lien that ail tzen , temett who consented'to• - aeeer
office under the Administration stood pledged to
the same principles and-policy.
As the President understands the, principfes
avowed as the platform of the party at ll.iltimore,
all Democrats who joined in upholding and carry
ing nut the same were entitled to be recognized as
worthy "of the confidence of the mired party, and
consequently eligible to official
. station:
That all could not obtain office was manifest, and
that the distLibution could not be exactly equal
exinno.t the diflArent seoiann nt the party was
equally certain. Yet the rfkrtoutinit was intended
to be en made as to ire join cause of complaints to
.no one section. and i is believed that thin intention
has been carried out not only by the President him
self, but by most of his appointees, in respect to the
offices under the tatter
- it has so happened that your appointments have

of the party leel that they have not been fully re

C.abinet, with entire unanimity, recognize that por

of the,~.dti

you will so recor„nizelhem irwhe only cay that

I have not hitherto deemed it ,necessary to make
any particular enquiries as to the section of the De

re-union was .opposed to have been thoroughly

1852. But as the present excifed state of feeling
among political friends who acted together in 1852,
and who now stand unequivocally upon the same
platform of principles in New York, is suomerive
at a discrimination of which the Administration will
not approve, I shall send a copy at this letter to the
Naval Witter and the Surveyor of the Port, in or.

policy which the President will require hi be put

On Tuesday afterni;on last, at Philadelphia, just

THE *ELECTION.
We have delayed our paper, to give the
result of the election held in this County and
State on Tuesday last. To do this, made it
necessary to await te meeting of the Return
Judges, last evening. From the official vote
copied from the tally-papers, it is certain that
GILBERT, the Democratic candidate for Trea
surer, falls about 20 votes short of an elec
tion, and that his Whig competitor, Fosses,
is elected.
The remainder of the Democratic ticket is
successful, by majorities ranging from 200 to
700. Purr, for Senate, has probably 1000
majority over Booth, Maine Law candidate.
The State ticket has an average majority
of about 600.
STATE ELECTION—We have very meagre
returns from the State, but enough to make
it certain that the Democratic ticket is elected
by a large majority, and that the Legislature
will be Democratic in both branches.
Ramanans arm Farms —The New York papers
state that the receipts of the HuJoon River Road,
for September, were probably 8140000, and of the
Erie $475.000. The Central, it is thought, will go

toad, have both pot the are from and to New York
to $2, which will materially increase their receipts.
The Erie has adranPed its local area to 2 1.2 cents
per mile, and its through fare, 30c. The rates of
freight will also be increased with ample business
fur all its equipage.
SUDDNN AND PAINITL OCCINMENCIC —On Thom
day evening last, says the Havana Journal, Mr. W.
Bowlby, a Canner residing about two miles east of
Havana, was in the village in appearent good health
He returned home, and after visiting with some
friends until about t i o'clock, went to the barn to
torn his bones out of the 'stable. Alter being ab
sent longer than necessary, Mrs. Bowlby grew con
corned and started to see what detained him. lie
had died on bit way from 'the barn to the house,
and thus she found him. This bereavement is as
painful as it was sudden to his rebores and friends.
Mr Bowlby was probably 45 years or age.
THE A.LEANY END SUsin MANN 11%H.ROAD —We
understand, says the Albany N. Y.) Atlas, that
this company has purchased two large lots on Find
son-st.,—one formerly occupied by the old Park
House, and the other now occupied by the new
Park house—upon which they intend to erect their
depot building. All will at once see that the coin
pany has been particularly fortunate in securing
these sites. Their location being central, the de
pot will be rendered more accessible to the travel

about one hundred yards and met the slanderer,

previoin The experinient, which was a subject
of much anxiety to the persons 'foremost in the an
nouncement, has proved highly satisfactory. We
may now regard the Bradford County Agricultural
Society as a fixedfact—as being lullyintrabliehed i
and we shall look for its progress is years to come,
until the display- at its Fairs shill-be second , to no
County in the State.
We tegret that we are enable to give a tall de
scription of the articles exhibited, awarding to each
"the meed of praise they deserved; but 'as`no entry
was made of the strides deposited, it is aft Wpm
sibility. The-utter impractibility of having every
thing in order, as no calculation eoald be safely
made as to the number or character of the articles
to be exhtbited, was no fault of the managers, and
with the experience gained by this Fair, will enable
them to more complete arrangements next
year. We shall be obliged to content ourselves
and our readers with • general description of the
Fair, with the premiums awarded, and the report
of the F.xecutive Committee.
The place appropriated for the display was the
Public square, which was fenced in, pens being
built for cattle and swine, and a shed erected for
the display of vegetables, farming implement: and
mechanical manufactures. The entrance tor ani
cies to be exhibited was at the south-east corner,
and the place of egress for visitors, at the Court
House, where a place was built for the Secretaries.
The arrangement in ibis respect was excellent. At
an early boor on Thursday, the space allotted was
entirely appropriated, and the grounds made a dis
play such as was never before witnessed in our
County, and which would have done no discredit
to Agricultural Faint of more antiquity. In the nor
thern part of the enclosure was a display of blood
ed stock, which was of itself worthy of a visit, of
enormous calves, fine wooled sheep, and monstrous
hogs. Beneath the shed in the centre, came first
an exhibition of poultry, which demo..slrated how
much care and pride has been given in that line.
Shanghae and Cochin Chinas, and Austrian, and
Silk fowls, with a dozen other varieties, the names
of which we have forgotten, looked, in their coops,
as it fit fer Shakespe ire's alderman,
With fair round Lefty, with Cat capon lined."
There were also several varieties of ducks, of great
size and strange appearance.
The display of vegetables was very fine, tremen
dous squashes, plethoric pumpkins, whose golden
richness rivalled the hue of the hidden treasures of
California placers, and which are the products of a
richer mine than ever revealed the auriferous wealth
at that El Dorado,—celery of thrifty growth, clus
ters of onions, radishes, fairly bursting with . their
*unexampled growth, carrots, beets, cabbages ; of
bushel basket dimensions, cauliflower, egg-plants,
and many other vegetables, the products of our
farms and gardens, all splendid specimens of their
kind, and illustrating how care'and skill may en
hance the productions of the soil, giving a vigorous
instead of a shamed and unprofitable growth.
The display of grain, was not as large as we ex
pected, but yet enough to illustrate the fertility of
our soil. It is not oar intention to particulaiixe, but
the specimen exhibited* by JOHN Bl'Coan, of Bar
rington, shows a yield so unexampled that we can
not retrain from noticing It. It was of the blue stem
variety, and the product of six acres, was 364 bu-
shels, or 59 bushels to an acre, and the weight 64
lbs. to the bushel! If that can be beat in the State,
we shoold like to have the evidence.
Quite an array of flour, in barrels and sacks, was
displayed, the quality of which would compare
with the most celebrated brands.
Farming Tmplements, of various kinds, stoves,
mechanical manufactures, &c., were displayed in
considerable numbers; and reflected much credit
open the inventors and manufacturers.
The southern part of the enclosure was occupied
by cattle and horses, and seemed to excite much
interest and attention.
The attendance at the Fair was immense. No
previous occasion has ever callen together so ma
ny people in this Boro'. The enclosure was filled
with men, women and children, engaged in view
ing, the articles and animals exhibited, and who
seeme l highly gratified with the display, as reflect.
ing credit upon our County.
Within the Court Room, was displayed she ser.
eral branches of the Exhibition, under the care of
the Female Committees. Mach labor had previous.
ly been bestowed, in preparing and decorating the
room for the occasion, and its appearance showed
great taste. Evergreens bong In graceful festouns,or
clang to the pillars, or were disposed in wreaths
to grace an occasion of more importance than crown
ing the brows of conquering hero*, while above the
seat occupied by the Judges, the following senti
ment, in letters of evergreen, was attached to the
wall
"Plenty—The Reward of Industry."
In the centre of the room, the space usually oc.
copied by lawyers, and where our people ars ac
customed to hear knotty points of law discussed,
and flowers of speech scattered in profusion, wu
erected a mound, covered with moss and upon
which was placed a charming collection of hot.
house plants, generously furnished by some of the
ladies of the borough. Around the room were dis
played the various specimens exhibiting the skill
and industry of the ladies---while the attendance of
females was such that spectators were in doubt
whether to the exhibitors or the exhibition should
be awarded the premiums.
It is impossible to enumerate the articles exhibi
ted—suffice it to say, that almost every article in
which could be displayed the cunning of female
hands wu brought—needle-work, worsted work,
of various style—and all articles of housewifery,
which are so justly the pride of all true women

I demonstration are now removed It is no longer
a problem to be solved, but it has been fully de

those who, under the most discouraging /imam
stances have labored to forward this matter, should

Committee fell most of the burden, which was

A New Packtect.—What has become of the pro
jected Railroad that was to be built from Bingham
ton to the Pennsylvania Slate Line, there to con
nect with a Railroad direct to the Coal Mines
There seems to be so much delay, that a new, pro
ject is about being commenced—that of a Slack
Water Navigation hom this place to Athens, in Pa.,
some 40 miles below us to Susquehanna. This
would give us a'direct communication with the vast
coal and iron mines of Pennsylvania; the expense
is estimated $200,000, and in order to create this
slackwater some eight or ten locks would be ne
cessary, which will create water powers, the rent
of which would pal the interest of the cost. The
best of coal could then be delivered at Utica, via.
our Chenango Canal, at $4 per too, thus making
the Canal do what it has never none yet—pay its
own expenses. Stack water rersua—no, that is not
according to the new Code—Slack water ags.
