11l lii FOR AWARDING Ppr.MJC.M3.
The-Judge? on auinuila will have regard to,
symmetry, early-maturity and general quali
fies characteristics of-the breeds —making duel
allowances for age. feeding and other eireuii
stancei*connected with the character and con
dition of the animal. They will be careful in
their report, to distinguish clearly the pedi
gree, whether full blood, grade or native—*
They will bear in mind that the great object
is to encourage the production of good stock
of each description for breeding.
The Judges on Agricultural productions
will have regard to quality aud "perfection as
well as size and quantity produced. Iu no
case should they'award a premium for an ar
ticle of forced and unnatural growth when the
same has been produced fit the sacrifice of
every desirable quality, the object being to
give encouragement lo such productions as
are uiost perfect in quality, size and quantity.
The judges on agricultural and mechanical
implements and manufactures, should have re
gard solely to the superior adaptation, dura
bility and general utility of all articles pre
sented to them. No premium should be awar
ded for articles merely for the su|erior work
manship exhibited in their construction, when
the same does not possess the requisite quali
ties for utility and general usefulness.
It will be the duty of the Judges on articles
not enumerated iu the list, to award diplomas
and commendations when iu their judgment
the extraordinary character or superior quali
ty of the same shall merit ; and when such
articles, coming within the rules of the Socie
ty shall merit cash premium?, they will vote
tiie same in their report to the Executive Com
mittee, who will fix the amounts of such pre
miums.
The judges will be expected in all cases in
' making their reports, to give a statement of
I the reasons which influenced their decision
j pointing out the superior qualities of the ani
mals or articles to which premicms are award
-1 ed. In no ca?c will thev award a premium
when the animal or article is not worthy, tho'
there be no competitiou. And when there is
but one competitor, although he may show se
veral animals iu a class, or sub-division, only
one premium will be awarded, that to be the
first or otherwise as the auimal or article may
be adjudged to merit.
NOTICE TO COMPETITORS AND EXHIBITORS.
It is very desirable that persons who intend
to become competitors or exhibitors at this
fair, give early notice to the Secretary of their
intentions—stating the kiud of article or ani
mal they- wish to enter ; so that ample pre
paration may be made for the same. The com
mittee are anxious that the arrangements
shall be full and complete, so "that each de
partment will have its full space, and each ani
mal or article fairly- and properly exhibited.
A committee of judges will meet at the bo
rough of Towanda, on the Ist of De
l cember next, to adjudge such crops as caunot
; be gathered and prepared for exhibition at the
; Annual Fair.
Every precaution and care will be taken
that no article, however costly or delicate in
texture or manufacture, shall be in the least
i injured. Officers, in sufficient numbers, will
I be on the grounds, whose duty it will be to
look to the safety of everything on exhibition.

I grounds free of expense, to competitors and

Slavery Extension -The True Issue.
Tiie Boston Post says it is a libel on the de
mocracy to say that they are in favor of sla
very extension. Well, then, of course they
ate opposed to its extension ; so is Greeley,
and Seward, and Hale, and Chase, the men
and the party which the Post opposes or as
sumes to oppose. There is no escape from
this conclusion. " Slavery exten.Cou" is the
sole question before the country, for Kuow-
Nothingism is merely a galvanized corpse,
without life or motion beyond that imparted
to it by tne artificial stimuli of political ne
•vow aney.
We repeat, " slavery" negro slavery, and
■ legro slavery exteusion is the sole question be
fore the country, and to be (Tetcrxnined in the
approaching Presidential election, nd as Mr.
Senator Seward, above all other public men
of the day, embodies the opposition to this
slavery extension, the democracy, if opposed
to it in common with Mr. Seward, should at
once make him president ; and the Boston
Post, if opposed to this extension of slavery,
should join heart and hand in placing the man
above all others truly embodying that opposi
tion, in the Presidential elwiir, for the good
and substantial reason that the opposition
would be most effective when thus represent
ed. But the democracy are not opposed to
slavery extension, or that which ignorance and
delusion terui slavery extension, and the time
is at hand when those who assume to speak
for it must understand what they are doing in
this matter, or they had better hold their
tongues, aye, had better cut out their tongues
a thousand times over rather that thus" help
tu mystify and bewilder, and indeed debauch
tiic common sense of the people.'
Now, what is the position of the northern
democracy ?' Are they so ignorant, so stulti
fied by lies, by perversions of terms, by the in
ventions, the nick-names of imposture, by the
words " slave" and " slavery extension," as to
fear this Issue ? Are they such base and cow
ardly creatures as fo permit the curs of aboli
tion, the besotted tools of Britisli aristocrats,
the crazy old women and bewildered "white
niggers" of Massachusetts to delude or fright
en them from their duty—to permit Garrison,
Abbey Kelly A Co. to drive them into hostili
ty to the South—to carry out the " schemes'.
of European monarchists—to war upon south
ern society—to pen np their negroes—in short
to oppose the " extension of slavery ?" No,
indeed, a thousaud, a million times NO ; there
is not one single democrat in the whole broad
North opposed to the expansion of southern
society, or so-called exteusiou of " slavery,"
and they only wait to have the truth spoken
out, and tilings called by their right names,
to sweep the abolition imposture from the re
public, and to bury its besotted tools in the
profoundest depths—the lowest possible deep
of the popular contempt.
THE NEXT STATE FAIR.— The executive Com
mittee of the Pennsylvania Agricultural So
ciety, after conference with committees of citi
zens and of the Allegheny County Agricultu
ral Society, have decided upon Pittsburg as
the place for the next State Fair, commenc
ing on the 30th of September next. The
grounds of the Allegheny Agricultural socie
ty, have bceu choseu as the place for the ex
hibition. The funds necessary to secure the
grounds have been promptly contributed by
the citizens of Pittsburg.

WoxoKurt'L ESCAPE or Kicimr PASSEVJIA
ox THE HARLEM RAILROAD.—OU Wednesday
an accident occurred on the Harlem Kailroa-1
near tlie station at Farcies, which it is diff-
I cult to believe, did not result in a irreat loss v.:
life, and yet, strange to say, nebodr was in
ljured, although there were eighty persons us
board the ears. As the passenger train vfc
proceeding at its ordidary tpeed, one of the
axles of the baggage ear suddenly broke anil
the car was driven back on the first passenger
i ear, which, in its turn, was forced upon tw
i second passenger car ; the floors and seats
■ these ears were ripped up ami scattered m
directions ; but, wonderful to relate, uotasin
gle passenger received a bruise or a ratc.i
though of course they were all very nrueii
, frighteued. The President of the Road,
was in the first car, met with a slight coin--
sion, and the Conductor was slightly in," irci '
in the foot. Those were all the injuries
! taiued, and they were trifling enough.
