. The'annual exhibition, under the direcSon of
the Ohio State Board of Agricultural, will be
heldat.the City of Cleveland on the.lsth, IClh,
and 17th days of September.
■ Extensive arrangements liavo been made, and
are still making, to have one of thomost impos
ing. exhibitions ever witnessed in the country.—
It is expected that great numbers, of citizens of
OhiorNew York, Pennsylvania, .Michigan and
Canada will attend, either as spectators or eihi*
tors and competitors for premiums.
. .We learn from the Cleveland Herald that the
grounds of the exhibition, are fairly located only
about one mile from the Court House, are ey;
metrically planned, and a general knowledge of
all the localities can be obtained at one view.—
They contain about 20 nores, yet are so level
that they do not give an idea of their full ca
pacity.. The surface is mostly in turf, beautiful
ly studded With shades. :
All the Boilroads except the: Mad Biverand
E. E. B. 8., have arranged to toko stock and
articles sf exhibitionat the Fair, over their roads
free, and passengers at half the usual rates, and
: tho stoatnboat linos front BniFalo, Dunkirk, Erie,
Sandusky and Detroit bare made similar ar
rangements. -Canals "will charge no toll; Stock
and articles for exhibition at the Fair, from
'Canada and foragneountrios, will be duty free
if not sold in the V. S. Stock for breeding is
free by law.
: : Hotel keepers nt Cleveland, have pledged them
■; selves to. the Board and public,' that they will
not charge more than the prices opposite their
. names for .board and lodging per day.
. T?e hope Plttsburghwillsend n large delegation
to the Ohio State Fair, and that our. enterprising
mechanics will.tnke with them specimens of the
improved . agricultural Implements made in this
the last two years.
• The first session of the Con*
gress, •. adjourned oa Tuesday, after a nine
mouths’ s itting.. We are. sure this will be
good-news to every person, particularly the tax*
psyers of'the country. . These long' sessions, of
Congress have became an insufferable boro; es
pecially-whenall the business transactions could
be attended to in a session of one month... All
that the members appear to care about is their
oight dollars a day, which they receive for sit
ting in their seats, and answering to their names.
Nearly all the speeohes made daring the session
that has just oloßcd were “for Buncombe.” We
are sorry to say the Democrats were just os guil
ty os the Whigs in this business.
It is about time that sensible, practicable busi
ness men were sent to Congress, to attend to the
datiesi of legislation. This thing of tbosiog
mero county politicians, . especially flippant
■ fourth-rate lawyers, should have an fend. Men
. likelohear themselves talk “an infinite deal of
nothing” for hours,: but they do not seem to com
prehend the important fact that all their gaseous
-speeches are madent the expense of the toil and
sweat of millions, of laboring people .throughout
' the country. - We want more business men in
Congress—men who know the wants of the peo
- ple,ond will attend tothem. promptly, without
. being guilty of the folly of talking for days in
.succession about things they don’t understand.

THATSCBIP.
Mr. Magill, the Journal, and tho Gazette, are
mostznysteriously silent on p the scrip , guatian.
The whig organs appeared to think at first that
Mr. Magill’B statement wah perfeotly satisfacto
ry, but they know full well, if they would telt
tho truth, that it was not satlsfaotoijr to them
selves, and that they desired Mr. Magillto make
out something better. However, he will not da
it, and they have now left himto the tender mer
oies of Joe Barker, aod-that individual is tear
ing him to-pieces, and ho bqsnohopo of suooor.
We have not attended any of Barker’s meet
ings, and we know nothing about his charges;
but we havo information. from- .other souroes
which justifies as in believing that a .great many
transactions have takenfptace about tho Com
missioners’ office, .which - require
For instance, what is the explanation the Com
missioners .are prepared to give as to their com
promise with a janitor of one of the court rooms?
Tho report is, thatthey aoonsed him of stealing
the scrip —he heard of : it, and immediately took
tho proper, steps to have them prosecuted for.
slander. : They became alarmed, and, apprehen
sive that the history of the tcrip might he sifted
out on the trial, ; they paid him $3OO to molify
his indignation.
This is a well authenticated statement; but if it
is not true, Mr. Magiil can make unofAer “state
ment," and inform the people through the col
umns of the Gazette and Journal, what became
ot thal tcrip that scat deposited in the V. S. Court
Room. As the matter iB nowunder investigation,
we think it is nothing mote than kind on our
part, to remind Messrs. Magill, Biddle and
White of the various little matters that havo < to
be explained.; And while speaking about .the
disappearance of tho tvrip, from that Court.
Room; it iB desirable, that they should tell tho
people who left tho.door open, after it had been
deposited there, and if the Commissioners really
paid the attendant threehundreddollarsta hold
his tongue and stop the suit. Can any one of
the three gentlemen nalued explain this matter,
ani tell the name of the person who had the key :
after the sorip waß deposited there? We nsk:
the question in behalf of the people, purely for in
formation, inasmnoh as we have .heard some
thing about the manner in which tho stealing
was done, and we only'want to know if tho in
formation agrees with that of Mr.- Magill, Mr.
Biddle, and Mr. White. All wo want is to ar
rive at the facts, and. we are determined to per
severe until we can find them, :
We havo been informed on the best authority
that a whig ex-commissioner .believes that at
least twenty thousand dollar! of the county scrip
cannot he accounted for, and Ac thinks that the de
falcation mag go to amitch higher figure.
Now this. is what the people desire -Messrs.
Magill, Biddle and White to explain. Where
has this money gono to ? Who has it? If it is
out,-will the gentlemen named tell the tax-pay
ers, who have to Tedeem it ? That is an impor
tant question, and many of onr farmers who oro
apprehensive of short orops, would like to know
from the gentlemen - whether all county scrip
with the name of the whig candidate for Sheriff
signed to it, will pass current at Ah o Treasurer’s
office. This is a leading question, and many
Whigs as well as democrats desire a direct an
swer to it.
The wings ore deceiving themselves by sup
posing that they can evade this question. They
mutt tome to it, and they must bring their candi
date to it. The scrip question mast be explain
ed, or woo to-Mr.,Magill and the whole whig
ticket. \
£©* Itis said that Barker feels so certain of
beating the whig eandidate, that he is willing to
give up that counterfeit note which he has been
exhibiting at meetings, for a valuable considers-:
tion. Mr. Magill has too mnoh modesty to bid
for it, and Ac : candidato for tho legislature will
not negooiate until he hears from the “ Infant
Drummer." He is a very wise young mao, end
some times can keep his mouth shat, but not al
ways. If there is a respectablo profit realized
. from-the first concert the Infant may giro for the
benefit of: tho whig party, ho thinks he will try
to boy it, if the othercandidateswiU throw in! .
New Hotel in Cleveland.—We learn that a
sew Hotel, of the largest class, is now being ereo

It is to be four stories high, and wilt have a front
of CO feet, and H3feot in depth. It will befur

Wehave sot heard who is to bo the lessee and

in the Forest City, who is better calculated to
please the public, in that respect, thou our wor

For tho Daily Morning Post
WAiKßu’a Mnts Pa., Aug, 80th 1852
Mbssbs. Habpkb & Pflnups: *>
Sirt: As you have been tho constant and un-,
wavering friend,-from the-dime when a railroad
was just agitated from Pittsburgh to Stouben
ville, until tho present, I thought, perhaps, a
short description of the location of this road,
and how tho work is progressing, would not be
uninteresting to you, and the readers of the
Morning Post.
I might. state, however, in .advancing, that
when the.ideo of a railroad was just spoken of
from Pittsburgh to Steubenville, some ten years’
ago, by a few persons along tbe present route';
(myself among tbo.rest,) it was treated by sons
Pittsburghers as ohemcrionl and visionary. - - The
germ of the Pittsburgh and Steubenvilio railroad
is found in its direct route to; the west cutting
off, as it does; the great bond in the Ohio river.
Prior to the organization of the company, it
was thought that there was only two ways of
getting-west from Pittsburgh—eithorby tho val
ley of Sawmill run, with a long tunnel through
coal bill into ChnrtiorsValloy, or down the Ohio
river to the month of, tho said creek. But by
the science and skill of Mr. Mithcbcll, the indi
fatigable and competent Chief-Engineer, a third
and more direct route was discovered, by whiah
the road roachOß Chartiers Valley five miles from
the Ohio river, thus saving two miles to Robin
son’s run, it takes the latter stream via Nobles
tawn, Egypt,Bulger—at Bulger, by a out of sev
enty feet.. or a short tunnel, it gets into tho vol
ley of Racoon, following that stream to Bur
gettstown, where. there win bo a short tunnel,;
which brings the road ■ into Harmon’s creeks
which Btreami; it follows- to tho Ohio river at'-
Stoubenvillo.
-The course .of tho road .from . Pittsburgh to
StenbOuvilie will be nearly duo west,- on a “Bee
line” from Pittsburgh toColumbus, Indianapolis,
and St. Louis—forming on important link
in the great chain of railroads, from the Atlan
tic to the. “great. west," and ultimately to the
Pacific,—with St..Loais as their common centre.
Perhaps, Messrs; Editors, yon orounaoquainted
With iho typography of the country, between
Pittsburgh and Steubenville. Nature bns doao
much for this road.- At Bulger the wafers of
Robinson's run and Racoon interlock each other,
so also at Bargottstawn the , waters of. Racoon
and Harmon's creek do in the same manner.—
The science and practical , skill- of Mr. Mitchell
enabledbim to take advantage of these “freaks
of Natnro" nnd put the road on the best possible.
ground.
... The couufry between Noblestown and Bnr
gettstown, for fertility of soil, and the beauty of
Its sooner; and its adaptation to railroad purpo
ses, is unsurpassed by any in tlia State, west of
the mountains. Indeed, during tbo entire length
of this road, tbo ground is exceedingly favorable
for making a first class road. Tho curves and
gradients will bo fully os good as tho ; Western
and of tho Pennsylvania railroad.
The work on nil the heavy seotious hits, been
commenced by the contactors with an onergy
and vigor, which insures completion. Sections
2, 3 and 4,10 and 1319 and 20, have made un
common headway for the short time they have
been at work. The cheapness of labor will ena
ble contractors to finish their contracts' in tho
time specified—eighteen months.
And now, Messrs. Editors, can there—dees there
remain a doubt in the minds of Pittsburghers, ns
to the paying, part of this roads, when wo con
sider that it will have a branch by the valley of
Chartiers to Connonsburg and Washington—-also
another on the eastern shore of tbo Ohio 'to
Weilßbnrgh, nnd probably Wheeling, and proba
bly another on tho-western side to Bridgeport,;
Ohio—when wo consider, also, that it will have
aU the carrying trade of the Steubenville; and
Indiana road, which last named road taps tbo
very heart and centre of that “ young giant”—
Ohio—checkered over as she is by hornet wbrk
of'railroads, drawing, aB this road undoubtedly
will, her full share of the trade and travel of ail
the cross mods of Ohio, which traverse that
State from North to South. Who can doubt
that this will be one of the best, if not the very,
best paying roads in the country? Not taking
into account her own local trade and travel whioh
will be considerable; also, - the item of cool,—
(traversing, as this road will, a anal bed during
its entire length fromTittsbnrgh to Steubenville)
Whioh will find a market throughout the entire
State of Ohio, and at tho Ohio at Steub
enville, where tho prlocipal. difficulties of
navigation on that river .in low water are
passed, whioh will enablo aoal merchants and
others to load and ship coal to the lower Ohio
and Mississippi when it would bo impossible
for boats to get out from Pittsburgh—l say, tak
ing all theso thingainto consideration, who can
doubt that this; will be one of tho.bcßt, if not
tho re/y'Jej/, paying roads in the country.
Bat I did not commence this communication
to arraign Pittsburghers, some of them have
done. well--nobly—and yon Mr. Editor; havo
done your full share; but wo must not rest nor
slacken onr energy antil tho shrill whistle of the
locomotive proclaims to tho inhabitants along
tho route that the Pittsburgh and Steubenville
railroad is completed. I. W.
ITEMS FOR POLITIC!ASS*
Mr. Charlos Hollis, of Camden, N. J., Dr. Har
rison, and Dr. Jos. B. Strafford, heretofore load

They all took part in a Democratic meeting at
Camden tho other day.
A letter from North Carolina to tho odltors of
the patriot, dated Aug-22, says : “ We • now en

vote of North Carolina. Qraham is no-tnoro pop

An organization to be styled the “Young Men’s

: On last Friday week the sturdy Demooraoy of
the Tenth Legion of Virginia, met in mass meet

“ The Canvass of Frands."—Still Another.
- The whigs of New York, soys the New Haven
Begister, have got out a counterfeit “ Sliove-
ii fo 0 f Frank Pierce, purporting to
be genuine, in which all kinds of extravagant
and ridiculous: stories arc told about him. This
is. another species, of .whig electioneering; and
shows how desperate ’the action of the - whig
party has beoome. The Republic will doubtless
he ready to cry out that this'is only another

ard? dictionaries, means.another “fraud” an
other “cheat,” another “false protenoes.” It
is to be hoped, however, that in this ease no con
gressional . signatures have been either ■ really
appended or forged. ‘ In respect to frank*, we
suppose -they win be forthcoming somehow-U
either forged or gennino.
- This mode of whig ; - canvassing must of itself
Insure the. election of General Pierce. It is a
grass insult-to theintellifPhce and dignity of
the people-op.-, tho.part of, the whig? managers,
and, as 'the-people will, regard and resent
it* It results from and. attests the old federal

great and growing evils. The petty fomenters
of villagq,vexations arc but the practitioners of
evil on a larger scale, when the errors of others'
admits them to enlarged powers.. Incapable of
comprehending the wants of the Country, the af
filiation of its several interests, or- the requisi
tions of society, destitute of inventive powers, or
of the disposition to improve, they-regard their
mission asdistinctionsmerely, and seek notoriety,
by means of oppression. affiliated organiza
tion of mercantilemen in all the cities will go
up to Congress in snoh strength that even the
stolid indifferanoe.of tha bond of the Treasury
may bo startled at its significance.
Before we take leave of this matter, wo should
like to ask the grand jury of Wasbington when
they intend to inquire into Mr. Corwin’s connec
tion with tho Gardiner Claim ? That sale of bis
to his brother, is . looked upon by all sensible
ble men as a eham—a regular woolly horse—got
up to mislead the .publio and make a piece of
rascality look like a “fair business transaction.”
The idea that Mr. Canvin’s brother paid thirty
thousand dollars for an unadjusted claim, is; all
gammon. In the first place, an unadjusted-claim
is not worth any such sum, and in Ihcnext place,
Mr. Corwin’s brother had no such sum of money
-to dispose.of. People who know-him, say; that
attha timo of the sale ho was not worthoue thou
sand dollars—boats and shirts inolusive.
If that be so, then that thirty thousand dol
lar operation was nothing more than a “blind”
and ingenious mode of gettingaround a financial
difilculty which looks. so much like corruption,
that the grand jury should at least favor it with
ancxamiuatlon. Let us see if they will have
the courage. ' Stir him up.
Coxmectlcat 'Wlitg Convention Xtepndia.
- ting, the Platform,
The following paragraph from tbo New Haven
Register shows that the “higher-law" men' are
carrying . matters with a high hand among the.
whigs of Connecticut.: As has been well said,
In view of tho position of the Scott men nud the
Webster men, the whig party is now divided into
two hostile sections—one .of which repudiates
the party candidates and accepts the party plat
form, while tho; other repudiates the platform
and supports the candidates:
“ Tub Signs or The Times.— Tho Whig State
Convention- for .the -nomination of presidential
elcotors have oarofuUy-omitted to pass any reso
lutions approving of the Baltimore platform, or
of tho compromise Measures adopted by their
general convention, at which Scott and Graham
were nominated. They do not oven soy a word"
of approval of Mr. Fillmore's administration, nor
pay a passing compliment to the 'first statesman
of the ago,-’ as they used to call him, Daniel Web
ster. At tho whig ratification meeting held here
daring tbo session of die legislature, they also
refused to adopt the ‘platform ;* but, as a sort of
half salvo, they passed resolutions approving of
the Fillmore administration, which, the Union
whigs were told, covered the platform, because
Mr. Fillmore was o;‘platform’ man; and in this
way they hoped to pacify both wings of whigge
ry—abolition and compromise, Bat nowtboy
throw off all disguise" and show themselves to be
—•that is, the leaders and the great body of tho
party—anti-compromiso, anti-platform, Sewnrd
whigs of the higher-law breed. We were prepa
red to seo thorn kick over tbo platform, ever
since their file-leader Greeley ‘spit upon it;’ for
we have known the managers all along to ba of
the Seward and Greeley stripe, who could not
hide the cloven foot much: longer; but we did
not expect to see them so openly turn tho cold
shoulder to Fillmore and Webster.”

What is a Fop? —A Mr. Stark, in a leoturo
before the young Men’s-Association of Troy, N.
T., gave n definition of the above: ..
; ‘‘ The fop is a complete specimen of an outside
philosopher. He is ono-tbird collar, oUC-BiXth
patent leather, one-fonrth walkingßtiok, and the
rest gloves and hair. -As to his remote onoestrjf
there is semo doubt, but it is now pretty well
settled that he isthe son of atoiior’s goose. He
becomes ecstatie at the smell of new cloth. lie
is somewhat nervons, and to dream; of a tailor’s
bill gives him. tbo nightmare. By.his nir one
would judge he had been dipped Uko Achilles;
but it is evident that'the goddess held him by the
bead instead of the heels. * Nevertheless,: saah
men are useful. If there were n'o tadpoles thero
would bo no frogs.: They are not so entirely to
blame for being so; devoted to exteroals. .Taste
diamonds must have a splendid; setting to make
them sell. Ooiy it does seem a waste of mate
rial to put $5 worth of beaver on five cents
worth of brains.’’

; Shade Tubes is Cities. —Tbo lost article pre
pared by the late A. J,: Downing, for the press,
was in discouragement of the cultivation of the
Aitauthus—a tree which was introduced into *
this country from Europe, though it was origi
nally from Chino, and became popular on ac
ooant of its rapid growth. The objections are
its unpleasant smell, both in leaf and flower,'
and its innumerable snskors, which exhaust the
soil. Mr. D. recommends instead, tho Amori-
Can maples; for light soils, and tho milder parts
of tho Union,-the silver maple; for the North
and; East, the soft and sugar maple..
