Iat Tna CotNTv Faib. We neglected to
notice last week, the County Agricultaral
Fair held at Milton during the week previous
We were prescut ou Friday. The exhibition
was well attended especially by tbo people
of the upper end. There were very few pre
sent south and east of Sunbury. Milton is
the centre of a fine agricultaral district, but
not of the couuty, uor does it follow, by any
means, that the bett aud choicest products
oio iuu id in uesi sou. l uero were u
great maay things present well worthy of ex
bibition, but also a number that could claim
but little distinction fur superiority. Upon
tbo whole, wo do not think our Agricultural
Fairs, havo oxhibited tbe progressive im
provement that niighs bave been expected,
and for a rich agricultural country are, in
many things, sadly deficient. In the arrange
ment there is room for great improvement,
which is also the case iu the appointment of
committee.. Tliero are a number oT com.
mitteeg that should be constituted in part,
if not wholly of ladies. It is difficult, we
know te get men to exercise, iu all cases
proper discrimination.
t3T Pennsylvania and New Yohk City.
The State of Pennsylvania appropriation
bills average ubout five millions of dollars.
Of this sum about two millicns is required to
pay tbe interest on the State debt, leaving
three millions as the annual sum necessary
to keep the machinery of government in mo
tion. In the report oflhe Controller of New
York we fiud that nearly $15,000,000 has
been received ant1 expended in governing
that city for one year five times as much as
the whole State of Fennfylvania costs; and
this sum does cot include tbe taxes paid by
citizens of New York fr State purposes
Some of tbe items of expenditure will show
what it costs to govern a great city. The
item or lamps and gas costi 400,000 j police,
nearly ana million of dollars ; salaries or a
rious officials, nearly hulfa million j common
schools, over a million ; paper and printing,
half a million ; almshouse, more than six
huuJred thonsand ; cleaning and paving
streets, half a million j redemption of boods,
Ova millions. Tbe total valuation of real
and personal estate in the city or New York
is $531,191,290, on which eight million! tr
lax ii directly levied. Tbe people or New
York know that they are swindled out or
large lams, but find it impossible to check
tbe boiioess. Tbe bordea of debt and taxa
tion or Pennsylvania is a mere nothing, when
contracted with wbot it t osti tai city or New
It.
OUR DEFEAT AND ITS CAVSEB-
The result of the recent aleclion in this
State hat taken many by tarprise, yet to re.
flectiog nen and lonnd statesmen there wn
nothing perhaps ery ntraordinary. When
labor is abnndant and well paid prosperity ii
alwaynora to fallow, while the revirM ii al
wayi lor to produce the oppotiU effect.
It has been evident for years past that oar
manufactores were struggling to maintain
tbemielvei under difficulties that must in the
end result iu ruin end disaster, if th general
government, to which they bad a right to look
for encouragement, did not protect tbem.
From ike democratic party, they certainly
bad some reuion to expect it, inasmuch as
the great body of that party, was made ap
TroDi tbe laboring population. But our pclili
ciaas when they get to Washington, loon for
get the ntccisities or tbe people and in that
whirlpool of extravagance and dissipation
"give up to party what was meant for man
kind." There are some, however, who bae
battled for the great interests of Pennsylva.
nia, from first to last, witheut regard to party
movement. Among these we may properly
mention the name or Gen. Cameron, who has
always contended Tor tho interests or tbo
manufacturers and laborers or bis native
State. Perhaps it may not bo out or place
to refer to his speech in the United Stales
Senate last session, on the presentation of
some petitions for protection to the suffering
laborers of Pennsylvania. That speech was
truly prophetic and has been verified, almost
to the letter. We have only room fur the
following extracts :
'The laboring men of this country are
powerful for good always. They do control
when they think proper, nnd I think the time
is coming when they will control the politics
of this country. 1 tell them that before thy
can get proper protection, they ruest change
the majority in this Senate, they must change
the majority in the other House of Congress,
and, above all, they must change the occu
paut of the White House, who is the dispen
ser of the power which controls the legislation
of this country. In place of gentlemen who
sneer when wo talk about protection, they
must send men here who know something of
the wants, something of the interests, some
thing of the usefulness of the laboring men.
Hitherto they have not actsd as if thy carei
for their own interests; while they tnlked
nbont a tariff which would guard their labor
from competition with tbe pauper labor of
Europe, they would go to tho elections under
some wurd leader and vote for men to repre
sent tbem here and eleewhere who cared only
for party drill, and who had no interest above
party succoss. This system they must change
if they hope for success. 1 think tbe labor
ing men of Pennsylvania, at least, are now
beginning to put their own shoulder to the
wheel, and I believe they will make such a
noise in uext Octoheras will olarm the gen
tlemen all over the country who laugh at
them."
Tbe opposition are now organized and sus
tained by men like Gen. Cameren who bave
been schooled iu the ranks of the democratic
party, and theso men, it may as wo'.l be snid'
were among the ablost or our party, because
they united to ability and capacity, indepen
dence and an honest desire to promotn the
interests or the State nnd coantry. That
they should turn to acconnt tbo blunders as
well as tbe Tollies (to use a mild expression.)
of the general administration wai both na
tural and proper.
There is, then, nothing very astonishing in
the result of the late election. It is simply
au expression of tbe people agaiust tbe acts
of their own representatives and officers of
the General Government, whose subservency
and fawning sycophancy hag never been
equalled in this country, and will render, even
the administration of John Tyler, respectable,
by way of comparison. It is not sayiug too
much when we allege that the opposition, un
der the leadership or a man of tho efficiency
and sagacity of Gen. Cameron, will build up
an organization tuut cannot fail to prove a
poworful competitor of the democratic party
for public favor. It behooves tho democracy,
therefore, if success bo desired in future con
tests, to see that the party is no further do
moralized by the powers that be, iu their
utter disregard ol public sentiment and of
the rights and interests of tho people.

Uf The Dcrkt County t'ress sayi it is

Puii.AnRi.riiu. Oct. 16, 1858.
lilt Excellency William '. Pacler, Otmtr-
nnrof Vtnntylvania Dear Sir: Oo tht first
day of yonr entrance on official duly, I recei
ved Iroin your baad a commission as a wunga
or the Supreme Court or Pennsylvania. The
event then coasiderrd possible, perhaps I
should lay probable, bai just been realized.
1 bave little to say of tbe meant which pro.
duced it. On receiving the appointment, I
thought that being a Judge, actually titling
on tbt bench tnd deciding on tbe rigbtl of
men of all shades of political opinion, 1 ought
not te write t political letter, nor to make a
political tpeetb. In the first place, I wai not
nuns to bide my claims to tht since,
however small, In tbe shadow or a mere polit
ical question. In tbo next place, I wai and
1 am thoroughly convinced, by reading and
reflection, that whenever a Judge can bt
elected by reason of his lentimenti on any
qusBlioa or politics, that moment tut rea!
power c,f tlia judicial office will disappear.
1 ossibly this may be a very erroneous poc-
trine, very inopportunely expressed, but 1
shall maintain it, while I possess a moral
seme or retain a rational iacnity. In the
certain prospect of a defeat far more disas
trous, not one hairsbreadth of it should be
abated.
The reverse which has occurred to the party
is or lesi conseqnence than we art apt to
nippose. 1 he Democratic party is coeval
with tho Government itself, and it will exist
so leng as the Republic endures. Within its
ranks men will always he fonnud, who remain
there only to do with more success the work
of disorgatization. The party itself though
lepreseed, is not destroyed. Tbe point or
its lowest depression in that from which it
will, or necessity, begin to rise. At this mo
ment, I solemnly bel'cve it tn be the best and
strongest political orgnnizstioa which has
ever existed for preserving the lnferesta of
the whole country.
Now to the point. I am not weak enough
to suppose that the enclosed commission has
bad much to do in causing the present politi
cal excitement. Nevertheless it is plain that
the people rf Pennsylvania prefer another
person as a Judge of their Supreme Conrt.
In these circumstances, it seems to me a sun-
pie dictato of delicacy and propriety to retire
from the office. In addition to this, I ought
to state that there are several important cau
ses pending, in which 1 wish to take part as
counsel, and these require immediate atten
tion I, therefore, enclose mv resignation.
I'hc office was tendered by you very kindlv,
without solicitation on mv part. 1 resign it
gratefnlly, and without, ns 1 hope, having
brought upon it a slain or dishonor. Less
was accomplished than I could have wished,
but 1 am not conscious of an act which does
net meet the approval or my own sense ordn
ty. To yourseir personally, nnd to those
friends who are sending me their sympathy, I
nog to say, in a word, that there is no cause
ror regret. I return lo n profession which 1
was conscious of abandoning too soon, and to
a position at the bar as honi rablo as that
which is now relinquished, and sn much more
remunerative that comparison is out or the
question. Certainly 1 ought to regard it no
hardship to exchange Tor the ronilort or home
that wandcrins life which th law of Pennvl-
vania compels her Judges to lead. If I bave
any regret it is in parting with those pur and
upright men who will romain lo discharge
tbeir arduous and unrequited work.
w ishinr you a prosperous administration
of public affairs, 1 am

ijjr Tuns "Occasional," the Washington
correjpondent or Forney's Press, referring to
tho approaching session of Congrev and tho
revelations then to be expected, says :
"The conditian of the Treasury is unprece
dented in the time or peaco, for Ibe extraor
dinary spectacle or a great country spending
nearly twice as much as its revenues is happi
ly a rare one. Tht nation will look with
great on.tiety for tbe remedy which the Ad
ministration bas to propose. Certainly some
thing ought to be done to change our revenue
system speedily. Of all the t a rill's we bave
Lad, tho preseut is the most crude and inju
dicious in its constrnction, and any change
that may be made will bo almost certain tft
improve it. Tlio other groat events of the
year have been the Utah war an 1 tho remark
kah'.e progress that has been niad in official
despotism, corruption and centralization, as
exemplified in the severe testa applied, and
extraordinary expedients devised to force
from the organization or tile I'emocrstic par
ty an endorsement of Mr. lidebaiian'i Le
compton policy. It is a very grave qnetion
whether the highest Interests or the nation
do not imperatively deanaud that the legisla
tive branch of the Government sbocld inter
pose a decided check to tho growing arro
enlice and dictation of Presidential power.
Do not ha surprised to see an earnest move
ment in this direction at the nest session. It
ii a favorite old Democratic maxim that
fiower is constantly being taken from the
minis of many into the possession of the few.
There never was a bet t.-r illnstration of this
troiom than that we havo witnessed daring
the last vear."

"Our crotchety neighbor lins a genius Tor

lime in distilling mono beams I ruin eucuin

ploughing with roses on a sandy shore, ft ly
ing eels at tbe wrong end, setting carts before
horses, pitching nets to catch tbo wind, cut
ting blocks with a razor, making chalk
chevse, wishing black-a-moon white, aud
guarding the moon from wolves. There is
not a draft scheme it has not, io its day, tried
its hand at ; hardly a loutade or a whim-wham
that bus not, sometime or other, floated cut
or the watery ventricles or its brain. And
now our mad cap friend talks or the ecctu

were prepared for almost anything from the
