"John flowhandle," of the Rural Neve Yorker, has been to a Suitt Fair, and thus gives his ezperionoe thereat : As it was not su far but what we could go with our own team, mother and I concluded we would bitch up and have a week to see the sights and some cousins we haornot seen for a long time. Mother (that's wife, you know,) thought we ought to take something to the Fair. I told her to take a tub of her butter, but she raid she didn't think it was good enough, but thought I might take some of the stock. But I thought tt would be a great bother. However, Sani was pretty strong in the faith that we could beat every body on horses, and wanted to take old Nance. She's a right smart beast, is that old mare, you may depend. Well, we packed off Sant, fur I was willing to give the boy a holiday. It does the buys great good to attend these kind ut Fairs, I do believe, after sceiug all I saw there. We got safely to townlonday night, and Tuesday I went up early to the Pair grounds to see what was going un. I got in and hun ted up Sam, and found he'd got the mare el.. tend, and had got his card un her head and a &lasi stall, and all things comfortable.— The animal arrangements were firt.t-rote generally, and during all the time of the F'air the supply of fud her was good. 1 think that dlnj. Patrick, who was everybody in ntansging things, a trump sort of a man. As I w.ts standing up near the business allots in the crowd, I heard a couple of men talking alk.ut premium,. Oue said to the %Kirov : •' Are you no cxbitfrikm?" ..y ms s. "So am I. sod w•e bed better look to the Committem." •• Why so f" " You see the committees are newer all full. and if you are un hand as the big tent when they ere called, it's easy to slip in a friend, which is .1 mighty nice thing autneticsoe , 66 Weil, I am showing a patens fur soaking cowenalLers. and it I can get the premium it will make my fortune." "And I eta showing a new kind of bobtail ed bens, and a premium won't set me back." 4 ,, Weil, you get mew on to your committee, and I will name you fur '• All right ; gu in to win when you can." Thinks I,perhaps if that's the way the things lean I may as well take are of myself as anybody else. Krerybody fur himself seems to be the rule on these occasions. Su of I streaked it to the cattle pens to flied • . ith, whe is my neighbor, sou know.— Smith is in the patent bull line. [Mr. P. eridergly wax., impruced.l Says I, Smith you're showing Lulls and 1 ana showing old Nance, and I tress if merit counts we' can win. And that • talk here on paper." Then I tukl him what I'd heard about the commit,. tee. " Is that so r " Exactly," "Well. - 1 think aki Nance is the list maze in the yard." " fin you're got the best bull on the ground." Then I wild him that we moat be up at the tent in time. Well, sure enough, when the committees were mule up, I was on Smith's bull commit tee, and he was on the mare committee. The bead man took the book as hail the things in it, end we were all introduced to each other, and went due n tu look at the bulls. We were on the red bulls. Si we went along and looked at them, and I didn't say much till we acne to Smith's bull, and I looked at him pretty carefully, pulled his tail, punched my fingers into his ribs, and went through the maims as J had seen the others. Says " that's a bull that looks like IL" Smith had ccuni.ed him all over with a fine-toothed comb, and brushel him with a hair brush, and ho did look slick, fur he was just as fat as a bug- And from all I saw, I think fat at Lirs, like a loft the htwyar said about charity, curers a multitude of sins. Just as I said that, the fellow who had a bull in the next stall comer up to me pretty tierce, Laud says he: " What do you know about hulls?" " IS ell," says I, "I think I know what they are used tor in nay section." " May be," says he, "you are on the com mittee?" " I hare that honor," says I. " But," says Le, " that Lull hain't got any pedipee." " Wen," rays I , "Le had father and mo ther, hadn't Ls:" "Oh ! yres, but then nobody knows who they were." " Well. then nobody knows bnt they were just as likely as your bull' parents. , ' But, sir, look at my bull's pedigree.— There it is, sir. Got by imported shirttail, out of skim-milk, by thunder," itm—and be showed a string of natant as lung, as his arm. 's Well," says-I w lbe committee, " are we to judge the pedigree or the animal ?" And they said—" The animal of course." " Then," said I to the fellow, " will your bull get better stock than this!" "01 worse he will," says ho, "for he's got a pedigree and that bull ',ain't." "Well," says I, "your hull has gut somebody to brag for him, agiti the other hasn't that's certain." And that sort u' knocked him.— " put," says I, "I've known people who felt grand over their pedigree, and I've seen a heap of people who couldn't go further back than their father and mother that banged them all to pieces for smartness. "Handsome is that handsome does," says I, and as the hymn-book says, " a man's a man fur a' that." Pedigree go to gram I go in for the animal." When' we gut through and looked at our marks, the other two bad Smith's hull mound. I had him first. So we talked It over, and finally, as they didn't care much about it, they altered the figures and gave Smith the premium, which 1 !wink was right. Smith had a great time over old Nance.— It turned out that each of the other two oum mittee men had friends whose mum were to bejudged, Old they pretty soon picked out they favorites. Sone kept still and Let them talk, and they soon got into a quarrel, and then they appealed to Smith, and he kinder aided with use, bat thought old Nance was the beet mare, and WHY. to keep tlw otttr from getting first. they• aided woo bias. sad he woos in for boob of theirs.

I. rim a wreck of sunflower-pots and rubbish be selected one sound pot and a deal rat lying near the heap. Placing the I rat in the flower-pot he covered it up with mould, - leaving out the tail. which ho fixed perpendicularly by tying it carefully to a sin.til green stick which happened to tie "con venient" umong the garden rubbish. /111 next called on the l'rofessor and told hint that a t need, Lieu tenantA —( whose ship har ing touched nt one of the islands of the then terra iii,,guita, Japan, had excited some in. ' tercet.) had presented him with SI curious kind of cactus. This he wished the Profess -4 or to examine. No one, Mike said, had been able to mike it out, and he might keep it fur ten years an I not find five persons who • oufd i so he hardly felt justified in keeping , it out of public collection, and yet he did not like to part with a keepsake from • "friend." The Professor eagerly repaired to examine the vegetable curio,ity. After a do.• inspec tion he detet mined what it was, or at least ' christened it by a fine Greek name—two words as Mike said, averaging sixteen letters. The Professor exhausted himself in persuad ing Mike that the interests of science requir led that he sacrifice to them the sentiments of friendship, by surrendering this rare rodeo ; lion of the vegetable kingdom to the keeping of the botanist. The reluctant Mike even tually consented, on the willing and solemn assurances of the Professor that it would be tended with the utmost care; and so it was. Hued in a hot house it ass cautiously be sprinkled with water at a temperature of seventy degrees by the thermometer. It was noticed awl described in the Kalb:mai listel. ; ligeoterr. The notice was copied into the oth 'cr pni ern. The cactus was exhibited with pride to several eminent individuals. At length with the heat and moisture, the tip of the tail began to excoriate. The Professor was delighted—it was budding. It was ex amined with great interest by one of his chief patrons "the great Daniel," to whom the botanist premised ine of the first slips forMarshfield. "It was too goodajoke to keep," said Mike,especially in a hot-house; so believe long they "smelt a rat." The wrath and shame i l of the Professor was excessive, and so was 1 the indignation of "the great Daniel," not at ;the' author of the juke, but at the unfortun. i ate botanist, whom he stigmatised as ''a tile i frog eating Frenchman, through whose he had been taken ist. and wLo oaght to have known better." Antiquities of Horse Rasing. There ean be no doubt that horse-racing has been the popular amosementof this coun try from the time of the Norman Conquest; but no mention of a horse-race is on record before the reign of Henry 11., when the court and nobility attended the tournament at Smithfield during Lent, where the London citizens disported themselves in martial at tire on horse-back, and rates were the order of the day. In the stormy times of Charles I, racing was neglected, but during the e.m)- nmwealth it was again in high estimation. Cowries 11. was our great patron. Newmar ket became the royal headquarters. The king's palace was built, two springs of which still remain, with the palace stables. lie kept a brilliant stud, Arabian horses, royal and barb mares, were numerously imported, and race-burses nasumciltn improved charac ter. A royal race-course was established on Hatchet Mend, near Windsor. .in lAxtn, ical Clia)ader.—Abd-El-Knder, whose exploits are historic, but who during late years has been almost lost sight ot, is pro bably about to return to active life, under the guidance of the Emperor Napoleon.

Fellow Democrats :—There is a crisis ap- preaching in the political affairs of this coun try that will shake the pillars of the govern ment from centre to circumference, and it will become the duty of the great Democra tic party, which has always been true to the constitution and the laws, to step forward once more and interpose its saying power, and to stand as an impregnable bulwark a gainst the storm of fanaticism. of sectional ism, which now looms up in . the Aistanceand threatens to disturb the peace and harmony of our country. This great party has on sev eral occasions teen a mall of fire between the constitution and its emernies, between the law and its violators, between the Union and those who sought its ruin ; but now, in the language of a Revolutionary patriot, "are the times that try men's souls." And the same writer says, " the sunshine patriot and the moonlight soldier will in this crisis shrink from the seri ice of his e)u utry, but he that stands it how deserves the thanks of man and woman." This patriotic language ap plies itself very appropriately to every true lover of his country at the present moment, and we can truly say to the great Democratic organisation, in tiew of its divided and dis tracted condition, that the Democrat who stands with uufiiiiihing fidelity by the side of his party in this crisis, deserves also the thanks of man and woman. I can with equal propriety as to the members of our party, that the au inn Democrat, and the moonlight soldier in Democracy, *ill in these days shrink from the duty he owes to his country and hi's party, but he that stands it now is . entitled to the gratitude of his coun trymen forever. The Democratic party now occupies pre cisely the same position among the affairs of men that the true patriot did when he shoul dered his musket in the cause of American independence. In that day it was life or death, liberty or deeputism---an independent repeblie, where each and every citizen could enjoy equal rights, equal privileges, under one common constitution, or a perpetual des potism of King George, wherein the rights of the mord° 'rare curtailed and unequal. Britain, as all forms of despotism naturally do, continued to rivet the chains of bondage tighter and tighter at each fresh assumption of power, until the natural rights of the oul onies were totally cut off; hence the taking up of arms, and the independence of the States. Even in that dark hour, when liberty had been bunted in every quarter of the globe, and an asylum fur nutukied from the arbitra ry power of kings, emperors and autocrats about to be secured, we find those who oppo sed tbe.Deelaration of Independence, the war, and even the treaty of peace, wherein the in dependence of the colonies was recognized. After our separation from the mother coun try, we stall find that treason was rampant a gainst the infant republic, and attempts fre quently made to remodel the government af ter the fashion of monarchical systems. As the government wended it way onward among the nations of the earth, under the guidance of wise and loyal men, the spirit of treason in a great measure was supplanted by an overwhelmimg sentiment of the States in fa vor of sel-goverumeut. This great truth had forced itself upon the people. The alien and sedition laws may be mentioned, under the administration of the elder Adams, as a _prominent relic of despotic rule ; and the pre sumption is strung, that h a d it not been for the true Democracy of that good apostle of human rights, Thomas Jefferson, the govern ment would from that time on have gradual ly rolled back into the same form of govern ment which the calories had only a few years before repudiated upon the field of battle.— At chi' period of our history the Democracy took its rise, and arrayed itself, (under the leadership of the immortal Jefferson,) against all forms of legislation that would directly or indirectly affect the liberties of our people. The true banner was hoisted, with " virtue s liberty and independence," upon the one side; and upon the other side, " the Union, the constitution, the enforcement of the laws, the equality of the States, and the free exer cise of religions opinions." This motto was inserted upon its ample folds in letters of liv ing light, and will only fade away ,with the overthrow of the Democratic party: - Ever since this immortal man first enunciated the great truth, his followers have, with a perse verance and a loyalty unparalleled In the history of party organisation, pr carved the banner in its original, and defended the prin ciples thereon inscribed. The Jefferson De mocracy, as if under the guidance of the Su preme band, was at once a great deliverer of the people from approaching aristocracy, and an impregnable barrier between the liberties of their countrymen and the enemies of re publican goveransent. There is a tendency, not only in human af fairs, but in all living things, to go down to rule ; and it is only by continual watchful ness upon the pan of those whom minds and hearts are in the proper direction, that gov ernments and other things can be saved Men untimely rain.

Matucus. NO. 47 Letter to Andrew G. Curtin. Irrom U. Eellasgrows Thugs. Ma. CURTIN ..—As you are now a promi nent candidate before the people of this Com munwealth for the highest °Moe the people of a sovereign State alone can confer, Andes you duubtlees desire every man in the State to vote fur you for Governor, I take this season able occasion to gi ve you, as well as thepato lie, my reasons why I cannot and will nut vote fur you. When you wan Secretary of this Commonwealth, a circumstance occurred in Bellefonte, the place where you reside s showing satisfactorily to my mind that you possess bo malicious a spirit to fill, with sav creditable degree of dignity, the honorable position of Governor over a free, civilised and enlightened people. The circumstance was one of too serious a nature to be lost ; and as I told you that I would on some future eoca• sion remind you of it, I shall mow proceed to do so without the fear of your revolver in wy niind. I will here first state that I am only a 016 man, and by profession am a huckster. As the time above referred to, I came to Belle• fonts on busitiess. I had an excellent dog with me to guard my wagon. A number of boys began teasing the Jog by running at him ; and some went so far as to threw stone. at him. So soon as th.) dog would defend himself againt these unjust attacks, the un godly boys ran into the houses ; but nominee had the dog again returned to his wagon, than the boys would also return and repeat the insult. Among these boys was the sou --- of A. G. Curtin, wbu being a little tardy in reaching the house, was caught by the dog lat the leg of his pantaloons. The dog was at once reealkd and tied in the stable belong ing to the hotel, so us to prevent the buys from teasing him. Soon after that you tame to me and asked me whether it was my dog that had caught your boy. I told you that you should keep a " little cool," and I would_ explain the matter ; but you would nut bear me anclwalked off greatly excited, and retrn ed with a revoker in your hand and a crowd followed you. You walked up to me and drew your revolter and said : "Thu dame Dutch eon of a if you say one word, Pll good your God dam bulch son of a b braise Oa 1" That, Mr. Curtin, was my introduction to our secretary of State ! It was a luud and strong introduction ; and I must say that I never had an introduction to any ofik.ial Len tlemen (1) I so well remember. You then turned to the poor dog and shot him three timer, and said you had amillier ball left for we; The subscriber is ready at any time, when called upon, to verify these statements by good and reputable citizens who were present and witnessed the sdene. Thew, then, Mr. Curtin, are some of my reasons why I really and honestly think you are unfit to be at the head ail tree. Dutch and sovereign people like that of Pennsylva nia. You seem to have a very oontemptible opinion of Dutchmen ; but allow me, Sir, to tell you that the Dutchmen of Pennsylvania will show you by neztOctober tbaS the, have an equally contemptible opinion of you.— They will shout you, not with revolvers, bet with something more effectual sad honorable —paper balls I It. PICKARD. Middleburg, Pa., August 6, 1860. The sultject of our biography, was born at Bunker Hill on the 4th of July, 1776, and was one of the original signers of the pre cious document which sealed our liberties on that day. We refer to the Declaration of Independence. His father's name was Mr. Lincoln, his •411Sther's Mrs. Lincoln, and if he bad sisters they were known as the Minos Lincoln. At the age of two yeses, young Abraham commenced splitting rails for a living, singing bountiful bloom while so en gaged, and displaying all those noble virtues fur which he has state Leen distinguished.— When he was about ten years old, Boston suddenly became the hub of the universe, and required so much greasing, that cleanly people were obliged to move away. The Liu coins went to Illinois where Abraham be came the ablest lawyer in the &ate in less than a week. His reputation fur eloquence was anpsralleled.
