THE COUNTY FAIR.
Our late county fair was an admirable one,
and was attended by a great crowd of people,
variously estimated at from three to five thou
sand. The articles exhibited were excellent
specimens of what Huntingdon County eacels
in. We have endeavored to procure a list of
premiums awarded, to lay before our readers,
but without success. Perhaps by our next is•
sue we may rake one up.
The Meeting on Thursday.
The Chitin tm•etingitt this place, on Thom'

Howard, White, Miles, and Curtis. All these
gentlemen acquitted themselves nobly. Of the

We have never listened to an address of any

contest. Such speeches, are worthy a Webster

THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST COL •
FREMONT.
The Buchanan men, Fillmore men, and
Roman Catholics, have entered into a con
!piney to prove Colonel Fremont a Ro
man Catholic. Neither the friends nor
the enemies of Fremont sincerely believe
one word of the accusation. and this user- I
tion is proven by the position of the reli
gious sects in the canvass The Protes-
tent religious presses and clergymen of the
North are in favor of Col Fremont. The
Catholic religious presses, and the Catholic
priests, are in favor of Jamos Buchanan,' !
with the exception of the Southern State
or Louisiana ; for there the Roman Catho
lies are in favor of Millard Fillmore, and
their delegates were admitted into the
Convention that nominated him. If Fre •
moot were really a Roman Catholic, all
their presses and their priests would be ac
tive on his 'side, instead of furnishing. as
they are now doing, weapons to be used
against him by the Fillmore and Buchanan
men. The Buchanan men allege that
• Fretnont is a Roman Carbolic, and bring
the testimony of their own lriends, ,the
priests, to prove it. The Fillmore men
allege that be is a Roman Catholic, and
then adduce the evidence of strong Fill
more men and Papiali priest.. to prove the
accusation.

CANTON CITY, ILI, Oct. '56.
Meesne. EDITORS:—Since I have net pen in
hand, I will give you an abridged sketch of
political affairs in this young city and vicinity.
Heretofore the Democrats predominated, but
now they are almost annihilated ; iu short they
cannot raise a Bucliannier party of more than
fifty at, any time, and near a fortnight ago, at
one of their grand rallies, they could mice but
three—they sung the song "when shall we
three erect again," and adjourned until a future
meeting.
While on the other hand, the whole commit
pity appears to be alive and wide awake to
to their interests. Meetings are being held at
which multitudes attend—citizens. women and
children i in short, every body feels interested
in the election of Fremont and Dayton. The
ladies are so much interested that they are get.
ting up Fremont and Dayton banners valued
at from one to three hundred thAlars. Hon.
Kellogg, the Republican candidate for Con
gress, will be elected by a vaat majority, if not
almost unanimously even the isolated Demo.
crate will nearly all support him. Yours,

The Low Wages Speech of James Ba-

Hitherto the friends of James Buchanan

oration in Philadelphia :

day as the proper wngea for labor. This is a
