About 40 head of cattle were presented for our inspection, and all good, many ol ' them not noticed in the premium list, being Very -'slightly inferior to the best. The whole stock being such as to rifled the highest credit upon ihe enterprising gentlemen, who presented them, and would d no discredit to the exhibitions of cattle growing Kentucky., 7he committee can not pass in silence by1 the ealtla presented by Sir. Nevius, by J. D. Wolf andf by Mr. Sawer and others, which they thought inferior in some points, ,to the specimen to which we award premi-. urns, were notwithstanding specimens Ql rare merit and excellence, A Bull presen-' tod by Mr. Hill 4 years old is an animal of uncommon beauty, tire and symetry iho' not .deemed equal 'to those to which ihy ; awarded premiums. . Two heifers presented by W. Sawer, of the stock known as the Gambler slock .were animals of very great sins and beauty, a cow and calf pre-.. sented by the son of John D. Wolf, though i. in, poor condition, yet .showed, blood of which, Knox County may be justly proud. One Bull presented by Mr. Nevius, 6 years rold, of large sise and sy metrical form, together a cow and heifer, reflect high credit upon the taste and enterprise of that gen-. tleroeri, and attracted much of the attention of the enterpisirig farmer of old Knox. Bulthtwo Bulls to whioh the first nd 1 aeeond premiums were awarded we think . 'will favorably eooipwe with the est speci- of lonthera Ohio, or Kentucky, and indeed any other place. In short the whole collection was suoh as. to convince us that Knox County will shortly take rank with the best cattle growing contains north or south. son A Cow and Calf belonging to iao . ileum usq , was told on the S round, at the close of the Fair for 116 ollari and a cow for 76 60 Cash. . . . , E.

GEO.SKILLEN, -.A. THRIFT, C. S.McLAN?. Committee. The undersinod committee on ladies equestriansliip, report! ' The grand entry was made by the following ladies. .-.... Mia II P Warden, Mrs W Morton. Mrs Hilderbrand, Miss E Campbell, Miss A E Lngsden, Miss E Ewalt, and Miss Winne White, all of whom were well m mnted. They drew np in Irunl of Ihe committee at tbej'idgcf stand, and after being instructed mado two rounds upon the course in gallant style. Again arranging themselves at the committees stand, the following ladies entered for the ' . . ; . : Prize Riding: - ... Mis Elizabeth Campbell, Miss Eliza Ewalt, Miss Winne White, Miss Ann Elisabeth Logden, Mrs Hilderbrand. The order of riding adopted by tho committee was as follows: The first round to be a moderate gait, Ihe second fast trotting, ihe thild, the gallop at more or less sped a suited the riders, but without racing. , Each lady sat her horse well, and as they received their Instructions, the spirit of emulation and high resolve, beamed in their sparkling eye and bright .faces, and on the word away," tbey all started in fine order. The riding was spirited ani most gal- lant. In the second round Miss Campbell ohangod her horse for practiced trotter and made the (half a mile,) come in gallant stylo in l'io minutes, bringing in tho other ladies, whose horses were not train ed to trolling, at full speed, but tho third iuuiiu wag ma moat spuiwa sou u Bring, excited by emulation and cheered by the immense multitude that stood upon the field, the fair riders surpassed all expectations, and established for themselves the highest credit for fearless riding, self possession and gallant control of their steed. In addition to the above, the ladies rode the course singly, and made several volunteer circuit around the course. It is nroner to sav that owinir to some action of her horse, Mrs Hilderbrand withdrew from tho contest before fho trial was completed. When all deserve such hMi praise, the committee have found it difficult to dis criminate, and nwsrd the meed of honor to one, in the decision we make we are aware that many would differ from our judgment, and in some traits of the riding, we should concur with them. But, alter our best consideration, (and some compro mises,) we have ngreed upon the follow ing award. To Miss L'gsdon, 1st pre mium, a gold watch. To Miss Campbell, Miss White, Miss Evalt, each a sreond premium of eq lal value, a silver cup. All ot which is rep"Ctliil!y suomi .ted. HENRY D. CURTIS, IIKNRY McLANE, WM. BEVaNS, J. C. RAMSEY. FRANK PLUMMER, CHARLES MARKER, H. P. WARDEN, Pres't. E. Allino, Secretary. For tho Mt. Vernou Republican. Editor Republicam Sir: The following is an extract from a letter written by a friend in the south. The writer was hro't up in a free State, (Ohio, and in Knox county,) and, although he has traveled over nearly every slave Stale in the Union, and has finally taken his home in one, has witnessed the workings of the " peculiar institution" in all of its forms, right in its own native home. In a word, he has be eome thoroughly acquainted with tho in stitution of slavery, and it appears that his love for freedom is not impaired in the least. The letter is dated, Colorado Mountains,) Tex is, Aujj. 20, 1856. i I indorse every St ntiraent of your, remarks on the Freesoil movement of the north. Uni t be in the least deterred by all their (the south's) wolfish howls for till Union. It's all the most aickeninr humbugLjery. Swear by the ever-to-be cherished principles of justice and human ity, that the God-forsaken institution of slavery shall never be extended over another inch of our sacred soil, if you can prevent it. I heartily rej'oice to see the unparalleled upheaving of public feeling in the north in favor of Freedom and Fremont. If they don't cower to the slave- ocracy as usual that is all the danger. But 1 hope that their grit is up to a proper pitch this time. Although 1 mainly withdraw myself from the influence of this moral storm, I am free to admit that I never before had my leelings so shocked, or saw so plainly the arbitrary .demoralizing and barbarous tendency of slavery as in the proceedings of our government for the last two years. , Uuherto both parlies have profestel to be doing their best for freedom, and there may have been room to doubt which was Bafest to trust, but there is no longer any room for any such doubt. The one party is avowedly the advocate of slavery, the oilier ol ireeaom. The one tries to mys . . . . - . - . - tify tho subject, and may deceive some i 'no- rant people ; but they can make but tho one issue. How any Christian man, any iriend ol his country, any lover of fieedom, can vote for the party that patronizes murder and robbiiy for the sake of establishing suvery,. I cannot imagine. To see a President, elected from the land of freedom, equality, and .1.. .i. . i . .i . . r ,,. uputreuuy iu uie uigtiesi state oi civinzi lion, a man of respectability in such com munity, stoop from his high position, to pieaa with all the reigned zeal of an advocate at the bar of justice, the cause of human oppression, advance its interests with all the vast patronago of his office, allow its bloody executioners to murder, rob and in every way oppress and trample down the advocates of freedom, is certainly enough to shock all the moral sensibility of tne na ion. And, then, as if to demonstrate to the world that the spirit of slavery was determined to crush out all law, order and civilization, if necessary lo accomplish its hellish purpose, lo see a high legislative officer of government attack one siill higher, and nearly beat him to death with a deadly weapon, and have all nig-gcrdom hot only say amen to it, but reward the lawless assassin, by giving him similar weapons to the one he broke lo piece'4 in this diabolical act, is too much for the friends of humanity to bear. I do not execrate Brooks half so much for this villainous act as I do'his friends for approving of it publicly. It well may (as it often does to mj) call to mind the fall of old Rome, and the murder of C to jar in the Sena'e. - ' Mr. Cociirah : The letter of whioh the, above it only an extract, is a private one and not designed for publication, yet I I fee satitfied the Writer will not censure you or me for its publication. I send it to you for publication as a few drops of contribution to that Vast stream of influence which I trust will speedily convey Freedom's cause with Fremont into safe port. ; Yours Truly, ... M. D. ' Fata Viaoima Fifty : families ' from Virginia, of the denomination called "United; Brethren," all in favor of Freedom, have, through their ministers, selected a settlement six miles south of Lawrence, on the Santa Fe road, (n Kansas, and are now preparing to emigrate. .' nt ,n : ;'.- ! TWENTY-FIVE REASONS. Henry C. Carey, confessedly the ablest American political economist now living, gives me following excellent reasons why the people of the United States should act with the Republican party la the present political campaign : . I Because it is in favor of free speech and opposed to the club law on the floor of Congress, and to border ruffian law on the toil of Kansas. II Because it is in favor of free labor, and opposed to the policy which fills our market with the produots of foreign work shops, while our own workmen, their wives and children are unemployed. III Becaase it is in favor of free men, and opposed to the system which fives to 60,000 oligarchs, owners of hosts of slaves, tho sole direction of the policy of the coun try. IV Because it is in favor of free soil. and desires that the vast plains of Kansas aud Nebraska, sufficient to make twelvo such States as Pennsylvania, should be divided among the free men of the country, Iheir wives and children. V Because it is in fuvorof free government and opposed to the system which gives to the people of Kansas no choice except between martial law and the mob law of the border ruffians of Missouri. VI Because it desires to secure the liberties of the citizens, and it is therefore opposed to the doctrine of constructive treasons and contempts, by means of which a corrupt government and corrupt judges, now seek their subversion. VII Because it desiret to tettle all questions by means of the ballot box, leaving to the advocates of slavery the use of the revolver and the bowie knife. VII Because it has no affinity with the pnrty whose leading organs teach their readers that "slavery," whether for the black man or the white, 'is a legitimate useful and expedient institution:" and that, therefore, they should seek, "not merely to retain it where it is, but to extend it to re-regions where it is unknown." IX Because, in seeking to protect the national property frjm the dehlement of slavery, it acts in strict accordance with the principle of that great ordinance of seventeen hundred and eighty seven, which with the single exception of one northern mem ber, received the unanimous vote of Con gress, and has since been confirmed by acts of Congress, bearing the signature of every President from Washington to Polk. X Because it protests against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, to which in lii-lU. Mr. liuchanan clung "with more te nacity than ever." XI Became in advocating the cause of Free labor in Kansas it acts in full accor dance with that Compact of Peace which set limits beyond which slavery should not be extended, and within which it was not interfered with. XII Because it is purely National, and Anti-Sectional holding I hat the North has rights as well as the South ; and that those of ALL should be equally respected. Xlll Because it is emphatically the pirty ot the union o ing the only one that has never threatened dissolution of the connection, because of success or failure in tho approaching election. XIV Because it has incurred the hatred of all section tlists : as well as those living North of Mason & Dixon's line as those living South of it. XV Because it is the parly which follows in the track ol the patriots of the rev. olution all of its doctrines on the subject oi iree ana slave labor being those derived from Washington, Jetienon, and other emi nent men of the South. XIV Because it stands by the Consti tuuon as interpreted by Washington, Ad am 3, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams the younger, Jackson, Van Buren, Harri son, lyler.Poik, Taylor and Mr. Buchan an him-elf, until the passage of the infamous Kansas-Nebraska act all of them having held that Congress had full power for the government of all the national territory, and might exclude slavery at its pleasure. XVII Beciuse it is the peace party repu lia'.inr altogether the highwayman s plea.t-mbodied in the Ostend circular, XVII I Because it is the sound currency party advocating the adoption of meas ures that will cause to be retained at home the gold now sent abroad to be applied to tne maintenance ot the currency ol other countries. XIX Because it is the high wages prty wholly opposed to the idea that reduction in the price of human labor, or the reduction of the free laborer to the condition of the slave, is the measure required to enable us to compete with the pauper laborers of Europe. XX Because it is the party of Freedom everywhere; anxious to relieve the millions of poor and down trodden whites of the SouLh from the degrading and debasing tyranny to which they are now subjected. XXI Because, holding that Freedom is National, and Slavery Is sectional, it obj cts to all measures tending toward enabling Southern planters to "call the roll of their slaves on Bunker Hill." XXII Because it is the party of sound m rals being opposed to the introduction ofeiiher Slavery or Polygamy into tho Territories of the Uuion. XXIII Because it has for its chief stan dard bearer, J. hn O.Fremont, a man of intellect, spotless mtegrily, and unshrinking firmness; one fully worthy to be the successor ol Washington and Adams, Jefferson. Madison, and Jackson, in the Presidential chair. , . ; ,.v ... . XXIV-Beetuse that standard-bearer is an advocate of "free labor" as"tho natural capital which constitutes the real wealth of this great country; and creates intelligent power in the masses alone to be relied on as the bulwark of iree institution!. XXV Because in him we have a has and not a mere Pro-Slavery Platform. ISP The indications from the old Keystone 8tate, are growing brighter and brighter for freedom's candidate. Look out for Pennsylvania's thunder. Outrage oftlie Itufflans. ! . ...... it is doubtlul whether any year in the history of savage warlare iu this country, has witnessed so large a nunub.r of families thrown into to great terror and mUery over so wide an extent of territory, as we have just seen among the peneeablo and freedom loving settlers of Kansas, under the late invasion of Border Ruflhos, insli gated by President Pierce, his ndviscrs and his masters. What a memory will be associated with his name in the future traditions of those families I ThoNuw London Chronicle of the 23J, publishes a letter from Mr. Charles Cranston lo his wife, dated at Odsawatomie, the 9th of June. Mr. C. is well known both in New London and Norwich, and both the Chronicle and Courier di clare him to be " a young man of the first re spectability, mid there will ho no hesitation among those who know him in giving implicit credence to ony and everything he says." Ho appears lo have had charge of tne steam mm at u. When I came home from Lawrence I found that there had been five persons murdered eight miles from here, and all our settlement was in great excitement, and were expecting that we would be vis-i ed by a mob, but in a few days the excitement went down and we went lo work again. But last night, about one hour before sundown, what was our surpriso to see large bodies of men moving about ihe streets. I was in the house, and when I stepped to ihe door I found about ono hundred Missourians had surrounded the house. I went out and looked nround, but could see but nine men that belonged to the place. They immediately took us prisoners and then commenced their devil-ibh work. They robbed all the houses, stole all the horses, and took everything else that they wanted. They questioned me pretty sharp to find out who I was and what I was doing in this place. After they found out what my business was, they took mo down to the mill and swore they would hang me and tear tho mill down, as they said 1 was in the employ of the Emigrant Aid Company. I lold them I was not, but was at work for myself. I then loi-k my papers out of my pocket and showed them my books, whicti satisfied them that th mill belonged to me. Tuey said they would let the mill alone, but as I was a damned lunkee, they would take what money I had I would not take it out of my pocket, so they took it out. They then took me over to th.ir camp, and kept me until this morning, when they took my pNtol from me and let mo go. Tin y took $800, my horse worth Si 25. and my pistol, so the company have lost 8925, but have Bavtd my mill. We have no heart to do anything; here now but fight. 1 am going out with a pnrty to night to see what we can do. Massachusetts Republican and American Convention. . Worcester, Sept. 16 This afternoon both tie Republican and American Conventions united on an electoral ticket, Juliu-i Rockwell and Thomas Colt b. ing electors at large. Previously the American Fie- monters had nomina ed Dayton for Vice President, in place of Johnson, and pledged to laber for the election of the former- The Fremont Americaus also pledged ih m selves to hold Congressional conventions on tho same day with, the Republicans, with a view to union. The question came up in the R-publicnn convention, as to adopting the American State tbket, including Gardner for Governor. There was considerable excitement and confusion. Finally a motion was adon- tcd that the Republcaus nominate no Slate ticket. This is satisfactory to the Fremnnt Americans, nnd ensures the united votes of both parties for the Fremont ticket. The convention was then addressed by Gov. Graham , of north Cnrolina.and Messrs. Granger, of New York, R cd. of Va . Jaun- cey, ol Va., and Lunt, of Ma-s. fFrom Iho Boston Lihi-rat.ir 1 The Way Radical Abolitionists Sujport xremoni.
