STATE FAIR .
We spent but a single day at the Stale hair
this ycar,but in that. day saw enough to salis~
fy us that the march of improvcrneut in Agri-
cultural matters in Connecticut is onward, al-
though, like our own County Fair, in the
number of entries, the present exhibition was
not equal to some former years. ’
Brewster Park" is a most charming spot for
the purposes of the Exhibition, and thc_iimc
is not far distant, iir our opinion, when the
State Fair will be a fil‘f'ff flu-t, each year,
upon these charming grounds. The fetal
number of entries as given by the Palladium
are classified as follows:

'2. Horses. ‘37:!
3. Sheep, Swine and Poultry. 200

Among those from Fairfidd County we no-
ticed the following entries :

Ridgefield Town Pair.
We spent a. few hours at Ridge field on Fri-
day last, on the occasion of the 2d Annual
Exhibition or Town Fair of the Farmers'Club
of that town. We were most agreeably sur-
prised,bollr at the extent and merit of this
purely [own exhibition. ll'ecountcd .08 pair
of working cattle in the train (a friend corin-
ted 101 pair,) all of which were superior cal.
tie and many pairs superbly beautiful. In
fact, we do not know that. we ever saw frnr-r
specimens of the favorite Ct. Ilcd Ox, than
were a few Yokes ilr this train. In fact after
feasting our-"eye for the beautiful" for the
two hundredth time on those plump littlecrca
tures of Wm. Ilickok. (which were in this
train,) we ceased to wonder how the ancient
heathen conldpvorslrip an ox. The lattlc
.train was attached to a Farm i-rs’ Cart. with a
pine true. standing upright and loaded
with every conceivable farm and garden pro

“brought forth" at. Ti/irux.

The Great Oyster Bed.
Capt. Nash furnishes us the yellowing de-
tails concerning the planting of the great
oysterbed. Those acquainted with its pro-
‘cise locality will see that the bearings given
by the Capt. would bring the line of his oys-
ter sirewing‘: precisely over where the great
bed is new found. TlroSc familiar with oyster
chronology, give it as their opinion that these
oysters are from 28 to 30 years ofage. which
would carry it back to the period of Capt.
Nash’s loss of his oysters. It is the theory of
some also that the oyster spawns npo the
flood tide. which for the time intervening
would sulllcicntlyaccount for the present ex-
tent of the bed. Nathan Roberts, who was
their mate of the Minor in. and now a resident
of Norwalk, has frequently mentioned this in-
cident, and expressed his conviction that an
oyster bed was planted at that time, and, we
believe, the subject of trying the bottom in
that locality, was often seriously discussed by
lrimselfand friends. Our venerable friend
objects to our off hand statement of last. week
that. he claimed the“ honor” ofplanting this
bed, and if. isdne to his unpretending nature
to say that he simply desired to state an in-
trrmliugfuct. hoping that something useful
might grow out of if. in regard to the already
great and growing interest ofoystcr planting.
ileassurcs us that if Divine Providence has
thus unwittingly made him the instrument of
0 great a. blessing to his fellow men,he claims
no merit therefor. We Append the statement
in his own words: .
“ I). K. NASH, of the schoon Minerva, of Norwalk,
being bound to Clrarlestown, Msss., about the latter
part of October, 1‘58, the wrnd blowing heavy to the
castward,-—lraving on deck about 30 bushels of scollop
Oysters. mostly Single, and apparently of large two
years growth, intended for his own and his friends’
winter use. Tucked ship in Huntington bay and stand-
ing to the north, 9. litile to the westward of Eaton’s
Neel-L Light House, entered Norwall: Ilarbnr through
the mid-lie passage. While standing on the course
above indicated, and fairly m the Sound, the schooner
laid her gunwalo well 'under water ; when she riglrled
so as to free herself of the water, if: was discovered that
very many of the oysters had washed overboard. This
was repeated, so that we had distributed on our track
about one half, or 15 bushels of oysters. 'l‘lrc seabcing
ronglrmn-l the wafer deep, the oysters thus distribu-
ted must have extended to considerable width, and the
schooner passing rapidly through the water, at consid—
crableli-ngtlr. Mr. Nathan Roberts, the mate, made
the remark at the time, ‘wc have planted a bed of
Oysters for somebody.’ 7’
,aw We hearlhaf. there is already a falling
ofl'in the " takings,” but as we saw nearly
two hundred sail from the roof of' the Crew
zen'r'rn Burnnine, last week. hovering over
the ground,we conclude that there are“ a
few more left of the same sort.”

We have heretofore forborne any allusion to the re-

and the train late, and in the hurry of passing from
the depot to the train, at the Berlin Station, he made

Elec tions. ‘
From Iowa we learn tlrnt'tlrirleen counties have been
heard fran at Chicago, and they have gone about as in
’57, when the Republicans carried the state by 2000
majority. '
In Ohio, the Republican triumph is sweeping. Ilen-
nisou’s ninja rity for governor is about 17,000, and the
whole Republican state ticket has about the same.—
.ludge Girolson who was the special target ol'nssanlt is
hardly behind the rest. The new Legislature stands :—
srzxa'rn—Republicans 25, Democrats 10 ; harsh—Repub-
licans 04, Democrats 40. That will do.
In Pennsylvania, they claim 15,000 majority on the
state caneidates, but. probably it is not so large. A frill-
vote was not given in many of the counties. The Log-
islature is strongly opposition, tlrgelect 10 senators
and the Icons 1. It is believed that the nmjorify in the
House is'about as large as 'last year, notwithstanding
the loss of three members in Phindelpbia by a blun-
der in sending out tickets. '
Thomas E. Cochran, now chosen Audrtor-(lenerah
was fairly elected in 1856, but cheated out. of the re-
turn by the wholesale frauds in Philadelphia and its vi—
cinity. (icn. WM. ll. Kenn just chosen surveyor-gene-
ral is a. Republican of old Burke,and was chosen thence
to Congress late last year to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of J. Clancy Jones. '
The Assembly is strongly opposition—we think near
ly the same as last year, when it stood 63 to 87. The
senate (last year Dem.) is also nearly two-thirds oppo

weeks rev clled in the high priced luxuries so easily ob-

ance oflife and gaiety; things as usual at this season
of the year, crowd the prornenades of fashion and sweep
the busy mar-ts of trade. There is something exhila-
rating in the rush consequent upon this state of fhir.‘
During the clear fine clays of Indian summer, there is
an excitement about New York found in no other city
on this continent. As usual in large cities, people are
so wrapf. up in their own affairs that a murder or two
creates an excitement for a day or two, and their evap-
orates. .
The great topic . of conversation at
steamship “ Great Eastern” and the airship “ (‘ity or
New York.” About the time the Great Eastern is ex-
pected to arrive and astonish Brother Jonathan with
this colossal specimen of marine architecture, John
Brill will be petrified in consequence of the arrival of
the Cify of New York, two days after clearing from the
Aerial Custom House over "It: Crystal Palace, with the
New York papers only 45 hours old. This balloon is
no less gigantic 'in its conception and construction
than the big ship, and has required not one whit less
of nerve, thought, force and determination:
The construction of one has commanded the concen-
trated wisdom, science and skill ofa nation of savans
and the surplus capital of an empire of speculators,
while the plan of the ollre was conceived aird the work
cnmmenced, continued and consrinmtcd by tlrornglrt,iu-
domitable energy and capital of a single Yankee from
the granite mountains of New Hampshire. From the
time that Professor 1'. S. C. Lowe, by reputed aerial
ascensions made by lriur with a view to reduce acre.

an airstrip properly constructed could be navigated to

this one great object, and now as the result. his City

est undertaking of the 10th century will be determined.

From [he .lllissduri Democrat.
Necessary Attributes of the Repubican
Candidate for the Presidency.
The defeat of the Lecompton Constitution
in the House of Representatives, revealed the
fact that down right hostility to the policy of
the National Democracy is not confined to the
Republican party. It also demonsti; ted the
practicability and power of a unite' ' pposi-
tion. It seems to us that political parties in
the nation at largc,prescnt the same condi-
tions precisely. which political parties present-
ed when the schemes of the Administration
were submitted to that body. We grant. that
the Republican patty itself, and willrout any
outside aid, may be strong enough to elect a
l’residcrit,,whercas the Republican represen-
talivcs were not strong enough to defeat the
Lecompwn. But in going into the Presidential
contest, the fewor risks incurred the better.
The cooperation of the Americans and Free
Soil Democrats. whose representatives in Corr-
gress acted with the Republicans, would con-
vert a probabilily into a certainty. The'lle-
publicau party, pure and simple, may be pow-
erful enough to elect their nominee, whoever
he may be”. Willi the assistance of these
Americans and Anti-Leconipton Democrats
referred to, their ability to elect lriur could
not be disputed. These simple propositions
must be admitted by every one whose nriird is
uirder the control of the reasoning faculties.
Now the question arises, how is the co-opcm-
lieu of these elements to be secured? We
answer at once that it. can only be secured by
nominating a candidate acceptable to
them as well as to the Republican organ-
ization. N0 platform, however .mningly
framed, will meet the exigencies of the case ;
no number of professions by inl'lividuals or-
associations will overcome ancient feelings,
prejudices though they may be. The charac-
ter of the uonrinec is the only power which
can consolidate all the drilling but kindred
material let loose by this dissolution of the
American party and by the partial disintegra-
tion of the National Democratic party willr
the Republican organization. A representa.
tive man must be selected—not a man who
reprélcnts the leading idea of the Remblican
party and nollling else, but a inany~sidcd
though single hearted representative character
who mirrors more less distinctly the complex
interests and numerous ingredients of a uni-
ted Opposition. Of'course he must represent
clearly aird mrcquivocally the great control
principle of the party whose stan..ard bearer
he shall be. This condition is indispensable.
We only contend that his opinions and note.
ccdents must be broader than the platform on
which he stands : that his inlellect and charac—
ter must be, uch an order, that no Procras-
tean process can compress lriur within the
party diagr in; “make rrurst he possessed of'
wide syrup iesan iberal views. Af'terlris
nomination James Buchanan boasted that his
individuality was merged in the Cincinnati
platform—a boast which only a mediocrity
could ntler. The candidate of the Republican
party who would receive fire support of. the
united Opposition, must, it is evident, i’éprc-
sent more than Republicanism. He must
represent both sections of the Union, and all
divisions of those who are opposed lb National
Democracy, except that division which affects
Savory propagaudism. Ile must represent
conservatism, as well as progress; and when
we say represent, we mean he must be recog-
nized by the nation at large as representing
those interests, divisions, and ideas.
We notice that the peculiarities bf the
present situation of political affairs is utterly
overlooked by two classes of persons—those
who ignore the Republican party as a vital
and distinct political organization, and who
affect to see nothing but the inorganic mass
of“ the Opposition; and those who, blind t9
the detached elements, see nothing but the
lepublican party,pure and simple. The for-
mer put such men as John Miner Botts and
Sam. Houston in nomination, as candidates to
be suphirted by the Republicans. They seem
to be oblivous of the fact that the candi-
dacy of'such men is impossible, for the simple
reason that they do not represent the leading
principles of the Republican party, more
especially its central idea, No Southern man
can be accepted by that party who is not. an
eirr:rircipati0rri>t. This is the infallible test. to
apply to an,’ aspirant. who dwells in a Slave
State. Many other fuels might be applied,
but this is simplcaud sufficient. The Republi-
can party is radically an Anti Slavery party,
and it would sign its own death warrant. and
q ch the brightest hopes of the nation if it
intrustcd its destinies to any other than an
open, Anti Slavery man. The Ashlanders.
who nominated Bel ts for the Presidency, must.
therefore have very little political insight;
and still css have they who present Sam
Houston’s name to the consideration of the
Opposition. It would-be an ungenerons task
to nssail the latter ; so we will merely remark
that he conclulcd his Senatorial career by
supporting the President in all his iniquities.
Those whose views are so contracted as to be
unable to look beyond the Republican camp,
are fcnndllfcxclusivcly in those quarters of the
country in which the Republican party is in
the ascendant. They have not reach of vision
to discern the restless masses in the distance,
who may have it in their power to turn the
scale of victory,but who are lief. unwilling to
unite their lorluncs with the Republicans,“
a leader shall be chosen in whom they may
also oontide. Ilcro worship seems to be the
passion with this srct of straight-out. Republi-
cans. They seem to think that the elevation
of this man or that to the Presidency is the
prilncdnly of the party. The abstract with
them is lost in the concrete; they are unable
to separate measures from persons, the sub-
stance from the shadow. They are held in
thrall l'iy hurries, and by the semi-civilized
sentiment which idolizes leaders. Because
their chosen chief reflects tlicmsclvesdlrey are
indill‘crgut' " ‘ ”her he reflects the ‘conntlcss
thousands whose votes are required to elevate
him to the Presidency. If the National Dem-
ocracy had been controlled by men of a simil-
ar stamp, Ji-fl‘crron Davis, or some such sccrs-
sionist and slavery propuc'andist would have
been llCllllllilIl‘fl in Cincirurati, and of course
would have been beaten. The election ofany
candidate and especially any candidate for
the Presidency. is but a means to an end ; and
hence mini/ubililu is a paramount considera-
tion. When a party is powerful enough to
elect any man whonr it may nominate, it may
with propr'ilty choose him who most nearly
personifies its principles and tendencies. Bill.
when the quesiion is not whom shall we elect.
wlrenr can We elect. then another and different
standard must. be applied.‘
It no Southern man is eligible for the lie»
publican ru‘uriination upless he is an avowed
l'imancipaliouist, we should say the most cli-
gibleNorthei-n man is lie-who will be supported
by an electoral ticket in the Southern States,
or at least in many .of' them. If there be a
true Republican in the North who is sure to
receive the support of the Opposition in Mary-
land Kentucky,Virginia Missouri, Tennessee,
and North Carolina. he should be the choice
of the Republican Convention. for the fact of
his name heading an doctoral ticket in these
States would relieve the party whose nominee
he was from the charges of scctionalism, and
insure him the non-party vote in all the Free
Status. Under the conditions named, the
man, North or Soul-h,\vho possesses sufficient
popularity to win that vote. and at the same
liui ."to get his name elevated to the head of
air electoral ticket in six or eight Southern
States. and perhaps, get the electoral vote of
two or three of’ these States, is unquestionably
the most. éligible candidate of the Republican
party for the Presidency. Is there such a
man iii the nation? If'tbcre is, the trrrc lie-
publican should canvass the brilliant catalogue
off. 0 leaders of his party until he discovers
him. Let us all inquire if such a m r isto be
found, and if successful in our search, let us
sacrifice our personal preferences on the altar
of the oomnrou good. '

am- The death of David C. Broderick, by»
llre hand of David S. Terry, is in this topic of
the day. Broderick was born of Irish parents
in the city of Washington, in 1819, and was of
course about 40 years old. His father was a
stone—cutter,and worked upon the pillars of
the chamber where his son subsequently sat
as Senator from the greatPacific State. When
David was about six years old, the family
moved to New York city; and here David re-
ceived llrc comuron school education, and
served an apprenticeship to the stone cutting
trade. He became a New York fireman, and
began to make his pOWer felt in. the local
politics ; he wasa practical" politician of the
Sickles, Rankin and Brady school. He next
appears as overseer of a grogshop, bar-fender
and controller of the votes of his affiliations.
In 1816 he runs for Congress, on the Tammany
interest, birt is beaten by Tallmadge, who
managed to split all 336 votes upon a third
candidate. In 1849 Broderick went to Cali-
l‘ornia,and engaged iii the business of smelt-
ing and assaying gold. He kept up his polit-
ical connections, and was sent to the Conven-
tion which framed the Constitution of Califor-
nia, and subsequently to the State Senate. In
1853 he wrm put forward as candidate for the
U. S. Senate. and a canvass was kept up, until
in ‘56 Mr. Broderick found himself able not
only to secure his own election to the U. S.
Senate. but to dictate the terms on which his
rival, Doctor Gwyn,couldhave the short term
in the same body.
Gwyn promised in writing that in consider
ation of ’roderick’s aid, he would leave to
Broderick the entire control of the U. S. pat-
ronagc. It wasa base act. for Gwyn, and it
proved a fatal bargain for Broderick ; Gwyn,
in fact,had the ear ofBuchanan’sadministra-
tion, and Broderick was powerless, getting
riot even his fair share of influence OVer the
patronage. l1ence.a bitter quarrel ; and all
terms broken with Buchanan’s administration
open hotility on the Lccompton Constitution
light. As the California Legislature, under
their usage. were tlrisyear to elect a successor
to Broderick in the Senate, although the term
for which he was elected does not expire rrntil
1863, he went borne to California and cour-
menced an eager contest for the post; he was
beaten and fell. soured at the treachery and
disappointments he encountered; and in this
mood, accepted the challenge which David
S. Terry, one of his most persistent enemies,
forecd rrpou him. Mr. Broderick said at a
hotel table, that it was a'pily the Vigilance
Committee, who had Terry ,in their hands for
months, did not hang him, (as they thought.
of doing, and surely would have done. had a.
wcnndinflicted upon one of their number by
Terry proved fatal.) This .was reported to
Terry by l'crlcy. his former law partner and
gave Terry his only ground for forcing Brod~
click to a duel.
Teri-y was born at the South; early left an
orphan he went to Texas. and fought. for Texas
independence ; emigrated to California among
the first settlers, and having acquired some
knowledgc‘ol' law, was chosen Justice of the
Supreme Court when but 3‘3 years old. Like
lroderick he is a cool. bold, determined fel-
low, and Would give Broderick no chance to
escape, but demanded either an abject apolo-
gy, or a deadly light with six shooting revoL
