ag- The Columbian Fountain has nearly, il not
quite wide circulation in this city any other
paper published here; we believe its circulation
among the citizens themselves is wider than any 9TH
er city paper. Advertisers would do well to keep
this in mind.


Mr. JOHN f.. BARNARD, the agent for the District,
will promptly attend to all business connected with
the paper Advertisements, &c, will also reach ms
safely II handed to the Carriers or placed in box
at Mr. SToTr's Drug Store.


THE GREAT NATIONAL FAIR.


This grand exhibition, which attracted, for
many days together, SO many OF the most DIS,
tinguished men Of the land to our city, ana
afforded the highest qualification TO every
American cilizen that visited it, is now closed;
but the scene which it presented, and the en-
ioyment i, afforded, will not soon be forgotten.
We pretend not to express an opinion as to
the question which is now so largely discussed
in the political papers. Like every thing else,
the Fair had its friends and its foes: some
think it was necessary and useful: others
viewed ii as work Of supererogation, which
failed to effect any beneficial purpose.


Those who expressed desire to possess
themselves of articles which were there ex-
posed, will have an opportunity to do so to-
day, as public sale Of the same is TO take
place, at the magnificent building, which will
look rather strangely when the costly array Of
goods is removed from it. The city, too, will
be desolate, compared with its condition for
several weeks past, during which time it has
been so thronged with yisiters from. all parts
of the country, the most of whom, as far as
we know, went away delighted with their Wis
it to the Metropolis


THE BALTIMORE PATRIOT.


We feel it our duty to say, in reference to-
this large, well-conducted, and very respect
able journal, that its friendliness manifested
towards US shall not be forgotten. We per-
ceiye that it is a steady advocate of the doc
trine, 1T is good to help the weak" Some
of the large journals Of the day to whom we
have sent the Fountain have not even deign-
ed to treat us with commsn courtesy, and do
not deserve, no matter what they profess, the
support they receive; for there can be no
reasonable excuse for failure to be just. We
commend TO such the noble example Of the
Pauiot--a paper which, though it can have
no interested motive further than TO be kind
and act honorably-has not only given our
humble sheet an exchange, but treated US
with thatEespect due at least to the cause we
advocate. We do not pretend to affirm that
every paper is bound to exchange with us;
but we do say, common courtesy requires
them, if they do not, to present us with some
good reason why they refuse and in all cases
where such information is not given, we. feel
free TO construe the neglect into an opposition
TO the virtuous course we are at least aiming
10 pursue; and such a course should COM
mend itself to every man of intelligence.
