Wing concern So fa- as the political principles
OF the tens of thousands OF farmers who ATTENDED
It could lend political complexion to its proceed
ings, we have not the slightest doubt that such
was the fact but while the Eagle attempts to
show that the Far was got up expressly TO make
Wing capital, it should recollect that james 8
Wadsworth, ESQ, the President Of the Society,
who did far more than any other man to maze
arrangements for the Fair, and who presided over
al It's parts, is a violent Loco Foco and close
political friend of Mr.. Van Buren, and that MS
opening speech at the great supper was fleo
with the standard Loco-Foco abuse OF paper
currency, of the existing Tariff. and mputations
upon the motives Of those Wings by whom II
was framed. He accordingly made the first at
tempt to give a political complexion to the pro-
ceedings at the Fair ;-thatit was not thoroughly
Loco Foco concern was no fault or merit, Of
his What irritates these Loco Foco Editors Is
tine palpabe fact, made still more evident by this
magnificent exhibition, that the great farming
interests Of the country are Overwhelmingly IN
favor of Projection TO AMERICAN LAnoR, and OF
the Wing party as the only party by which that
Protection can be secured.


CouRTEslEs.-GovernorS SEWARD was the only
gentleman, so far as our knowledge eytends,who
paid anything more than the most ordinary at
terltions to N1essrs Van buren, ard BoucK, on
their recent visit to Rochester With his accus-
toned courtesy, he waited on them as they pass
ed through Auburn, invited them to his
beautiful residence, and paid them marked atten-
tons during their stay in Rochester. We OBJ
served that he came upon the ground on Thurs
dav afternoon in the same carriage with them.
Such courtesies to political opponents are as non
orable to those who pay them, and as they must
be grateful 70 those by whom they are received.


Terrible TEMPEST IN FLoRrDA.-1he tremcn-
dous tempest in Florida, of which We published

laid fiat with single exception, nearly every
dwelling was thrown from It's toIndation' many
Of them were crushed to atoms, and the loss OF
property was immense. Attic Lighthouse every
binding but that was DESTROYED; fourteen per-
sons. some of them among the most valuable cit-
zens were known TO have been drowned. So far

WREcK.-A slip from the Office Of the Norfolk
Herald announces that the brig William Taylor,
Capt. Hoev, from this city, went ashore on the
cutter reef of Boddy's Island on the night of the
Doth. One of the passengers, MIR. Charles Orth,
of this city, aged 27 years, was drowned. Her

TRIAL FOR MuRDER-We have received from
a correspondent full report OF the first days
proceedings on the trial in Hudson County, NJ
OF John Graham ana Joseph Lamar for the mur-
der OF man named Casey, at Harsmus, on the
9th of August, but the case is not OF sufficient
general interest to warrant its publication. The
testimony of the witnesses already examined, of
.Mhom the daughter of the deceased, make it
probable that the two prisoners became engaged
in quarrel with one Crawford who lived opposite
to Casey's house. Casey came 10 his assistance
and was assailed by the prisoners with club and
so badly beaten that he died a dav or two after
The testimony thus faris circumstantal.


u The alarm of fire yesterday afternoon pro-
ceeded from an old wood building at the corner
of Cross and Mulberry streets, owned by E. Val.
ent!ne, and occupied by James Miller, druggist !;
Mr.. Cavino, grocer; Mr.. Ider porter-house, and
some ten or a dozen poor families. The roof of
tne ptilidng was ournl OH ana tne occupants,
with the exception Of MIR. Miller, were all suffer
ers, their goods being either damaged by fire or
water. We understand the building was insured.


II We regret to learn that the recovery Of
Rev. DR.. BRowsLEE of this city, who was attacked
by sudden stroke Of paralysis in the street at
Ncwburgh, is extremely doubtful. AT the latest
adyices the worst apprehensions were entertained
BY his medical attendant. His death would be
sensibly felt, especially by the religious denomna-
ton OF which he has been so active and efficient
a member.
