NEW YORK HERALD. New-York, Monday, September 25, 1843. wg Mr. L. Willard is our only authorized agent for of the Herald in Troy, N. Y. All persons wish- he paper in that city will apply only to him, at 230 the Lirenatone.—The following books have been y published, and are for sale at this office :—The Banker's Wife, by Mra. Gore ; Mabel, the Actress, or the 5 Mkcit Love ; The Churchman Warned Against Errors of the Time, by Dr. Anihon; and the third part of Martia Chuzzlewit, by Dickens. Also, Grahem's and Codey’s Ladies’ Books for October. Wiest Van Buren Move—Great Assemblage of Office Holders and Office Seckers—Cab- bages on the rise. £ The Calhoun portion of the Democratic parties 6f this city have had their gatherings and junket- ings, and have blown off their gas and indignation, at several meetings in the Park, and we have to- day, by way of variety to the campaign, the assem- bling of the friends of Mr. Van Buren, who meet in the Park at6o’clock. The ‘call,’ as it is called, and as itis published in one of the party organs, presents some amusing features to us, who stand as truthful reflectors of all that appears on these excit- ing occasions. The palmy days of “old mother bank” appear to have been brought in the mind’s eye of the “getters up” of this exhibition of feeling for Van Buren, as the haste in the interests of those concerned, in procuring signatures, must have prompted daguerreotype impressions from many a tomb-stone, and double signatures from many a “friend to the cause.” oBut in political warfare, this is all to be excused--‘‘all is fair in politics,” and there- fore to humbug and be humbugged is the order of the day. Among these signatures we find the names ot John Tyler, Richard M. Johnson, and five of the Drake family, all in a row, the latter perhaps being the old Drake and his Ducklings. Then comes Mordecai Manassah Noah, whose autograph 1s twice recorded, and five of the Childs family, from the senior down to the junior, followed by candi- dates for State senator, sheriff, coroner, county clerk, assembly, aldermen, &c., and then, such a string of watchmen, street sweepers, police officers, lamp lighters, bell ringers, coal weighers, ballast masters, wood inspectors, charcoal measurers, street carters, health wardens, and other attachés, hangers on, expectants and drummers up of the city corporation, was never seen in such a gather- ing—the names of men who have never signed, and the names of those who were never seen, are spat- tcred through the call, and thus is the list swollen to the tune of thousands. Notwithstanding all this, if the day is fine, there will be a large meeting—an uncommon gathering, and much enthusiasm. Mr. Van Buren is, without doubt, the first favorite of a large majority of his party in his native State, and were it not so, it would be a strange political anomaly, and State pride would certainly be at zero. We see, however, in this movement, something that indicates future trouble to the democratic party ofjthis city, and notwithstanding theVanjBuren lead- ers have thus boldly bluffed the present game, yet in the first all-four set to come off, they may get most terribly mistaken. Our readers are mostly aware that atthe ensuing November election, there area State Senator, a Snerifi, County Clerk, Coro- ner and thirteen Members of Assembly to be cho- sen, and they may also be aware that on Thursday of this week, the democratic party of this city meet in their several wards to elect delegates to Tammany Hall, who are to nominate candidates for the above named offices. This call fora Van Buren meeting appears to have been made a few days in advance of these primary assemblages, in order to bring all candidates for office, this fall,to unite in his support or trustto the consequences of such opposition. ‘This is a bold move on the part of the friends of Mr. Van Koren, and if successful, will be a great point in the Presidential game; but if such a position should prompt those of the party who have other pre- ferences for the presidential chair, to bolt the course, and nominate another county ticket, » result might be a total defeat of the whole, and " rhig candidates become successful, which .ake a strong point on the other side of the This is avery probable result, as the radi- a of the democracy of this city, and three- r : the Irish population, prefer either Cal- hown or Cass for the Presidency; and if these men © be told and shown by the nominations that emanate from Tammany Hall this fall, that none but friends of Van Buren are to be entitled to ele, vation to office, they will very naturally turn round to find some revenge for such defeat. The old band of party organization, that formerly induced men to blindly go the whole ticket, has become much relaxed of late, and nought bat a nomina- tion of men of good character, ability, and well known business and honesty, will now obtain a complete party vote from either side in politics. The Ward meetings will be largely attend- ed, and great excitement and much rowdyism will be the natural result. One thing should be done however, and as the Van Buren press of this city, during the recent Syracuse Convention, loudly ad- vocated the principle, they certainly should do so now. We mean that the delegates at Tammany Hall should vote viva voce, in the selection of candi- dates for the several offices. The whig party of this city adopts this method,and certainly the demo- cratic, claiming to be so exclusive, should follow such a truly democratic mode of nomination. The meeting to-day will be of little interest com- pared to the assemblages in the several wards on Thursday, but whatever is of public importance will be found daguerreotyped as usual in to-morrow’s Herald. Tae State AcricuuturaL Farr.—Our columns to-day are crowded with reports from the State Agricultural Fair, and they are of a deeply interest- ing character, and justify the use of all the space that we have devoted to them. We recommend a thorough perusal of alithe matter we now publish, and of all that will succeed on a subject which is che foundation ef national prosperity, and the safe guard of national well-being. are Movements.—The Hon. David Henshaw, Secre- tary of the Navy,the Hon. Walter Forward, late Secretary of the Treasury, and Col. Richard M Johnson, arrived in Washington Jast Tuesday evening. Major General Scott arrived there cn Thursday last from a short tour of inspection to the harbor defences of the eastern sea-board. Colonel Johason will be in New York early next month. Tue Evection or A Memper ror Quenec.—This election, which, for all we can learn, has termi- nated in the choice of Jean Chabot, advocate of that city, depended merely on a sufficient nomina- ton, no second candidate appearing on the hustings to contest his election. The election is represented by the Mercury as not one of unanimity. It had been actually in contemplation to propose Louis Joseph Papineau, but there was a difficulty in ar- ranging the mode of establishing his qualification, MMER IN Fa’ The weather yesterday was decidedly hot. Were it not for the almanac, none would know it was the 25th of September Gneat Mitrrany Review. —Kight regiments,num- bering in all about five thousand men, are wo be re- viewed in Hartford on the 4th and 5th proximo. This force is under the command of Brig Owen; Maj. Gen. Pratt will review it. Itis ¢ Xpect- ed that Col Johnson, of Kentucky, will be present, as the 4th isthe anniversary of the battle of the Thame: Gen Rovere in tue Marine Corrs.—It matters not whether Colonel Freeman or Serge —_ Collier made the charges against Colonel Henderson. The charges were made, and, if proved, either Colonel Hender- son's pay ought to be increased, or he be compelled to work his farm himself, and not force United States marines to doit for him. Men enlist to serve in a nilitary cay abe fficere acity, and not t the barn-yards Posracxs —The reducti . general retorm in the system of the department, isa matter of the highest importance, more especially now that the currency of the country has been re- duced to a specie Jevel, and business is about to re- vive on the system of cash business and small pro- fits. Postages are an important item in exchange operations, and should be brought down to the low. est point, to assist business as well as to confer upon that large proportion of the community who caanot bear much expense, the privilege of constant cor- respondence with their absent friends. The Hart- fort paper suggests, ia copying our remarks recently made upon this subjeet, that the rate should be five cents for a single letter to any part of the Union, however distant ; that no extra charge should be made for increased distance of transportation. There is much truth in this. When mail routes are established, itis no more expense to carry the Jetter one thousand than five hundred miles, and a brother or other relation at New Orleans should be able to communicate with his family as cheaply as if he were only at Washington. It has been found to be true in England, that under the cheap system indi- viduals pay actually more money to the government than under the old, but then they send many more letters. It is an every day expression, ‘‘ be sure you write to us, the postage is but a penny, you know.” Instead of being obliged to pay out money every time a letter is sent, a box of stamps is purchased, like a box of wafers, and merely affixing one or more to the letter discharges the postage. This greatly promotes writing, and of course friend- liness, and gradually draws out and strengthens those social feelings without which people are but little better than barbarians. How many friendships have been dropped, how many family ties broken, how many tender feelings nipped in the bud, because necessity separates parties who cannot bear the expense of a correspondence. Ifa government cannot remedy these things, of what use isa government?) Why do we have statesmen but that they are eupposed to enhance the happiness of the people? In a business and social point of view, there is none which is susceptible of so great a reform as our “ prohibitive” post office system. If allletters were charged five cents only, a great reduction in the burden of the mail would take place, and an increase in the revenue. Let every man think how many times he has senta letter en- veloped in a newspaper, through the office, to save the postage; then let him calculate how many do the same. He can then calculate on these data. An ordinary newspaper, dry, weighs 2 oz., and with his letter weighed 23 o0z.; for carrying which the post office received 1} cents. If the rate of pos- tage had been five cents, the mail would have car- ried joz. for 5 cents, instead of 2joz. for 14 cents, Yet the department complains that it cannot re- duce rates, because the mails are heavy and the re- ceiptslight. The remedy is cheap rates. News rrom Yucaran.—The Virginie Antoinette at New Orleans, from Campeachy, brings sews from Merida to the 2d instant, of which we give the most important items. Don Geronimo del Castillo, the Yucatan envoy, who had suddenly returned from Mexico, has set off for that capital, furnished with new powers. The legislature, the members of which were late- ly elected, assembled on the 3ist ult. and organized by respectively choosing their presidents, vice pre- sidents, and other officers. On the Ist instant, Don C. Miguel Barchanos, governor pro tempore, delivered a message on the meeting of the two houses, in which he gave a his- tory of late events, and the measures adopted to re- pel the invasion of the Mexicans. By adecree dated the 2d of August, a former decree, fixing the price of Indian corn, is repealed, and it abolishes the duty to which corn was subject- ed in the interior. Navat.—Orders have been received, at Boston, to get the frigate Potomac, and the brig Consort rea. dy for sea. U. S. brig Apprentice, arrived at Hallowell, Au- gust 20th. Steam Sur Hipernia from Boston and Halifax, for Liverpool, was spoken 7h inst., in lat. 48 44, lon. 39 50. AporicinaL Recatra.—We are to have some sport this season—some real aboriginal sport. The Chippewa chiefs, with one of their princesses, are to paddle.a canoe against the crack club boat Thomas Jefferson, on Wednesday afternoon next, at the Ely- sian Fields, Hoboken, the latter to be rowed by the Lualows, for a purse of $200. The Philadelphia boatmen, a gallant set of fellows, let the Indians beat, because the squaw beat their coxwain in steering. We shall see if she will get ahead by the same means on this occasior. Niwto’s.—This evening the Ravels give a more than the usually attractive programme, comprising all that distinguishes the Ravels from all other pan- tomimists. The Bedowin Arabs, a most vigorously executed entertainment, is now so well known to the public, as to require but a statement of the fact, that it is to be once more seen at the garden this evening. La Yota Aragonaisa will be danced by the talented Gabriel Ravel, Mons. Martin, Mesdames Leon Javelli and Martin Javelli. The pantomime of the 55 Mbsortwnes of Fortwnatus concludes the entertainment. With sucha bill, the garden must be filled to its utmost capacity. We had nearly forgotten that Charles Winther, and his sister, dance the Tight Rope. Tue Crrcus.—No company, since the days of Pippin and Richard, has caused such a general sen- sation as the troupe now performing at the Bowery Amphitheatre. The house is each evening literal: ly crowded from pit to dome with the fashion, the gaiety and the respectability of the city. Strangers make it their general resort, and citizens find it the most agreeable place of amusement now open. In addition to the splendid scenes given in the circle by some of the finest horsemen in the country, there 18 a fund of amusement in the never-tiring jokes of the clown Gossin; and a delightful relief to the per- tormances by one of the most eplendid bands of mu. sic to be found any where. This evening Mr. Can- field, the champion of America, will display his pro- digeous muscular power ; Mr. Carrol, the splendid horseman and vaulter, Mrs. Goesin, Mr. Sweet, Master Henry, Mr. Harvey, and other performers of eminent talent, will display their skill. &g- We indite this paragraph for the purpose of calling attention to the benefit of Yankee Hill, which is announced to take place at the Chatham Theatre this evening 1 the single mention of the name be not sufficient, take a glance at the extra- ordinary bill presented for the occasion, and then prepare to secure a seat early. There will of course be a jam. OG» An advertisement appears in our columns, which announces some changes in the mode of doing business atthe All Nations Hotel, to which we are desired to call attention. Inrer.iceNce rrom Russia.—Information has been officially received from St. Petersburg,that the Emperor has sanctioned the permission for the con- tinuance of trade between Kamtschatka and foreign countries, free from duties, agreeably to the remte- tions of August 6, 1828, until August 6, 1845; the Governor of Kamtschatka being, however, charged on his personal responsibility, to see that no foreign spirituous liquors be introduced into that province, ’xcept for the use of the officers of the navy, or the public functionaries. A cireular has been addressed to all the Ministers nations, to the effect that the Emperor has determined not to receive any presents ot lite- rary productions, works of #rt, specimens of natural history, &e. for himself or any members of his family, unless they be presented through the medium of some foreign embassy. The Russian Ministers in foreign countries have all been specially directed not to take upon themselves to forward any such articles, without the express permission of the gov- ernment; and all persons who 4 make use o/ other means to send them to the Emperor or any member of his family, or any of his Ministers of State, will have no one to blame but themselves for the inconveniences which may be the consequence ion of postages, and a ‘The Great State Agricultural Fair. (Cc rrespondenee of the By Rocuxstxa, Thursday, Bept. 21, 1943. Distinguished Visitors—The Mechanics’ Fair—Airy Sleep- ing Apartments of the Visitors—Ploughing Match, Sc. To THe Eprton oy tue Henaty :— Governor Seward is among us; and the more distin- Suisned lions now at the Eagle are Mr. Van Buren, Gov. Bouck, Gov. Seward, Dr. Beekman, Judge Sutherland, Mr. Strong, the Tyler Collect r of the port below, and Mr. Coleman of the Astor, with 20,000 of the yeomanry. At eight A. M. the Eagle is thronged with persons wait ing for the Ex-President and company, or for breakfast. They may lose the latter, ten to one, but Mr. Van Buren and Co., the big bugs,” as the farmers call them, cannot escape. Dropped in (per polite invitation of the President and officers of the institution,) at the Mechanics’ Fair this morning. Two long rooms, forming the two sides ofa square, are elegantly fitted up for the exhibition, in which five hundred specimens of the American art,a great many contributed by the ladies, the work of their fair hands, are to be seen. Mr. Clapp of Auburn, has an exquisite buggy, of the tip of theton, on the spot. A large variety of the finest edge-tools, (manufactured at home or abroad,) from the factory of D. R. Barton, of Rochester, are wor- thy the special attention of mechanics. When Mr. Van Buren and Gov. Bouck visited the Fair yesterday, I have been informed by Mr. Moore, the Secretary, thac Mr. Barton gave each of thoso distinguished farmers a speci- men elaw-hammer of his manufacture, with which they were much delighted. Such an implement is indispen- sable to a farmer, in fastening up the loose boards of his gates and fences. There are one hundred and forty-six varieties of worsted work in the hall of exhibition, every variety of mechanic’s tools, iancy articles, &c. In a series of side-rooms are the armories of the volunteer mi litary of the city, hung round with uniforms, prints and engravings, with the muskets stacked in the centre. Among the pictures exhibited, there are i by Mc. Kimbell and others, ef Rochester, and a Nein of his, Autumn in the to the best of the executions and conceptions of Doughty. Among the pictures exhibited, ure the Rey Mr. Holland’s collection of the antique, to wit: the Roman Daughter, who, to sustain her father’s life, who is starving in prison, tenders him the milk of her own veins, which is the chief of these: it glorious old relic, indeed, supposed to be by Curracei of the 17th century. A group, of poultry, a vase of flowers, and Christ bouad, (which is very heavy and defective, notwithstanding the glorying and cracked pearance of the canvass,so indicative of venerableness,) are the others. The receipts at the Fair for the firsttwo days amount to $1200, und at least $600 will be taken in today, for the throng is unceasing and ever-changing, day and night. Tickets twenty-five cents. Receipts ap- propriated to the Apprentices’ Library. Premiums awarded to-day and to-morrow. nN George H. Munday lectures to-night on “ Rum ! Ruin ! and Rags!” The Pupils of the New York lus were the subject of a public ex’ Church, last night. : ‘The Orphan’s Fair is still doing a heavy business in jim cracks—Admittance free. Had occasion to go to the postoflice this morning at four o'clock. Men were sleeping in their open wagons—the bar-rooms of the hotels were filled with groups of sitting sleepers—every housefwasfull,and numbers found shelter in the piles of Wheat in the mills, and on the plank heaps inthe saw mills. Some paraded the streets all night, as thousands are doing allday. Great gathering—* great country, this—great country The Agricultural Association accomplished their Laat hing match to-day, The site was two fields of Mr. . Pilkin, two miles eastof the city. The fields were of six and eight acres of meadow land. The trial opened at 1o’clock; 17 ploughs eutered for the four premiums of $16, $10, $5, and acopy of the Transactions of the State Society; each competitor Leing required to plough one quarter of an acre of sward in 75 minutes, furrows not to be less than twelve inches wide and six dee ploughman tedrive his team. There were eight ploughs in the upper field and nine in the lower ene—several enters aiterwards. Five thousand people were on the greun Mr. Van Buren, Governor Bouck, and General Gould, sat at the end of the upper or north field, on the beard fence, in the shade of a maple tree, telling ‘snake stories. Their position was the fashionabte part of the ground. Mr. Webster, under the convoy of Mr. Coleman of the “Astor,” reconnoitered the lower fiela—Mr. Webster eat ing aa indifterent peach, and Mr. Coleman smoking an indifferent losking segar—both very different looking men, however. Governor Seward, Messrs. Granger, Sutherland, and Dr. Beekman, were all said to have been onthe ground. When Mr. Van Buren and suite arrived at the field, there was such a press of carriages that his progress was arrested. But he dismounted, sprang over a fence higher than his head, scoured with a swarm around him, over the field, and returned to his seat under the maples, ‘nen upon the sharp fence, and resting there with all the zest of atired pleughboy. There was a handbill circulated this afternoon that the annual address would not be delivered in the depot ai published, but upon the show ground; and that the Hon Daniel Webster would speak to the people. Thirty- three hundred and thirty-three carriages of all sorts were put into immediate requisition ; be aa oy oe were in half an hour gathered round the stond. At halfpast two Dr. J.P. Beeekman delivered the annual address, brief, smoothly written, smoothly and very appropriate to the occasion. When he was seated, there was a unani mous demand for Webster. President Wadsworth an- nounced that Mr. Webster would be with us in twenty minutes, and suggested thet the eommittees tition for the Biind ition at the Bethel rroceed to the reading| of the premiums awarded. ‘This was a damper to the ladies, for they had come tohear Mr Web- ster, and not afew either; and instead, they were doomed to listen to reports on Durham and Derbyshire bulls, the best modes of crossing, of breeding cows and heifers, brood mares and stud horses, while several Durham bulls and blooded stallions were paraded within view all the while. These reporta were for some time proceeded in, when the congregated farmers, Seen | it an invi- dious business, and exceedingly dull, called for Webster with redoubled energy. The president announced that he had just received a message from Mr. Webster that he had been suddenly taken ill, and was now so seriously in dispesed as to be unable to get out of bed. Determined to have aspeech, Gov. Seward became the watchword, with occasional cries of ‘Van Buren,” ‘ Bouck,” “Granger.” Gov. Seward at length arose, but the mail closes; suffice it to say, that he made a speech, of which you shal] hear next mail. The committees continued their reports till near six, when they were dispersed by arising thunder storm, which has turned out a pleasant shower. Truly, SIMON BARJONAH. P. S.—Mr. Webster has taken private lodgings. Gov. Seward lost his dinner at the Engle by being crowded out. Mr. Van Buren wasthere.

But who is to receive the prize had not transpired when this para graph was written. From all we learn of this great Fair, it would appear (o be unpurallelled in the interest which it has created. ‘The unexpected thousands who hurried thither. whom are of our most distinguished i who likewise delight in ogricultural pursuite—choked up every spot of the city of Roc erlors even carts and planks, inthe open air, being resorted to as-sleeping couches for the nights.

(Cries of who is he ? who ishe? Mr. Granger answered, Abner Barlow, and then three hearty cheers were given for Mr. Barlow by the vast multitude.)

What is the bistoryof Western New York? itis but as yesterday when it was one vast un- broken forest, When the revolution was over, Yan- kee industry, and Yankee perseverence, would no longer consent to be bound down to the iron coat of New England, or even the high hills of Vermont. ‘They sought a milder country which would give a better return te the industry of moi—where they could push sooner the advancement of life, and secure earlier its ele. gancies—the enjoyments of clvilization—a broader field for their energies. What has Western New York done ? Even in my short day, and short it is, though I am getting a little in the gray of the evening—even in my short day this city of Rochester was not even a village! When | moved inte Western New York, this splendid town, which presents now all the arts of polished life, was a spot where the stage proprietor would not even deign to change horses; he only watered and wenton. It is now © city which packs more flour than any other in the world! I repeat it—than any other inthe world. I have heard this contradicted, but facts and figures will muke manifest its truth, and to them T sppeel. It has been asked where are the pioneers of Western New York ? The grave has closed over most of them, but there are many still living among us to give to their children en- couragement and advice—to tell them ‘be sure they are right—then go ahead.” I have taken by the hand many man to day who thought an eminent land proprietor mad when he told them that the time would come in their and his day, when the stage would go twice a week from Canandaigua to Alban’ and yet the little train in which I came over today had only eleven hundred! Such is Western New York! its progress and history have solved the doubt which many entertained whether it was not a problem whether there was suflicient energy in arepublican goverment to push forward and hold up and force forward towns and seitlements. What Roehes- ter has done, others in our land also have—Cincinnati in Ohio is a town larger than that famed Odessa, which the whole power of Russia for fifty years has been building up. But | must close. When I arose I only intended to speak ten words, but I thought I must say one thing in answer to the reference to Western New York. I will say, if there bea man om earth who, when he sinks to the grave, can do so with thoughts of happiness, it must be the pioneer of Western New York, he who has lived to see through those fruitful fields where once was the roam of the savage, yonder train pursue its arrowy flight. Mr. President, I offer you, The Pioneers of Western New York—They descended from Pisgah to enjoy the promised land. Mr. Webster was then announced, and appeared amid the cheers of the multitude :— Mr. W. said he had made a rapid journey of 500 miles for the pleasure of meeting here the farmers of the great State of New York. He had just been discharged from the cars. He found the society assembled, and at the request of a committee, he came to offer the congratula- tions of Ea farmer of New England to the farmers of Western New York. Having availed himself of all the opportunities that offered themselves, he had acquired some knowledge of the cultivation of the mother earth ; and he had attempted to make up by applieation what he could not by study. Agriculture is the first step in the civilization of man. Man began to be civilized when he could restrain his wanderings and migrations, and apply himselfto the arts of industry. It is, he said, your good fortune to enjoy a rich soil, and every other oppor tunity to enjoy the richest ‘blessings of the class to which we belong. He could wish to go into this subject to-night ; but his fatigue would not enable him to do se. Captain Jov consider Agriculture the great source from which all other things derive their existence. I look upon it es the great lever by which all the pursuits of the human fomily are raised up and put in motion — Another reason is, love to mingle with the hard handed sunburnt tillers of the ground, But what gave this par- ticular exhibition the greatest attraction to me was its location in Western New York. To mea cherished name. I say this, among other things, because it was formerly my home for 30 years, notwithstanding I begin to be called an old settler in the city of Albany. But, gentle- men, I should still feel as though I might come under the head of the stray to which I have alluded, were it not that I could say to you that I was among the early Pio- neers of Western New York—was it not that I could tell you I had there for seven years swung the axe, the rail maul, the handspike and the threshing flail—and hel; with my own hands to convert its sturdy forests into for- tile fields ; andthere became perfectly familiar with the log cabins which constituted the abodes of the first set tlers, and whose rude roofs so sae | protected us from the pattering rains of summer, and the more pelting storms of winter—and were it not alse, I could say to you that when I helped to gather the first piece of corn which our family raised in Western New York, such was my sense of the necessity ot food to subsist upon, that when I husked those bright and yellow ears, they looked richer to me than bars of gold. Having seen and done these things, [lay them before you as my apology ; and if I ever forge’ them, or if ever I possess too much pride to allude to these humble circumstances, may my name be blotted from the records of society. I have said, Mr. Pre- eident and gentlemen, that [ wax among the early pioneers of Western New York. Although my head has been exposed to almost sixty summer suns,and as many wintry frosts,yet 1 will mot say | was among the earliest pioneers, but1 believe} shall be borne out in saying I was among the early ones, when | tell you that I came into Western New York at so early a period, that there was then no county in the State west of the county of Ontario; and although that county then contained all the territory now embraced in her D yy cad bounds, and also.all that which is now comprised in the counties of Yates, Wayne, Monroe, Orleans, Niagera, Erie, Genesee, Wyoming, Livingston, Allegany, Cattaraugus and Chaatanque—al, though, I say, it embraced this.vast territory, it numbered only 19 tow: ae The same territory now contains 21S townships. What the exact population of all this vast region was at that time I cannot exactly say, as the present practiceof taking the census did not then exist. But I know ! am safe in saying that the entire white po. pulation west of the Ge: e river at that day was less than sixty. Another thing I know, that on the fall of 1801, nearly two years alter 1 came into the country, an official census w: ken of al! the voters there was in the entire territory I have mentioned, and after hunting up all that could be found, including the three classes a8 the law then was, 100 pound voters, 40 pound and 40 shilling voters, and, after putting them all together, they footed up exactly 2836. I do not remenber how many voters there are now in the same ter- ritory, but the white population is rising of five hundred thousand. About 360,000 of which are west of the Genesee river, where there was less than sixty when I first cameintothe country. I bavessid, Mr. President and gentlemen, that Western New York was tome a cherished name. It is so. And IJ feelthat 1 should be wanting in filial affection if I should fail to acknowledge it. It was in Western New York that | matured to man- hood; it was there that I not only labored, but I partook of thejolly gatherings around the sugar ketiles in’ the sap- bushes of the forest—at the raising of the log houses, and in many and various convivial frolics. It was in one of those rude structures in Western New York, that I mar- ried the wife of my youth—she who is the mother of my sons and daughters—she who has shared in my cares and in my toils, in my prosperity, and in my adversity. It was Western New York that gave bitth te all my children— and there too a het f of them still reside. And it is the elods of the valley of Western New York, that cover the bones of my father and my mother. Peace to their ashes —I say again Western New York—a cherished name. After some observations on the difference between a newspaper of 1782 and of 1843, h ceded to notice the changes made in the mode and rate oft yokes 4 said we used to send passengers, and carry the mail, the way from hpi ed (not Alt Utica in two days; and the third dey we clear up toRome. And there the line ended. I suppose weused to dump youoff there into Wood Creek or the Rome Swamp. At all events we did not think it worth while to run stages any fur her west,because we had been credibly informed that all the land there was west of Rome, was one entire swamp, and therefore not worth settling. The first day we sent you to Roff’s tavern at Canajoharie. Iremember the old Dutch house perfectly well. It was a good tavern too. The next day we sent you to Clark's and House's taverns at Utica. I suppose y this that it took two Utica taverns at that day to ac. cominodate one stag Ifthe advertisement had read to Clarks and Houses’ tavern (instead of taverns) then I should have supposed that it took two men to keep one tavern—and one ee. had to stand sentinel to keep the wolves off, while the other entertained his guests,— But be that as it may, I did rot come up in this stage — The power which gave me locomotion, was that which I stand on now. I came more like the two young men I remember in carly days who came from down country into We:tern New York, their whole stock in trade con- sisting of each an axe on his shoulder; but they plunged into the forest, got some good jobs, paid for their lend, and soon became the most thriving men in town.— 1am afraid, gentlemen, that all 1 have said may be con: sidered ‘ather small talk fora g tate Agricultu- ralcelebration, but you must consi y of small things. which Lhave been speal And it is (rom these 5: oor or begionings that the cattle upon “ your thousand hills,” and the grass in your valleys, and {he grain upon your broad plains have been And I now rejoice with you, and with those who do rejoice, that this day of small. things hos brought about a day of great things, and that agriculture has pro- «ressed with such rapid strides, that you can now “sit down under your own vine, and under your own fig tree, with none to molest or make you afraid.” And if a man of my pursuits may speak in recommendatory terms on the subject of agriculture, I shouid here say that it ought to be made one ofthe great anniversary festivals of the nation. 1 would commend its adoption in every town inthe land, I would appoint some specific day in th after the ingathering of the summer harvests, to be designated as a day of Agricultural Jubilee. 1 would moke it one of the great popular holydays of the Nel Ay where the plonghmen and the axemen, the matrons ofthe household, and the dairy maids of the cheese root should meet together in sports and plays in commemo rating the return of these seasons of bounty; and I would perpetuate these joyful events, as long aa seed time and harvest should be extended to mankind. I would inj thie Way make the pursuit of agriculture what it ought to be, one ofthe most popular and desirable pursuits in thr world. Mr. President, having paid my respects to Al bany, J again return to Western New York; and when | reflect upon the great and wonderful change this coun A has undergone within my own personal observation— all of which has been achieved by the product of agri culture—I am almost compelled to refer to some written or printed documents of times that are passed, to make me believe my own eyes, For canit be that I have seen this western country while it was yet a trackless wilderness —and then seen its forests dotted all over with log cabins whose ascending smoke gave the only evider location—ond now behold it, o'erspread w fields, teeming with the mort li ail over with elegant farm hous hay, seen it studded with ng spires give evidanas | h waving riant harvests, covers and splendid mansions, i villages, whose tower wa beholder that the Inhabi- tants are a people who ‘worship the God of Heav. and ve thanks to who moistens the Ww re showers, and tempers the winds to shorn jambs. Can it be moreover, that I have once seen all the trade and commerce of western New York carried on b; horse teams, before a canal had been thought of? L would h irdly beli it, if 1 had not had the honor of pig | six noble chi rs belore one of those big wag- , fer more than three years, in doing this very thing ; it having done that, and then afterwards having dipped up the waters of Erie with my own hands, and in company with the noblest ‘imen oi the human kind, the immor tal Clinton, conveyed them tothe Atlantic Ocean in the that ever passed from the Lakes te the tidewater, I am constrained to admit that it is all matter of fact. d now when I contrast the present with the past, end reflect that in addition to this grand canal, on iron road bas been constructed along its margin, which re- the towering mouatains, the lofty hill eys, conveys the travelier, as it hos me at from Albany to Rochester, as it were by the thi is time, sunlight of a September day—1 cannot but fcel that I have interestit lived in a most ‘and ing period. And if it is not outof place to quote the inspired writingson such an occasion as this, | would fexalsien, as did Simeon of old, and thank God that I have not only been allowed to hear of these things by the hearing of the ear, but mine eyes have beheld them. De. Beexmay, who delivered the annual address on Thursday, gave an interesting history of the rise and progress of the late Agricultural Society, which was commenced in 1832. The frst fair was held in 1634, and they were continued annually with varied success untiltwo years ago, when they determined to give more scope to their operations. The result has been more than the most sanguine could have expected. Of the advan tage of these fairs, he said, speaking of the fair held two ears ago.) We saw there congregated the choicest col- lection of animals, brought from the most distant parts of the State—a large assortment of the varied farm imple- mements, made after the most improved models, and with excellent skill, together with a great variety of ar- ticles, the product of the work shops, and evidences of the ability of the manufacturer. To the best of these, seve- ral specimens, table premiums were awarded, and I the gratification witnessed a that day, in the thou- sands there assembled, has not ™.en suffered to lose its influence in awakening this western community to the Great benefits that must result from this most laudable competition. What can be more gratifying to the farmer, than an exhibition of the best specimens of all the differ+ ent animals necessary to him in the profitable cultiva- tion of his farm?—the voried farm implements made with consummate skill—the manufacture of a thousand arti- cles, beautiful in thems » but more beautiful collec- tively, and intended for his use or his enjoyment? These are sons to him full of instruction, for he sees perfec- tion as far a8 human ingenuity has reached, and he profits by the lesson, When at home he looks upon his own as almost perfect, but here he is astonished tiat his humble efforts full so far short of what he sees before him, and if he is a man of sense and reflection, he determines to carry home with him a new stock of ideas thus gained, and en- graft them upon his own zy adopting the improvements everywhere manifest. The man who cannot profit by these lessons is either very stupid or very conceited, and in either case is a bad specimen of the American charec- ter. Subsequently he made the following observations :— The American motto is industry. Lapor is honorable— [dleness is dishonorable ; and J care not whether it is the labor of the head or the hands, for they mutually aid each other. The laboring men of this country are vast in num. ber, and respectable in eharacter. We owe to them,under Providence, the most gladsome spectacle the sun beholds in its course—a land of cultivated and fertile fields— an ocean white with canvass. We owe to them the an- nual spectacle of golden harvests, which carry plenty and hoppiness alike to the palace and the cottage. We owe to them the fortresses that guard our coast—the ships that have borneour flag to every clime, and earried the thunder of our cannen triumphant ever the waters of the deep. Enterprise is another great trait in the American sharacter—united with industry—it oe not at difficul- ties—it delights to overcome them. If occasionally its efforts are misdirected, in the main it isa healthy exer cise of a wise forecast, aided by good sense, to advance individuat and common interests. That enterprise has opened our forests, built our cities, manned our ships, projected our canals and railways ; and whetner we cir- cumnavigate the earta,or people the Oregon, thecry of ‘Go ahead,” is still the watchword to urge us forward. In Europe it‘takes centuries to build cities ; and they suf- fer all the bade vera 2 from ther slow method of transit, for the interchange of products, before they dare venture upon a more rapid communication. But inthis country, the foundation for cities is hardly laid betore railways are made in every direction, to secure to it population, business and wealth, Between Rochester and Buffalo, the red man of the forest has yet hardly left his hunting ground, and the deer been frightened from her covert ; yet the forest is already threeded, and a pathway made, on which you may pass with the rapid ity of the eagle’s flight, and by a power that seems irresistible. As you dash through the dark woods, your sensations are in unison with the scene around you ; and an indescriba- ble wildness is the predominating feeling. ‘These forests cover yet a large portion of our state. The country is too new, and the population too sparse—although it may number at this time near two anda half millions—to bring a large portion of our State under cultivation. The State of New York is about the size of England. ‘they have about ninety-eight millions ef acres under cultivation —we, say ten. They produce annually two hundred and sixty-two millious of bushels of gi — We, it fifty-one million. They have ten millions of cattle, and forty.four millions of sheep—we, two millions o! cattle, and five and a half millions of sheep. The comparison ot her farm products, holds about the rameproportion. ultivation of the soil, however, acre for acre, we neorer to them in the quantity of the general and when an equal areu of surface is cleared, and we have about quadrupled our populatian, I trust we shall not be bebind them in obtaining equivalent returns. Forty years ago farming in the river counties was of the worst poenie description. The virgin ferti ofthe soil had been exhausted by repeated creppings; and when we heard of the immense quantity of wheat raised in what was then called Genesee, it was thought—when compared with our section—that it was avery paradise for farmers. Many, of course, were tempted to emigrate; and why not? Thefertility of their farms was exhausted, and they did not know how to restore it. ‘Their course of cropping was nearly os follows: Take off the timber, put in wheat, then acrop of corn, after that sow it with eas long as it would grow. This was the courseon the sandy ground; on theclay—a stronger soil—the: put in wheat as long as it would grow, after that let it ran to pasture—to sow grass seed was not thought ot. Cultivation like this, brought at length poor returns to thefarmer. A renovating tystem for the goil must be adopted from which better returns could be obtained, or they must all emigrate. The use of clover and plaster was the first renovating power that was tried, and they repaid tenfold the expense of their application. But that was far from being enough; other appliances must be added; and they at length found that the dung heap, if they could only make enough of it, would effectually fili up the hiatus. Now, it is net alone ‘he litter of our barn- us that is ued for that purpose, but every species of offal ind refuse, from the mud of the ditch to the muck of mp; from ashes, marl, and lime—all ! all !—and that can be obtained, down to old regs, are found to have the most invigorating influence onthe soil. Che- mistry, too, is now coming to our aid, and she promises to be a most powerful ally. But we yet want to learn, as nearly as possible, how cause produces effect. We need amoreintimate knowledge of our soil and its capacities, and what kind of substances and methods of husbandry will givethe largest returns. Our art is yet in its in fancy, and our implements, until lately, have been of a piece with ourhusbandry. These too, have essentially improved, but itisonly since the whole system has been examined, and found, throughout, deficient. A better day, ‘however, | is dawning. Many of these r lands have been, in @ measure, re- claimed, and the prospect for the future is brightening. Agriculture, tor fifteen or twenty years, has occupied a prominent place in our pursuits, and it has already made such fall returns for the little attention bestowed upon it, that its advancement has become not only a matter of in- terest, but the aay, ef ita seurce of pleasure. Our men of talents have lately turned their attention to the subject. Our men of property have devoted a part of theit weaith to its Hor aati farmers have brought their intel- ligent minds, 98 well jing hands, to aid in the gene- ral advancement. though not } men who have tl with us, we know to most devoted friends. “The State, too, has contributed her aid, by the general diffusion of knowledge, in the establi mentof her schools, and in pursuing a much more intel- ligent as well as ex; jive system of education. She has aided by her geological survey ; by her beneficence in con. tributing to the formation of County Agricultural Socie- ties, and the exgened she has bestowed in the informa. tion of this, the Agricultaral Society ofthe State of New York. Our agricultural journals, too, of which there are many excellent ones, have immensely multiplied—they have awakened public attention; for, from their large sub: ‘ion lists, we must infer that they have many willing readers. These are the dawnings—they indicate that our progre:sin happines: 18 onward ; that we are the friends of civilization, of education, of all that is to make us a great and prosperous people. Reports were made after Dr. Beekman closed his address and prizes were awarded. Ex-Governor Sewanv was then callod for, and addressed the multitude assembled ; but we can only find room for one ex'ract, as follows :— Fellow-citizens, if there be any thing which can delight f man, or aservant of God, it is to f fame the conducting of armies—but there is more fulness in the production of one fabric of human in: dustry—such as every where strround us it this alcove— than ali the conquerors of our race have done for the be. nefit of mankind. (Applause) There is something noble to follow the bold, the generous, the gallant hero and statesman; but it is every thing for the country and for mankind, to tecure the perpetuation of domestic peace and harmony with their brethern throughout the werld. Show me anation which has lived in harmony among its members, and in peace with mankind, and {will show you @ State whose citizens will assemble by thou- sands, and tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands, to exhibit to each other and to the world, the pre. ducts of art and of agriculture. It is then that I see the proudest, most sublime sight of my life—tor I see a guarantee thatthe peace and harmony of our beloved country is to last, vot oniy through this generation, but, a8 I confidently hope, through that in which those neat and dear to usareconcerned. Let tuture generations take care of themselves—I rejoice to know that the one now upon the — of action, will never know thi ‘ighs of war, or the distractions of civil dissensions.

Let us dif- ler as We may, upon questions of finance, about the cur- rency, or tariffs,or banks, J tell you, if our statesmen but ay upon this question—agriculture—it is of but very little consequence which is right. And why? Becoucc, fellow citizens,the political power of this try resides in the ogricultural portion of its inhubi enditir a truth asfold as government, that every mass of men wi!l best understand their own interests. Then, if this be true, and the great body of the egriculturists unite in pro- moting their own trueinterests, as they understand them, they will take care of all things else. Not that I deem any of these uninteresting or unimportant, for those who know me know with what tenacity I adhere to those prin. ciples which eitber experience or reflection have convin- ced me were right. But while! dothis, 1 would consult and do consult, the welfare of man, and would be faith{ul to my country. This is the desire of every honest man.

Merancuory Disaster.— We regret to learn from the Gloucester Telegraph of Friday, that it 1s now ascertained beyond doubt that the schooner Byron of that port, was lost in the gale of the 20th Au- gust, with all on board. The following are the names and ages of her crew—six of them have left families :— George Watson, master, aged 33 years—has left a wile andtwo children.’ Joseph Stevens, aged 34 years—has Jefta wife. Joseph Fears, Jr., aged 33 years--has lett a wile and three children. Frederick Parsons, aged 83 yeats—has left a wife and one child, Isaac Fears, Jr., aged 31 years—hus left a wife and three children. Aaron Perkit ed31 years—has left # wife and twochildren. Benjamin Watson, aged 93 years. brother to the master. ‘Thomas Turner, aged 20 years; John R. Curtiss, aged 18 years; Hosea Nelson, eged 17 years. The loss of the Byron will also be severely felt in a pecuniary point ot view; not a more valuable vessel of her class could probably have been select- ed trom the port of Gloucester. She was 73 tons burthen, nearly new—having been employed but one season, and in every respect a marae vessel She had on board, when last spoken, 130 barrels of mackerel. The vessel and cargo were valued at $5000. She was owned by Joseph Friend & Co. of Gloucester, in which firm Captain Watson was a partner. She was entirely uninsured.
