My Dean Six :—On the morning of the day pro- ceding that fixed for tho primary elections by the wee party, I met Mr James Brooks on the corn of Broadway and Wall street, who complained of the injustice about to be done him in his district, by withholding from hima renomination to Congress He said that his brother would not consent to his prab| another term in Congress - Awd his business and a due regard to his pecuniary interests, forbade his making any such eacrifice ag+in-—and that thero- fore, under no circumstacces, would he accept of a nomination if tendercd to him,although he thought it was his right to claim a renomination from bis politi- cal friends in order that he might occupy a propor position during the next session I entirely agreed with him in this opinion, avd inquired who was op- posing his re-nomination. He said that you were, and intended, if possible, to prev nt his being even tendered the nomination replied that I knew you wore 8 cendidate; but that [ had also heard that he, Mr. Brooke, declined serving another term. Ho said that was truo; but that it was very important to his position in Congress, during the romainder of bis term, that he shovld be re nominated; and that if"be wes not nominsted, he should refuse to take his seat noxt winter and resign. F expreased the opinion that there could not ve any seiraite in mekipg the necessary arrangements to insure him the renomination; and that uf he desired it, I would very cheerfully see you upon the subject He then pereenned me to do so, and added that you had sent to him a very improper person to negotiate upon the subject—one with whom he could net freely confor; and begged that | should arran, witb you that his nomination should be made with- out any conditions beyoud what had passed between us, in order that ho might not be situatea as was Mr. Underhill, who, it was well understood at Washing- ton, could not have received his nomination except upon the condition he would declme it. I cheer- fully premised to see you without delay, and upen our separating, I repsired at once to your offive. After reoapitulating 10 you what had passed be- tween Mr. Brooks and myself, you denied having but said that, on the oon- trary, that person had been with you alloging that he came from Mr. Brooke; avd you particulariy re- quested that Mr. Brooke should be informed, that you would not for a moment have thought of em- ploying the party referred to, on #0 delicate a busi- ness. My interview with you was entirely satis- factory; and I immediately addressed a note to Mr. Brooks, stating that you had beoome a candidate under the beliet that Mir. Brooks would not rua again; and that I was authorized by you to say that jeu would not only very cheerfully unite in securing im @ re-nomination, but that if he should deter- mine again te be a candidate before the people, you would do all in your powor to insure his success. My object in making this communication in writing, was to enable Mr, Brooks to use it at Washington, in the event of his opponents taunting him with having been compelled to decline a re election—nor doubting for a moment but he was reaily anxious te avoid a re-election and acting in goo taith. At your request, I waited upon Mr. -Brooks this morping, snd informed him [oamo from you to leara whether he hsd declined the nomination frem tho Eighth district; and if not, when it was bisintention | todo so? Very grea'ly to my surprise, dr. Brooks complained that you had not ac in good faith in running ticket in the Fighteonth ward, and re- fusing to agree upon atickes satisfactory to both parties; |, also, that your friends in conventien voted for you aud prevented his unsaimous nomina- tion, and insisted that, in his opiaion, if he had not beaten your ticket in the Eighteenth ward by a se vere struggle, you would have been nominated in- stead of him, in direot violation of the underetundiog | entered into through me. I replied that these were | questions ot fact iu relation to which I knew nothing, and of inferonoes which 1 vouid not entertain; but that you had said to me, and J could not doubt yeu, that the vote cast for you by your friends in con- vention, was contrary to your wishes and in direct violation of your urgent request to the parties who | oast it. I admitted that, 1f done with your sano- tion, it was a violation of the arrangement made through me, inasmuch as it deprived him of a unanimous nomination; bat that reas entirely sat- No. 41.

An additional cause of the incroused assomblage | was tobe found in the faot that yesterday was appoint- | ed for the distribution of premiums to thove parties whom tho judges considered mest worthy. As the | appointed hour for distribution arrived, crowds col- leoted around the stand occupied by tho bend, and | be the musicians vacated thoir places pro tempore. At one o’clock the committee apponred, and the pro- ceedings at once commenced. Mr. Banks, in addressing the oxhibitors, observed that the committee had deputed him to rotura thanks to the owners of the beasts then prosent, fur the handsome manner in which they had rosponded to the invitation of the cemmitico to send their ani mois. They had additonal reasons for feeling grw | tified, asthe presen fair had never been excelled | anywhero for quality, though it might be surpassed | for quantity. To secure that result, the premium had been inoreased, sud in order that the judgo might give fair aud impartial docisions, none of thom had been allowed to compete for the prizes Loril lard Spencer, Exq , had sent some sploadid short- borped eattlc, but he did so merely to enhance tho exhibition, not to compete, for he was precluded | from #0 doing through bis boiag 2 member of the | Agriculture!
