thi-, 6 oeiety has been. influenood by u
spit it if favuritism in its awards of

imiahing this charge belong to that,
peculiar, but not tncommoa variety of
the hiuman specios, who really tlink
that all articles exhibited by thieu

to procure a preniun),. they. Boo un
mistakuble evidence of fraud upon

Thero is another class of individu
ala, who hold up theit hiand3 in holy
horror at our multitudinous sins, and
with much sorrow, but very loud tv-iti
ing, bemoan the departing mograls of
our visitors, who see nothing ;t our
Fairs but drinking, gambling, horse..
lacing, and noisy, humbug shows.
These latter, are usually a puritanical,
narrow- winded, wduld-be sanctimo.
nious, and sometimes hypocritical set,
who have much prayer but little broad
lur thi way-faror. Dictatorial in
their doctrines, and egotistical in
their views, all parties who diflar
- ivith thou, are rolarded as legitimate
sublijects for confrlent and criticism.
