Delivered at tho Third Annual Fair or tho Linn Coun ty Agricultural Society, Sept. S3, 18C8, Mr. President t Ladies and Gentlemen, Mtmbrrs of the Linn County Ayri cultural Association t Through kinduessand partiality I have been solicited to addrc. you upon tho oc caslon of this, your third annual Fair. have left the cares, perplexities and la- bors of my usual business, and have cotno to answer to tho invitation that has been made, and thus pay my respects to you. I acknowledge tho honor and distinction thus conferred, and return you my thanks. Tho responsibility thus imposed, and the interest auu instruction which ouht to be imparted on an occasion like this, would bo better discharged, I know, had it de volved upon some other than riiyxclf. mitwhat ever my remarks may lack by way of general interest or general infor mation, will be compensated for, in Vnirt at least, I trust, by tho brevity that ehall attcud them ; for I recoguizo the great foreo and truthfuluees of the words of him who said that, " Jircvity is the oul of wit, tediousuess tho limb and out ward flourishes, no I will bo brief." This is the third aunual Fair, held un der tho auspices and management of the present society. The association is a permanent and fix ed institution of the county. It is the owner of its grounds, and those having aud management have tlouc what they could to provide for the convenience aud comfort of those who honor the occasion with their pres ence. When we look around u, aud fete the vast number of people n.sMtublcd and as sembling here coming as thev do from all parLs of the county, from other coun- t t-.A & i A I- . .... ties anu uistani pari oi mc mate, we can not mistake the -lively iutcrest thus taken a the pursutls and interests of agrtcul ure, nor the public approval thus given of Exhibitions and Fain like tliM. This is an auspicious day for the iu athering of farmers, mechanics, tock- raisers. aud people who have gathered here. You have just reaped a rich har? vest. J he fields ot beautifully growing grain which a khort time ago .waved in ionor of htm who cultivates thcfeoii, have yielded their returns. lour labor ban njt been in vain. You h:vc gathered to vour "arncrs this year, almost as great, if o .... . not a greater number ot bushels, proUuc- cd from the soil of Linn t-ounty, as wa raUed four vcars ago in the whoe .Vtc of Oregon. J'ieuty U at every door; whilst general gCl health and more than usual prosperity arc everywhere seen with in our borders. The people have thus met together to gratulate each other and to talk and think about the subject and advancement of the caure of agriculture ; to profit as best they can from each other's wis Jom, expe rience and skill. It is in this way, aud this wav only, that agricultural Fairs can be made to impart tho general interest aud be productive of the general ucod fur which they are intended. Farmers thus come together to learn from each other to tec what each has done and is doing. It has been said that "in a multitude of counsel their is wis dom" and the fact thus exprc?ecd applies no less to agriculture than to any other department of business or pursuit in life. Experience has shown that agricultural associations, founded upon a proper and substantial basis, and fairly and rightful ly conducted, arc productive of great gcod of results most beneficent. To fcueh organizations is att.ibutable, in part, the development of the country, and the great Btndes ot improvement that are be ing consummated everywhere around us. Not only ia this true so far as our own immediate neighborhood and county are concerned, but it is true wi:h reference to the State, to other btates of tho union and even to the countries of the Kastcrn Hemisphere. Allow mc, before passing to other matters, to refer specially to our own county. I take ppecial pleasure in doiug so, because I am peculiarly identified with her people, and the development of the resources which make thw great coun ty an important constituent part of this ercat state ot Oregon Though not born here, seventecu years of my brief life have been spent upon her soil. It wa3 hero that my father gave me my early lessons in tho pursuits of agriculture. It is here that I was taught how to hold the plow, sow tho grain, swing the cradle and bind tho sheaf; here that early and pleasant asso ciations are : here that 1 studied and practiced the chosen profession of my lite, and to wnicn i snau soon again re turn. These, and other like considcra- I uons mc t0 tsom f my carty li nq with "honks of steel." and cna- hnme as with "hooks of steel," and cna- . ; mc to speak of my country with plcas- ure an. . itccur ,to ycar3 Past contrast yu will theconaVtion of this country as it once was with Jfc 13 to-day. - Vhy sir, when you as an adventurer and pion- eer of the west, twrst euteu - Vkil borders, you found only a vaa"t unoccu pied country. ' . . . , Untouched and untamed by civilization, it was the abode and hunting grounds only of a savage and barbarous race. Ihe valleys and plains were beautiful to be hold, and tho great coats of wild grass gave earnest of tho richness of the soil ; Yet not a furrow marked ils surface. But now how different I County organiza tions hava been formed and a State has been admitted into the Union. The sav age wilderness has been tamed, and tho wild savage has fled from the approach of civilization. The wide spread vallies and dense wll derness that once made the earth groan with their nativo crowth, have been converted into highly cultivate!! farms, and now groan with the rich productions of tho hand of industry. . Tho mountain stream lrorn which onco was only heard tho sound of its own ripplings, and on whoso banks was only found tho Indian fisherman, now turn mills and fuctorics, (surrounded by farm", tho finest in tho btato. Ihe broad Willamette, which in early days was moved only by tho winds, or tho bark canoe ot tho eavngc, now bears upon its bosom (steamboats laden with tho rich productions of happy free men, and defies tho waves and commands he (storm ! Tho hills aro mado to field thoir valu able timbers, and tho mountains to dis- gorgo their rich minerals. Towns and beautiful and pleasant tillngns have sprung up, and farm honscs dot the face of tho whole country. Temples of Jus tice, houses of worship, colleges of aci once, Pcminarics of learning and school houses ot common education, have been erected, and stand to day as living monu ments ot tho civilization, progress and pcrmanancy ot this people, ure-at hih- ways havo beon constructed conuectiuir this with the Ochoco and other distaut val ises beyond. Kailrouds will aoon bo built m behalf of transportation and com merce, while already we havo that other instrumentality the electric telegraph. which ''walls a sigh almost from the In dus to the pole." huch has been in part the rapid pro rcss of our couuty ; such in part the rogress of the State, much more has ecu tho progress of our eouutry aud people at large iuc tho founding of our lLcpubiic. ihe advancement of commerce, sci-l ence, literature aud riUnetu'-ut of tho Republics of Carthago, of 12 recce and of Home, has employed a thousand pens aud ten thousand tongues in description and praise. The same progress and ad vancement of Kuropean governments have exhausted eulogy and cutifuuudcd wonder ; and yet the advcuccmcnt of the Republic of the Fnittd Htates, iu every characteristic of civilization, human hap piness aud national gre-atue has been more in the laid three quarters of a cen tury, than theirs has been in five huu drel years. As a pursuit, as an avocation and bus. iue-ss in life, surely there is none more ncceary and indispensable, none more honorable and exalte than that of agri culture. The authority for it emanates from tho highest souiceof authority; fyr it was said by tlod to man, " Jo forth, ajultipy and replenish and subdue the earth!" Here is the sanctiou of Him who made the soil and made man to till it ; and it has had the Kanction and ap proval of the great and the good of the whole human race. Agriculture i a science. To under stand it, and to make it useful and bene ficial iu other word, to make it pay requires no small caliber of mind. I confess, the drone, the man of smallest and narrowest intellect, of least culti vate! mind and lowest ambition, can make an. exij-ttnee on a quarter, or half, or full section of land ; especially if the (Jovernmcnt of the United States has generously cen fit to give the land to him. For, in this case, if he would throw the grains of wheat upon the native sward, unplowed and unbroken, the native richness and fertility of the soil would, of itelf, produce enough to feed him who's brow had never iswcat, aud who's hand had never toiled. Hut I know of but few within the range of my knowledge, that come within this description or within this category. Rut what I mean is, to understand the sci ence of agriculture, to make it profitable, to make it pay, we must understand it practically as well as theoretically. We must be practical farmers. We must rise early if we would be thrifty farmers) ; we mut be industrious, judicious, eco nomical and wise. It is not enough to be a fourth, or a third, or a second-rate farmer; for nothing will fill the bill short of a ftnt-rate jtrartiral farmer. Keep your farms neat, cultivate them well, and the rich aud fertile soil you till will repay you by a return of ample and abundant harvests. . When the crop has been put in, when the season for seed ing is over, the implements of the farm should be returned to the shed for pres ervation from the winter rains and storms. It is a mark of poor taste and poor husbandry to see tho reaper and thrasher left upon the stubble, or the plow left standing in tho ground as if threatening to make another furrow, or the harrow piled in the corner of the fence. Tho scienco of agriculture, (and when I speak of it as a science, I refer to it not as a theory , for I am not dealing with fine spun theories to-day), but as a sci ence reduced to practical demonstratkvn and use, is, like all other sciences and arts, progressive and susceptible of im provement; and it has progressed and improved greatly in its practical opera tions within tho recollection and observa tion of you all. A few years ago tho farm was carried on by slow process and great physical labor. But now, nearly all the labor is done by means of ma chinery and stock directed and controll ed by the genius, intelligence and skill of the farmer. In former times the pursuit of agri culture was regarded by some as an in ferior or low calling. It was considered that those only of inferior mind and edu cation and poor in purse, should follow tho business 0f farming. In other wordf, that only. tho "common people" lived in tho country and tilled the soil. I This erroneous idea may prevail to some extent, even yet, and amongst our own people.. There aro those I know who seem to pride themselves on tho fact that thev aro of wealthy parentage, live. in costly city mansions, and can roll in wealth, luxury and idleness, and keep up with the "fashion;" and that be cause of this they are superior .to those around them; - Such, you will find, are always like " the lillys of the valley who toil not, neither do they spin ; yet Sol omon in aU his glory arrayed himself not y, 1 v JL- --JlIjl o OCTOBER 10, 18G8. like one of these." There may be it is true, a hltlo more "stylo" and "fashion" and less charity, found in the city than in the country. But men and women of tho country and the farm, remember the truth uttered by him who hath said that "Fashion fa an umpiro that fools doth bow to. Tho idea that agricult uro, that farming, that cultivating tho soil, that earning the broad wc eat by tho sweat of tho brow, is a low calling or nn avocation dishonorable, h fostered only by the grossest ignorance and sug gosted only by the (shallowest mind Let no one bo mistaken in the itnpor tnnco of agriculture, or the exalted post tion held by the farmer. For upon ag riculturo depends all tho other business and pursuits of hfc. It is tho very foun dation, the substratum of our political, social, civil and commercial systems. Farmers aro jroud of their calling; aud well they may be, for it is in the country and upon the farm that is found nativo personal independence, intelli gence and honor. It is there that is found domestic peace and good will to all, and in felt the operation of the per fect law of liberty. Tho great men of our country were farmers. Washington spent the earliest and latest days of his life in the pursuits of agriculture; Jefferson and Franklin were farmers ; Clay and Webster, whilst they were great statesmen, orators and lawyers, they were always Interested in the agricultural prosperity of the country. and when tired of the cards and perplex- uiv? oi jjuuue me, reiireu iu lue larin for quietude and repose. And Jackson w&i not a prouder man when Packenham surrendered to him his sword and made him the hero of Orleans, than he was when cultivating the soil at the Hermit age, or training his horse and Uhtiug his peed at the turf. Farmers of Linn county ! farmers of Or egon ! greatly prize, and fill well your high position. I 'pou you and the influence you exert, the State, the country depends for the development of its great resources. Teach your sons early the lessons of the farm. Teach them how to plow, how to sow and l-.ow to reap. Teach your daugh ters likewise as they should be taught. Your sons will thus make better farmers, mechanics, itatesmen, lawyers or other porfefcsioiial men than they othcrwire would. Your daughters, though born they may have been iu eorae humble cab in and rocked in a cradle made of a box, vet with the proper instruction they will be obedient daughters and will make noble women. Thev mav not dash forth from the retreats of modesty, and assume the garb of manhood, or engage in the angry agitations of the political arena, but they will fill a sphere the noblent, the highest and the holicU that man or woman Can fill ; they will teach the law oflunducss, of purity and f love. Thus will be promoted the public good and civilization of the country. Stronger still will be the pillar of our " Farmer Republic," and solidified still more the bulwarks around the citadel of Republican liberty. fiujr A writer in the Church Union, a religious Radical paper, thus speaks of Grant : Hen. Grant is not a Jit man fur a chrutain to svpjwrt. Here now is this ypcechlcw! sphynx enveloped in a cloud of tobacco smoke a vilcnt, stub born man of the world. Suppose he tekes it into his head to convert his four years grant of power into a life leise, or any other whim. He has the army at his command, and every evil injlnenee too in the land icill sujijtort him. .We do not ay this will be, but is it proper for chris tian men to (five over the executive pow er of this nation inte such hands ? Ukar What a Soldier Says. Gen. cral Hancock, in a recent letter gives ex pression to the following manly senti ments : " Those who suppose I do not acquiesce in the work of the National Dcmccratic Convention, or that I do not sincerely de sire the election of the nominees, know vcrv little of mv character. Bclicvini verily do, that tho preservation of the Constitutional Government eminently depends on the success of the Democratic party in the coming election, were J to hesitate in its cordial support, 1 feel I should not only falsify my otcn record, 11UT COMMIT A CRIME AGAINST MY COUNTRY. The following little item of informa tion speaks volumes. A Florida corres pondent writes : I think tho northern tax payers, who make their living by honest toil, should know that for two months tho govern ment has been distributing freo rations to tho negroes in this State. In Leon county, whero the negroes registered about 2,700 voters (2,CG0, some 35.000 rations were issued last month alono. Do you givo freo rations to the laborers of the north? Didn't Practice. An old lady an nounced in court, at Atlanta, that " she had no counsel," that " God was her law yer." " My dear Madam," replied the Judge, " He docs not practice irt - this court." If " ignorance is bliss," tho South Carolina black-and-tan Legislature is the happiest body in existence. It is said to contain eighty members who can neither read nor write. . " ' ; A California editor says he lately met a grammarian who had just made a tour through the mines cogitating thus : "Pos itive, mino; Comparative, miner; Super lative, minus."
