. The PRISSIDIENT, in opening the proceedings, said
It was with very great pleasprethat he again met the
members of tbe Farmers' Club. If the benefit arising
from their meetings were noother it was great enosigh
to promote goodfellowship and ibl.Cc herhood amongst
the agricultural classes and those gentlemen wkic
favoured them with their company, as belonging SO
the town of Dorchester. They had no disputes—
they had great differences of opinion of.en, but
they always - ' agreed to differ, and he must
say for one, and he thought be spoke the
sentiments of all, Gs/ they had enjoyed the
meetisgs together which they had had, and
that they had very little to regret when they re-
flected upon them. (Hear, hear.) He conceived
those to have been very great advantages accruing
from the institution; but beyond that they had
riltribtleae reeeived much beneiiefrom the diffusion of
illegal and valuale knowledge, bearing principally
lik the interests of agriculture ; and their meetings
hiarl also, he was sure, promoted a better general tin-
tderstanding amongst all classes, who took notice
or their proceedings.
The Scceirraite having read the minutes, NOW.
conversation ensued as to the time of holding the
meetings of the club, when it was resolved that
1 they should be convened at 5 p.m., the chair be
taken at 3.30, and the discussions terminated at 8.
Several other matters ineidental to the commence-
ment of the session having been disposed of, Mr. G.
J. Woon delivered the following

Imo

I_ _ INAUGURAL ADDRISIS

In compliance with onr custom, I have prepared a few
observations to which I beg your indnlgent attention at
the opening of another sermon. Many stirring events
have occurred during the past year beating either directly
or remotely on the interests of agriculture, which might
ponibly be treated of with advantage to us all.
bat we must roofine our attention to • few only that
most intimately affect us. The last harvest yielded
on but an indifferent crop of 00i ii, Llling probably one
fourth below an average. It is a goad thing if we
thus learn the leasen of human impotence. Man
may cultivate and sow with his utmost diligence and
skill, but the Mamma is in other bands than his. To
repine against Providence; were base ingratitede and

And, I believe, we have learnt not to murmur against
Abe Legislature for the retnoval of that sliding scale of
iii.tective duties by which we were in great measure
eompensated for a deficient crop. Is it that the bard

True the Minitter who introduced the measure
of Free Trade it corn did not withhold the whole
truth when he said that lf they repealed the duty
on imported cum, the remission of the Malttax
Inuit in justice follow. It was an unfortunate speech
—a slip of the tongue no doubt. Whet would animated-
ing urinisters hays given if he hai never said it, Yea,
from his lips it wines with the best anthoiity, but
whether the question be supported by sush testimony or
not, it rests on • principle which no power on earth can
gaineey. Justifiable on the ground of public exigency,
,in a time of war, or on the plea of an equivalent
accruing to the British farmer through proteotion, the
preservation of the tax in a time of peace, and after the '
ecismter-vailing benefit bed beets taken away from the
home-greiver, becomes au. set of rank injustice. We
have said it before, and we must repeat it again end
agate till the argument shall have received practical
tomcat, that to retain an enormous tax on an article
of extensive home producton, after the remission of
the duty on similar articles of foreign production, is an
IMA of gross *asides to the British farmer. We are not
bilking about a trifle. The strongest argument that
has ever been urged against the repeal shows the con-
trary. The tax cannot be repealed bemuse it yields so
large an ineresse ef the revenue. As if Vie magnitude'
of the sum were not the measure of the iniqnity. In
lie last budget the effort of the Chatmellor of the
;chequer to oonvince tho Rouse that he could not part
with the tax occupied more than three columns of the
• nines newtpaper, but he carefully avoided touching on
the principle on which we mainly rest our claim,and how.
ever he now he succeeded by Us elaborate argument
and rhetorical power in allaying temporary ospoeitios,
a. careful pental of his speech will convince every un-
biassed mind that the question is not yet disposed of,
and forcibly bring to our recollection the apt remark of
Bir ft. B. Lytton int& admirable support of F
maim that, "He had lived long enough to know that
of all eonjuting EOM was en iIIIWYB Al the figures of an
adroit sad aceornalished Mitifster." Our national
, emblem of justice is a female figure pbbilng the scales
''with blindfold eyes, to denote the impartiality with
which she deals out the principle. In this este she should
be represented as peeping under the handkerchief
