as well as boroughs. Agricultural plaice do ma
know Tories or Conservetives, Whip or Liberals,
Radiaals or Chartists, and it does not follow that any
print connected with them should be supported be e
party in the usual political seam .4 the word. R,
agricultural p dines, so far as the espreenue hw,
settled &mi. into • definit meaning, it seeing je
understood all the various public questions affecting
the farming interest, which,owieg to the interpreta-
tion put upon the charter of the Royal Society, and
the usual rule among the local Agrienitural Socitiee,
are excluded from discussion at its sad their meetinp„
Thus the expediency of abolishing the Malt-tax is
'shooed to the &Loyal Society, we can hardly pretend
to say why, while we notice that although not
universally, yet by many of the loml societies the
question has been dismissed, and in some eases action
even taken oo it. It was the Repeal of the Malt-tax
agitation which gave rise to Agricultural Chamber&
It is difficult to undere'sod why the Royal Society
might not have discussed it, and having finalised the
local efforts all over the kingdom, taken the lead in
laying before the Government the agrionitund mind
on the subject. Another point in question irttame,
which appears to us to be just as mach apart loom
party polities as Leases, and a deal more than 'Meant
Right. The latter indeed has become almost e•
preterit)* in Ireland, and a mere stalking horse to sb,
banter after political influence. Of mimes we do
not mean that this is universally the case, but it
prevails to each an extent as to taint many a declare.
'en is which it appears with suspicion. It bats been
thmght, though it scarcely matters to notice it that
that Chambers of Agriculture would be useful
were there no such questions, and that they
need not supersede or interfere with agricultural
societies, properly so called; but it is difficult
to see, if we are to have as many chambers
as societies, why there should be two sets of
machinery kept up for matters which one may very
well mausfp. It looks like a waste of power to have
two organizations for doing what one can accomplish;
and we cannot understand why, to speak in the
scientific cant of the day, there might not he an
economy of force here. If the title "chamber" is
better than "society" why not adopt it. If the
objects of the former, why not adopt them? And
why should • bugbear about politics, or • blurred
superstition about • name, be allowed to stand in
the way of wholesome development or manifest
improvement?
