LONDON, FRIDAY, OCrOBER 15, 1852.

Farmers must make hay while their political sun
shines. We de not suppose indeed that Lord DERBY
will walk out just when it pleases Lord JOHN to
walk in. Still, in the actual state of parties, no politi-
cal prophet can foretell how soon some other Govern-
ment may supersede the present one. A. Ministry of
farmers' friends is now in office. A Minis-
professed
try of individuels, each of whom in the long aeven
years' wdr vvih the League, and after their defeat by
it, in a three or four years' war with their con-
in the regiment of farmers'
querors, fought steadily
friends. They have fought till they have at least en-
tered, by a sudden panic among their opponents, into
the very stronghold of their enemies. To such firm
and fast friends, friends row victorious and in com-
mand of the very citadel of legislation, the far-
mers are bound to look for something. How is it
they are not moving ? Do they not know what they
want ? 'lave the burdens on land quite vanished?
Manufacturers could tell Government and Parliament
boldly enough what they wanted. Public meetings,
petitions, deputations (not always convenient to be re-
ceived by a Prime Minister) could leave no mistake
as to their wishes. Why are tlle farmers so silent ?
Is it confidence ? Well, hut every one of them who
only sees a county paper at the Swan or the Maid's
Head, knows that leaders in Parliament crave above
all things the help of "support v;ithout." Our far-
, mera then should forthv.rith hold public meetings,
settle wliat arc the burdens peculiar to land, and
de-
mand their removal with irresistible numbers and
energy. Now or never!
Well, then, what are their peculiar burdens ? It is
not their raw nisterial. The landetcx, nominal as it
is, fahs not on tha=w; of the tithes the same is true,
they are a daduction only from the original purchase-
money, or inheritance. Agricultural lorse-tax they
pay none—nothing fur tolls in carting manure.
They are even allowed one horse to ride. Poor rates
they pay more liBhtly than meat towns, while the
towns relieve them of many of their surplus labourers.
Farmers have, however, peculiar burdens, and now
is the time to press them on the attention of Parlia-
ment. Foremost amongst these we regard the land.
lord's right to distrain for rent, and thus to obtain an
nr‘just preference ov..;r other creditors.. At present,
lOW as prices ere, there is a severe cenr,petition for
farms : obviously there are too menr farmers. Till
