THE NATIONAL CORN LAW ASSOCIATION,
FOR THE
PROTECTION OF AGRICULTURE.

THE efforts now making throughout the United King-
dom, by the friends of the Agricultural Classes, are
not only most laudable, but may be regarded as a type of
the extent of injury, which is at All times to be appre-
hended from the machinations kf weak and designing
demagogues; but however great and generous the exer-
tions of the provincial Pro-Cora Law Societies may be,
they can effect but little real advantage in the absence of a
point of general concentration and succour. It is, there-
fore, proposed to establish a permanent Pro-Corn Law
Society in the Metropolis, to be called "THE NATIONAL
CORN LAW ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROTECTION OF
AGRICULTURE."
The objects of this Association are
lst. —To correspond with all the Provincial Societies of
a similar character constantly, and to advise with them
individually and collectively, in all cases of emergency.
2d.—The Association to use the utmost vigilance and
exertion during the existence of the Anti-Corn Law
League, and to meet the demonstrations of the latter by
counter demonstrations in London and the Provinces;
and for this purpose the Society to employ men of talent
to attend the Pro-Corn Law Meetings, to rebut the
League's statements and assertions, and, by every means
in their power, to set the public right, as to the real
objects of the present Anti-Corn Law Agitation.
3d.—ln consequence of the alarming spread of incen-
diarism in the Agricultural Districts, the funds of this
Association will be employed in the detection and prose-
cution of offenders, and in the adoption of such other
means as may appear advisable for the suppression of that
disastrous evil.

4th.—The Association to hold a conference once a week,
and oftener if requisite, during the existence of the
Anti-Corn Law League, and to make arrangements for
the immediate concentration of the leading members of
the Provincial Societies; and also to collect reports from
those societies, showing the progress of the cause in their
respective localities.

sth.—This Association on no account to trespass on
the ground already taken by other societies, in London or
elsewhere, for the advancement of Agricultural Science,
but to confine its operations to the maintenance of the
moral and political influence, as well as the pecuniary
interests, of the Agricultural Classes throughout the
United Kingdom.
6th.--The Association to open a Subscription List
forthwith for all parties desirous of becoming members,
and supporting the Agricultural interests of the United
Kingdom. Subscriptions of Patron Members, £3 3s. per
Annum. A Contribution of Fifty Guineas constitutes a
Life Member, and a Subscription of One Guinea an
Ordinary Member, who shall be entitled to attend all the
Meetings, and receive the Society's Reports.
ith.—The controul of the funds and general business of
the Association to be intrusted to a Council of Twelve
Members, (with power to add to their number,) Chair-
man, and Secretary. The Council to be required to meet
dtfily for despatch of business, during the existence of the
Anti-Corn Law League, and five members of this Council
to constitute a quorum. _

Bth.—The Officers and Agents of the Association to be
appointed by the Council.

9th.—On the receipt of Subscriptions to the amount of
£lOOO the Association shall be declared to be formed, and
a Meeting of the Members will be forthwith called by the
Acting Secretary, and the necessary arrangements made
for immediate operations.
The absence of so many influential gentlemen, now
necessarily called to attend their Parliamentary duties,
from the remote districts of the country is most seriously
felt by the Local Societies, and a general want of confi-
dence in the former leaders of the Agricultural Constitu-
encies of England is beginning to show itself ; and nothing
will tend more immediately to check the progress of this
evil than showing them that their representatives in Par-
liament are actively engaged in their cause, at this critical
moment, in the metropolis. No time, therefore, should
be lost in the formation of this Association for the ener-
getic defence of the Corn Laws, and it is sincerely hoped
that this call on the national Agricultural interests, will be
promptly responded to. The views of the Association as
regards Ireland and Scotland will be fully detailed at the
first meeting of the Members of the Association, and
prompt steps taken to arrest the progress of incendiarism
in those countries.
