dictjon of most of the articles which emanate
from tue press Of the Argus, especially those
OF which this gentleman is The reputed author
One article, however, from another pen, I'VE
mean no dlsparag cement to our auhor) is wor-
thy of particular notice, we mean the reply
TO the animadversions of writer in the Ga
zeite. on the conduct of a certain member of
the Brunswick Convention in support of John
Holiness famous report, 10 which the appel
lation OF Mr.. Doeg was conferred upon our
correspondent. That beautiful piece of
composition, unrivalled in sub,imity and sem
timent, adorned the pages of that respectable
publication about year ago.
The Argus tells us, that Washington COM
manded US, TO frown upon every attempt to
dismember the union. If the editor OF that
paper consulted the interests of the party 1t
is designed to promote, he would have never
made quotation of this kind. For he GER
tainly cannot be ignorant that The bad conduct
of the democratick party, called forth that
sentiment from his pen.
We are told from The same source, that Pr,
Madison supported the constitution when tlrst
formed. True, but he afterwards joined with
its opposers. Did single federalist, and did
not many democrats, with Patrick Henry al
their head, oppose it at its formation Does
not the distinction between parties owe It's
existence to democratick opposition to the
Federal Constitution

unincorporated societies in each town. II the plan
should be carried into effect these minor societies
VIII communicate to the parent society, the result
OF their observations and experiments. In this way
the general society will become possessed of the
perience of the whole district. This information
wall again be diffused by means of the press and
committees oil correspondence through the commu-
nifty. The general society formed by members from
every part OF the District, and embracing both
practical and scientific farmers will be on the mod
Ell OF the berkshire and Massachusetts societies.
Like them with som legislative aid as will un-
doubtedly be offered, il will distribute premiums for
valuable improvements in agriculture, for the best
specimens Of cattle, sc. We understand that the
legislature, certainly with the most judicous lib
crafty, has made annual grants to the two soce-
ties in the western part Of the state to the am QUIT
of 1899 dollars. One half of this amount would
put funds into the hands of the society sufficient
for all IFS purposes.
Should this system oe eventually carried into ex-
ecution it hardly fail to be productive Of very
important benefits 10 this District. 1t is probable
indeed that the minor societies may not all be
equally jealous, all contribute in an equal de-
gree to the general objects. But we will venture
to predict that their joint efforts will be speedily
and sensbly felt. Some societies on the proposed
plan, have, as we informed been already estab-
Iished, and promise from the visible effects of their
exertions TO equal the most sangune expectations.
| Certainly the chances of advantage will warrant
| the experiment. The agricultural capabilities OF
the District are yet but imperfectly understood
They are far beyond what is generally imagined,
and if they are fully developed and made known
the current of emigration which has Of late been
SO strongly setting tothe west would in part at
least be diverted TO the east.
