AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

Experience has demonstrated The fact beyond Il
doubt that assoc@ tons Of farmers and mechanics,
properly regulated, highly useful; and associa-
tons of all kinds that manIestly confer benefits
upon those composing them, greater than the evil
or trouble attending them, should be fostered and
encouraged. But unless the fruits of such societies
are different from those visible at the late Fair in
this town, it is quite apparent that evil rather than
good prepondorales, and that they ought either to
be abandoned or their arrangements so changed as
ensure greater attendance Ofstock and the pre-
senaton of more specimens Of the progress Of hus-
bandry and of the arts, and to avoid the recurrence
of SO many unhappy attending circumstances.
The depreciation of interest IN the Legitimate af
fairs OF the Society from last year, attribute to
the want of system in and the non official charac-
ter of the Association. 1t is wrong in its principles
reorganization, if we understand it. 1t is merely
Il voluntary coming together, without actual mem
bership, and society only in name-without foun
daon-wthout system order or effective arrange
ment Such being the case, (and who that was
present the other day will question il) many who
have been active heretofore to promote its useful
see its radical defects, and the nece ssiy Of a
reorganization, to make it what it ought TO be.
1t is proposed to make up society by actual
membership, and extend its operations to in
cude farms, gardens, &c. and to provide means for
offering premiums for superior excellence in every
branch Of industry, pursued by all who may belong
to the Society II its operations extended TO
farms and gardens committee should visit them
while the crops growi G, and ascertain the man.
ner Of cultivation, &c. and make minute report
at the annual tucetng, of improvements, for the
benefit of others. The idea of membership will
excite greater interest, and each individual will
feel that he is part Of the society, and bound to
do something 10 give it importance, and to extend
its usefulness. With an annual tax of one dollar
upon each member, there is question but that n
sufficient sum might be secured to enable the COM
muee to offer premiums that would in themselves
be oh ects of honorable competition in every branch
Of industry.
With becoming Difference would suggest to
the Committee Of Arrangements the propriety of
meeting soon to be holden, to make some arrangc-
ments preparatory to another season. Rules and
regulations forming the basis of organizations might
be arranged and memberships secured, which
would warrant the Committee in offering premiums
at the proper season, in The spring. We believe
the enterprisins farmers and mechanics would CO.
operate cheerfully with the Committee in any ar
rangements which promise good to human pur.
suits. Caledonia County has within it the matter
for making up Il splendid Society, that ght be
made agent Of great good to every class of her
citizens.

SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC

Some of the Federalists pr4tend 4
believe that the funds Of the G ,nera
Government would not be safe m the
vaults of the Independent Treasury
or, in other, words, in the custody ol
officers appointed to take charge Oft
under various checks and severe penal
ties. We have case 10 point in rela-
ton to this matter, Of the safekeeplng
of the public moneys. Since the esiab-
llshment of the United States Mint, a.
bout 74,0OO,000 Of dollars have been
coined by the public officers under pen
altles and not a dollar has been lost
The Independent T'easury provides the
same security as those which rave made
our min, perfectly secure.

and State Bank system-are very con-

Officers are punished for violations
Of duty by fine and Imprisonment.

When an officer violates his duty, or
