Tnr AGRICULTURAL AssecIAT1oN.-Wo
have before stated that the Agricultural Asso-
cation holds its annual meeting, for the cleo
N of officers, and the arrangements Of such
preliminary matters as are necessary for the
ensuing year, in this city, on Monday, 9th De-
cember next. The day is near at hand, and
it is already full time those who expect to be
present on the occasion and who think they
can suggest anything for the good Of the IN
e%,itution, should be putting their ideas in prop
err shape. Our object in abiding TO the sub
ice, so frequently, cannot be mistaken; 1t IS
to extend az widely as possible q knowledge
Of The event, so as TO give an opportunity tor
a general attendance. We should like to see
every parish in the state represented at this
meeting; and the deliberations prosecuted in
such a ml1ner as to insure the Association
hereafter against the evils Of constitutional
provisions 50 defective that no other argument
can be urged in mitigation OF the sin OF their
adoption, than that it was done in haste.
Such, indeed, il the fact, regarding the pre-
sent constitution and bylaws of the assocla-
ton; they were adopted in haste, because SO
little expectation was felt Of the success of
the enterprise, that gentlemen appeared to
think they were performing, at the same mo-
ment, the first and last rites to an unfortunate
abortion, which, the sooner gotten through
with, the better.
Recent occurrences, have however, de-
monstrated the error Of this view. It. has
been proved that louisianians are not so dead
to all sense Of state pride, so blind to their
true interests, 50 mircd in the deep-planted
footsteps Of their ancestry, as was supposed
The late fair abundantly proved this; and tur-
Their proved, too, the truth Of our former as
serious respecting the benefits which Baton
Rouge will certainly realize from this under
taking. No other individuals in the state,
perhaps, have so good reasons for lending the
association q helping hand, as have the den'-
zens Of this city; and We shall henceforth ex-
pect TO see them engage in it, IS IN a work
calculated for their benefit alone.
For ourselves we now feel confident OF the
ultimate success Of the institution, and shall
labor necessarily to give it strength and make
it useful. The advancement Of Louisiana by
improvements in agriculture and public edaca-
,ion-is hencelorth our motto. The cause
MAY he found dry in the bf ginning, but those
who embrace it manfully, will find it to m
cre,se rapidly in interest and beauty as they
proceed.
We again urge planters at a distance, and
in the adjoining parishes, not to fail to attend
the meeting on the 9th December. Editors Ct
newspapers will do the association a favor BY
noticing the meeting, inducing their friends
n attend il. and being present themselves.

Yes, because they have attempted il by
