AGRICULTURAL socIETY.-Nc were re-
quested some week or two age by a friend to
the cause, to call the attention Of our ~nlasters
TO the propriety of forming themselves into
an Agricultural Association at Msnroe. Said
association to be composed of such citizens of
Ouachita and the adjoining parishes as might
feel an interest in the matter. II was sugges-
ted that the society when formed be auxiliary
TO the State Society. The utility of such an
Association is SO obvious at the present day
TO every intelligent misd, that it can hardly
be deemed necessary TO use many words in
recommending it. 1t is a well established
fact that where such societies are most nu-
merous and active, agriculture is more yield
ing and productive. in some countries that
have taken the lead in such improvements
twice the population is better supported from
the Same extent of territory, than before such
knowledge had made much progress. In
tsme Of our sister states, where the lands net
originally fertile, had been Worn down BY an
ignorant routine mode of cultivatiou, until CEN
sidered almost worthless, this onward course
Of decay has been arrested by the application
of the modern system OF agriculture, and have !
by a Judicious alteration Of crops, &c, been
brought to . point Of production much superb
or 10 what they ever had been. Aalsng 9TH
or beneficial results Of these Institutions is
the power that the planters have, by united
sentiment aud action, 10 defend their rights
and interests against such combinations and
monopoles as are engaged in taking unfair
advantages and in extortien. Much geed tRs
been done the husbandtnan, in exciting and
encouraging a spirit to excel in the quantity
and quality Of his productions, By holding fairs
for the exhibition of stock, specimens Of agri-
implements of husbandry, &c.

PUBLIC ALTON Of THE SESSION LAWS IN
COUNTY NEWSPAPERS.

An effort was made two three winters ago to have
the laws of each Session published u at least one pa
per in every county, where there is paper printed.
We hope that effort will be renewed lhi, winter. as
would be ofgreat benefit to the people.
1t is the first duty of Government to make such
laws as will protect the rights of community.
The second duty of GoveSnment should be, to make
the people acquainted with the laws.
And the third duty 10 that the laws are enforced.
But how is tl Why the Legislature makes laws, &
and appoints its officers to execute hem without Civ
ing The people halfan opportunity 10 know what the
laws are. Here we think is great fundamental err
ror aud to this may be traced halfthe msdemean-
ors and petty law suits that annually take place. If
the laws were published in county newspapers. you
would spread them before every man, and he would
make himself acquainted with them. AS II is the laws
are violated, and the volaor knows it not, till he is
jerked up for the offence. You would snightsn the
people, and thereby be promoting the true spri. our
institutions. You would improve the public morals
and thereby put down Crime-do away with those
little jealouSes heart burnngs and wrangngs pres
valenti in every community.
But the Legislator, if he is Lawyer, will overlook
all these advantages to society, and say 'Ah that will
not do; it will kill up lawyers, who live and thrive
by our wits, and by getting men at loggerheads with
each othe it will do away with the ofawyers, by
making every man acquainted with the Law" That's
just what is needed; make every man his own lawyer,
and he won't have occasion to 60 to law. Ifthe leg
islator is coed honest farmer he will say it might be
too much expense to the Slate Not at all. The amt.
saved to The State by The decrease Of State cases. in
which the State or county has to pay costs, would in
our opinion more than pay the expense of publication
Of the laws. But were it not se let the legisIa-
ture lay tax the fees ofcouny officers, such as
Clerks Of Courts, Sheriffs, Treasures aud Auditors
We all know the fees of these officers quite bigh
and tax on them sufficient tn print the laws in each
county, would sul give them good living.
Such reform, while it would not add one cent to
the peoples taxes would enlighea them, aud save
great deal Of money now expended in law suits. and
improve the public m9rals in the bargain.
We call the attention of our Brehern Of the press,
as well as the Legislature, 10 the subjsct.

OCCUPATIONS OF LEGISLATORS.

In the Ohio Legislature there are 60 Farmers, 81
Lawyers. 7 Doctors Merchants, S Printers, 2 Sad,
dlers, l Surveyor, Tanner, Iron founder, Gun
Smith, 1 Manufacturer Clerk, miller, Carpenter,
l Halter, and Blacksmith.
With such majority the bone and snew of the
country in the legislative halls the people have little
to fear from corrupt legislation. We doubt whether
any former Legislature ever had many farmers in it.
There are just enough lawyers to do tho talking, and
nough farmers and mechanics to take care of the peo-
