The social angel, when he descended to converse
with men, broke bread with the lusbandmzn be-
meath the tree. Tremendous applause.
[At this moment, Mr.. VAN buren, appeared
and took his sea; with the officers and other gen.
tlemen upon the platform. He was received with
the warmest enthusiasm, and it was some time
before silence was restored so as to enable Mr..
Bancroft to proceed.
Thus the farmers mind is exalted; his princi.
pies stand as firm as your own Highlands; his
good seeds flow like selEmoying waters. Yet III
his connection with the human race, the farmer
never loses bis patriotism. He loves America
is The depository of her glory and the guardian
of her freedom. He builds monuments to great.
ness, and when destiny permits, he also achieves
heroic deeds in the eyes of his race. The soil
of New York, which he bas beauiiicd BY his
culture, is consecrated in the victories III which
he shared. Earth | bow in Icgerence, for my
eyes behold the ground with the blood Of rustic
martyrs, and hallowed by the tolnbs of former
heroes Where is the land to which their fame
has not been borne? Who docs not know ilc
tole of the hundred battle fields of New York?
Not a rock juts out from the highlands, but the
minds eye sees inscribed upon it a record of
deeds of glory. Not a blade Of grass springs at
Saratoga, but takes TO itself a tongue to proclaim
the successful valor of patriotic husbandmcn.
(Applause.)
Here the name of Schuyler, the brave, the
generous, the mistaken patriot, shall long be re-
membered; the Jealous, reliable, George Gin
ton, a man of soundest heart, a soul of honesty
and honor, a dear lover Of his country and Of
freedom. Nor do we forget him--the gallant
Montgomery-twin martyr with Warren-who
leit his tarm on the Hudson, not, as it proved, 10
conquer Quebec, but TO win a mightior victory
over death itself. (Cheers.)
renew that theme once more, 70 recount how
the farmers of New York have served their coun.
try and mankind. They were invested with
sovereignty; and they abdicated. Glorious ex-
ample Highest triumph of disinterested JUS
lice They themselves peacefully and public
y renounced their exclusive authority, and trans
Tered power in this republic from lis territory TO
lis men. (Applause.) May your institutions,
under the spirit of improvement, be perpetual.
May every pure influence gather round your le-
.gislation.--May your illustrious example show to
the world the dignity Of labor the shame that
lights on idleness; The honor that belongs TO toll.
To the end of time, be happiness the compan-
ion of your busy homes, and the plough eves be

The farmer is independent. With the me-
|chanic and manufacturer as his allies, he makes
our country safe against foreign foes, for it ba
comes perfect byits own resources. All Amer
lea, thanks, to New York, is united in the bonds
of internal commerce; our exchanges at home
exceed our foreign traffic; and we're our ships
driven from the ocean highways of The world,
America has become competent to sustain her
self. She has less 10 fear from war than any ma
ton in the world. She may pursue her career,
and ylndicate her rights and call forth all her en-
ergies in conscious security. Applause. But
why do | say this? To foster a spirit of def.
ance? Far otherwise. Let us rejoice in our
Strength but temper it with tho gentleness and
spirit Of love for all mankind--a love that shall
perpetuato tranquility, and leave the boundless
and rapidly increasing resources of the country
at liberty for IFS further development.
Forests of New York ! under the hands Of
skill, shape yourselves into models of Naval Ar
.chitecturc, and 90 forth upon the seas to econ
Gle inequalities Of climate, and confirm the
brotherhood Of nations.-Amcrican IDEAS shall
travel on your prows and the genius of humans
Ity guide your helm; while we who remain at
home will water the tree of peace, so that lis
roots shall strike TO the very heart Of the earth,
and IFS branches tower 10 the heavens: we will
so nurture and protect it, that its verdurc shall be
perennial, that no spirit of aninosity shall sway
lis branches, that not even a whisper of discord
shall rustic in its topmost boughs. Enthusias-
tic applause.
One word more and | have done. Bat with
that last word, | am about to address, though
but in imagination, the assembled people OF New
York. II is a tale often repeated, that to DO
honor to agriculture, the Emperor of China, is,
himself accustomed in the spring-time of every
year, to hold the plough and turn a lurrow. In
der our republican institutions, far more is ACHE
we'd. The Stale itself includes, and is in the
greatest measure constituted by lis farmers.
They themselves are the king that holds tho
plough and drive the team every day in the
year. [Applause The whole commonwealth
watches over the farmer. This Society performs
its office as the agent of the people. They are
assembled at our fair, to view with honest exul-
tation the products of the farms and workshops,
and single out this occasion alone, on a~gricultu
raj pursuits to award public honors 10 exalted
merit. 1t is right, therefore, to assume that the
Empire Slate itself is present in your midst.
TAT this moment a sudden alarm was created
by the settling of the stage, which was closely
crowded. There was a crashing sound, and the
whole appeared 10 be giving way. Mr. Van Blu
rem was the first to spring up, aud beg all 10 DO
quiet, as there was no danger. Mr.. Bancroft inn
mediately turned it of very happilyl--"Yes 2 he
repeated, "the Empire State is ii your midst,
and when she is here with the broad shield of
her parental protection over our heads, no evil
and no danger can belal any Of us--no, not even
