Our AGRICuLTUEE The country enumer.
ates a, present not far from sixteen millions OF
white population. According TO the census,
the entire number of individuals employed IN
manufactures and the mechanic arts, is less
than five hundred thousand. Commerce en-
ploys much less number still, and 1t we allow
one and ahalf millions, to be emp Dyed in mer-
camille operations, which in all probability 10
a lage estimate, we shall have for agricultural
employmehts the overpowering number Of Tour
teen millions and hslf. Now what, we in
quue, is wanting but intelligence and proper
respect for their calling on the part OF the til
ers Of the sill, to render agriculture honorable!
With the requisite quantum Of intelligence and
self respect on their part, all that could be re |
qnisi,e under any or every modification Of cir.
cumstances, would follow as an inevitable re.
suit. We hope all, all who are interested IN
the cultivation Of the soil, will duly ponder
these things.-U. 8 Jour.
