The next toast was The PresS-the emblem and

and Horace Greeley responded.
The last sentiment gwen was, The City OF New
York TO which Recorder Talmadge briefly re-
sponded and concluded by moving that the com
pany DO now adlourn-and 1t being Just one
O'Clock. II agreed To without calling the
yeas and nays-and while some sought their
homes the remainder repaired to the ballroom,
TO Join those who had been enjoying them
selves IN a different pastime than listening TO
agricultural speeches-ndeed the bent in that dlrec-
ton was displayed at an early hour IN the evening.
Shortly after one o'clock Senator Douglass hay
ing Just arrived by the cars was introduced TO the
company He looked remarkable well for a SICK
man he LEFT about two O'Clock, and the entire party
broke up IN about an hour afterwards.
by previous Dispatch we had received the fol-
loving extracts from Judge Douglass address, of
which our pre- sent correspondent says nothing.
Senator DouGLAss Address contained many valua-
bic suggestions With regard TO the connection be-
tween agriculture and commerce, he remarked as
follows
The growth of our country Is marked by the ad-
yancement Of agriculture. Agriculture IS settling
our new States and Territories agriculture gives
employment TO our workshops agriculture furnishes
the products which form the basis of our foreign and
domestic commerce agriculture, by supplying the
bulky articles of our exports. employs the tunnage
of our builders and In seeking markets Tor It's
increased products, calls for the construction OF
Railroads and Canals The farms of Western New
York demanded the construction of the Enc Canal,
and the farms of The Western States now call for
its enlargement. As the Western States and Terri
torres become settled and agricultural products dc-
cumuate new Railroads and Canals become neceS-
sary TO furnish means of transportation to the sea
board The West Is DESTROYS of securing every ave
nue. to the sea II requires the navigation of the
Mississippi and OF the ~. Lawrence, the Canals OF
New York. PENNSYLVANIA. OHIO Indiana and Illinois,
and all the Railroads constructed or IN process
Of construction from the sea coast to the Mississippi
VALLEY And all these facilities Will yet prove insult
fcent to form adequate outlets for the constantly
cumulating products of the Western farmers. New
lines of communication will be called into existence
and II is extremely doubtful whether the capital ana
enterprise of the country Will be able to keep pace
with the increased demands for internal improve
mens.
Thus agriculture stimulates every species OF in
dusiry and the parent and supporter OF them all
What | would ask. would be the present condition
of our foreign commerce. had II not been stimulated
by the increased productions OF agriculture what
the condition of our mercantile navy, IN steamers
and sailing ships already outstrppng that of the first
maritime nation Of the globe II Is the bulky pro
ducts of agriculture that make up frelghts, AM fur
nlSh the principal portion OF our foreign exchanges
He discussed the evaporation Of Breadstutis al
considerable length
At one time. IN the history of our country, gen
eral impression prevailed that we should never be
able TO expor, wheat and flour to Europe. The DIS
lance from European markets, the cost otnansporta-
ton interest on capital insurance, ali were Inquired
I'D against US. 10 show that competition with the
wheat growers Of Europe was entirely out OF the
question, and that we must conhne our export OF
breadstuis to the British North American Colonies,
the West Indies and South America THIS error,
however has been corrected by experience. With
out including our large exports during the famine
wear, when We were almost the only sellers III the
markets of Europe, our exports show respectable
increase IN ordinary years oI means OF tTansporla-
ilon have improve production has become cheaper,
distances have been shortened by the saving OF time.
and IN spite of all the mgubrous propheSlee OF our
croakers We find our farmers competing with the
principal wheat-growers OF Europe IN their own
markets American breadstufs have gained per
manent foothold in the principal markets OF the
world and our wheat flour Is quite as great favor
tie In Mark Lane as any other species OF the same
article imported into England. Occasional huctua-
tions in prices-in particular years of large crops
must of course be submitted 10 IN the trade OF all agr-
cultural staples but these Will be met, and their
influences guarded against, by frugal, industrious
people.
But while in the trade of wheat and -four We meet
with powerful rivals IN the North and South OF EI-

extent, left almost without competition, save that
which proceeds from the offer Of cheaper and ine-
nor substitutes. We can furnish good provisions
al lower rates than any other country the globe
and Indian corn has no longer any other real COM
pettor IN Brush markets than the now uncertain
crops OF potatoes With this view OF the subject,
YOU will pardon me If at proceed 10 the con-
Sideraiion OF that important American staple
