Gov. wright's address at nlmira.

Our State Agricultural Society were more
than usually fortunate in their selection Of
orator for the late State Fair at Elmira. Gov
WgIGHT's Address is model one for such
an occasion-alike adapted to the farmer, the
mechanic, and the citizen Of every Glass;
The following extract is peculiarly appropri-
ate to the "Fire-side Department. of the
COUNTRY GENTLEMEN. No thoughtful per-
son, whether man or woman, can fail 10 have
their views of home and home Influences

men,
Governor j. A. Wright, of Indiana, deliv-
cred the annual address, which is very good.
The subject Of the address was the cultiva-
tion of grasses. The annual value of the
grass crops was stated at three hundred mil
lions Of dollars He told the farmers to plant
several varieties Of grass, and they would
find it would pay well. He alluded to the
formation Of the earth from chaos its prep
aration for production. and the Divine COM
mandment LET the earth bring forth grass q
He then proceeded to treat on the following
subjects as most important to farmers
Firstly, the proper cultivation, saving and
selection of grass crops, as essential to the
raising of good stock of cattle.
Secondly-The sowing of different de
scriptions of grasses, as suited to different
portions of the continent, and the portions OF
farm which should be laid out in pasture
and meadow lands.
Thirdly-The necessity of good grass, a
good stock, and plenty of proper manures to
a farmer.

to enable the farmer to improve his farm

Fifthly-Enlightened agriculture elevates

Sixthly-Full protection BY the govern
ment to all struggling communities, so that

The Governor laid all the panics aboui

as the snrest basis of sound government, and

woman,s Rights Convention.

The State Convention Of those who advo-
cate additional rights for women again assem-
bled yesterday morning at Washington Hall,
at 10. O'Clock The President Mrs EMMA
B. SwANK, of Henry county, who by the bye
is beautiful woman of considerable merits
as a speaker and great wit, called the meet
ing to order. After which the minutes of the
preceding day and evening were audibly read
by Mrs. MARY b. BaIDRALI The minutes as
prepared by her were much better than those
Of three-fourths Of the men secretaries Of pub
lie meetings
The first speaker introduced was Mrs.
FRANCES d. GAGE, of ST. Louis, who address
ed the audience for fifteen or twenty minutes
in favor of equal rights to woman. She is an
intelligent lady, and barring some extreme
notions on slavery and the ism she advocates,
it was fine effort.
Mrs. ERSEsTINE L. Rose, of New York
city, but a native of Poland, next addressed
the Convention, and though we do not accord
with the peculiar doctrines which she adj
vanced, especially that of in6delitv, we will
do her the Justice to say that she IS in every
sense true orator, her voice being full and
melodious and not, in the least, marred by a
slight foreign accent Her gestures were in
themselves eloquent, and well snited to the
language employed.
Both of these ladies spoke at intervals, foi
a few moments afterwards, as did, also, the
fair President, Mrs. SwASK, who made some
pointed and witty hits at the masculine por
ton of humanity
JoE BAEKER, again held forth, but he
showed the part of wisdom in holding hack
his remarks until near the hour of noon. To
say the least he IS decided bore, and had ht
not smoothed over his untimed and diztaste-
ful remarks, by afterward singing the song o
"a good time coming he wonld have beer
so voted by desertion Of his hearers.
The meeting then adjourned till 2 O'Clock
Pm.
The proceedings were continued in th,
afternoon aud evening, addresses being mad,
by Mrs. LUoRETA MoTr, Mrs. RosF ant
Mrs. GAGE A series Of resolutions wer
adopted favoring the right Of women to vote
hold Office and enter into all the various ave
. nues of trade and business the same as men
and claiming for her equal rights with mel
as TO property.
The next meeting will be held at Win
chester next October.

THANKSGIVING Day.

The year 1856 has been most bountiful
one to the industrious and the thrifty. The
earth has brought forth an abundance, the
productions of the mechanic have met with
remnnerative sales, the merchant has dispos-
ed of his wares to good advantage, aud all
trades and callings have prospered, and com
munity has been relieved from financial en-
barassment.
We have abundant cause to he thankful to
a kind Providence for His benilicent gifts, and
as custom has ordained that one day in the
year should be set apart for Thanksgiving
and PRAYER, the Governor has designated
Thursday the 29th of November for that
purpose. The Proclamation will be found

A NOV seeret sooiety.

An intelligent correspondent Of the Ohio
Statesman says:
We hear of a ne,o secret society being formed
in the northern part Of Ohio, composed Oi
Negroes and Abolitionists 1t is named the
"Universs.l Suffrage League Association" =
Is design is to operate on the ensuing Abo-
lition Legislature, to procure the passage oi
measures endowing negroes with the rights
of holding Office and voting. 1t is under the
peculiar patronage of the Chase men. A fur
ther object is to encourage by secret agents
the escape Of slaves into ONO, and to thwart
the entife operation cf the laws ~ the Union
for <heir <1endszion These measures afe'
deemed necessary BIZ the negroes aud the Alb
olitionists, to render Chase's election a prac-
teal reality, and not an empty triumph.
Had Black Republicanism riumphed this
year in Indiana, we would have had organi-
zations among US similar to that described
above, but adversely is great teacher, and
we shall hereafter hear but little, in Unior-
loving Indiana, of secret political societies, OF
whatever shade or color The machinery
don't work we'll
But while we have not such instrumental
tiles to perfect systematic organization, we
have still left among us the poisonous ele-
msnts which brought them into being, and
nurtured them through sickness unto death.
The leading spirits of those secret Organiza-
tions which have been condemned by the
people are yet active in their evil work.
Many Of them, whilst acting in opposition to
the Democratic party, (the only party to first
wrestle with Know Nothingism,) with can't
ing and hypocrisy, speak disrespectfulIy and
sometimes even contemptuously Of secret po-
litical societies. They do not denOunce the
principles of Know Nothingism, however, for
these they adore, but they think it would
have been an excellent organization had not
corruption crept into it and destroyed it.
Let the good people "put not their trust in
princes and listen not, to the syren song OF
those who have so recently figured as Cap
tains in Know Nothing lodges. The honest
electors have decided not only against them
but against their anti-republican principles
and the foul and Proscriptive organization
which. by secrecy, endsavored TO carry them
into successful operation.

letter from Mr. Handy sof Baltimore. euIos,i-
sing the Republic OF Liberia. was real and ere
ated much excitement. The Philadelphia Sun
thus reports the scene that followed:
Several members expressed themselves as de-
'ennined to have their rights on this soil on
which they were born. and never would they
aid the cause of colonization.
Mr. Dowing, of Connecticut. spoke against
the cause of colonization. concluding his re-
marks by motion 10 treat the letter with a
contempt never perhaps heard of before viz
to burn it and on this motion demanded the
previous question. The motion to burn was
agreed to by large majority
Several voices were now heard at this point
Burn it on a stake" Here are matches,
Burn the letter and SINCE The writer"
Among those who voted against the resolution
was Fred Douglass.
MI. Dell said those who had voted to burn the
letter would lynch him if they could; yes, they
would cut his throat.
Rev. Stephen Smith thought that the DISPOSE
tion of the letter was unchristianlike and unpre-
cedented. He had hoped that the members of
the Convention would have been guided BY a
better spirit than to have passed such resoIu-
ton.
Resolutions were adopted recommending the
Massachusetts law throwing opeu the public

This anecdote, if anecdote it may be term
| ed, is called to mind by re-reading of the
letter addressed by HENRY A. WISE, not
long since, to Committee of Boston men,
inviting that gentleman to deliver lecture on
the subject of Slavery at FREMONT TEMPLE,
at such time as he might be willing 10 des-
igaase. This most rcnnarkable rro5luction
displays very vividly some Of the more prom
inent characteristics of the Governor of Vir-
ginia, a,-charaeteristics, many of which are
an honor to human nature, hut among none
of which can be classed that rascaVg virtue
prudence"
Mr.. WIsE'S letter, to say the least of il
and the best by it we possibly can, is disre-
spectlul, and unbecoming of the great intel
lacf from, ,r hi,.h IN ar,anata. III. III l.

proud and Independents men, and offer some
excuse for indiscretion and recklessness but
the absence of all generosity. supplied
by a weak proscriptive prejudice, accompa-
MED by an utter want of gallantry, are fea-
lures of his composition, in the instance
cited, very disreputable, add for which we
are able to offer no apology.
The invitation extended to Mr. WISE en-
anatcd from the seat of Literature aud
Science, and in itself, from the very charac-
ter of the surrounding circumstances, dis
played the existence of conservative spirit
and a charitableness of sentiment which a
true Southern man should have met with
cordiality, and acknowledged as compli-
ment to the class of opinions of which he is
supposed to be an embodiment. There is a
conservative element in Boston, notwith-
standing the whirlpool of fanaticism which
surrounds it, which commands the attention
and the admiration of the rejecting public.
The "Solid Men" of that city are powerful
in the intellect and influence they embody (;
they are lovers Of the constitutional compact
between the Statesmen who revere the
memory of WEBSTER and CLAY, and who
now vindcate the doctrines of CAss and the
principles of Democracy.
We like those sturdy "solid men, n,"-all Na-
tionai men from every section of this Union,
must be pleased with the nerve and the NOR
al courage which sustains them. Feeling
then, as we do, that these persons are, in re-
ality, tho larger portion of those that are in
suited by the thoughtlesS letter of Mr..
Wise, we are persuaded that he deserves, at
least, slight rebuke at the hands Of our
party

The CLERGY AND THE PRoHIBIroRy LAW.
The ChHrch journal, the abest organ of
the Episcopal Church, edited by John ii.
Hopkins, Jr., sonof Bishop Hopkins, of Yer
mont, assisted by several other Episcopal
clergymen, has published a striking article
on the folly and fanaticism of the prchibitory
law. 1t argues that everything is good, if
used in moderation; that the aim and end Of
It's supporters is a bad one; that it is folly in
the extreme to attempt to remedy evilsof ex-
cess by forbidding altogether the moderate
use of things that in themselves are produc-
tive of benefits; that the wine used at the
supper in Cana, of Gallillee, and all other
wines mentioned in the Scriptures, were in
toxicatng, and that the hand of the Almighty
rested not upon their use, but their abuse
that wine-drinking is not the worst of social
evils, but Gas we have often said,) gluttony
far exceeds it; that il is nonsense to prohibit
bad liquors to the healthy, and allow them to
the sick, &c. The Church Journal deals a
severe blow. Its article viii shock the IA
natics; but the argument is marked by ster-
ling good sense throughout.
