MIR. cameron,s Address.

We commence in to-da.'s paper, the publi-
cation Of the address Of P. G. Cameron, esq,
delivered at the Orange County Agricultural
Fair in October last il will be completed IN
the two or three succeeding numbers. The
Society have ordered one thousand copies to DO
printed in pamphlet form for The use Of the
members, the circulation Of which, we presume,
will confined principally to Orange. BY irans-
ierring il to our columns, larger circle Of read
ers viii have the benefit Of perusal Particu-
.Iarly our Alamancc friends, among whom our
paper has pretty extensive circuldtion- almost
as large as in this county.
We have heretofore expressed the high cstl-
mate formed of this excellent address by those
who heard il delivered and Pcrusal Of il will
fully con ilrn the correctness Of that Judgment.
As pointed and practical address-painly and
candidly stating the errors, shortcomings, and,
we may add. follics which have prevailed, and
still prevail among our people and at The same
time Indicating the remedy--we have rarely
met with its equal, and, We believe, never with
one that surpassed it. The Society viii do
good work in placing i IN a permanent form.
i should he carefully read By the present gcnc-
ration, and BY their children after them.
