The present meeting Of the Society has,
manifested TO its friends that future of
great consequence is before il. AS representative
of the interests Of American Agriculture, and es-
pecially owing to the influence talent, and deter
mined effort Of the gentlemen who have taken its
interests to heart it has assumed an importance
most gratifying TO its projectors. Seeing the VIC
tory that even now perchesupOn its banners many
of our prominent politicians, and even the Presl-
dent Ct the United States, have been anxious to
offer their cOuntenance; and rs practical farmer,
/ cannot but congratulate my brother laborers at
the pow that we shall not long have to complain
of an unjust fostering OF the interests of commerce
and manufactures to the neglect of AGRICULTURE.
We do not know our power, we do not act in unity,
and as q class we are opposed 10 reform IN the
practice Of our calling; how then if we thus con-
tiDue in an inactOn unworthy of u.s. should We hope
for Governmental patronage or'pubic respect
The action of the Discretionary Premium Com
mittee will undoubtedly do great things for our
manufacturers and farmers. They have decided
upon holding their trial of implements in cOnjunc-
ton with the show at Louisville, Ky, with the ex
ception Of the reapers and mowers for which
separate trial will be held at the appropriate season.
We have been promised a copy Of their circular as
soon as published, and will make it known TO the
readers of THE TRIBUNE.
BY typographical error it is made to appear
that the Society have fifteen dollars in the treasury,
it should be twenty-five hundred.
