every man within Tennessee who takes
any interest in horticulture.
NASHVILLE, December, 1867.
I'e the Citizens of Tennessee:
This Association, having for its object
the improvements the cultivation of Fruits
Flowers and Vegetables-the introduction
into this State ofNew varieties aud spe-
cies, and the diffusion of Information that
will be best calculated to produce this re-
sult-desires to SO enlarge the sphere Of its
action as not only to increase its influence
and usefulness, but to give it more impor-
lance and weight than any other of the
same nature in this country.
The great importance of Tennessee as a
fruit-growing State, and its adaptation for
gardening purposes, is just beginning to
be realized. With view to awaken the
people of the entire State to this new and
important interest, the Legislature has
granteda charter authorizing this Society
to organize an Auxiliary Society 10 each
county in the State, to act in concert in de-
veloping these productions.
The stated meetings of the Society are
held here on the first Saturday of each
month. AS soon as arrangements are per-
fected premiums will be offered for the
best Vegetables, Fruits, Plants and Flow
ers presented for exhibition at these meet
ings, and at the annual exhibition to be
held in either August or September ofeach
year.
In order to increase the value of pre-
miums, and make it an object fol. compe-
petition from every source, it is proposed
that each Auxiliary Society contribute a
fund to be offered in the rame Of the COun-
ty in which said Society may be formed
for premiums. The committee for estab-
fishing premiums shall be created by one
representative from each Society contribut.
ing, who will meet in this city at the time
of holding the annual exhibitions, regard
being had at the same time to reports of
productions exhibited at the monthly meet
ings in their season, Should it be deemed
advisable, another fund may be created for
the purchase aud distribution among the
various Societies, of Seeds, Plants, Scions,
Trees. Roofs, etc., in proportion to the
sums contributed.

What we Propose.

Our party reorganizes in Tennessee on a
basis-of measures, not men-wide enough
to take in all who cannot accept the politi-
cal status proposed for us for Brownlow-
ism. 1t does not call itself Conservative
party. because we do not propose to con-
serve or preserve the present condition of
affairs. 1t does not call itself Union par
ty. for the reason that the question of Union
has been fought and decided by the sword.
But it assumes the title of Democratic, be-
cause it is the party of the people-large
enough to embrace within its folds all Con-
servative and true Union men-catholic
enough to make them willing to accept the
name.
Primarily, It's object is to luculcate by
word and deed, obedience to, reverence for,
and the maintenance of the Constitution.
Secondly to join hands with our North
ern brethren, to consult with them, and to
take such place in the national contest next
year, as may be assigned US.
Ultimately, to secure for ourselves, the
right of local selt-government, in both mu-
nicipal and State affairs.
In this spirit and With these objects, the
Democratic party must be reorganized. not
in Tennessee only, but throughout the
South, at an early day. we would like to
see our brethren further South moving in
the matter. If there be ought Of political
efficiency in organization. we must organ.
lie as Democrats. At present there are
but two national paties-Democrats and
NegrOcrats. Next year there is likely to
be third-the Bondocrats, stealing the
white mans plank from the Democrats and
the National credit" plank from the Ne
grOcrats. But we of the South have no
more interest in elevating the bOudholder
than the negro and therefore We must
stand by the Democracy on both the issues
that it has presented to the country Ga
! zette.
