RIcHLAND FARMERS CLuB.-In
company with Majors Joy and Ham
ilton we attended the second Annual
Fair and Exhibition of the Richland
Farmers Club yesterday, which was
held on the premises of their Secre-
tary Mr.. Isaac H. Page.
The day was exceedingly unfa-
vorable; nevertheless a respectable
number ofpeople were in attendance,
and the showing of Agricultural pro-
ducts, live stock and poultry, was
highly creditable.
The members of the club brought
their baskets filled with provisions
which were spread out on long ia
BILE in the grove, in most bounte-
ourrepast.
Too much credit cannot be given
to Page, and the other active men,
bers of this club for putting it on a
successful footing.

And now the handwriting on the
wall warns them that they arc
weighed in the balance and found
wanting The republican party
stands today with its ranks broken,
divided, distra :tcd, blasted, and
the scepter of power has passed from
it forever. But this is no cause of
sorrow, for the sooner this party is
scattered to the four winds of heav-

trow the eyes Of the people, and they

Jeremy Bentham says 1.-THE pco-
pie cannot be to dlstrustful Of their
rulers'' - When the American peo-
pie learn that men and parties are
nothing unless based on principle,
and that whether under republican
or democratic dynasty, we have thc
same rcsults--they will awake to the
responsibility of self-sovernment
AS we turn over the pages Of his
tory, we can see how other nations,
groaning under taxation, ignorance
and poverty, have been dcluded,
blinded and destroyed, without
dream that we ourselves are to-
day the thoughtless victims Of sci.
fish and crafty rulers who think only
of their own agerandizement. just
as Rome, with fetes and fcasts, with
holidays and deadly combats bc-
tween man and beast, and gladiato-
rial exhibitions in crowded amphi-
thcaters turned the people $ thoughts
from their own wrongs--So do our
rulers to-day, with caucusses, con
ventions, campaigns, impeachmant
trials and the coarse brutality of
the press and politicians, amuso the
people, degrade the public taste, and
destroy the virtue of the nation.-
Unthinking leaders infame the
North against all rebcldom, and
damn every man who dares put in a
plea for JUSTICE and mercy to the
South, with TIE unmcauing name Of
'coppcrhead.' - To rouse the poo-
pies wrath they point them to the
bones Of their brave sires and sons
bleaching on all those Southern
plains. forgetting that with their
own hands they built that sepu|chrc

The chain that held the black boy
in the everglades Of Florida and the
slave girl in New Orleans market

New England's sons and Daughters.
Through our avarice and seltishness

lies bleeding and dcsolatc to-day
Blame not the South, but our own
constitutions, creeds and codes.
But while We ended with the
sword a slavery of brute force, and
overturned the Southern oligarchy,
by cunning legislation we have sub
stituted another form of slavery in
our new system of finance. In our
national debt and taxation. We have
placed the whole labor Of the coun-
try at the mercy Of the monicd ar
istocracy of banks. bond holders and
land monopolists. Having jnst cs-
capped from the yoke Of 100, 900 slave
holders, we are about to bow our
neeks to the yoke of400, 900 bond
holders. Flushed with conquest,
these High Art Swindlers' have
bought up the nation S virtue and
chokcd our prophets who have dared
to speak.
