T. G. Mosely, of Bedford, favored per-
manent organization and spoke in CLOWN 9
terms of the good which will result to Ten
nessee farmers if they will lay aside little
differences and unite in one common
cause.
Col. @. w. Charlton, Chairman of the
Committee on Constitution and Bylaw,
then presented the following report:
PREAMBLE.
Whereas, Agriculture is the great basis
Of subsistence and of national wealth, enti-
tied to paramount importance and rank, by
virtue Of numbers employed and amount OF
property invested; and, whereas, this most
ancient pursuit has Jagged behind many
other industries in progress and improve
ment, especially in the South, since the CEN
sus Of 1870 and statistics collected since
Prove that agriculture is less rewarded for
the amount Of work done by man and beast
than any other labor in the United States;
and, whereas, this deficiency in compansa-
ton for farm labor actually performed is
due, not to any natural defects IN our crops,
grain, cotton, tobacco, grass and hay, nor to
our soil and Climate, nor to any affection of
providence, 1t must arise from errors in our
sestem OF farming and planting, intimately
connected with the character of our
field labor, with our remoteness from
market and the cost of transportation. to-
gether With the heavy percentage for haul
ing our produce, this with depreciation

orally; and whereas valuable statistics show
that our farming lands pay only one per
cent interest at low valuation, that their
market price has deprecated for several
years, and is still falling, due to heavy taxa
ton and the tendency of the age to make
land pay all the taxes, ana unless we can
anest this downward tendency, it must erd
in our ruin; and whereas the landed inter-
est and the labor interest of Tennessee
make the State all that it is or ever can be,
it is the duly of every m n, who owns an
acre of its soil, or ever expects to own one,
to unite with bis whole mind and heart
with every other land holder or laborer in a
common effort to remove this great Ell; and

The Conservative press Of the State insist
that every one who does not throw up his
hat aud huzza for the leaders of that party,
belongs to the ''negro party That was the
very ip the last campaign. Yet we cannot
see that any body's the hlaoker for voting
against Greeley or that the colored element
has one whit changed its relations to the

warning that the election Of Grant would be
the death knell to Republican institutions.

MUSIC OF THE SEA-sMExsA;S.

n
The orb Of day is sinking
Slowly in the west.
THE lingering rays are lying
On the oceans breast.
Darkness gathers silently,
Day fades into night,
One by one the stars appear,
Twinkling all so bright.
The silyery moon is shining,
Brightly down each
Ofthe beautiful sea- shells,
Lying on tItsfbeach.
But bark! what sounds are rising
Softly from the grounds
lis the music of the shells
Scattered thickly round.
Soft liquid strains are stealing, ~
Tsa On the cool night air,
Now they rise and die away
'Mong tbs heavens clear.
All the shells ere singing,
Plaintiye notes arise
In soft and low melcdous strains
Far, unto the skies.
A dark, black cloud arises
Covering the moon,
Tie shells have ceased their music,
Day is coming soon.
