Tennessee Farmers, Convention.


NASHVILLE, September 1.-THE Farmers
Convention reassembled at 9 A. M. Cen
eral w. II. Jackson, upon taking the chair
as president, said he was satisfied that the
present plantation system would be done
away with, and thought the tenant system
would supersede it. He was OF the opinion
that railroads, after the liberal grants given
them, had failed to come up to their
full duty, and railroads of the State,
owned and controlled by non-resi-
dents. not interested in the agriculture
of the State, Disseminated in favor of the
termni of said roads against local freights.
We ask nothing but justice at the hands of
railroads and other industries; we tlisclaim
politics as an organization in toto, but feel
there are questions of vital importance to
the whole country which will come up be-
fore us for consideration.
Resolutions were adopted regarding the
adoption of the principles of the Patrons
of Husbandry as the most efficient mode of
relieving farmers of the grievances now
expressing them, and recommending the
study of those principles to the farmers of
the State, and, if approved, the Organiza-
tion of oranges wherever practicable.
The afternoon session was devoted to the
thorough discussion of questions of vital
Importance to every farmer in the State
The convention adjourned to meet on the
first Tuesday in September next at Nash
