-,I-ation in vour columns the following

utilization in your columns, the following
EXAMPLE and resolutions, unanimously
adopted at their last meeting on June %,
1878, viz:
WHEREAS, The uncohtrovertible TACT
that the numerous evils and abuses under |
which the agricultural interests of the ma
ton, together with those in sympathy with |
them, ARE now suffering, have been allowed |
10 grow up under the domination OF the
political party which for the past Is years
has had exclusive and perfect control of
national affairs, with ample power TO cor
rect them il il had so desired or intended,
is 10 our minds the most conclusive evi-
dence that it has no such desire or inten-
| ton and,
WHEREAS, The opposite party during
all this time has failed in any platform of
principles it has adopted to clearly enun-
ciate, and to unreservedly pledge itself TO
the support Of those from which alone re-
lief can be offered; and,
| WHEREAS, We deem 1t absurd for those
suffering abuses to look for the correction
of the same either to those who have es-
tablished and are protiting by them, or to
those who dare not openly denounce and
oppose them but on the contrary are CON
WINGED that the suppression of the evils
will soonest be accomplished by the sup
| preston of the scources from which they
, have originated and of the parties by which
they are being fostered and protected:

% tative necessity for the correction of exist

I, dangerous enactments which have beer
