The farmers' vindicator. (Jackson, Miss.) 1873-1???, 1874-06-19

genious of our Order speaks in tonel
louder than the trumpets of scripture
memory, and proclaims, God forbic
that it should be SO.
| With no contracted spirit, but witt
an eye whose retina has sufficient ca
pacity to embrace every section, State
and county, Of this broad land, it will
with the talismanic touch Of its soul
inspiring spirit, infuse into it's varied
ramifcations, the genious Of progress
improvement, and development.
Whilst it teaches the wisdom Of com
combination, and illustrates the benefit
of unity of action-whilst it wages an
memorable war upon monopolies, and
unrivits the chains that have bound it to
the bleak walls of financial domination,
it does not propose to erect in their
stead counter monopoly, or inaugu-
rate systems out of which will flow
streams, whose poison will perculate
through the veins of the body polite.
1t rises to nobler ends than this,
and while its efforts are directed to re-
lieving the products Of the soil, from
the cruel oppression Of INSCRIPTIONS
systems Of extortion, it mingles the
notes of the harvest home with the
melody that enlivens and cheers the
heart of every industry, and every
calling. And unlike the narrow, jeal-
Gus, and vindictive spirit, that would
make every industry subsidiary to its
arrogance and yassals to its caprices,
its great heart beats in response to the
interest of every calling, and every
section Of the country.
APPRECIATING THE TRUE VALUE OF
THIS SOUTHERN LAND,
to the wealth and power of the nation
recognizing our claims to just consid-
Grafton, it reaches forth its powerful
arms, and lends us catholic hand, to
lift us out of the mue and bog of I'M
toward circumstance and the unblush-
ing mendacity of unbridled usurpa-
ton. 1t tramples under its feet all
sectional hatred, and says to the spirit
of internicine strife, peace be still. 1t
rises above sectional prejudice, and
binds in the unity of fraternal brother
hood, the people of every spot where
the ensign Of common country proud
ly waves.
IT ASSUMES NATIONAL PROPORTIONS.
Its council chamber is filled with rep
resentatives. from the wave-washed
States of the East to the golden gates
of the Western sea; from the ice bound
commonwealth of the distant North
to the ze.fanned provinces of the
Gulf. In the grandeur of its designs,
and the magnifcence of its aims, it
utterly ignores every sem blance of dis
cord, binds its membership in the
bonds of everlasting concord, and
unites its vast brotherhood into one
whole.
And as the most signal evidence that
it regards our Southern hand with no
bitterness Of feeling, but cordially en-
braces us in fraternal sympathy, its
next annual convocation will be held
in the land Of Calhoun, Rhett, and
and in the city whose walls
echoed back the cannOnade that first
invaded the authority of the Govern
ment, and sounded the notes Of civil
war.
And looking to this unfortunate land
Of the South, viewing it in its PROSTATE
with its desolate fields, its
homes, its agriculture but
a miserable burlesque upon that ancient
occupation, its future shrouded in
gloom, and its people broken-hearted
and hopeless, it proposes TO relieve it of
its wrongs, to invest it with a prosperity
in the past, and restore it
to more than its pristine glory. 1t in
vites us to its fold, and knowing no
North, no South, no East, no West, it
extends over us its protecting Kgis,
and bids us muse no longer in sadness
upon the past, or the gloom that sur
rounds the present. 1t unfolds fu-
ture hitherto shrouded in darkness,
but now made radiant with promise,
md festooned with the rainbow of
nope. 1t Incorporates us as part and
parcel of its grand organization, and
makes our cause harmonious with its
)wn.
ruIs POOR INVERTEBRATES LAND OF
OURS,
CARED and furrowed by the storm of
var, many of its brayest and best slain,
much of its property annihilated, and

'lighted, was rapidly yielding to de-
