often think that inthe economy Of Prov
ilcnce it had been so ordered that men
VIII" successfully aspire to the exercise
of Il small mcdicum of importance would
only consider. sometimes, that they are
the servants and no: the masters of those
who elevate them to positions ot honor
and confidence. it would have been
quite Us well; but then. aS we are dis
posed to he somewhat philo>ophic. we
viii cmdcayor 10 endure the ills we have
and hencc.nrth observe the advice of
one who wrote wisely when he said :
Iii Il man decciycs you once. h. j. To
blame; if he decciScS You twice. yGu are
to blame. We have been led To these
reflections from the pcrliSal of Il com
mlnication in y"ur paper of the 10Th
ult. from our Representative, the Hon.
y. Il. Brown. in reply to some rcsolu-
tions adopted by the Council OF the
Patrons OF llu,handry of Andrew county
The Doctor begins his very rcmarlla-
bic communication by assuming that the
object OF ut least one individual in that
council was TO place him III opposition
To the objects sought to be attained bv the
order OF Patrons OF llu>bandry. Very
likely the Doctor has Il much more cX-
altcd opinion of his own Importance
than the Changers have. have no hes
itation III ;lrowin@ myself as one of the
individuals (lor they Were submitted by
three different persons. each acting in
dependent of the othcrs) who drafted
the resolutions III question, and am
free to confess that the Hon. gentleman
never once entered once into my calcu-
lations in connection h,rcw.ti-tlicv
were simply intended Is protrS:
against existing abI>e,. He asserts.
further. that certain parties have stud
icdly tried To- create the impression that
he was opposed 10 the Grange move
mcnt. Very true, Doctor: very true:
and we think you have done more To
confirm that opinion than any one we
know OF. Yet, sir" the Doctor i'll
forms us that parties who organized
Oranges SAW fit to pass him by Naughty
Changers.
Further. the Doctor is farmrr ,hco-
rctical!y and practically; true. also, es-
pccially theoretically. lie owns some
of the finest lands in the county : that
may be taken like the Doctors bran pill,
with some allowance, unless he con-
siders them with Il view to the erection
of watcr-works. They would furnish ::
splendid site for Il reservoir at a trifIjnr
expense, if the contents could be util
lied. Possibly he contemplate> entering
further into the domain of ..practicar'
farming by the breeding of aquatic
lowls, or to promote the science of pi>ci-
culture by cultivating that species of
el of the genus a>tac Is, more
known as crawiiSh. In fact.
we have no knowledge of lands any
where better adapted TO that particular
object than the lands in question: and
they were not bought for speculative
purposes, either. y tcmp0rm u na0rcs'
Under our Republican system Of de-
the Doctor is IL, facto. ID jnrr.
The Representative of the people %. An

views his relation to his constituents in
, very different li@ht.
The Facts are Just this: The Andrew
'ountY Council is II representative body
composed Of delegates from the sab
ordinate GrimgcS ;hrou rhoul the county.
At the meeting in February. certain res
buttons expressive of their sense of
light and justice in matters # ,i>ra
