ton in the working Of tho government Of
the couusry-pcrhaps. too. revolution Of
parties-a revolution. too. which will re-
douud greatly to the benefit Of the whole
country. I refer to the noble Or,ler Of
80 Patrons Of Husbandy"-the Grange
movement 10 this country. All honor 70
the noble men aud women who arc nov
carrying through this great movement
Success will crown their efforts. and when
that good time shall come. when all mo-
nopolies and extortions aimed at the inter-
eat Of farmers shalt cease. and peace and
plenty shall abound throughout the land.
the applause Of the country will ascend in
p0ans Of praise Of those noble men aud
women Who fostered. encouraged and sus-
taiued this noble work and carried it to .
successful termination.
As far - On eoeeerped. my friends.
you may always depend upon me - IN
earnest and sealous advocate Of this great
movement, believing that the success and
prosperity Of the farmers are identical
With the best interest Of the country. and
the fountain head and source from which
spring our greatest earthly blessings. My
friends. I deem il unnecessary to give any
further expression Of my views in this
eonmunicstioo. Yos can judge from What
l have written my general principles. I
expect to meet you o. the hustings and
there discuss with you subjects Of national
importance. I will close. By saying. that
IL you think proper to honor me With the
high trust Of your representative 10 Con.

Be spared TO discharge the duties eon6ded

iabed BY single stain Of dishonor.
