Gentlemen Of the Young Mems Demo
cratic GLIB ~ thank you for you
kindly welcome. My summer excur
sion, now just closed, had for its objec
a season of physical activity in tn
open air in a moderate climate, ans
amid scenes interesting by their asso
Citations with oar literature, with on
Jurisprudence, and with the origin ant
growth of representative institutions
Tthas repaired us much as three month
could thowastc of six years conseorate'
to an effort for governmental reform
in the city, State and Nation. d,
not forget that in 1871 you Joined il
1.-THE work, and have never since beer
wanting to it. am glad here to.nigh
to minglc my congratulations will
yours on what has been done, on th,
good auguries for the future, and, abov'
all, on the resolutc purpose of thu
young men Of our country that the Re
public shall be completely restored ant
rc-established according to its origina
ideas The contrast which strikes tht
American eye between the British Isles
and our own country in the supply o
food, and especially cereals, ought tC
be the basis OF profitable exchanges
and inestimablc mutual bcnefactions
The wants of our British cousins
already enormous-will rapidly in
crease. They grow, not only Will
population, but by an inccssant diver
sion oflabor toward the most profitable
employments. Our means Of supply
are boundless. We have immense areai
offertile soils--cheap-peculiarly fitteC
for the use OF agricultural machinery
and connected with the centres of for
eign commerce by the great rivers, by
vast inland seas, and by 10000 mile
of railway. We have sun in oul
heavens, which in the season of agri
cultural growth, h,pours down daily flood
of light and warmth, making the eartl
prolific, giving abundance and variety
offruits, assuring the wheat crop, yield
ing the cotton in its zone, and ripenlnl
corn everywhere, even to the verge o
the farthest North. | predict a grea
increase in the consumption Of our corr
by Great Britain over the 60, 000, ,0Ol
bushels which it reached last year, |
is the most natural and spontaneou
of our cereal products. Our presen
crop ought to be l 1,5OO,OOO,OOO bushels
against 3OO,OO0,0OO of wheat, 1t i
but little inferior to wheat in nutritiv
power 1t costs less than ono-half ol
the sea board, and much less than one
half on the farm. 1t can be cooked b,
those who consent to learn how, int
many delicious forms Of human food
Why should not the British workmc
have cheaper food 2 Why should no
our farmers have great market? VIII,
should not our carriers have the trans
portation ? Let us remember tina
commercial exchanges must have som
element of mutually Whoever oil
structs the means ofpayment obstruct
also the facilities of sale. We mus
relax our barbarous revenue system 5
as not necessarily to retard the natura
processes Of trade. We must no longe
lcgisatc against the wants Of humanit
and the benefcencc of God.
The election now impending involve
the choice of State officers who con
pose the administrative boards. Go,
Robinson's administration has bee
characterized by incorruptiblc integr

swerving fidelity to tho reforms tina

and has n right to have the cordial CO
operation ofthose officers, which in th
government of the United States an
other systems, form the Cabinet Of tn
