Which on motion was received
and ordered spread on the journal.
Montgomery, Choctaw Corner,
and Hartsell was each nominated
as the place at which the next
meeting of the State Grange should
convene. After considerable dis
cussion Hartsell was selected as the
place and Thursday after the second
Monday in December, 1852, as the
time.
The adopting of plan to vitalize
the dormant Oranges in the State
caused a majority and minority
report from the committee, and the
amendments and substitutes were
too numerous to spread on the
journal.
After an able, earnest and thor
ougb discussion Of all the plans
suggested it was ordered that Ben
c. HARRISON, Master Of the Ala
bama State Grange, shall canvass
as thoroughly as practicable every
part of the State, with the deter
mined purpose of vitalizing dor
mant Oranges and the organizing
of new Oranges, and dif1using a
knowledge of the Order and en-
deavor to create a lively interest in
our noble Order throughout the
State, and that be be allowed as
compensation for his time and ex-
penses an amount equal to the
amount paid by the Oranges organ
lied and those reorganized by him
for twelve months, except SO much
as belongs to the National Grange.
1t was further ordered, that the
preventative of each Grange be
requested to exert himself to raise
subscription in their respective
Oranges and have the Master there
of to transmit the same to the Mas
ter of the State Grange for the pur-
pose of extending and building up
the Order in this State
The thanks of the Grange were
then rendered Hon. Henry Engle-
hardt for the courtesy extended in
the loan of the use of his elegant
office for the sessions of this body.
Bro. S. II. Morris then offered
the following:
ReS0I0ed, That this Grange ten
der its thanks to the Worthy Mas
ter and Worthy Secretary for the
faithful and earnest zeal with which
they have discharged their duties
without compensation.
Unanimously adopted.
/ Bro. J. L. Robinson moved that
the Executive Committee and the
Master of the State Grange take
into consideration the possibility of
holding State Grange Fair at this
or some other suitable place, and
ask the assistance of Subordinate
Oranges in perfecting such arrange
ments. Adopted.
The thanks Of the Grange were
then rendered the Montgomery i'd
0ertiScr for the insertion of the Mas
ter's address in its columns.
On motion of Bro. Gardner, the
Secretary was instructed to secure
the publication of the proceedings
of this session Of the State Grange
in THE PATRON OF. HUsBANDRY,
or elsewhere, provided the cost
thereof shall not exceed $I5.
It was then ordered that the Sec
rotary be allowed 800, and that the
remainder in the hands of the
Treasurer, less the amount due the
National Grange for dues to the
close Of 1881, be turned over to the
Master to be used in advancing the
interest of the Order in the State,
and that A. V Gardner, Chirman
of the Executive Committee, be re-
quested to make the settlement as
provided BY said order.
The Grange was then closed in
regular form,

Editor Patron. We received the
copy of THE PATRON, and find that
it is battling for our Order and for
the working classes of the United
States. We of the North are ready
and willing to clasp hands with our
Southern brothers and sisters to
work for the good of all. What we
want is reform, but it will come
slowly until the people are educated
to see and understand their own
wants and interests; then they will
act unitedly and with effect. / en-

PATRON. Fraternally,

We have put the subscription price Of
THE PATRON so low that every menLer
of the Order can afford to take it. 1.-THE
Order in the Southwest will concentrate
upon it they can make it the strongest and
most influential journal in the South. We
are ready to increase its size to 81 column S
and otherwise greatly improve it as soon
as its circulation reaches a point that will
enable US to do Sc We hope the Oranges
in Alabama will now subscribe as literally
as those in Georgia and Texas are doing.

There are some features in the
proceedings Of the Wilson conyen-
ton ss reported to the Whining
ton Post that we cannot UNDER
stand. The Post had four report
ers there who claimed that they
were there for that purpose and

comes out it is bottom upwards
and twisted in such q manner that
those who were present are totally
unable to understand what the
Post means. O'Hara is the Res

shall await the position of the

A report has reached the aristo-

young colored man will make bis
unwelcome appearance there this
year as a candidate for the honors

comes from our neighboring city

elected because Of bis success in as

and the young gentlemen up there

that they will not associate with

Beneath the flag of our country
we this day place the name o.
Hon. J. e. O'Hara, of Halifax
county, the regular Republican
nominee to represent the I'd Con-
gressiontl District in the 4Stf
Congress,
Mr.. O'Hara is well known moi
only to the people of the district
but to all the people of the State,
and needs no recommendation at
our hands.
We regret that a few gentlemen
who failed to procure the nomina-
tion Of their choice are somewhat
sore over the nomination Of Mr..
0Hara, and threaten to again
open the food gates of abuse, vi.
tuperation and mudrslinging, but
we hope, on the sober second
thought, these gentlemen will re-
member that the people have once
passed on the foul Islander and
rendered verdict against the
slanderer, and in favor Of Mr..
O'Hars, therefore we can truly say
that matter is res adjadicata.
In the candidacy of Mr.. OHara
the people have a bold and fear
