L dies. GeRtlenu*. and Fdlow-dtixe*M:
In all Christian countries since time
commenced, the people have lived un
der two code* of law;’the Divine ur
revealed Law of God,'and the munlc-
inal law or laws tnmle hy man. The
first, is unalterable; the latter, may be
repealed or ebaoged as may suit the
interests and feeling or judgment of
the law-makers The people of this
country have these two codes; the
former, binding in all cases, the latter,
in nil courts until altered,or repealed.
Early in the history of tfte human
race, and while! Adam and Eve, were
in the Gardm of Eden, God, by com-'
mend, published to them, forbid them
to eat of the fruit of the Tree Of Hie
Knowledge of good and eviL This
Law, at the suggestion of the subtle
serpent. Eva violated, and! prevaHel
anon Adam, to do the same, for which
offense, God, in. the fulOeaa of his pow
er, passed another Law, tbftt man, in
the sweat ofhis face, should eat broad,
till he returned to the ground, and
cursed the ground for tbetake of man,
and made it to bring forth thorns and
thistles. This Law, was applicable,
o©t oolyto Adam and ” *"
to the present riay. It is applicable
to yon and me, »nd will be, applicable
very i
us. to the end ol Time. It has beep
said, sod it has baoAms proverbial,
that tho Laws of the Medea and Per*
siaus, were unalterable; more so
» the Law of our Creator; man’s
Law might be changed, God’s Law,
cannot Adap| Wft* sent from the
Garden to til! the grcum|, Jpgnd
thorns and thistles, with which to con
tend. All his descendants, havo done
the asms, From that day to this, till
ing the ground has been |!)P fi)le. Ag
riculture commenced* there and has
not yet ended, nor, will it end, so long
as the world stands. God has de-
fdcrttdttand man, cannot alter it.—
Hence, the ffeglF® to improve the ag
riculture of our fOUftiW- If j* this de

is this, that has convened this people
here to-day ft is this desire, that
makes the people of the country, seek
for more light, and all the improve-
menu Jpydp |R the interest, and for
the foftherapee fit agriculture. At
first fiusb, it would appear, thftl the
many visitors in atteudance iij»oq this
Fair, were on the ••bunt** after pleas
ure; but, you may he assured that,
underlying these appearances, runs a
strong current of desire, for more
knowledge m the art of agriculture,
for improvement in the material in-
lefcafa of the couutry, all arising from
this un*ller&bb» BP W f*? force,
that man, shall eat his bread, in the
sweat of his face till he return to the
ground.
