AKNUAL ADDRESS OF THE . . HON- A. T. MACINTYRE, Delivered at the Fair Growads of tfte Contis Georgia A. ft M. Aanaeiation at Thom- asvf ltr 9 Ua^on Friday, 7th AMy af Not. 167b. 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 The first, is unalterable; the latter, may be repealed or ebaoged as may suit the interests and feeling or judgment of the law-makers The people of this country have these two codes; the former, binding in all cases, the latter, in nil courts until altered,or repealed.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.

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.
