The difficulties and obsta cles that have environed us and have prevented the plantiing bus iness from meeting with that suc cess to which it is so justly enti tled is because wo have been for ced to take too little fijr our own productions and pay too high for what we have been compelled to buy, or in other words we have been in the power and at the mer cy of heartless money rings and the non-producers of the country. It has been said that the agri cultural industries of a nation are the true sources of its wealth, ]low er and prosperity. Agrieultur said the renowned “Soeratoes” centuries ago “is an employment, the most worthy the application of man, tlie most ancient, and the most suitable to his nature. It if the common nurse of all persons in every age and condition of life; it is the source of health, strength, plenty and riches, and of a thou sand sober delights and honest pleasures. It is the mistress and bool of sobriety, temperance, justice and religion, and, in short, of all virtues, civil and military,’ as it is then a calling of such mag nitude and importance; should it not receive the attention, support and encouragement of every good citizen throughout the land and should it not have the fostering care and protection of the laws ot the country? 1 ask has tlie legis- ation of the government both state and national been such as to foster, protect, and build up this great industry and give it that en couragement which it deserves and to which it is so justly enti tled? On the contrary have not the laws passed by our National Legislature been to ignore it, hos tile and inimical to its material development, particularly those passed upon thesuhjeets of finance and taxation? Have not the laws passed on these subjects been wholly in the interest and for tin benefit of the money changers, shylocks and tin 1 itoii-produeersj of the country leaving as 1 have aid before the great planting in terest entirely and completely at the will ami mercy of the money and non-producers? Such undeniably is the ease. My plan ting friends is it not about time that we should exclaim to our law makers in the language of Rome’s illustrious orator “how long wilt thou abuse our patience, to what end will thy unbridled audacity display itself”? 1 ask you have we not the means in our power if we will use them to redress the wrongs and grievances that have been heaped upon us, and to throw off the yoke of bondage to which we have been subjected for the [iast fifteen or twenty years? We certainly have; and that is to use our influence and [tower at the ballot box in the election of men loth to our State and national leg- misconstrued in penning this ar ticle that there is no office within the gift of the people that he wish es or desires, what he has written has been done with a view to bring before tlie minds of his brother planters some of the wrongs and grievances under which they have labored and to attempt to.show how these wrongs may lie redressed. “Farmer.” ROAD NOTICE.

Is it not an indisputable fact that the gveat ag ricultural interest of the country has not flourished and prospered as it should have done for the last few years? To keep body and soul together and to keep what little effects of which wo arc pos sessed from being brought under the Sheriff’s hammer, have we not been compelled to practice the most strict and rigid economy and very frequently to deny ourselves of some of the comforts of life, even when God in His goodness has blessed us with the “early and latter rain” and we have made good crops?

Fanners cer tainly pay a heavier tax than any other class of people, and will con tinue to do so, until they learn to have their own representation both in the State and national leg islatures. Look at this item of the present national representa tion There are in round num bers about 12,000,000 voters in the Fuited States, of whom 11,- 000,000 are mechanics, laborers and tillers of the soil of this num ber 10,000,000 are agriculturalists there are only 22 farmers in Con gress. Now of all the professions including the bankers there are 1,000,000 voters and to represent this class there are 250 lawyers, 17 bankers, and 9 doctors. This tells the whole story of National legislation. Give to every State in the Union and to the National Legislature as well, a pro rata representation to tnc agriculturist, and economy and practical gov ernment will become the rule in stead of the exception, just and equal taxation and a sound sys tem of finance will he established, and equal protection to all classes will follow as a natural result.
