The present, how ever, is an extract from a celebrated work,and booksare p0 but seldom personal; if, however, this should jlead to something more objectionable, we tell our friends candidly, they must seek some Ul other medium for its publication. Perhaps the most difficult portion of an -|r Editor's duties, is that of passing iust and impartial decisions upon articles sent him j()( I for publication; it rcquiics judgment and ' J discretion, more perhapsiu many eases, than m( I we are capable of giving; hut we endeavor p to follow a straight forward, independent course, recognizing no preferences from per- ^ sonal considerations, and when convinced in ^ our own mind, that we have acted up to th is ! hei rule, the opinions ot others to the contrary, t|U( are comparatively of minor importance. aj, AGRICULTURAL ANNIVERSARY, for Thk Anniversary of the Lancaster Agrir.ul- a | tural Society, was celebrated in accordance rc< with a previous notice, on Saturday last? rej The nhseoce of the Orator selected for the vvi occasion, I)r. W. C. Cautiibm, was universal ly regretted, as many doubtless looked forward to the speech, as the most interesting part of the ceremonies. A letter was read from Dr. CAUTRtM. wherein it was stated, j that sickness in his family was the cause ot ! ro' | his non-attendance. Tile President of the Society, however, j ^ -Mr. Josicpii A. ClkxjnoiiaM. together with I one two oilier gentlemen, made some very all appropriate remarks upon tlio occasion, and an a very interesting essay upon agricultural un and kindred matters was read by the former. A large number of persons were in uttcn- of dance; the Court House was literally filled j Hit to overflowing, which was an evidence of j pu the great interest manifested bv our District fol ill the subject matter iu hand. After the j nd< rend iny ot the dUAj, liie crowd were invit- i e<l to partake of a bountiful i'ic Nic, served Ti | up in the Academy (Jro\e.

The l'resideiit in hia ?li brief remarks alluded to the many Hattcring evidences of improvement, which this Noclety, ultbough yet in its infancy, hns already ^ produced; planters, farmers, and even ne? grocs on n plantation,have been stimulated in their ctTorta to produce the best year of P corn, Ujo Lest, sample of cotton, or the best j" of some of the many varieties of stock to be exhibited at theso annual celebrations.? ^ The subject of agriculture cannot engross too much sf our attention. It is certainly the most important of nil arts, forming as it does tho basis of society, and constituting tho great distinction between snvagu and T civilizej life.
