Tho National Mit it nco.
Tho notional Alliance has boon In
eoBBi,on at ?oala, Fla, Wo make tho
following extraots from
PRESIDENT POLK'S MRSBAOE,
After congratulations to tho Or
dor ho says :
Profoundly impressed. . with the
magnitude of this great revolution
I for reform, involving isauos momen
tous and stupendous in their charac
ter, as, affecting'the present qnd fu
ture weifaro of tho ppople, the pub*
lie mind is naturally direoted to this
meeting with anxious interest, If not
so|l?ito.de, and you cannot bo unriiind
ful of tho importance and responsi
bility that ottaohes to your action, as
representatives.
AGRICULTURAL bkp?Ks?iON, '
Referring to tho depression iii agri
culture, he says :
Never, perhaps, in tho history of
tho world has industry and Coonomy
of thought boon moro intensely on
gaged than for the past two years in
thin country in the investigation of
tho oatiBes which have conspired to
place agriculture so far in the rear
in tho race of material progress.
This investigation, earnest, sincere
and searching, has lcd td the general,
if not universal conviction, that it is
duo in large measure and in most
part, to thc partial; discriminating
and. grossly unjust national legisla
tion.
Emboldened by the rapid growth
of its (tho money) power, it has
levied tribute on the great political
partios of tho country, which must
bo paid in servile party subservionoy
to its greedy demands. High places
in polities arid in government have
been intrusted to its chosen servants
and suborned loaders, who scorn thc
will and tho interests of, tho people.
Wo are rapidly drifting from tho
moorings of our fathers and stand
to-day in tho crucial era of our free
institutions, of froo form of govern
ment and of Christian civilization
To rescue these inestimable blessings
and interests from tho impending
peril, should bo tho solf-iraposed duty
of nil patriots throughout tho land?
TIIK PROGRESS OP THE ORGANIZATION.
Ho then .takes up organization':
Since our last annual meeting in
the city of St. Louis, thc States of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, North
I Dakota, Caluornia, Colorado, Wost
Virginia, Pennsylvania and Okla
homa have been added to tho roll
joall of our Supremo Couneil. Or
ganizers are at work in tho States of
Washington, Oregon, Ohio, Now
York, New Jcrsoy and Arizona, and
in all these States "Tho Holds are
ripe unto tho harvest, but tho labor
ers oro few."
I oanii?t too earnestly urge upon
you tho importance of devising
means and methods for th? prompt
occupation of these and other States
with competent and active organizers.
|$?>7 LEGISLATIVE REFORM.
To promote legislative reform he
recommends that this council author
ize tho organization of a body to be
known as tho' National .'Legislativo
Council of the National Farmers*
Alliance and Industrial Union, to
whom shall bo committed thc charge
of such legislative reforms as may
bo indicated by your body. I would
rospeotf tilly suggest that the Legis
lative Counoil bo composed of your
notional President, who Shall bo ex
oillolo Ohairman, and the presidents
of all tho States represented in* the
Supreme Counoil, and that this body
shall hold its annual mooting within
sixty days after the adjournment of
the Supreme Counoil, at such limo
and place as may bo indicated by
tho national President, and that it be
empowered and authorized to ap
point such legislative committees as
in its judgment may bo wiso, and
thoy bo required to transmit to each
of tho States in printed form,
through the national Seor?tary, foi
distribution to the reform press, leo
rurers and membership of tho Order
all measures or bills together witl
tho argument in thoir favor as they
I may dooido should bo enacted inte
laws. Let it be required furtbei
that tho Legislativo Counoil sha!
keop a correct record of all its pro
ceedings, whioh shall be submitted
through its chairman to thc nox
annual mooting to tho Suprom<
Council. This body will exert i
great moral influence, and with tin
influenoe of the reform press through
oirt tho States, would establish am
solidify a power whioh oould not fai
to oxoroise a most bonofloinl offec
on public affairs.
A M KN' OM KN TS. PROPOHKW.
President Polk recommends flv
constitutional amendments.
Tho fifth is 0 bombshell. It says
I rospcotfully suggest to your body
the expediency and advisabilivy of
requiring1 any officer of your body
who may bc nominated or appointed
to any civil ofllco. to tond?? tho re
signation of hts office promptly upon
bis.acceptance of such nomination or
.'ippOiV.i V"jiC-?it.
Then comes tho President's delive
rance on, political action, which is as
follows ;
An intelligent .^conception atid
comprehension of the relations and
reoiprooal obligations botween tho
citizens and the government is ono
of tho highest attributes of Ameri
can oithienship, and'Kinder our form
of''government, ono of tho most im
portant and respondi?lo duties de
volving upon tho citizen is tho at
tainment bf tliis knowledge. Hence,
first and foremost hi our "Declara?
tion of Principles,^ wo announce;
that wo are "to labor for the educa
tion of tho agricultural classes in tho
science of : economieal government,
in a striotly non-partisan spirit, and
so bring about more^porfoot union of
classes." Woro it tho design of tho
f ramera of our organ io law to im
press our membership with tho re
sponsibility and patriotic' duty of
reaohing that exalted standard in
citizenship to which all. American
freemen should aspire, and to assert
that our organization was politioal in
tho highest sonso of that torm, thoy
wore fortunate in adopting the prin
ciple in this declaration; but while
our organization is political, it oan't
bc partisan or sectional in its action.
In support of this declaration wo
proudly point to our whole past ro:
cord and to the recent popular elec
tion, and particularly to tho noblo
and patriotic bearing of tho brother
hood in tho States of Kansas and
South Carolina. It is ns needless as
it would be criminal to attempt to
disguise tho fact that as an organiza
tion wc have readied a critical pe
riod in our existence. Insidious and
powerful influences aro seeking to
divert us from the high purposo and
grave object for which . wo were or
ganized. Flushed and elated with
success, niarvolous in many of its as
peots, and tho most remarkable in
the politioal history of this country,
let us not impair its prestige and
power by indifference or inactivity
on tho ono hand, or by grasping for
the impracticable or tho unattainable
on tho other. Strong as we aro, and
strong aa? we mufet become, strong
enough if united to render our lines
impregnable to any open or opposing
force, yet we aro not strong enough,
nor can wo be, to withstand tho in
trigue and treachery of our foos
within.
Indeed, tho evasion of this great
issue has boon prominently - charac
terized by the two groat parties for
tho paBt twonty-flvo years. Th?
groat absorbing question, let mo
ropoat before tho American people?
is not whether the Demooratio or
tho Republican party, with their evi
dent subservionby to tho will of cor
porate and money poworfc, Shall bo in
tho ascendency, but tho question is
whether, under our Republican form
of government, tho citizen or tho
dollar shall be tito sovereign.
Let tho people boro ropresontcd
continue to reiterate, and with in
creased emphasis demand, first that
tho silver shall be restored to its
dignity and place as a money. metal
with all. the rights of coinage and all
tho qualities of legal tender whioh
gold possesses.
2. That tho ourroncy of tho coun
try shall be direot to tho people at a
now rate of interest and without
discrimination, and shall bo a legal
tondor for all debts, publie and pri
vate.
8. That taxation shall- bo moro
nearly equalized by requiring that all
property shall boar a just proportion
of its burdens.
4. That alien ownership of land
should bo resisted and prohibited.
5. That public transportations
should bo owned and controlled by
tho government.
G. That no class nor interest should
be taxed to build up any other clase
or interest.
V'7? That publio rovenuos should bc
limited to an honestly and economi
cally administered government, and
for tho further seourity of tho public
welfare let thom demand 1
8. A just and equitable system o
graduated taxation on inooraos.
9. That tho eleotion of Unitet
States Senators shall bo by a dirco
vote of tho pooplo.
These demands nvo tho neoessar;
and legitimate outgrowth of ou
rapidly advancing civilization, am
tho highest consideration for th
public we?faro and safety shoub
.V:^'We\;v-;,;V .:'...?: .-;,?:>/ ' '

TUKNKD INTO A LOVK Pit A ST,
At tho conolu?ion of ' Prcsidont
Polk's address, the AlUaneo rcso?vod
itself into a sort of '''love feaat^
clar?^g tfhicfc C. A. Powar, as M
Un ion soldier from Indi jina, moved
that all ox-Untbn soldiers in tho haii,
who endorsed tho senilm^hjts ex
pressed in the speeoh of President
Fo?ths, of South Dakota^ with refer
ence to tho burial of seetionftlidm,
riso up to bo counted. Tho mo'tlori
prevailed, and between forty anti
fifty stood up, amid tho wildest
enthusiasm. Under the inspiration
of this good feeling, an ox-Union sol
dier from Wisconsin stood up in his
seat and oalled, upon all Union sol
diers present' to give three cheers
for tho old Cdnfederateo in the Allh.
anco. They woro glVon w-th ?i iyill.
Then it, was tho Confederates' turn,
aud they cheered the old soldiers of
tho Union With a voluminous hearti
ness that raised no doubt as to the
genuineness of their fooling. Tho
cheers woro mingled with the wild,
old-fashioned * Hebel yell,'* and as its
och?os died away, one aged veteran
of tho Confederacy shouted in ?
voice that rang out cloarly through
tho hall :
"That's the genuine article. Pvo
heard it bofor?."
OCA LA, FLA., December 8.-Delo
gato W. S. McAllister*, of Missis
sippi^ introduced in tho meeting of
tho Farmers' Alliance the following
preamble and'resolutions; which were,
adopted :
"Wheroas, The President of the
United States in his annuc1 message
to Congress recommends tc3 urges
tho immediate passage of . . measure
known as tho Lodgo Eleoi m Bill;
and : /;'>' ,':
"Whereas, The said hill will neces
sitate a radical revolution of the
election machinery of thc Union,
both Stato and national, and its
passago will bo fatal to autonomy of
the States and tho cherished liberties
of citizens; and
"Whereas, Tho said bill is partisan
in spirit, and will bo partisan in its
application, thus revitalizing the gory
ghost of scotional estrangement; and
"Whoroas, In the holy war which
wo have declared against sectional
ism, firesides of tho North, Mast,
South and West aro citadels around
which the heaviest battles hrelieing
fought; and to tho erid that victor^
may crown our crusade, lot fraternity
and unity reign; therefore bo it
"Resolved by tho National Far
mers' Alliance! and Industrial Union
of America, in National Council
assembled, that wo do most solemnly
protest against tho passago of the
said Lodge election bill; and wo
most earnestly petition our Bonntors
to employ all fair and honorablo
means to defeat this unpatriotic
measure which cnn result in nothing
but evil to our common and bolo ved
country.
"Resolved, furtJier, That a copy
Of theso preambles and resolution
bo forwarded to each Senator in
Congress."
Me Al li aler took thc floor in sup
port of tho resolutions, and at thc
end of a strong speeoh moved theil
adoption.
As ho sat down thorn was a still
ness and hush in the. convention
which foreboded a storm, and every
body expected it to burst from tilt
Western or Northwestern delega
tions, but, no storm came.
?ftor a fow moments of suspense
delegate Doming, of Pennsylvania
arose and said that ho regarded th;
introduction of tho resolutions ni
untimely; that thoro was largblypr?
valent a fooling at tho North tba1
the Alliance was a section^, org?ni
zation, its members being saturater
with Southern sentiments, and tba
tho passago of those resolution
would strengthen this opinion ah<
check the growth of tho Albano
North and East. His languago wa
very temperate and conciliatory am
a ripple! of .applause greeted the clos
of his speech.
President McGrath, of the Kansn
Stato Alliance, moved tho adoptio
of tho resolutions without rofcrono
.to any commiiieu ami witooul uuuuu
which was lost.
A dologate from Illinois expresse
practically tho same sentiments ;
Deming. Ho feared tho adoption ?
resolutions at this timo would coi
firm tho charge somotimos hoar
that the Farmers' AUianoe is a part
san body. The Alliance, ho said,
fast getting a grip in the West an
In localities where Kepublioan sent
mont is strong. This notion of tl
national body would tend to thro
it into politioaV disrepute and stop ita
expansion over tho State? of tho
West and Northwest.
President Hall, of tho Missouri
Stato Alliance,; moved th>t tho reso
lutions bo tabjed; but aftor a short
interval, in wliioh thero woro sovoral
short but temperate . speeches in
favor of their passage, ho moved' to
table" his Original motion to te.blo,

Charleston.
Col. Patrick Calhoun, of Atlanta,
|s in Cborloston. A Nexos and Cou
Her reporter interviewed bim as fol
lows :
I "I have jost stopped over in
Charl?stoh to leave Airs. Calhoun,
Who1 Will spond sonic timo here,** ho
said. UI will go to-morrow after
noon to Now xork on a busihess
Visit.
"I have very little to say about
railroads,*' he continued, "because
there is nothing especially new to
say. Oho thing that se?his to be nt
tmeting a good deal of attention is
the Foot Point'boom, which has
beon noticed already in tho papers.
The authorities of tho Macon and
Birmingham Railroad, I understand,
ire projecting a road from Macon to
i*00t Pointy and as they aro gentle
men of enterprise and energy, I have
no doubt they Will succeed Well with
their plane. A groat deal of land
bas been bought around Foot Point
during the last ninety days, and it
Will, lam sure, bo developed in thc
near future. I ord nbt personally in
forested in this movement at all,' am'
so do hot speak with authority, but
knowing tito gentlemen engaged in it,
? fjm' cortain it will turn out Well.
[This same oompahy built tho South
jGOorgin artd Florida Railroad and
ave men of experience and ability.
"Of course no, ono oan toll what
eff?ot tho 1 doveloptuont of Foot
jPoiht will bavo on tho ports along
?this part of tho A thin tic coast.
Southern commerce is bound to find
a deon water outlet, and Congress
should make moat liberal appropria
tions for Savorinah and Charleston
harbors, so that those porto can bo
utilised without any drawbacks.
"Thore is au aotivity in railroad
circles all over tho South at prosent
Wliioh in unprecedented. .Daving thc
p?st five years the progross in South
Carolina and Georgia particularly
bas been very great, ana I predict
that during'tho next decade moro 11
railroads Will be constructed m tho
South than in thc whola rest of tho
Unidh. Tho entire Southern Oo?n*
[tty is iix\\ of activity, and tho eyes
'or tho c?pitali?tscVety Whore Oro bo
ifig attracted h?re."
Speaking of Charleston Mr. Cal
Ibonn said:
"I have been Watching Charleston
with much into vest, and I am mire ft ..
is On ih? rise. Whatever changes j J
will oc??r h?re ?n tho noit few years
Will be greatly bohoficiol, arm all
sighs ' point to a pr?sporous career
for he*. S?mo other cities with
which she has'tb competo have bet
ter Railroad facilities, but I believe
Charleston will bo ocpial to ahy of
them 1 in cdiUhnSrolal advantages of
atty kind irt'a very few years. Tho
city ?S destined to be a gt'eat com
mercial centre, hud tho realization of
this destiny is not Very far off."
Mr. Calhoun Will leavo tho city for
New Y?rk tbis afternoon by tho At
