I suggest, therefore, that so far as wd may do so, without yielding our op? position or sacrificing our. principles, wis doni. and-sound policy alike denianda, tbat we should co-Operate with the exist iog aothuritie8 in every movement that c Jnray' bo made to render our situation more, tolerable. Biitv fellow-citizens, the highest duty resting upon us at present, I take it, is, that we lay aside for the-timo being, the -.*-discussion and excitement of politics, and janYteour,energies in one grtat effort to dovolppo and restore our material pros? perity. Our system of agriculture must : bt-changed y. the size of farms; roust ^be .diminiehod; improved labor saving ma? chines and agricultural implements must ~bo introduced; population and capital must be brought into the State; labor - must be diversified; the cotton grown on . ,the hills must be mauufurtured at the -water falls in the valleys ; reliable labor inust be retained, or obtained, and proper ? iy utilized; and by the persistent accumu? lation and application of fertilizers to our ?exhausted soils, and improved medea of -enUuro, we must learn to gi-ow on one acre of land what we have been accus - tomed to grow on ten. These things, if the proper spirit can be aroused, are of comparatively easy accomplishment, and tp:thia eadr 1 advise that existing associ? ations under the name of Democratic ?lubs, be kept up and enlarged until ev? ery good citizen can be induced to unite with them, not as political organizations, 'for any presont pmpose, but that they be converted into Farmers' Associations, and perpetuated for the grand purpose of enlisting tbe co-operation of our entire population, in a determined struggle to overcome our present misfortunes, and restore our ancient prosperity and happi ncss.

James L. Orr, who entertained the society for three-quarters of an hour in, an able and interesting effort. An informal recess was th*n> taken, in order that the Committees might discharge the duties as? signed to them, and the members generally bare, an opportunity of examining the articles and stock on exhibition. The Association re assembled, when the various committees reported as follews: . The .Committee on Domestic Manufactures sub? mitted the following, which was adopted and or? dered to be printed.

The Committee on.live .stock and. agricultural implements reported as follows,: which was adop? ted: . REPORT. ? j Tbe Committee on live stock and agricultural implements, beg leave respectiully, in tbe dis? charge' of the duties assigned them, to report, that two colts were exhibited by Mr: E. ?razesle, one six anct tbe other eighteen months old; and -one colt seven months old, by James McLeskey, Esq. They wcre. alljfine formed.and well grown for their ages, but the Committee decided that the six months colt of Mr. Brazeale's would be entitled to the first premium amongst the three. 'The colt of Esq. McLeskey, with as good treatment, it is -thought, would have been in all respects its equal. ?A pair of fine formed, well broke and beautiful .red roan carriage horses were exhibited by B. F. Wk?ner, .Esq., which would command a premium uimost anywhere ; and a bright bay-mare-, highly formed, aid beautiful as the best drawn picture, was'exhibited by Mr. N. A. MoOully. This ani? mal is a remarkable fast trotter, and although high spirited and gay, is altogether the best trained animal tho committee have ever seen. Two very fine Devon cows were also exhibited by B. F. Whitner. Three pigs of a litter of ten, not quite three months old, a cross between tbe Essex and White Chester county, weighing, without any ex? tra care, about fifty .pounds each, were exhibited by Andrew F. Lewis, Esq., of Pendleton. They are beam if al animals, and the cross is one that Beerns to be emraently adapted to our section of country: A Ches ter county breeding bow about two years old, and weighing about 450. lbs., was exhibited by Thos. B. Lee, Esq., the efficient and distinguished superinteridant of the Stute Peniten? tiary. This specimen was regarded as vnnsnalry fine of its kind. Of agricultural .implements, improved plows were exhibited, as follows: the John Moore, patent turning plow; Brinley turning and Bub-soil plow ; the Wait plow and the Hunter plow,the lauer inven? ted and manufactured by James Hunter, Eeq.. of Pendleton. The committee with a large number of citizens, wimessed a very interesting plowing match between these various implements, and whilst they regard them all very valuable imple? ments, their judgment is that Moore's patent, looking to depth of furrow, width of sliee and turning capacity, is the superior. The Brindley plow approaches it closely, and without the wing is a fine sub-soil.plow. The Watt plow was also regarded* as approaching either of the others xery ?closely. Mr. Hunter s p ow is an admirable turn? er, and seems to possess great merit on account of its lightness of draft; its depth and width of slice, did not, in the experiment witnessed, equal some of the ethers, but this may be owing to the. fact, ?i hat Mr Hunter's team was not as tractable as the ' others. The 'improvement is a valuable one. and Mr. Hunter is entitled to the-applause and patron? age of the community, for the industry and skill displayed by him. in his efforts to introduce im? proved agricultural implements. Respectfully subscribed, J. P. REED, Cbm'n. Tbe Committee on Agricultural Products submit? ted the following REPORT. The Committee on Agricultural Products would beg leave to report, that they discharged the duty assigned them, and would call special attention to the Turnips grown by Mr. Hembree, at the Poor House. Mr. D. Geerand Hon. J. P. Reed, also exhibited fine Turnip*; Mr. Reed, fine cabbages and wheat. Your Committee are satisfied, that had it been generally known, tbe exhibition would have been mnch better, and would therefore recommend that we have another exhibition at an early day, and that all persons bp requested to send in any articles that will add interest to the exhibition. J. C. KEYS, Obm'n. I? accordance with the recommendations of the last named Committee, it was resolved to hold an? other meeting on Thursday, December 10th, at which the public generally are invited to exhibit fine stock and agricultural products, and also that the ladies be especially invited to bring specimens of their handiwork and skill in domestic manu? factures. On motion, the tbanks of the Society were ten? dered to the members of the Anderson Brass Band for music on this occasion, and that they be re? spectfully requested to attend the meeting on the ? 10th of Deeewher. On motion, the Association adjourned. JAMES A. HOYT, Secretary. -??

Fsnow-CjinZKNa: The State Central Club, deem it proper to make the close of the late can? vass the occasion of a brief address. First, we desire most heartily to congratulate the party upon tbe general result of the canvass in this State. -The South Carolina Democracy has proved, itself an eminently progressive and growing, party. Organized in April last, in spite of the heavy numerical odds against it, it bos steadily advanced, and in every election augmented its power until in the canvass just closed, it fell only a little short .-of. carrying the 3 iota for its-national nominees. A Democratic gala' of more t Lan -30, 000 over the vote given in the Bute election of April last, mean* victory in the future and . not failure-. Nor should we fail to credit tbe National Democracy with its achievement in tbe late can? vass, or be nnmindful of tbe vast power it has de? veloped even in defeat. Tbe twenty-five Northern and Western States that entered into the Presi? dential canvass in 1864, gave to MeGlellan a popu? lar vote of 1,811,754, and to Lincoln 2,223.035. The same States, it is estimated, have, in 1868, given to Seymour a popular vote of 2,235,920, and to Grant 2,517,000. Thus showing, first, an in? crease in the Democratic vote ot 718,13-1, and secondly, that in a popular vote of 4,752,920, Grant bei a majority, over Seymouv of bat 2*1,080, and this exclusive of the vole* in the- late ?. S- States. Including the States voting.in 1868andnotin 1864, and the Slates excluded from voting in 1868, and . including, also, citizens disfranchised by congres? sional and State legislation in Missouri and the late Confederate States, tbe result is that Seymour received a majority of several hundred thousands an the popular vote. In the second place, we desire to impress upon the Democratic party in th?s State, the importance of preserving, in all its efficiency, its present ad? mirable organization, to the end that under the laws of tbe State and the United States, and in full recognition of the just obligations of good citizen? ship, tbe party may gradually increase its numbers and influence, until its principles and policy shall commend themselves to the free and unbiased ap? proval of a controling majority of tbe voters of the Commonwealth, ?-. Thirdly. The more effectually to keep up the Democratic clubs of the several Districts, and in order further to recognize fully all tbe industrial elements that are essential to tbe prosperity of the State, we earnestly recommend that features look? ing to the subjects of immigratien,agriculture, man? ufactures and education be engrafted upon each club, so that an organized and systematic effort may. be at once made to add to our population to promote the industries of the State and to advance the cause of popular intelligence. And in order to carry out these auxiliary features to be attached to tbe Democratic clubs throughout tbe State and to devise a uniform plan of action, we respectfully recommend a meeting of tbe Stale Central Club at this place on tbe 20th of January, 1869, at 7 p. m. Fellow-citizens, we address yon in the spirit of hope and faith. God in His providence bas seen ?fit to deny to us the triumph which we deemed.es? sential t? tbe welfare of the State. If we cannot win, let as seek to deserve success. To tbe man? hood of tbe Slate do we appeal. Let the Demo? cratic party of South Carolina remain a power and an influence in> tbe State. Keep your mfis undi? vided. Adhere to your political principles until ?better ones invite you to their adoption. From failure gather wisdom; and out of defeat get pa? tience and resolution. Preserving your fidelity to tbe efectric principles of your party, go bravely and earnestly to work in the field of material de? velopment. Thus building up tbe State upon the : basis of labor, and surrounding our political creeds , with tbe solid muniments of wealth, intelligence and virtue, we will redeem- our broken fortunes, beal our bleeding wounds, und ere long secure tbe peaceful triumph of those wise and virtuous ele? ments essential to- the dignity of tbe State and the prosperity of the people. By order of the Central CTub of tbe Democratic party of South Carolina. WADE HAMPTON, President. J. G. Gibbis, Secretary.
