PERRY, Delivered Before the Pendleton Fariner?' Society, October Oth, 1884. From the Cotton Ptant. QENTM?MBN Ot TUH PENOLKTOK FAHMKR?' BOC?ETY t I have been invited, as the oldest surviving member of your Association, to address you on this, the C9th Anniversary of your Society. I duly appreciate tho honor, but feel a diffidence in attempting to discuss the great and ali tai portant quootion of agriculture, before roi*l!.gent, educated and practical farm ers, such as you are. I was brought up on a farm in Pendle ton district, and accustomed to all the duties and labors of a farmer ; but soon entered on professional duties, v bich, for more than half a century, have r/Ubdrawn my attention from this, tho noblest occu pation of man. I have, however, never lost an interest in agriculture, and have read and studied much on the subject. I am now l?vi?g on au extensive farm and in some measure supervise it, which is under the direction of my youngest son. I havo noticed with great pleasure the progress of agriculture and tho wonder ful improvements in agricultural imple ments since my youthful dav? os a farmer. The Pendleton Farmers' Society was orgauized in 1815, sud is now one of the oldest Agricultural Societies io South Carolina. That its existence should have been continued so long ?B highly credita ble to the agriculturists of this commu nity. It speaks well for their intelligence, patriotism, science and love of improve ment. The nar with Great Britain bod just] closed before tho organization of your society, and'ibo country was grestly de pressed in all of her resources and indus tries. Agriculture and commerce were especially at a low ebb. The farmors around Pendleton village in 1816 were educated and highly cultivated citizens, and many of them quito distinguished in tho State. I may mention Gov. Andrew Pickenr and his brother Ezekiel ricken?,. sons of the patriot and Revolutionary General, Pickens ; Col. Robert Andrews, thc i on of another Revolutionary Genera), and for many years Clerk of the House of I Representatives; Col. Warren, a gallant1 soldier of the Revolution, who lost a leg , in the war of Independence, and for many years a representative in the Leg--j iBlature from Pendleton district ; General J. B. Earle, a member of Congress, and (or many yetis Adjutant General of tho State; Samuel Earle, a member of Con gress ; Mr. North, a highly cultivated feoiieman of great moral worth; Thomas harrison, a aiatioguished lawyer, and the State Treasurer John E. Calhoun, the son of one of our first United States Sen ators, and au accomplished gentleman ; Col. Richard Lewis, Joseph Whitn ?r, Mr. Gaillard, the Taylors, Maxwells,'Sloans, Bensons, Cherrys and many, VP;y many -tiners of fortune and cultivation. Tbeso patriotic gentlemen farmers determined to try and advance tbe caut-e of agricul ture in tbeir district, and hence the origin of the Pendleton Farmers' Society. To the credit of your district this Associa tion has continued to flourish, and bas added to its members, John C. Calhoun, Vice-President of the United States, John Gaillard, President, pro tem ol the Senate of the United States, Judge Cheven, oue of i he purest and wisest men South Car* ulina ever produced, Governor James Hamilton, tho Bayard of the South ; Col. Francis ougee, tbe Liberator of Lafay ette from ihe dungeon of Olmutz; Col. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, the Hon. Richard F. Simpson, for many years our representative in Congress, and many others of tho most distinguished men of I the Stale. < Some thirty or. forty years ago I was invited by my friend, Major George Sea born, theo President of this Society, to address its members at one of their anni versary meetings. When I look around me, now, I see but two members (Mr. John Sittou and Mr. Gaillard) of the Pendleton Farmers' Society who were then present ou that occasion. They have all irene to that bourne from whence no traveler ever returns-John C. Cal houn, Governor Burt, Dr. Symms, Major Seaborn, J. Overton Lewis, thc Taylor?, tho Maxwells, 'the Bensons, the Sloans, and others, who were here then, are hore no longer. And what great events, my friends, in the history of our country have taken place since that period. A civil war has ?wept off hundreds and thousands of our most gal la ?it and patriotic sons, fallen in battle with the lost Confederacy, the Southern States have been depleted by, hostile armies, and our slaves emancipa ted. But w?rse than all this, these freed negroes were set over us as our political masters, under control of rogues and scoundrels from the North, who came hero to steal and pl?ndert Nothing in history is more infamous than this cruel outrage on the part bf, the Republican party of the Northern States. Butin 1876, the Centennial of Ameri can Independence, the white people ci South Carolina, under the patriotic and gallant lead of General Wade Hampton, rose up in mass, and proclaimed that they would DO longer submit lo be governed by ignorant negroes, plundering carpet baggers and infamous ecol a waga. In the providence of God this movement was successful, and the leaders of that regime have fled from the just indigna? tion of au outraged people. R. K. Scott, the first Radical Governor of South Oaro-; lina, fled with his stolen wealth to his homo in Ohio, where ho murdered an in-, nocent young mso, who was trying toll conceal the-disgrace of his son. F.J.; Mose?, the successor of Scott io the Bxr couti ve chair, of debased and degraded Radical South Carolins, fled to New York, where he bas been convicted of crimes and sent to tbe Penitentiary sev eral times. Since this overthrow of negro-carpet-: bsg-scalewag rule, in South Carolina, wo b&vo made rapid strides io all the branches of industry. Agricullnre ha* revived, and our crops are almost doubled. The wbite People have put their banda to; the plow and are no longer above culti vating their farms by their own manual labor. They have been |greatly aided, too, by tho recent wonderful ImptoW menu lb all agricultural imp?ementa. Tbe Sulky plow, tho reaper, the ?earn thresher and * variety of other labor saving machinery, havo alm?trnade th* farmer independent nf bte colored hiro 1 i og. Mason's machine for picking ont cotton, the mos* wonderful invention of the age,' will make him (nore so. Tu? phosphates, too, have como to tho aidof th? fermer and thrown* flood of oftbe monnWoaT Stow thei dWery lites: U.?re waa not m bs* bf dot ton sold la tb? town nf Qwe^l^ind ' ?lnee the oaeof Ate lerMl^r Airly thou rand bate? have been sold there in ono vet**. - Its application to com and wheat, and ?ll the cereals, ls equally advantage. lint there hr daogw-fd ?!opendt?rtoo much oil this expensive fertilizer ir-iicad of stab!? and ??"^.fS? post heaps. ' When M^J*^. manures Are as good as phosphates ?00 mach more permanent. They are not BO easily carried out and applied to the fields, and they are more troublesome to make and preserve. Thia ie one reason why the phosphates are preferred. In the early history of agriculture in South Carolina no one thought of manuring his land. This was too much trouble. The farmers thought it better to clear new land, wear it out, and move off to a fresh country. This vicious custom has cost South Carolina millions of wealth and thousands of her citizens. How groat would our State bo to-day if she could re claim all ber emigrant cilizeus and the wealth they carried off. The spirit of emigration -rveakeus also tho patriotism of the emigrant, and he no louger loves, as he ought to, tho home of his birth, or the homo ol his adoption. But since the overthrow of Radical rule io South Carolina, this spirit of emigra tion has ceased, and every one thinks of improving his lands instead of wearing them out. In former times the iguoraut farmer never thought of preser Tng. his manures, and very often built bli af.b?e? and cow lots on the eldo of a hill, no that the raina and floods might keep them clean. I have heard farmers say that they never manured a foot of land in their lives. Now there is scarcely a farmer, no matter how ignorant he may be, who does not try to manure as much of his cultivated fields os possible. In the early history of South Carolina, tho largest portion of the lands were in woods, and cattle were permitted to range over it at pleasuro. Tho Legislature passed laws requiring every one to fenco bia fields, and declared how high a law ful fence should be. But a lew years since, the legislation was most wisely changed, and an act was passed requiring every one to fence bis stock, and author izing tho former to cultivate bis fields without any fenco at all. I regard this "no fence law" as the wisest Act 'be Legislature bas passed' for years past. The expense of fences in South Carolina was five times more than the whole live stock of the State was worth. The wis dom of this law,' in requiring all cattle to be kept up, is r,?cn all over the country, in the improved breeds of cattle, hogs and sheep. It is seen too in the increased and improved, quantity of butter brought to market. Instead of hiing engaged in the latter part of the Winter and carly in ?ho Spring, in making and repairing hie ences, tho farmer now han time to haul out hts mnnu'rei And make n thorough preparation for his crop. The first consideration of every far mei should be to drain his low grounds thor ough/, and keep his uplands from wash ing by deep ploughing, and sowing thew in small grain and clover occasionally and hill-side ditching if necessary. Deer, subsoiling will almost render the fnrmei independent of ordinary droughts. Ii or 1er to enable the roots of plants tc extract the fertility of the soil, i sbouM be well pulverized,' ftnd ni clods .efl unbroken. When the groum is v eil broken and pulverized and deeplj subsoiled, very shallow plowing after ?ards is best for the crop. It is amistaki to suppose that breaking roots improve t?eir growth. As well might we expec to increase the volume of water in it creel by cutting off the spring branches wbicl teed it. It is a great mistake to plant BO mud cotton as we do, and depend on the grea West for our .corn, flour, bacon, lard horsed and cattle. It is doubtful whethe there is any profit in growing cotton un der ten cents. When the planter sell his cotton and purchases his supplies h will very often find himself lu debt. H should make corn, wheat and mea enough to do him, and raise his ow horses, mules and cows. Tben he ma Elaut as much colton as he can cultiv?t? iut there are a great many crop* mot ?roQlable 'at this time than coltoi think tobacco is one of them. So ai the grasses when well cured and fed t the stock. They improve the land toi and keep ii from washing. Lucerne i one of the finest grasses the farmer ca grow, and it may be cut three or foti times during the seiwoo. It is very nt tritioua, and stock are food of it, gree or cured. General Davie, whilst 01 minister to Franco, said be saw the pea antry of that country eating it as green It requires less labor to grow whes rye, oats, barley and tho grasses', than does to grow cotton ; and this should 1 an important consideration with tl farmer who bas lo hire his labor. The crops, too, are more profitable in propo tion to the' labor in raising' them tht cotton. They also improve the lan instead of wearing it out as cotton do? For many years it was supposed tb the "rinn rillt uro would lOVPf SUCCS?d the United States. In 1846 I visited al Edward Everett, then President of tl Cambridge University. He bad be minister to Great Britain, and travel all over Europe. He said to me that \ never'could succeed in cultivating t grape, that there was something In o climate which made our grapes inferi to those of Kurope. He remarked tb the Chinese, who lived in the same la tude that we do, on.the other side of t earth, and were a Very ingenious peop ii ; vcr had been. abl?- to mn!; o wine, a wo contd not in tbe United ?t?t*s.

I have no doubt, si will be made from sorghum molasses It is very gratifying to see the inti taken eU over tho country, since passage of the "stock law/ in the Ero verne nt Of cattle, hogs, sheep orees.

' ';'/;'{^V"A/.' . day, and the poor, scrub cattle that we used to see shivering in the winter rains and sleets, and fed on shuck? and rotten nubbins. The same contrast, too, may be seen in your blued of horses. The agricultural interest of the United States is more important than thatof any other, and yet it bas been heavily and oppressively taxed by the present Repub lican party in Congress to protect North* ern manufactures. The National Gov? eminent is now levying and collecting one hundred millions of dollars, over and above necessary expenses, extravagant as they have been. At this tin o there are four hundred millions of dollars lying idly in the Treasury, and yet the Repub lican parly refuses to reduce the taxes paid by the people. The high tariff bene fits nuly the capitalists engaged in manu factures, and does not increase at all the wages of the poor operative. In 1841, before the present high war tariff was onactcd, the wages of the operatives were higher than they now are. In England there is no freo trade, no protection, and their laborers aro receiving higher wages tnsn they did under a protective tariff. In Germany, France and Italy, where there is a high protection, tho operatives do not receive as auch for their tabor as they do in England. The injustice to the agricultural inter ests of the country ie a great shame, but cannot be remedied whilst the present Republican party are in power. Hence the enouiug election, for President and members of Congress is of vital im. u tance to the whole country, and e-pc? *'.>y to the Southern States. Tho Hopi. *: li jan party have been in power r~u:e than twenty yenrs and they have ntreduced corruption, trickery and swindling into every department of the government. During Gen. Grant's administration of eight years, the defalcations amounted to ten millions of dollars, stolen by the ofll eera. In order to concent their rascality, tho officers of the government have cut out leaves of the public records and destroyed them. If there bo not a change soon our Republican syBtem will be'at an end and our boasted liberty sunk in cor ruption. But I think it almost as certain as any future event can bethal Governor Cleve land, our Democratic candidate for the Presidency, will be elected on the 4th of November next. Then there, will be a reform in all the departments of the Fed eral Government-corruption will be at an end, taxes will be reduced, economy will bo practiced, tho rascals will be turned out of office, tho constitutional rights of tho State respected and our Re publican Government restored to tts origi nal purity. Thou wo may expect, to see the country prosperous and happy. Ag riculture, commerce and manufactures will flourish as they never did before in these United States. The evil effects of abad government on the prosperity and happiness of a.people aro incredible to those who have never experienced them. In illustration of this truth, I would refer to the seven or eight years of Radical rule iu South Cur ohan. All industries were depressed, the negroes were idle, and the white people teemed to have lost all their energy, taxes were ruinous, our fields were uncul tivated, in thousands of instances farms were sold to pay the taxes, and the peo ple felt degraded when tbev reflected that their beloved State was under the regime of audacious rogues and ignoraut scoundrels. But as soon as the State threw off the government of the Radicals everything revived and our industries flourished, and the wealth of the Slate has been increas ing five or six hundred thousand dollars every year since. We shall experience the same blessing when the Democratic party gets possession once more of the National Government. No nation in the world ever prospered more rapidly than did these United States for fifty years under the Democratic parly. The pur chase ol Louisiana, the purchase of Flor* ida, the annexation of Texas, and the acquisition of California were all made by Democratic administrations. During this time, too, our shipping wes on every sea and our commerce was spread over the world, our agricultural products were increased a hundred fold and Our manu fact una were in a most flourishing condi tion under a moderate tariff. The war with Great Britain and tho conquest of Mexico were likewise under Democratic rule. Tbe rights of our sailors were vin dicated in the war with Great Britain and our National honor maintained in our conquest of Mexico. ? . In conclusion 1 beg leave to pay my ! respects to the ladies who have honored n < with their presence here to day. It is said, to he happy, you must have some* thing to do, something to love and some thing to hope fer. This is a wise saying, and -s uj??t truthful saying. Then ail farmers' wives should, be happy. They have 'he full consideration of tuest three tbipgs iu an eminent degree. ! Besides tho occupation of their ordinary house hold duties,1 they have their dairies to At tend to, the milk of Jersey cows, the rich cream and golden butter to take care of, and some attention to pay to their favor ite live stock, feeding their poultry, otc. Buddes their love for their husbands and children,' they have their pct-, to love, in fine horses, fine cows and fine dogs. Besides their hopes for Heaven hereafter, ih ey have to hope for good crops, increado of live"" stock," good seasons' and ms?v, very many oiusr things. Bat after all, our happiness lo this Fife depends, very much on ourselves, oar peiere and pur constitution which ws ^ay modify ind im prove but cannot entirely change. Some EersOns are co constituted t?nt they will e happy under a.ny circumsU aces and in any condition o * life, and there sre others who will be happy nowhere r.n3 under no circumstances., It ia their natur**, and they tire to bo pitied, not to blamca. And now ladies and gentlemen, wish ing that we could live to celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Pendleton Farmers' Society, and see the wonderful improvements which will take place in agriculture in thirty-one years to come, I bid you an affectionate farewell.

BLAINE GNASHES HIS TEETH. A Violent Speech Against th? Solid South. AU0U8TA, HE,, November 18.-A large number of personal and political friends of Blaine serenaded bim this evening as an expression nf personal good will aud admiration of bis conduct of tbe national campaign. They marched through the streets under tho marshal* ship of Col. Frank Nye. When they roached Blaine's bouse their compliments and friendly regards were expressed in a speech by Herbert M. Heath, of tbe Kenrebec bar. Slaine responded as follows, his speech bviug continually . interrupted by ap plause : Friends and neighbors, tho national contest is over, and uy the narrowest of margins we have lost. I thank you for your ca! I. which, if not one of joyous congratulation, is ono I am sure of con fidence and. of sanguine hope for tbe future. I thtnk you for the public opportunity you give me to express my acose of obligation not only to you but to all tho Uepublicsns of Maine, They responded to my nomination with genuine ?uihuajasm, ratified it by a superb vote. I count it ns one of the honors and gratifications of my public career that the party lu Maine after struggling bard tor tue last six years, and twice within that period losing toe State, bas come back in thia campaign to an old-fashioned 20,000 plurality. No other expression of popular confidence and esteem could equal that of tbe people among whom I have lived for thirty years, ana to whom I am attached by all the ties tbat enno ble human nature and giro joy and dig nity to life.. After Maine, indeed along with Maiue, my first thought is always of Pennsylva nia. How can I fittingly express my tbanka lor tbat unparalleled majority of more than 80,000 votes, an endorsement which bas deeply touched my heart and which has, if possible, increased my affection for that grand old common wealth, at) affection which I inherited from my ancestry and which I shall transmit to tr. r children! ' But I do n?t. limit my thanks to tho State of my residence and the Stale of my birtb. I Owe much to the true and zealous friends in New England who worked so nob!/ for the Republican party and its candidates and to the emi nent scholars abd divines who, stepping aside from tho r ordinary avocations, made my cause their eaux*, and to loyalty, to principle added tho' special compli ment of standing as my personal repre tentatives in the National struggle. But the achievements for tho' Republi can causo in tbe East are even surpassed by the spleudid vii tories io the West In that magnificent cordon of State: that stretches from '.he foot-hills of the Alleghenies to the golden gato of thc Pacific, beginning with Ohio and ending with California, thu Republican bannei was borne so lofty that but a single Stat? failed to join iu t'.c wide accialm o triumph. I Nor should 1 do justice to my owi feelings it I failed tu thank tba Republi cans of the Empire Slcte, 'who'encono te red: HO many discouragements ant obstacle's, who fought-foes frr-u,' Withli aud foes from without, and who waga so strong a battle that the change of om vote io every'2,000'would have given u victory in the Nation. Indeed a chang of a little more tban 6,000 votes woufi have transferred New York, Indiano New Jersey and Connections to the Bc publican standard and Would have mad the North aa solid as the Gout h. My thanks w lld still be incomplete 1 I should fail to recbgnizo with specie gratitude that great body of worklngroot both native and foreign born, who gav me that earnest support, breaking troc old personal and party ties and findini in the principles which I represented ii th? Canvass, the safe guard and prot?t tiohOf their own fireside interests. ' '. The rc mit of the election, my frieadi will be regarded in tbe future, I tbinl as extraordinary. Tbe Northern State leaving out the cities of New York an Brooklyn from ' tbe count, sustained tl Republican cause"by a majority of moi than 400,000.' Almost naif a millie indeed of the popular vote of the citii of New York and Brooklyn threw the great strength and influence -with tl -Solid Sou;h and were tbe decisive el ment which gave to that section the coi trol of the National Government. Speaking now, not at all a? a defeat* candidate, but as a loyal and devott American, I think tbe transfer of tl political power of the Government ' the Sooth ls a crest National miafortnt II is a misfortune, becauae it introduc an element which cahoot losar?' hs mony and prosperity ' to the pooh' because It introduces into the Repub the rule of the minority. Tho fi instinct of an American' is' equality equality of right, equality of privllc; equality of -political power, that equnli which says to'every citizen : "Your v< -Is just aa good, just as potential as. t 'vote of ?ny Other citizen," That' cannot be raid to day; Ja', t United Sutes.

Theso Kort fa?w.h nei?/^ white meo io those Southero States, by nrsurping and absorbing tho rights of the colored roen, aro exerting iustdoublo tho political power ot the white mc 1 in the Northern States. I submit, my friends, that such a coq* ditton of affairs is extraordinary, unjust and derogatory to the manhood of. the North! Even those who are vindictively opposed to negro suffrage will not deny tust if Presidential electors are assigned to the South by reason, of tho negro population, that population ought to 'bo ?ero.Uted free suffrage in an election, o deny that olear proposition is to affirm that the Southern white mao io the Gulf States is entitled to double the political ^nwer 0f the Northern white man in tho Lake States. It is to afilirt that the Confederate soldier shall wield twice tho influence in the nation thai the Union soldier can, and that perpetual and constantly increasing superiority uhull bs conceded to tho Southern whits man in the Government of tho Union. If that be quietly conceded in this goner* ation it will barden into cur ?om until the badge of inferiority will attach to the Northern white mau as odiously ni over Norman noble stamped it upon the Saxon churl. This subject is of deep interest to the laboring men of the North? ; With the Southern Democracy triuu maul in their States and iu tho N allot, tho negroes will be compelled to work for just such wages as the whites may decree, wases which will amount, as did the supplies of the slavesj to a baro subsistence, equal in cash, perhaps, to .'15 cents per day, if averaged over the entire 8outh* Thewhito laborer io tho North-.will soon feel the .destructive effect cf this upon his own wag? . Tho Republicans have clearly sqon from the earliest day? of reconstruction that wages in tho South must: be raised to tho just recompense of tho. laborer, or wages io the North be ruinously lowered, and the party has steadily worked for the former result. A reverse influence will, be uow sot in motion, abd that condition of affaire produced which years', ago .Mr, Lincoln warned the freo laboring men of tho. North, .will provo hostilo to their independence and will inevitably lead.td a ruinous ? reduction of wages. A mere difference io the color of tue skip will not suffice for maintaining an entirely different standard of wages in contiguous and adjacent States, and the voluntary will be compelled to yield to the invol tl o t p.ry. So completely linvo.thc colored men in the South been already deprived hy tho Democratic party ol their constitutional and legal rights as citizens of the United States that lucy regard thu advent of that party to National power as tbs signal of their re '?oslafcaieat and ara affrighted because they think all legal protection for them Li gone.
