Wright thought this a very proper sub? ject for Congressional legislation, and saw uo constitutional oi jtjotious in the way. Ferry said he bud objacted to this bill because of itc tendency.

Tbe National Grange received tbn re? port of tbe Committee on Resolutions aud adopted it nnauimously. . It id as follows: Profoundly impressed with the truth tbat tbe N itioual Grungo of the United States should definitely proclaim to tbe world Ub general "objects, wo hereby uuanimously make this declaration of the purpose of tho Patrons of Hus? bandry: 1. United by the strong aud faithful tie of agriculture, wo mutually resolve to labor for tho yood of our order, our country and muukiud. 2. We heartily endorse tbe sentiment, "la essentials, unity; iu non-essentials, liberty; iu all things, charity." 3. We shall endeavor toadrauoo our cause by laboring to accomplish tbe fol lowiug objects: To develop u better and higher manhood and womuuboodamong ourselves; to enhance tho comforts uud attractions of our homes and strengthen our attachments to our pursuits; to fos? ter mutual understanding and co-opera? tion; to maintain inviolate our law:;; to stimulate each otb.r to labor; to hasten the good time coming; to reduco our expenses, both individual and co-opera? tive; to buy less aud produce more, iu order to make our farms sell-sustaining; to diversify our crops, and crop uo more than wo can cultivate; to condense the weight of our exports, selling less iu the bushel and more on tho hoof uud in tho fleece; to systematize our work and cal? culate intelligently our probabilities;* to discountenance tho credit system, mort? gage system, fashion system aud every other system tending to prodigality aud bankruptcy; wo proposu to ant together for our mutual protection und advance? ment of the association; wo shall uvoid litigation us much as possible by arbitra? tion; we shall constantly ttrive to secure entire harmony, good will uud brother? hood among ourselves and to make our order perpetual; we ijhaii earnestly en? deavor to suppress personal, local, sec? tional and national prejudices, all un? healthy rivalry, all Hellish ambition. Faithful adherence to these principles wjll insure our mental, moral, social und material advancement. ?i We desire to briug producers uud coiuumers, farmers aud manufacturers, iuto tli3 moat direct and frieudly rela? tions possible; heuc ? we must dispense with tbe surplus of middlemen. We wage UO aggressive warfare against any other interests whatever; ou the con? trary, all our ucts and all our efforts, us far us business is concerned, are not only for the- bene?t of producers aud consumers, but also lor all other inte? rest - that tend to bring these two par? ties into speedv aud economical contact. Hence we hold I bat transportation com? panies of every kind are necessary to our success; that their interests are iu timately connected with our interests, and harmonious action is mutually ad? vantageous, keeping in view the first sentence in our declaration of principles of action?that individual happiness deepens our gem ml prosperity. We shull, therefore, udvoeute for every .Stute increase iu every uraufioahle *?"?w of all facilities for transporting cheaply to the seaboard, or between home pro? ducers and consumer', all productious j of our country. Wo urj not enemies of I railroads, navigable uud irrigating ca? nals, nor of uuy corporations that will advance our individual interests, nor of any laboring clashes. In our noble or? der, there is no Communism and no ugrariunisiu. We are opposed to such spirit uud munigument of uuy corpora? tion or enterprise us tends to oppress people- and rob them of iheir just pro tits. Wo arc not enemies to capital, but w: oppose the tyrauuy of monopolies. We long to see tho antagonism between capital and labor removed by .:rm jun eouseut and by culightenod statesman? ship worthy of the nineteenth century. Wo are opposed to excessive salaries, high rates of interest, und exorbitant per ceutagu on profits or trade, as they greatly increase our burdens, anil do not bear a proper proportion to tbe profits of the producers. We desire only self protection aud protection of every true interest offered by legitimate transac? tions, h gitiaiato trade, and legitimate profits. We shall advance tho cause of education among ourselves aud for onr children by all just means within our power. We especially advocate for our agricultural and industrial colleges that practical agriculture, domestic science uud all arts which adorn tho home, be taught iu their courses of study. 5. We emphatically and sincerely as? set t the oft-repeated truth taught iu onr organic law, tbat the grange?uutiouul, Stato or subordinate?is not u political or party organization. No grange, if true to its obligations, can discuss po? litical or religious questions, nor cull political conventions, nor nominate can? didates, nor discuss their merits iu its meeting. Yet the principles we teach underlie all true politics, all truo states? manship; and if properly carried out, will tend to purify tho whole political atmosphere of onr country, for wo seek tho greatest good to the greatest num? ber. But wo must always bear iu mind I that no ouo by becoming a grange inoiu j ber gives up that malioiiublo right aud t duly which belongs to every Americ.u citizen to take proper interest iu Uu politics of his country. On tho con? trary, it ia right for every member to do a!I in his power legitimately to Influence for good the action of uuy political pur ly to which ho belongs. 0. By the nature of onr organization, it being peculiarly a farmers' institution, we eiuuef admit all to our ranks. Many are excluded not booanse tboy are pro? fessional men, or artisans, or laborers, bnt because they have not sufficiently a dircot interest in tilling or pasturing tbe I soil, or maj have some interest in con? flict with our purposes; but we oppeal to all good citizens for their oordial co operation to assist ns in onr efforts to? wards reform, tbat we may eventually remove from our midst the last vestige of tyranny aud corruption. 7. It shall be an abiding principle with us to relieve any of our oppressed and suffering brotherhood by any means at our command. Last, but not least, we proclaim itj among oar purposes to inculcate a proper appreciation of tbe abilities undj sphere of woman, as is indicated by ad? mitting her to membership and position! in our order. Imploring tbe continued assistance of our Divine Master to guide us in onr work, we here pledge ourselves to faith? ful and harmonious labor for all future time to return by our united efforts to tbe wisdom, justice, fraternity and po? litical views of onr forefathers. A memorial to the Patrons of Hus? bandry in tbe cotton States was also! presented, and unanimously adopted. It is an argument in favor of mixed' husbandry in the South, instead of ex? pending the energies of the people raising u einglo crop. It says: "During the past seven years, onr cottou fields have added to tho wealth of tbe world $2,000,000,001), and caused' prosperity to smile upon every ooo who has handled our crops, savo those who struggled for its production. Aunua?y the energies of the cotton planter have been exhausted iu attempting to pro? duce a maximum crop of a single staple, whilst quite as frequently he has reduced bis means in supplying bis ne? cessary wants. A system based upon such a policy aud producing such re? sults must.bo radically wrong, and, il persisted iu, will lead to bankruptcy and ruin. "No people can ever become prosper? ous who are uot self sustaining. Our fertile soil, exbnastless mineral wealth,! nhunduat water power und general sa labiious climate avail ns nothing if annually we expend millions for sub sisteuce. It is generally conceded that home-grown bread is cheaper than pur? chased supplies, uud the observation ol every planter is that those Southern farmers who live within themselves are more independent and less inuumbered with debt than those who have relied solely upon tho oottou crop. Were it otherwise, it is hazardous for auy peo pie to rely upon others for a supply ol thoRO articles which ure necessary fot their daily consumption." It then refers to tho famine which more than once has occurred iu India, owing to the efforts of the people to I grow oof ton to the exclusion of bread stulls, and udds: "During the past year, portions ol Iowa, Minnesota uud Dakota have been invaded by grasshoppers, which de? stroyed every vestigs of vegotutioo. Imagine your condition, should a simi? lar invasion become general iu the North-euit, and coupled with this idoa, the totul failure of the cotton crop, either liom worm, drought, or any other unavoidable cause. Improbable u9 such visitutious may uppear, havo we the power to prevent them? Aud is it wise to subject ourselves to the possi? bility of becoming the victims of such calamities? Our wisest, and sufest policy is as far ns practicable to pro I dues "{ j." ?>.?.. mir necessary snpoljes. "Is there a furm in the South upon which this cannot bo doue, and at lht< same time produce an average cotton crop, us the net results of tbe farmer'* auuuul labor? We believe there is not Aunualiy 1.000.000 bales of oottou ur* produced upon Southern soil; but whu' proportion of this vast amount m r? turned to indicate onr prosperity? Uui half of it is expended for necessary sup plies, whilst the remainder is divider between labor uud taxes; hence tho i *.?sl of production ban exceeded the vuIih o the article produced. Shall this continue' Extensive cotton crops have evinced oui nuity of purpose, aud entailed poverty upon us. An equally uinform adho siou to mixed husnandry would seenn our recuperation. Cotton is a necessity and the extent of tbat uecessitv can b< calculated with exactness. If 3,500,00( hales ure grown, they will be consume, before another crop can be gathered uud a remunerative market price will b< sustained by the consequent demand If 4 500.ODO bales are growu, tbe largi marginal uxco.-s wiil couirol und depres; tbe market. The alternatives for sue cess uro numerous, but wo neod relj upon tho single one of co-operating ii the determination to subsist at borne With this end attained, there is uc reason wVy wo should not bo the hap piest, mobt independent and most pros perous people on tho earth." The iu- ntorial is signed by the Master: of tho State Granges of South and Norll Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida Arkansas, Donisiana, Georgia and Ten uesseo, und was uot only heartily np proved by the Committoo on Resolu tions, bnt endorsed by every member o the National Grange. _ _ _ ? Among Dn. Jones' Cubes Ybstbrdai were Mr. J. Askin\ of Edgelioid, o rheumatism and pterygium, and Mrs C. Woolsey, of Murion County, who bu< been sulTeriug for years with a chroui diseuee.

It. and S. 0. B. B. vs. tue Fabmebs.?We take the follow? ing communication from tbe Wiunsboro Newt: I The latest edict from the red tape de? partment, at Columbia, is tbe unkiudest out of all, and well may we poor uriven to-the-wall farmers exclaim El tu Brute! "You must move your fertilizer with? in forty-eight hours, or you will be charged five dollars per day per car load, or five cents per day per sack." I Now, Mr. Editor, it is simply im? possible for many of us to get this per? emptory information, consequently we {must suffer or do without that which jswells onr crop to 4,000,000 bales. > These railroad dignitaries ignore the fact that eaoh ton of fertilizer they bring to os gives to them for transport? ation four bales of ootton more than the area would have produced without it; and these four bales of ootton carried at an unauthorized rate of local tariff, should be remunerativo sufficient lor at ;least a little storage. We bad the op? portunity recently of hearing an emi? nent jurist on this point of over charges, and we hope to hear our solicitor has taken the matter in hand. Would it not be well for our cotton buyers to look into this matter. We are informed that the over charge from Winnsboro to Columbia is forty or fifty cents per bale. Presuming that a firm ships 1,000 bales, they are over charged $400 or 3500. Bead the charter, gen? tlemen, and do not always submit to as? sessments, because they are made by the genius of evil and tbe powerful. ME JUDIOE. !
