TIIEIR LIPOtTA ?T' TO 7111, An EssRy Rood Before the Summer MoInHg of 0h0 S;to Grango by Gon eral John Brattoii. . is, perhaps, not inappropriatc to congratulato you, sir, and all here assembled, on the changed anm4pices inder which we hold this me1(etitig for the promotion of the agrictltural and mnecianlical intor ests of South Carolina. For years, the State, smothered in fraud and corruptiol, wsl sinking, carrying wvich heor all tho intorests, public and privato, within bor 'borders, into the slough of despair. The methods that had grown up with our growth, amd i,rv vo adiriably adapted for teio condut of our po litical 1l4irs, inl the butter days of the common iealt, were utterly iumadequate for such an emergency. No advocacy of right, however U10lo t ard colivincing, had- the slightest ellect or tle power that was ernshing un. While there Ias a general senth mnclt that organization was neceR smy to oven it hol1o of relief, the education, training and, above all1, the customs of our people present cd almost insulI perhl-be obshlmtis in the way of effectively operating it. To lift a people out of their old habit f I hought and action, it, is not iflicieit, tio demoinsIate the inadequacy of ohl nethods and present general views of now%- ; but it iH necessary to frame it plan, a de!f;ito 1111d intelligiblo plan of at-hou, that will ilvite thiemI by its promise of oflicacy, to 10)aandol tihe old and lay hold of the new. This pac.tikal plan for applying Ihe power of united sentiment and united eflort was most clearly coi coived and irst put in operation here in Andlerson. Tho Anderson constitution, with Its celebrated -ighith article, is, as it were, thc keystone of the arch o) which our grand political triumph rests. To-day, tihe State, reinstated in the old homestead, is restoring its laindimarks and pitting it in order to fuster, with gratefil care, the energies of her impoverished but hopeful sons. That we are assembled under these circumstances and in this place, for this purpose--the promo, tion of that great interest Onl which the prosperity of tile State, howevrc free and u1n tr1m1 melled, :Po largely denends-is calculated to inspire tHie liveliest hope that omo plan may be c-Vlved that wvill bring up a restored agricultitre to the support of a restored State. '1ho pin l)ionI prevails that 0our old1 mlethIods of cond ucting agricultural of the situation: that they are wastefully and steadily reducing our' resources ; that under0l them lromp1let.e exhaustion is only a (1ues Lion of time. The necessity for ahantige is obvious, to even the sasuaml observor. What that chantge shall be, and howv it is to be accom plisheOd are questions of tihe gravest .nter'est, and will doubItloss meet withb due conside ration anid dis - aussion during this meeting. I piro pose to direct your attention to the position held lby live stock ini "gon iral agriculture," with the view and Liope of developing its bearing onl this importanit question. TIhe ,sublject assigned to me, "Cattle," ranks for'emost under the general head, "Live Stock." I start with the p)rop)osition that the true hmonsure of the real value of land is its capacity to support live stockc. There may bo0, and are, ox traneous circumustances wvhich rnodlify this valuation ; but they are local, transient, and, indeed, are but sup)erficial structures, b)uilt up on the great underlying intrinsic value which holds good in every country on tihe faceo of the earth ; in overy tge of tile world fromt the time when "Abel sacrificed tlie firstlings of his flock" to the plresent ; ill every stage of agricultur'e, from that wvhich first settled mian in a fixed rtbodo and redeemed him from savage life to that of the most rlaborate and scientific Rystem yet rtttained. It is as true of the cotton belt of South Carolina as of tihe blue grass region of Kentucky ; of the farms of Now England as of the cattle ranches of Texas. In tihe incipient stage of agricul turn, berds and fibeka 'we're t.he primc initcretit; wore the principal source of supply of both food and clothing for man. Their only 110101 of subsistence wias the natur, al pstllrage, and the only viliation of land wam its a, iity to support them. Tillage (lid not begiln until later. Ileud, tle Alinge from the roviml', life of the savago, seeking his livelihood by the chaso, to the hut of I lie herdsman was the birth of agricul ture, an11d tillage was intro duced and it first used only to add to the crude luxury of incipicnt home life. It was not until the advent of c nunerve an<d manfac tures, which, from equally crude beginningm, opened ill) al ever ox. panding field of employinot for colsuiier of agricult.ural products, that tillage 11111(111much progress. The growth of these great interests created a demand onl agriculturo for her products whivi greatly stiimu. lated her in all of her branches, but particularly in the cultivation of what may he teried concentratecl cropti-crops that would bearl transportation to market. Thenl it was that tillage begaln its, earoer of ncroachmnent, its work of absorlb ng pasturage. Field after field of pasture litd was takell into cultivi tion and run to 0XhIansUi in those mlikict crops, until the area of pairl 1110 land, (tie range,) which is still the only micans of support pro vided for live stock, is rednied to almost nought, amd the cattle and live stock to corresponding propor tions, both i as to (Ilailtity and (Iul: ity. Thus it this stige we find loss iml t1he reA value Of huld aecom panied by proportionate reduction and los i in live sftock. The con p(sation for this loss iS-the growth of Civiliza'tionl 1iia tihe ca)itll stord ill its groat interests. This brief a1nd imperfect, state ment. as far as it goes, is a fair and correct sumnary of the rise and progress, Of ngriculture in every (OuAn try in hlie vorld ; certminly in those whose ON- leople ) i have lifted chemselves from i a stato of barbar ism to that of enlightened civiliza.--, tionl. This now country of ours, although conforming in time main to the general course of agriculture, prlsets special and modifying features, the considerationl of which may be prolitable as well as inter esting. They arise from the fact that our agriculturo is not a native of this country. Only a few years ago tie most cnlightened and eergetic civilization in the world, that of the Anglo-Saxon, found lodgment on the eastern shore of this then great wilderness, the hunting grond of the savaqo and the lair of wild beasts. The vi,gor with which it pushed its way into tho interior, driving barbaricm before it and subjecting wild nature to its isos and purposes, indicated an accession of energy from the transplanting of such all accession as should have prepared thie world for its startling and wonderful nehijevomoent of bridling the caroqr~ img elements, and hitchinag the pow.. or of steatm and the activity of lightning to its car of progress. This "grand march of ciilitaption westward1," a rich theme for poet, orator or* phlilosophoer, has also) its intorest for tho agricultui-ist. With thme civilization latndod e on r coast was the agriculture from whbich it derived its being and the nourish montneccessary for its subsistence and growth. No mowiling infant ill thle crude nursery of the hoi-dmna's hut, but in the vigorous strength of developed maturity, it p)resented an aggressive front to this vast strong hold of fierce, valiant, desperate barbarism. It was to the aggressive olomon t--agrionituro-that civilig,a tion is indebted for its "giund march westward."
