At tho mooting tho following preamble was adopted: Imploring the continued assistance of DiviueJMnster to guide us in our work, our we here pledge ourselves to faithful and harmonious labor, for nil future timo to return by our united efforts to the wisdom, justice, fraternity aud political views of our forefathers. A memorial to the Patrons of Husban dry in the cotton States was ulso presen ted, and unanimously adopted. It is au argument in favor of mixed husbandry in the South, instead of expending the energies of the people raising a single, crop. It says: "During the past seven years, our cot ton fields have added to tho wealth of the world 82,009,000,000,' and caused prosperity to smile upon every one who has handled our crops, save those who struggled for its production. Annually the energies of the cotton planter have been exhausted in attempting to produce a maximum crop of a single staple, whilst quite as frequently he hns reduced his means in supplying his necessary wants. A system based upon such a policy and producing such results must be radically wrong, and, if presisted in, will lead to bankruptcy and ruin. "No people can ever become prosper ous who are not self-sustaining. Our fertile soil, cxhaustlcss mineral wealth, abundant water power and general salub rious climate avail us nothing if annually wo expend millions for subsistence. It i3 generally conceded that nomo-growu bread is cheaper thau purchased supplies aud tlu observation of every planter is that those Southern farmers who live within themselves are more independent and less incumbercd tvith debt than those who have relied solely upon the cotton crop. Were it otherwise, it is hazardous for any peoplo to rely upon others for a supply of those articles which are neecs sary for their daily consumption." It then refers to the famine which more than once hns occurred in India owing to the efforts of the people to grow cotton to the exclusion of bread-stuffs and adds: "During the past year, portions of Iowa Minnesota and Dakota have been invaded by grasshoppers, which destroyed every vestige of vegetation' Imagine you condition, should n similar invasion be como general in the North-east, and coupled with this idea, the total fuilurc of the cotton crop, either from worm drouth, or any other unavoidable cause Improbable as such visitations may a] pear, have we the power to prevent them And is it wise to subject ourselves to the possibility of becoming the victims of such calamities? Our wisest, aud safest policy is as far as practicable to produce at home our necessary supplies. "Is there a farm in the South upon which this cannot be done, and at the same timo produce an average cotton crop, as tho net results of the farmer annual labor? We believe there is no Annually 4,000,000 bales of cotton ore produced upon Southern soil; but whatpr portion of this vast amount, is returned to indicate our prosperity? One-half of ib expended for necessary supplies, whil the remainder is divided between laboi and taxes; hence the cost of production has exceeded tho value of the artic produced. Shall this continue? Extcu sive cotton crops have evinced our unity of purpose, and entailed poverty upon us An equally uniform adhesion tomixed husbandry would secure our recuperation Cotton is necessity, nnd the extent necessity can be calculated with exact liess. If JJ,f>00,00() hales are grown, they will be consumed before any other crop can bo gathered, nnd a rcmuncrativ market price will be sustained by the consequent demand. If 4,000,000 bal are grown, the large marginal exeess w control and depress tho market. The alternatives forsiie.ccjs arc numerous, b we need rely upon (lie .-ingle one of co operating in the determination to subsist at homt: With this end attained, there is no reason why we should not be the hap piest, most independent and moid prospe rous people on tl.v carilb" * The memorial is signed' liy tho Masters of the Stute.
