LEWIS URTS, of Marion, upon invitation, addressed tho Con- vontlon, 1o did not wish fo onconrage the iden, that ratlronds woro opposed to tho Intersts of farmors, 'Thoy weoro thoir bost friends, Tho oonteat was not agalnst tho railroads, but against the unjust ratos and discriminations made by them, In this contest, the right iy strong, and st prevail. ‘Thestruggle would bo a long and hard ono ; the wrongs would die hard. But, if they wont on cooly, collcetedly, dotorminedly, they would assuredly conquer in’ the ond. Tho advantages resulting from organization could not bo exaggerated, Iligh oflicials had dis- rogarded their oaths, betrayed the trust of the people, and trampfod upon saorad Iaws. The men whose duty it was to oxecute the laws sim- ly, smilod . upon this violtlon of truut, thig desooration of the hollest rights, and did nothing to punish it, or to seo that it was not ropeated, ‘I'he Hecre- tary of the Troasury SDO\IQ\\HII) bLad violated the 1aw by paying too high an intorest on u portion of the bonded debt of the uation, and, instond of receiving the penalty due to such a orlme, ho was rewarded with u Senatorship. But the peoplo are not helpless in their misfortunes. Tho_powor, tho remedy, is roally In thelr own hands, and it only romained for them to uao it disorostly to sccomplish nll that they deslro.’ Vhon Inws aro so framed that they cannot bo oxcouted, thore is always susploion that thero hiaa boon romothing wrong in thoir making, If the mon sent to logielativo bodles donot do thoir duty, reoall thom, and sond others to flll thoir placos, Boloct tho bost mon for oftico, and look “lpg: lillmsu with susplolon who scok offico por- sistontly, Amrythn ologo of Mr.Curts’ romarks, the Pron- fdent apologizod for the nbsouco of oxpooted orators, He had recolvad promiss of thoir pres- anco and co-operation from Mr. 8. M. Bmith, of Kewaneo, and Mr. O, Flagg, of Springflold, but noither had como. Ho hopod, in dofsult of moro polished and forclble oratory, THE FARMERS. TIEMBELVES m;ula como forward and sponk briefly for thom- solvos, Tho roquest was not without ita effoct, Tho romaindor of the proceodings consisted of short aposchos, generally Liomely, but almost slwazs to tho point, making the meoting ono of tho most lntorcadng hold during tho seagon, ML, 3, I TANGER oxprossed his sympathy with the causo. Tho ‘monopolies had monoy and overything nocessnry to carry on o war, oxcopt a good'eauso. They worounjuat nnd tyrannical, and just now on- gaged in tho imquitous Dbusluss of tramplin he nfirlmmurnl population under foot. Yet is sald that farmors must not combine. Thoy munt submit to lie down and bo trampled on, and ralso neithor hand: nor. voico in roslstanca. An oftlcial had told tho epoaker that it talos 260 bushols to got 360 bushels to tho hoad of tho market, To got’ 260 bushels of corn to New York, it takes 780 bushels. Extortlon liko thisls Fm! enduranco, Farmors must scek & romody. £ wa connot got ono sot of loglalators to do their duty ond find o romedy for thelr constitu- ents, thoy must sock nnothor. As long aa tho sposker Iived, ho would nover be controllod by any political party, [Applanse,] He might al- ways bo aot down as ono who would romaln o flrloud of justico, and in opposition to monopo- o8, . REV 3, D, BEIDENT, of Marion, complained that ho waa no orator like Bratus, but he would do the bost he could. Ho came to attond tho farmors' mocting, which o aaw had boen turned into a farmors’ love-feast. They delivered tholr grain at tho dopot, bus could nover tell whero it was going, or what tho sctual worth might Lo, Qorpora- tions should bo limited In their chargoes. Ho wanted to * know somothing nbout what proportion of tho price of their products belonged to tho farmors, The discriminations in rogard to froights, cepocially whero thero woro compoting linos, wore unjust. Livingnear to Chicago, they ough that nearness, Combinations should bo fought with combinations. Trom a united effort, great good and no harm was sure £o como. M. J. WADSWORTH, of Woosung, believed that-tho farmers had boen downtrodden. Pooplo were too much subjeoted to tho domination of partios. The farmors havo justice on their ide, and thoy should, by tho olection of ropresentatives of Intogrity, accom- R'lliluh whatover ends they might have in view. 0 poople should organize ovorywhero, and ‘work through thelr rmonentnfiws in the Log- islature, and through ballot-box, ponco and quietly. MR, M. W, SMITIH, OF OREGOY, sympathized fully with the cause. D, THOMAS BMITIL . never wont to solicol more than three months his life, 5o not much in tho way of oratory aould e oxpected from him. Tho capitalista obtained tho agsistance of tha agriculturists by promising them that they would c: their produce for 1. cents o milo. " Now seo whoro they had- got tho ratos. Firat, s soon 88 they had pouched tho money of the farmer, thoy put up the prices of transportation just whero thoy wanted thom, While the ~ farmers- romained undor thelr - wronges, _ the thought them 'good follows; . but, whon thoy bogan to complain, nothing was too bad to eay about them, Farmers wanted noth- ing but what was just and readonablo; tobo Jnihh,{‘:‘ii &rlcu ‘l?{ l,hni: l;‘r;:il‘lm,hlnd hayo avoryhodg elsa psid o Just prisa for- hag Yot,qnlthnngh nl::y sk for nothing boz what is right, they are tramplod down on every sido, and grievously oppressed. [Threo choors wore given for ‘' Unclo Tommy."’ COL. B, ¥. SIEETS, of Omfim' preforrod that tho farmors should do thotalking. o sympathized with tho move- mont, if ho understood it, and ho thoughs he did, Ho sympathized with overy effort to chospon transportation, equalizo clasges, nnd bring monopolis:s down to the lovel of the peo- plo, Tho ouly way out of tho prosont diffi- cultics wns by calm, quiot, protracted Iabor, continued for monthe, and perhaps yosrs. Ho onded with tho celobrated story of tho pig that had to b killed during army timos, because it made too violont an onslaught upon a soldier. * M. P, P. M'CAMLEY, of Rockvalo, sald that the farmers had mot to- gethor as thoir fathors mot years ago. Ho was 0t a foo to railroads, but to the iniquitica of railronds, Railrond men told them, whon tho ronds wero bullt, that they would carry - chenper than farmers could carry thomselvos. Thoy used to carry from Orogon, whent for sovon conts and corn_for fivo conts, Thoy helped to build thom under thoe inducement of such promises. Tho profita of the railroads aro iniquitously dividod ; they go into the pooketa.of o favored fow. Farmers aro on the vergo of bankruptocy. Tho monoy that they make is diverted from their own pookets into tho pockets of monopolists, Hosgreed with what tho Chairman hind said about_tho gontloman oxpected to ad- dress thom, , It was woll that theso sponkors had not como ; farmers must learn to speak for thomselves. ,They must come to the point now ond _declare themsolves : thoy muet say, X will,” or ¢ T will not," in a trug flat-footed way. The bost mon must bo sont to the Logislature,— thoso who ware in the intorcst of tho farmors. Tho sposker argued tho decieion of Judgo Lawronce in the McLenn County case, but not claborately. MR, J. W, EDMUNDS, of Nnehun, said that pricesworenow so high that thero was no profit in farming, He uscd to got onrs from Franklin Grove to Chicago for §20, They aro noy 285, He did not know exactly Low to meot the difticultics undor which thoy labored. Compotition should bo mot with cow- petition. Demand must always ho followed b supply. A double-track road should boe Lmilt that would ca singlo-track roi holp tho mattor. MR, DAVID MILLER . complained that the monopolios were working against the farmors, and grinding thom down w’imm they dldn’t want to bo. o was in full sympathy with tho movement, MI. 0. A. XING, of Whito Rook, said that tho samo law which compolled him to move hiss house and barn, whon o ruilrond wanted tho right of way, should con- trol the rajlroads in tho intorosts of the people. Tho pork-packers lhod troubled his Im- agination during the winter. Whi is pork 8o low? Last fall, the packers “had 1 convention at Chioago. They found out, by statistics of Assossors, tho onlire resources of the Wost ond Northwest, the oxact number of hogs that would bo offered in market, “Then thoy fixed the prico at & low rato, and controlied it during tho winter. Latorin the senson, they hold another mooting, and ralsod the prico of cured pork. How is this troublo to bo mot? Tho Assossors must not be allowed to give the information upon which such action hostile to tho farmors is prodicated.

GRANT'S SECOND ADN-rit A Cortainty that It Wi the Lovel of M. * Tashington Correspondence . ' Thoso wl:‘gwmtnnninud an: o Grant's socond ndministrativa vuiie ides some reform of the Civil Bervico hayo now abane donod _it. The distribution of the spoils is carried on ‘unblushingly in the old way. Thora is not tho least differenco perceptible. ‘When horo and there a protonso is made of pro- motion acoordingto the now Civil-Bervico rulos, it looka liko meroly & oruel mockery. Senators and represontatives aro distributing offices omong ttmh- retainors just as they did in the good old timos whon the Clvil-Bervica reform was not spokon of. Tho ofica-mongors’ business flourishes as much a8 ovor. Nor is thore tho lenst shadow of Liope loft that the President will do anything to stem tho tide, When it becamo known hore that Mr. Georgo Willinm Curtis was dlsgatisfled with the appolntment of Mr. Bharpo to the Survl:{lnmhip of the port of Now Yorl, s dorisive emilo might bave boen scon on the facos of thoso high in influence, TFor whon the Prosidont showed himself #o uttorly disdain- ful of tho spirit of tho civil-sorvicerulos ng to reappolnt those notorions charactors Packard and Onsoy—men who had boen * shown up " by a Congroesional invesligation not only as mera olitical strikers, but as corrupt mon, notably sa i asoy's caso—tho indecency 8f Sharpo's ap- olntmont dropped into utter Insignificance. he ecandal cy COasey’s annlntmom W88 80 reat that many oxpected the Sonate would*ro- fuut it, espoclaly a8 it wes known that Mr, West, the Bonator from Louisians,:would earnestly op= 0sp its confirmation, But, as I have just anmud, the Bonate confirmod the appointment to-day, and it {8 now cloar that nothing in that line will hencoforward bo impossible. If JMr. Curtis could liston to tho curront talk mmong Senators and Congressmen high in tho confi- donce of tho Whito Houso, if ho could hear the contomptuous encers ond ridioule of which his civil-service rulos are the subjoct, ho would scon. bocomo awaro that Lis dissppolntment in the Bharpo affair is by no moans tho worst snubbing ho bas rocelved. To oxPcab a genuino reform of the civil sorvico from *that crown" is simply shsurd. Wo may set it down as a cer- tainty now that tho moral tono of Gon. Grant's socond Administration will not bo a particle abovo the lovel of tho firat, and, if the peopla wanb_roform, they will havo to look to othor sgoncies and Influonces. In atill anothor respect the Presidont has dis« appointed the expectations of thoge who would boglad to aid him in aoything saloulated to bonofit the country. It was announced shortly be- foro tho 4th of Maroh that hie would visit tha Bonthern States and inform himself on the spok of tho real condition of things, The Bouthorners here, of whom I have seon many, without dise tinotlon of party received that promiso with the utmont satisfaotion, Thoy hoped that suck @ i:umny would be tho starting-point of a mora telligont and just policy. But tho Prosdont has now resolved, instoad of vlaitl.ufi thnSo;thzlu go to_ Bt.
