Statement by Mr. Charles W, Greene, JacksoNvILLE, TIL, Deo, 29, 1813, b the Editor of the Chicago Zvibuns & Bin: It was with much surpriso that I read In tho roport of the third day's proceodings at tho Docatur Convention, s refaronce to myaolf which would place mo fn & vory unenviablo po- aition before the publie, at the same timo that it coupled my namo with tho publication of which Tom mavagor. Yourroportor could hardly hava Leon unprojudicod when ho dotailed tho chargos ogainst me, and thon onlystated that I ** cluimed” to represent the State IHorticultural Sooloty, without giviug mo tho benefit of that oxplanation whioh dofeated a conspiracy to expol mo from tho Conventlon, and theroby nullify tho report of tho Committeo on Ros- olutions, Bo far ns tho persousl wrong 14 concorned, the public may have no espeoinl interest ; but, as this {a undoubtedly tho incop- tion of o groat national roform-movoment, it is advisablo that every vital ciroumstanco connect- ed with it should be definitely understood, The maetter roferred to was tho oxplring effort of tho dofented minority in the Convention, and the subject raisod by it should bo explained. Mr. Emory, of Chicago, snd myself, wera tho dolegates from the State Horticultural Socioty, regularly appointed at Ohompaign, and for our crodentiasls wo offered the unimpsachablo testimouy of Presldont Flagg (which tho Com- mitteo on Credontinls, or a numbor of thom, ro- fusod to accopt), and fnally of Dr. Humphroys, 8 Vico President of tho Hortloultural Socloty, who was pregent in tho Convention, We hnd the houor to ropresont & body of as subatantial citizens a8 thero oro in tho Btato, themsclves ropresontative mon, They aro mou whoso capital yiclds no roturn for yoara after Inveat- ment ; mon who aro, therefore, deoply concorn- ed for tho atability of our institulions and the Integrity of their publlc sorvants, We realizad, Liat this great reform-movement, for which both ofus had earnsstly labored through tho past two yonrs, hnd reached & crisis in its do- volopmeat when tho ideas which had created it sunst Lo aseortod and sustained, or it would be- :me o by-word in the mouths of its enemies, Quito unexpectedly I was chiosen by the tweuty dolegates from mK Congrossional _Distict to represont thom in the Commttes ou Resolutions, lMaving scquaintanco with only two of the twonty, Tam still at aloss to understand their reanons for so doing, Phe first sitting of that Committes developed o decided divorsity of opimon, A few wbro de- tormined to denouunco tha old Plrliuu und organ- 0 o distictively uow one, Noono noed cha'~ ongo the houcesty of their purpose in #o boliov- ingand aching. Tho luger number howavor, weredeaidedly of the opiuion that nelther parties; party-loaders, nor partv-machinery wero necose sary for o Govornment whoreln tho pooplo thour- eclvoa aro rulews ; and maintuined to the end that nominating Couventions should come frosh from the people, nud that no necessity oxisted sor specitic oflicors to call, and, if thoy ore o in- chuod, lo nmni{)ulnm such Conventions, They further bold that the necesrary organization for to-operative puryioses would oifer, ns it Lns dur- iug tho past six mouths of unbrokoen successes, ull nccesgary factlitios for organized political getion, Tho contest in the Committoe-room was o ferce oue, aud the frionds of the devoted balt-dozen nood not accusy them of dircliction of duty in their ondeavors to sccomplish their ourposo, Our report wna flunlly adopted 3 and although, 38 Becretary of the Cowmittoe, it bocame wy Tuty to express ite views in watten language, I snnot justly be charged with any further re- ipongibility than my support thereof in Com- 20n with my ton honorable colloagues, Your seport docs tho Chairman, Gen, Andorson, and iho other mombars of tho majority, grant in- luatice iu its retlections upon thein, ‘L'ho sce- ond rosolution in the platform woys admitted af- ler tho report hnd been propared. It hnd boen pregented a8 o soparato rosolution by Dr. Hoo- ton in tho Convontion, aud the applausn with vhich it was recervod was used ns an ar;ument fu its behalf in tho Committee-room. On my motion, it wag inserted to save a minority ro- Imrt, and to secure o fair lLeariug for the niinor- ity beforo the Convention. It will be observod thiat, excepting tho lust clause, its exprossion is fully ombodied in the preamble and first redolu- tion; so thatitis Lub a repotition. DBukitwas that last claugo which was all-important to its movers aud frionds, Tho Committes on Organi- tation Liad reported, through its Chairman, Dr, Hooton, & Constitution providing for an annual Convention to dotermine tho political nction of the Association. Iurthermoro, tho Vice-Presi- donts woro clothied with ample powers to pro- moto parlisnn purposes, whiel, it was oxplained, wore not intended for present uso, but to remain Intout, and be ready upon oceasion. Bearing this in mind, it will be mnllilr discov- ered that, if our allegianco is absolved from tho old partis, and that * we toill not act longer with them,” it is impoerative that a new party shall be formed, it wo act ab all, Hora is con structive authority for tha Immediate gearing together of tho latent party machiuory. ~When, therofore, the word *will” was changed to ‘-should * by more than's two-thirds majority it was natural that there should be somo bad temn- per wanifested, and human nature, as usual, did assert itself, While the worlk of the Convention is sdmitted to bave Loen very woil dono, the friouds of froo goverumont (freo from party-trammels and cau- cus nominations) must not relax thowr watchful care, loat, the s{:rlng-umv may develop o parti- 2an policy which will vory much disappomnt thoir Ppresent sanguine and just expectations, o quict nny misaprrolicnsions aa to mysolf, Jet mo horo record that I am no politician, have roted with both parties, according to tho charac- | Jor of the candidatos, and am no applicant for sny oftico in tho gitt of the pooplo. My hife nork lies in anothor direction, and In this case I have only actod ad ono of the pooplo (rulors), only desiriug Lo socure the clection of competont Ecrvants in placo of many now employed.

Tho Patrons scoin to look nt = tho flght ogmust patornal- ism from tho standpolnt of narrow-mluded gol- fishnoss, *‘Thoy soem to forget that patornalism may bo, and has boon, oxorciued {n its mont ob- noxious forms outsido of tho questions which directly nffect the matorial intorcsts of tho farm- ing population. Thoy do not seem to undor- stand that, outsido of puro politics and economy, thero s individual liborty to bo defendod in ro- ligious and wocial rolations, and that people gougrally will quite s cagorly defonil tho lattor a8 thoywill tho formor, \Why shonld tho farm- ors want tofght patornalism when it is dirocted agninst thomsolves, and at tho samo time bo instrumonton! in fnposing upon othor classes of the peoplo anothor kind of paternalism, equally wrong and obnoxious? And yot this {s procisoly what the Brato Grango Intonds to d, ‘Ihero is uot, and uevor way, o mors glaring ploca of patorunlizing dospotism than the pros- ont ‘emporance law of Ilmois, somo of the pro- visions of which are iniquitous, unroasounblo, and immoral @ oulyance. Tho outiro business of logislativo moralizing, Babbath-moking, and causing piotism in pubhd nffalrs, is it anything but paternnlism ; aud does it ot moro directly dostroy fudividual liborty thnn all tho grievances of the farniors combiaed ? Yet tho farmers invo always boon the stronghold of that sort of Phar- isoo logislating ; and uow, even aftor tho pooplo of Coolt County have, by & majorily of abont 12,000 votos, demonstrated tholr ~ dienpproval of this kind of patornalism, tho contral body of what clvimis to bo o powerful organization of farmors comes to tho frout to tell us that it has not Dbeon willing to learn a8 losson from tho rosult of that ecloction; tlat souco for tho goose s mol sanco for tho gandor ; that thoy do not care a whit for the rights of othors ; aud that, while patornalism is wrong whon it s oxeroisod against tho induss trial purauits of farmers, it is eminontly le'opor whon oxercised against tho individual riglits of anybody else. L'ko inconsistenay, stupldity, aud arrogajee of such prococdings aro vory apparent ; sud, if tho Grangers do roally intend to give thoir future support to coercive or probibitory ‘Lomporance, Civil-Dawags, or Buuday laws, and similur legislative humbug, thoy will find, to thoir disndvautago, that thore aro a great many volers in the State of Illinois who belisva that sauco for tho goowo is sauce for tho gandor, and who aro perfootly willing to dofoud tho individ- ual rights of farmers, provided that farmors nro alb:ln]ly willing to derend the individual rights of - others, Thore fa 8 majority of 12,000 votos in Ogok County that may very materially iafluouce the reaulbof the uext Hiale olsction; nnd, if tho farwers intond e Lave tho bonelit of that major- ity, or any part of it, they had botter not bo tvo rash iu adopting tho policy prescribed for them Dy the Slate Grango of Patrons of Husbandry au to tho presont ‘Lemperance (aw, T'hoio are, however, cheerful prospacts ss to tho good sonee of ot lonst somo of tho farmors of Tilinoiw, aud 1t is pleasant to notico that theso prospects come from tho rival organization to the V'ntrous of Husbandry,—tha Farmors' Clubs.
