Ylagg, President of tho State Farmeors’ Aesociation of Illinois, who anpounced aa his theme * Our Republican-De- mocracy, ospecinlly in its relation to the sgricultural olngses.” Tho following is an outlive of his romarks: The spoakor culled attention to the assortion of De Tocquerviile that the progress of Domocracy in this ago was aa inevitable as the power of Omnipotence, and tho confirmation of the opln- fon by Mill, Gorvinus, and othors, as well as by Iator exporionce. Republican-Democracy ho definod to bo a Domocracy united by & conatitu- tion, which in time must be DASED UPON THE IIGHER LAV ; o doctrine which, however maligned twonty years ago, i8 confirmed by tho philosophy and rengon ef all ages. Ancient govornmouts could only baso their olaims upon the pooplo by claim- 1ng & Divine vicogeronco which publio opinfon in modorn du{‘n lLad about exploded. A Domocraoy in a much higher and botter sense could be said to bo Divine, because ovory person - who votes conxciontiously puts his moral judgmont, so far a8 possiblo, info his volo for candidatos and measures. Moroovar, this form of government admits of indeflaite improvemont by increasing the intelhgouce and conscientiousuess of the coustituenoy, and historically is seon to be the natural form of government,—first, in the fact that all governmonts, however absolute and con- tralizod, Bhow at loast the remnants of an orig- inal unlr-govnrnmunt ; aad, socondly, in tho prasont irroprersible recurvence to demooracy | and democratic forms.

Dmvsatorx, Becretary, Co=operative Buymg and Selling, From the St, Louis Demacrat, Feb. 3, A preliminary meoting of roprosentatives to the National Gnnqn was hold last night, for the purposo of discussing a plan of co-operation in tho mattor of disposition of produce and pur- chase of supplies, tho propor developmenf and establishment of which "is to constitute'an im- Em-m:t part of the appronching sesaions of the ational Grange. About ol;htnnn ‘months ago, Mr. H. T. Elliott establishod & general commiesion house in_Chi- cago for tho purpose of handllug grain and pro- duco for the Patrons of Husbandry, and a little lator anothor uomfi:lny was formed for the oxclu- sive handling of livo stook in the same interest, For the first five or six months slmost nothing was done by cither houso, but after the matter bad bocome suficiently wflvarthad, and it be- came known that theuo firme wero roliable, and woroundor bond to several Btate organizations of Patrons for $175,000 and_$200,000 rospaotivoly, they woroe extonsively patronized. There is now @ similar business firm in each of the following oltiea: San Francisco, Oniro, St. Lows, Momphis, New Orlonns, and Whoeling. The Obloago firms are doiug business for Kangas, Nobraska, Dako- ta, Iown, Northern Missouri, Wisconsin, and Tifinofs. Town has tho bost developod eystem, oud & dosm‘i‘lfion of its workings thoro will sorvo to illustrate what ' is- proposed for tho whole country., ‘They have thoro a Btate Agent, and scattored about in the most: suitable places are moro than thirty grain-cleva- tors owned by looal organizations, and run by a salaried Bupeintondont. Grain and other pro- duco delivered to any one of theeo_olovators® ia shipped directly to tho markot, without passing througn the hands of two wor thres sets of middlemen, and the prodeler:!receives the full market value of his stuff minus_ the commiesion of but ona sat of morchants. Liko- wito in tho purchase of supplies, ho is enabled to obtain all tho nocessarios’ and some of the luxuries at wholesale prices. A striotly cash ‘businoss is done, and that contributoes largely to tlto succoss of tho enterprise. Mr. Elliott states that ho has ranuuflfl effected arrangoments by whioh he can furnish a 8400 cabinet organ to any Patrop for $200. He oxplained this by saying that it was because ho was nble to do a large business with the manufacturing houee, and solely upon & cnsh basis. The books of bis es- tablishment are open to, and aro examined monthly by, tho Executive Committes of each Btate Grange to which they bave given bond. A momber of tho National Grango said last night that another important item of business bofore this moeting would be the permanent ostublishmont of headquarters for tho National Association, and that, while Bt.

Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Toronto, Feb. 4.—Another Ontario Minis- torialist has been returned, and Dr. Robitallle, formor colleague of Bir John,.from Quocbec Provinco. The former won tho constituency from the Opposition. Oficial returns of tho Kingston eleotion give Sir John amajority of 88, but a scrutiny has developed the fact that more than that numbor of bad votes were recorded, and the sleotion is to be contested, The Hon. John Carling ia reportod to have de- olined to content his election in London. Ryan's return for Montreal Centro has been pmtgnumd, and tho case i8 to be heard on Monday noxt. Girourard, & Montreal advooate, and the un- succossful candidate in Beuparnos, bas brought an action for assault against his opponent, No- billard. Damages are laid at 82,000, Protests in a fow other casés aro spoken of, but the number of these I8 .exceedingly small. It has been rumored in cortain quarters that Sir John A.
