‘ems of law to minister to the all-contro! sities of hunger. Changes similar Inc measurably equal in extent, thourh in Many cases ti porary in duration, have beon adopted by several oth 3 under circumstances which ret “vropeae governments, der it very doubtfal how soon, if ever, # return wit raasle to the former policy of @ close trade in theaeces- iva of human life New markets of vast extent and tnealoniable value have thns been opeued for our agrioulturs! surplus, the durability and steadiness of which it is impossible yet fo mearure with oertainty. It is in our pewer to say, however that « great body of provocations to counter- vuillog restrictive commercial ragulacions is now re- moved in some instances permanently, and in others temporarily in form; and it would seem to be the part of wisdom, for the agcioulture of this country, by fur- nishing these markets to the extent of the demand, witb the best articles, at the fairant prices, to show to those countries, and their respective governments, that re ciprocal commercial regulations, if they offer ‘no other and higher attractions, present to their people a safe- Kaurd against starvation. Such is the connection, now, between our agriculture and the export trade and foreign markes ; and these re- lations are to be exteudedand strengthened, rather than ireuinseribed and weakened, by our agricultural ad- Yances. The consamption of the country is far short efits production, and cannot become equal to it within any calculable period. On the contrary, the excess of pro- duetion is to iuerease with the increase of population and settlement, and the improvements inagriculture and agricultural education. These appear to me to be facts, srising from the condition of our country, and the tastes and inclinations of our people, fixed beyond the powor of ehange, and to which theories and principles of political economy must be cenformed, to be made practically ap- plicable to us. I simply propose to inquire aa to a fact, which must control the appticstion of theories and principles of po- litiewi economy touching this point, to our country and its agricultural population, without raisingawy question to the wiadom ofthe one or the soundness of the other. Is the consumption of this country equal to its agri- cultural production, or can it beeome so within any cul- culable period of years? How is the fact ? May I not inquire without offence, or transcending the limits I have prescribed for myself in the discussion? Can a fair cxaminstion sorupulously confined to this point, takes political bearing, or disturb a political feeling? It is cer- tainly not my design to wound the feelings of any mem- ber of the society, or of any citizen of the country; and | have convinced myself that | may make this inquiry, and express the conclusions of my own mind as to the result, without doing either. If] shall prove to be in er- ror, it will be anerror as to the fact inquired after, and not as to the soundness ot the principle in political economy dependent upon the fact for its application, be- to the soundness of the principle I attempt no ‘and offer no opinion. {t will be an error as to the applicability of a theory to our country, and not as wisdom or policy of the theory, when it can be practically applied. I studiously refrain from any expres- sion. as inappropriate here, With the indulgence of the society, [will inquire as to the fact, Our country is very wide and very new. Itembraces every variety of climate and soil most favorable to agri- cultural pursuits, [t produces already almost every ag- ricuitural staple, and the most important are the ordins- ry productions of extensive sections of the country, and are now sent to the markets in great abundance. Yot our agriculture is in its infancy almost everywhere ~-and at its maturity nowhere. It is believed to be en- tirrly safe to assume that there is not one single agri- oultaral county in the whole Union, filled up in an agri- cultural seuso—not onu such county which has not yet lund to be brought into eultivation, and much more land, the cultivation of which is to be materially im- proved, before it can be considered as having reached the measure of its capacity for production. If this be trus of the best cultivated agricultural county in the Union, how vast is the proportion of those counties which have entire townships, and of the States which have not merely counties, but entire districts, yet wholly unpeopled, and uoreclaimed from the wilderness state. When to this broad area of the agricultural field of our country we add our immense territorier, organized and unorganized, who can compute the agricultural capaci- ties of the United States, or fixa limit to the period when our surplus agricultural productions will increase with incressing yexrs aud population? Compare the census of 1830 and 1840 with the map of the Union, and witness the increase of population in the new States, which are almont exclusively agricultural, and who can doubt the strong and resistless inclination of our people to this pursuiy? Conmect with these considerations of extent of coun- try, diversity of soils, varicties of climate, and partial and imperfect cultivation, the present egricuitural prov- pects of this country. Witnossthe rapid advances of the Jast dozen years in the oharaeter of our cultivation, the quality and quantity of our productions from @ given broadth of land, and the improvements in all the imple- ments by which the labor of the farmer is assisted and applied. Mark the vast change in the current of edu- cated mind of the country, im respest to this pursuit; the awakened attention to its high respectability as » profession, to its safety from hazards, to its healtbful- ness to mind and body, and to its productiveness. Lis- ten to the oalls for infermation, for education, upon agri cultural subjects, and to the demands that this educa- tion shall onsticute a department in the great and all- syaters of our common sehool education, a ‘at this moment receiving the especial attention ng pressed torward by the renewed energies of y. Behold the numbers of professors, honored a the highest testimonials of learning conferred io country, devoting their lives to geoiogical and che- al researches osloulated to evoive the laws of nature counected with sgricultural production. Go into our colleges aad institutions of learning, and count the youu men tolling industriously for their diplomas, te qualify themselves to become practical and successful faimers, already convivosd that equatly with the cleri- cal. tos legal. and the medioal professions, that of agri- cultare requizes a thorough aud systematic education, aud its snacesfal praccive the exercise of an active iaind devoted to diligent study. The American farmor, then, whila carefally studying. as be shenid not fail to do, tho necessities, the wants and ihe (asiws of all clasres of ‘coueumers of his productions in bis own countey, must not limit bis researches for a soarket within those marrow bounds. He must extend his observations along the avenues of commerce, as fur ommerce of his country extends, or car be ex ind, and inetract bimself as to the necessities and * and tastes of the consumers of agricultural pro- ductions in other countries. He must observe atten Lively he eourse of trade, and the causes calculated to exert influence upon it; watch closely the commerelal poliey of other countries, and geard vigilantly that of his own; accommodate his pro- di 4, a4 far asmay be, to the probable demands upon the war and uaderstand how to prepare thera for ‘ar market for which they are designed.

The gresa mado is bringing together the unsettled mind of the country, and producing the very general impression thi the time has arrived whon the foundations of tic, practical agricultural education should be the superstructure commenced. It is universally conceded that agriculture has shared but lightly in the fostering care and government patron- age which have boen liberally extended to commerce and manufactu nor is it believed that additional public expenditure is necessary to enable the State to do all that can reasonably be required of it, to accomplish this great object. Our educational funds are rich, and the leges, academies and common-schools of t! liberally in the distributions from them, whi mauure to be applied, be planted and produced. success, the appro] svhool, tor the education of teachers, instituted at the sont of government, is also mainly supported from these funds, These institutions present the organization, through which, perhaps better than through any inde- peudent channel, this instruction can be universally dis- semipated song the agricultural population of the State. 1 additions to the school district libraries may 19 with reference to this branch of education, and thus place within the reach ef all, the dissoveries as they progress, and the rules of husbandry deduced from them, as they shall be settled and given to the pens of the competent professors engaged pursuing the ‘This society, and like associations, may, through ap- propriate committees, their corresponding secretarie pubile spirited commercial men, and otherwise, colle and embody in their transaction, facts and information respecting the markets, foreign and domestio; the pre- sent and probable supply of agricultural products; the mode and manner of presenting the principal produo- tions in various markets in tl table form; the state and prospects of trad the changes present and prospective in licy of our own and other countries, with the probs [alcatipis ipa the sqvicuisuenl market. ‘The sostmen agricultural press will doubtless come power. fully to the aid of the associations, in all efforts of this character, and having these great objectsin view. In this way the foundation may be gradually laid, and the materials collected for the commencement of those agricultural studies, which time and application, with idence of their utility in practice, would ‘stem, to be engrafted upon the course of pursued in the colleges, academies and and made # branch of the studies of in the Normal School, piaced under the superintendence of an instructor selected for the pur- pose, and qualified to prepare his classes for teaching the studies in the common schools of the State. ‘Thus a generation of farmers would soon ceme for- ward, well educated in the great and essential principles of agricultural production; in the true relations exist- ing between agriculture, commerce and manufactures, and in the aduptation and preparation of their products for the agricultural markets. Such farmers, with the continued aid of the scheols in which they were taught, would become the best manual labor instructors for their successors, ‘The passage of time reminds me that | am extending these remarks beyend the proprieties of the occasion and the patience of my audienoe. A single refisction shall close them. However confidently the opinion may be entertained that other circumstances and relations might present » prospect for the agriculture of our state and country more stable, independent and flattering, certain it ia, that the future here opened is full of cheering promise. We neo it in the strongest possible security for our be- loved country, though an indefinite period against the scourge of famine. Our varied soil and climate and ag- riculture double this security, as the disease and failure of any one crop will not, as @ necessary consequence, re duce any class of our population to au exposure to death from hunger. We see also, in addition to feeding our- selves, that our surplus is almost, if not altogether, suf- ficiently, if faithfully and prudently applied, even now to drive famine from the length and breadth of Europe. And that it isin our power, by faithful mental and phys- ical application, soon to make it equal to the expulsion of huuger from the commercial world. We see that, de- pendent upon the commercial markets, our agriculture may bring upon our country ® high degree of prosperi- ity. and enable us, when extraordinary occasions shall cull for its exercise, to practise a national benevolence as grateful to the hearts of the humane as to the wants of the destitute. And we see that by the wider-diffusion aud more secure establishment of a successful agricul. ture among our cittzens, a8 a permanent employment, we are laying broader and deeper the foundations of our free institutions, the pride and glory of our country, and prized by ita freemen as their riches earthly blessing ; the bistory of ail civil government, confirmed by the ex- perience of this tepublio, furnishing demonstrative proo! that @ well educated, industrious and independent yeo- maury, are the safest repository of freedom and free in- stitutions, Col, Jouxson, Chairman of the Executive Committee, then aunounced the names of the successful competitors. and the premiums to which they were respectively en- titled.

The contractsare made with men of experience, able to go on with the work without delay, and complete it by the first day of July next. The whole cost will be short of $223,000,which is $27,000 below the estimate of the engineer. The farmers of Dutchess county, alive to the importance of this work, have made a tree gift of the right of way for nearly the entire dis- tance, through lands of great value, and loaning to the company $150,000 towards the cost of construction. The osst of the right of way was estimated at $25,000; it will not much exceed $5,000, a saving tothe company in these two items of $47,000. The engineer will immedi- ately go on with the surveys, and locate the road from Dover to Chatham, 45 miles, where this road will unite with the Albany and Stockbridge road, 23 miles from the city of Albany; the surveys already made, and the routes marked out, offer very favoratle lines and grades. But the route now proposed by the way of Pine Plains will, it is believed, shorten the line considerably, and itis hoped may be adopted.

To this rapid contraction in the circulation can be directly traced the embarrassments which have since swept away so many commercial houses, and produced so much mercantile distress in all parts of the United Kingdom. In April, when the general movement com- menced in the corn markets, which led to the great in- flation in prices for all kinds of breadstuffs, the circula- tion of the Bank of England was £1,703,225 larger than on the 2ist of August, when the best houses in the king- dom were daily suspending payment. ‘The operation of the new bank act, which has been in existence about three years, has created a great deal of complaint in commercial cireles; and to the restrictions upon commercial credit, which, it is said, that act has caused, are attributed most of the disasters in the com- Meroial world. We are not disposed to attach all the blame to the framers of that law; the restrictions which that act place upon the paper issues of the Bank of Eng- fand, should have deterred all classes from getting up those immense speculative bubbles, which have drawn Notes issued.
