Ohtfrvaliont im the Apathy tehieh ptrradrs the com
munity nf thf Souihrrn Slatr$, relating to thr im.
pTovfjiienl of Agriculliirr. Hy a Ki'htic,
Columbia, Janum-y 10, IH31.
Dear Sir,—Altlioiigh this is iiddrosst-d
to you, it is not inteiuled lor yovr ;
J'or it is very evident, that you are sufticicnt-
ly alive to tlie necessity of eflorts l)ciiij;
made in these southern statcc:, fur the ini-
prr)vemeiit of their agriculture, to render
such u pa|M'r of unj ust- to t/ov. Its ohjort
tM'ing tho l>enefit of South-Curolin.t and
nei^hl)oring states, I Ijcjr you will iniK rt it
in your extensively circulated perHxhciil,
fur the public good, which it may prcHliice,
if attended to, and I do not mistake the i;or-
r»^etnes8of the views it hi Ids fiirth.
Notwithiitanding the vnluahic cominuni-
Cations which a few imlividunlH occasiuiiully
Fend you for |tublicati(>n, it must b*conl’e'«-
ed that we are uiiiverwilly deficient in dw
and efficient exertions fur the amelioratnig
of Hir eonditiou, by extcrMling knowledge,
and alFixing scientific basis to our agricul
tural |Kirsuilg. It would seem hy our apa
thy, ui this rep|iect, that agriculture wa.>. lo
us scarcely even a secondary ciinsider,ition,
a pursuit, the ol»jcct8 of which, ignorant
men may he allowed to prosecute, as tln*se
are Imnnless and cannot aflfH t society ma
terially either in good or evil! Indeud, boum;
who consider themselveji the lietter cla.s8 of
society, appear to act as though the tilhng
of the soil was an abject nml nierely me-
rhanical calling, nearly uaeless ami only al
lowed to exist by sufferance. It might be
thought an hividioiia retAltation in me. who
lielohg to this tilling cla*i of n»en, to point
out the conw-quential airsof the cits, w lieth-
er lielonging to the cHmter or the various
ftnrjf. U'e might acknowlelge their un-
d'Mihted Mip«;riority over us, hy the greater,
or indeed, the almost exclusive couuleiuuice
they reeive from legislative enactments.
Do we not s‘e, in fact, that ninety-nine
hundreds of the laws |iassed, are for their
b*-n"tit, and that po«ir agriculture is h'li to
shift for itself, and never receives the jini-
tectingandencouriiging helpofgovVriitnent,
no as to enable it to nn et the other proles-
8IOIIH on nn e(|ual lisiting. I must have been
nuich mistaken when I selected it is >i piir-
wjit enlculaled to pnxluce l>enefits to the
ciKintrv. It IS at all times, a hnrd task fur
a man lonciiiiowledge his errors, and almost
persuaded as i am of mine, in this eaxe, I
can senrcely bring mvself to confess it.—
Still I allow that e\ery circumstaiK C dem-
on>trat > clearly that iny choice was fiMind-
eil in error, since the coilecied wislom ol
the c«Hintr\ declare i( so hy tlioir al>solute
neglet of the one, and its extreme watch
fulness over the welfare of the others. In
fa t. are then' n»l oxtrnsnc and richly en
dowed institutions, with well jiaid jiroli'Nsors,
for tiie proiiH’tiiHi of all uv*tul knuvvletlce,
in divinity, law, coniiiierce, and nicdi iiie !
S^ur»-lv, if u;;ricu!lure was of any \alue ini
this c«>unlr\, us it is in some others, estab
lishments fur its promotion uould have been
formed, or at le:i.'t, some proli-ssorship at-1
tached lo some of the other institutions, in- j
t' iKled to exalt this negle. led object. W hat:

is not one, that I know of, supported b\
