'Gorham, made the following nracticai remarss, wnicn were uap- nLly received : llUrange openea in due lorra. JSat ujfday, May 1st, 1875. The Maste called attention to the proceedings of the Korth Carolina State Grange, Patrons of Husbandry; and while it shows that the great truths taught, by the Patrons of Husbandry are ap preciated by many' ot the Order, yet they also revealed the fact - that we lack co-operationk and education. In our' own county tanners, as a class, seem to be ignorant of the great ben efitot cooperation. We should feel no delicacy in declaring, as a fact, th at we lack information. Lotus re-, alize this truth, and endeavor to im prove. We are not wanting in num bers or means ; and the reason why are "the pack-horse tor all par ties and the scape-goat for specula tors," is our own fault. tIt is un manly tor us to be whining and find ing fault with others, while we have the means and native ability: among ourselves - to place our profession where it. properly belongs in the front rank. Let us then carry out the principles of our order, which, encourage education ; and those who follow us 9b the stage ot life will be prepared for their duty to whatever position, they may be assigned. It is with sorrow that we have to ad mit that farmers can furnish but few men whose minds are fitted to organize great enterprises. Look at oar legislative assemblies. . We find in them, many farmers, - an.d when they come in contact with men of close reasoning, they generally prove wanting, j Now if we wish to be placed into positions of trust and honor, and where we can benefit our brother farmers, we must prepare ourselves by education, and learn the fact that we must furnish some brains. interest in the politics of his coun try. On the contrary, it is right for every member to do ail in his power, legitimately, to influence for good the action of any political party to which he may belong: . We have he'ard it remarked that in our approaching election, in selec ting a candidate for Convention, we would have to take into considera tiorLthe fact that farmers, as a class, a r e p r e j u d i c ed ag a i n s 1 1 a wy e r s . W e believe that the world pays homage to intelligence, and puts men who possess it in places of honor and trust.' Let us then not war upon any profession; but see that none but competent, faithful and honest meD, who will stand by our industrial pur-t suits, are nominated. If we find such a man in .the legal profession, and he should be nominated, let 11 s cheerfully support hitpi and show, to tbo world we can rise above preju dice, being impressed with the truth that 1 i-God ia the nature of each being founds Its proper bliss, and Bets It proper bounds, But as he framed the whole, the whole to bless On mutual wants built mutual happiness, So from the first eternal order ran, . And creature linked to creatute, man to man.". After the conclasion&f Mr. Gor jiam's speech - the; following gentle men rendered the annexed KEPOIITS for 1874': ' . Mr. 11. T.
