CAPT. THOMAS S. HART'S ADDRESS.
- • Well, my brother farmers, you ore well ac
quainted.,
,I think, with the cause of , our meeting.
We have met here to investigate a:subject that
• ,we all feel more or leas deeply interested in—that
is
,the subject of agriculture, in all its various
branches. It is a subject that we ought to have
-turned our attention to years ago; and we should
now be reaping the benefits of the improvements
we could then have made in it. I am sorry to
say that it is a subject that we have too long. ne
glected; and it is high time that v,e should fully
. -- .lnottse oni attention to it. as we are certainly far
'behind the• times as regards 4oricultiral science
iu this county. If we look, for instance, west
ward, into some of the newly settled regions:, We
,willstest that they are generally in advance of us
in their agricultural pursuits; and the only cause
I can assign forit is, the farmers of those regions,
or at least,the gmater part of. them, have emigre
'.tea'frSna the Eastern Suites whe they hid been
brought up under the int:k re ende of agricultural
'societies, and have become acquainted with all the
true principles of improvement, which have placed
them in advance of us. Dims it not behoove ns,
then, to use our utmost efforts toward improve
'Meat in our agricultural' operations, so:that we
may place ourselves on an equal-footing with the
'farmers or other portions of our happy country"?
The subject that'we.have before us, is one of vast
importance, not only to ourselves, but to the coni
innoity at'larLe. And is it riot the incumbent
duty of. every, good citizen—no matter what his
occap . atinn or.atation in life is—to aid and assist
lisinuch .11S, is in his power; in carrying out the
greafinea.suns, We have in view; that is to, endea

making his farm yield an abundant crop, without
injuring or exhausting its resources, or increasing
his manual labor—the latter of which is the great
desideratum with all farmers here..
Again, ir he- cannot afford to experiment upon
a large .seate, hirry do'.. it.uPon a small one.
Each member, of countr, will,. be expected to give
in the beneficial reshltsbi experiments for-the
good of all. The Society we have formetl is for
the express purpose of endeavoring to introduce
improvement into all. the various branches of ag
riculture in this county, and likewise to eodeavor
to improve our breed of stock. The SoCiety will
be conducted upon the same principlesas those of
a similar nature in other sections of our country.
There will, of course, be annual exhibitions held,
...and :premiums awarded, to:those who have been
•
moat successful in their experiments. There mill
• likewise be ploughing matches for the purpose of
'testing the skill of our young farmers, as well as
cto test the utility of the ploughs they use,' and pre

Val:" V. - ven'lliF'Sdies will be invited to become

I. two' fully satiefied thailfie:Stielety, we, have
:formed will be a public good, if properly conducted
-and the true principles denied out. lam fully
;aware that agriculture is the true sourceof wealth
in every country; for whenever you , see the agri
:cultural interests of a country languish, you will
see every other branch-of business languish with
:it I am sorry to say agricultural productions'are
:upon the decline in this county.
The average yield ie not near so great in pro.
portion as it was some years since, and will still
'Wither declineif some remedy is not applied. The
-fact is that if some improvement is not introduced,
the time is not distant; under the present mode of
of farming; when a great :many of the farms in
thiti cOhnty 'will become so impoverished and ex•
hauited, that they will not pay for the tillage.
And yet, I ant sorry to say, that we have a set of
men amongst us—l wont call them farmers, for
do not think them worthy of the name—who are
'bitterly opposed to any .improvement whatever
. being introduced. In fact, they almost take it as
an insult, if you happen to mention the word im.
provement to'them. They go upon the old Chi
nese pripciple of prohibiting and proscribing ill
improvement; . .they say their plan of farming is
goo d enough—well, gentlemen, it may suit them,
but you don't catch me adopting their system or
principle, for. I consider them too much upon the
skinning order. lam sorry to say that any at
tempt to introduce improvement amongst this
class of men would be as fruitless and futile as to
attempt to stop the tide of emigration to the gold
' regions of California. I am in hopes 'that every
• good citizen throughout the county will CO-operate
'with and assist us in carrying out the measures
we have in view. We,of course, expect the man..
ufacturers to cooperate manfully with us, as the
interests of the plough, the loom, and the anvil
are so closely connected that they ought to go
hand in hand together. My brother farmers, I aus
in hopes you will continue to act zealously in the '
glorious cause we have undertaken. We have set
the ball in motion, and we must keep it rolling—
it won't do to let it stop. You must likewise take
into consideration, that if in your humble efforts,
you succeed in getting two blades of grass to grow
where one grew before. you are a benefactor to
your country, and you are fully carrying out the
precepts of your divine Creator in multiplying. I '
will ask you what can add more beauty to - the
bills and vallies of our picturesque county than to
see them interepersed with well cultivated and
improved farms.. .
My dear hearers, I will ask you to forgive any
errors or diacrepancies in the above remarks, as I
em but a plain farmer like yourselves, and better
calculated to follow the plough than to wield the

'elle Englishman enjoys great health and vigor
of boily.. They are larger than Americans. One
hundred Englishmen taken at random would pro
bably weigh 'One quarter inorethan the same num
ber of Americans selected in the same manner,
and" yet - the skeletnn is said not.to weigh more.—
They have mois constitutional energy and vigor
than welave. Like their horses they have met
tle and bottom: :Pluck is the National character
istic—the clam*, the porter, the nobleman, the
Bishop, and even the women have it; the press
'tins over with it. An Englishman speaks with
his whole body—the elocution is stomacky—an
American's•is labial.
London and - England now are in full growth.—
Birkenhead,- opposite Liverpool, grows as fascas
South Boston, or Brooklyn opposite New York. ! .—
London is enlarging at an alarmiag rate r even to
the 'swallowing up of Middlesex. The British
Museum is not yet arranged; Lon . dini University
is growing as rapidly as one of our mushroom
Western Colleges. Everything in •Englend
kens life. To be sure - jhe Englisman does not
build castlei and abbeys, but what the nineteeth.
century demand- he builds, docks, wharves, ware
houses, &c.,Without nuniber. The land and cll.
mate are favorable :to the production of good men.
Mr. Emerson .said that in his addresses while ;in
England he had-beery accostomed to erase thcise
Passages which he had written and, spoken so of
ten here touching the feebleness and sickly•O - spect
of poor mortals, such an effect had thefine played,-
queof the Englishman produced- upon him. In
all that the Englishman does, even to the noise of
clearing his throat, he gives evidence of strenglh.
It is not the land for faint hearts.
One thing is very noticeable among the people,
and that is their total 'neglect of each other. Each
man shaves, dresses,' eatsivralics, and runs just as
he pleases,.atia his neighbor pays no attention to
biro, oo long as be is not interfered with; and (Ins
is not because Englishmen are trained' to neglect,
but beeause each man is trained to mind his own
business. Personal eccentricities are allowed here
and no one observes them. Each Islantler'is'ah
Island 'himself, _reposing in quiet and tranquil
kle.riever wanders, sod if at a hotel, be is
ask& for his name, he bends down and whispers
it into the'ear of the book-keeper.
To Turn ♦-Lan:'s Aos--Rocs.—Let her telt
in which c . olOnns her . age is found. Add together
the'faret calun3ns, and the sem will be her age.
Suppose for example, she says that she finds her
age, in the lat, 2d, and sth editions. Then the
addition of 1,2, and 16. (the first numbers of said
columns,) gives 19,f0r her age.

Soon altei tfiei Legislature of Pennsylvania passed
a law mains tea hours: day's labor, most of the
proprietors of cotton factories in Allegheny city, en
gaged inz ~b old, palpable and aggravated" con
spiracy, to evade, and thereby violate, its truo spir
it and intent. Their proceedings throughout were
illegnl and indictable—of this there can be no man•
ner of doubt. Had the Proprietors of the Penn fac
tory not 'violated the spirit of the law—had they
not dashed scalding water upon the poor girls out
side—there would have been no difficulty for law
,yers, judges and juries to settle. Then, who were
the wrong-doers t
Again : a conspiracy--qt 4, bald, palpable and ag
gravated r. conspiracy, was formed by Moorhead,
Kennedy, Painter, and company, to prostrate the
proprietors of the Star factory, because the latter
declined entering into the wicked crusade against
the operatives. Tho despotism of the Autocrat of
Russia is mild and commendable when compared
with the tyranical course of the conspirators towards
Messrs. Myers, Hunter Et yeoghtly. Who Were the
wrong-doers here ?
Lastly: a "bold, palpable and aggravated. con
spiracy was , mitered into by the proprietors of the
cotton factories and their friends, to break down
this establishment, because we took the side of the
weak, the poor and helpleso--because we opposed
The reduction of the wages of the laboring men.
And to create, if possible, a prejudice against us,
there tyrants, through their obediant organ, have
proclaimed diily the monstrous fAlsehood, that we
in favor of mob law and riots! Now, wo ask, who
are the wroog•docra in all thia 1 .
TUE CRUMADE.
For some days, we base bad laying upon our desk
a communication from a valued correspondent--a
real operative—which we failed to give, nn account
of the press of matter which 'lemma to demand our
atterition. When our course is sanctioned by such
men, as we know the writer of this to be, we feel
conscious 01 being right. We give a few extracts,
which is all we can find room for to-day :
rca. 11A112111
• • As editor of a Democratic paper, then, you
could not with honesty or consistency have pursued
any other course, relative to the Factory operatives,
than that which you did. For, it is impossible to
serve God and Mammon. And be assured, that nine
hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand of the
Democratic party of the county and State, will sus
tainlav3 approversumrra-Ctiallte:--YroO yvrti
collect thatthey are not all of Israel that are called
Israel—neither, are they , all Democrats that some
call.Democrata, and that claim to belong to the par
ty: The love , of office, or the :ctpectstion_ of fat
contracts, makes some nieti cling to the party, on
the same principle that the vampire clings to the hu
man system. Aod a man who would cease to sub
scribe for a paper, because it would not join in it cru
sade of persecution against a kw boys and girls,
who by constant iodustry, maintained not only them
selves, but orphan brothers and sisters, is unworthy
the name of American citizen, much less that or
Democrat.
This Cotton Factory Riot was indeed a God send
to the Whig editors, as it afforded them some pre.
teoce on coloring for changing front after the elec
tion; and doing the dirty work of their masters. But
they bave Far overshot the mark, when they charge
any other than a few of the operatives themselves
with being concerned in this riot, and I dare them
to the proof, to show whore one word has been el
'Sher said or Written abetting or recommending this
:riot. Therefore, these charges that bad been made,
over and over again, are false, designedly and en
tirely false. There is some difference between Stri
ving to mitiiate an offence, and approving of the
offence itself.
Our better feelings will always lead us to side with
the weak and oppressed, although they may be smite
times wrong, and transgressing the law. In some
States, one man can be held by another as property,
according to law; yet, if I found a slave running
away from his master, and on his way to a free State
I would be the last to inform on him ; nor do I know
but the heart might so operate on the hand an to
make it almost involuntarily search for a quarter, to
help him on hie way; and yet thla would be 1111 ton
/rare to law.
A Voice-from Westmorelarid.
That sterling Democratic journal, the Greens

tion to the (gold,' palpable and aggravated , con.
spiracy, which has been entered into by some of the
proprietors of the cotton factories and their friends,
to break down a-Democratic press, because of its
advocacy of the rights of. the working class. The
conspirators will fled that they "tne raised such a
storm' about their headt, in their attempts to crush
the laboring community, as will be any thing but
amiable:

put out' by L. Hanna, Esq., of the Pittsburgh
Morning Post. The address MOOS fully, honestly;
and very clearly the cause that led to this difficulty
between the Editor•of the Post, and a few capital- -
ists and manufacturers,—pod hence it is useless for
ye to go into a narration or facts:
The great body of the people oftbis State are the
warm friends of the ten hour system, and ever will
be, no matter how tumch Iron men and Cotton'man
ufactureare, rantand fret. It is the .policy of Penn
syhania, and as such labor, has a warm and power
ful friend.
Some four orGve of these humane lordlings have
withdriwn their support tromihe-Post, and a ctually
; threaten the overthrowof the , entire . establiihment!
'bibeey, when forced to combat with correct public
opinion, always looses in tht contest. So' will it be
in the - c.ase'be.fore ui. All men who grind the poor
have no sympathy for an independent press, and
would much rather.seo it converted Into an instru
ment of
.toriure, than see it remain the bold defend
er of tho poor and oppressed. -

conspirators, in condacting.a controversy, may b e
seen in their organ, the Journal, of yesterday. We

opposed to violence. Then comes a paiagraph in
exposition of the relations that exist between em
ployer and employed ; and'next the Editor adds
it lintreetricting the, hours:of labor to ten, by legal
enactment, will nerer ' ro this,';&c. SO the Editor
of the Gazette is opposed to the Ten Hour Law! -
We con the concluding paragraph of the Gazette's
article - z.
"We'earittot claim this article wittioai' rebuking
in tho most decided terms, the' continued efforts of
the Post, to array the.working• men againit their
employers—to foment- a spirit of discontent, of
cn
vy, of jealousy; and of hatred, towards the.proprie- '
tors of manufoctoriei. (1.), Such men used to be
the" bennfactoas of-the people. 'By risking their
capital in manufacturing operations, they created a
demand for labor; and increased its value.r.‘•
They gun-employment to the idle, opened aaalkiket':
for the mechanic, and the turner, and built up citietig

content, -*which may Produce in long yeara'to

(L)—We contend that we have merely , defended
the working men and girls in their efforts to resist
the conspiracy against them . by their employers.—
The LegislatUre declarer ten bourse dare
The proprietors said OW seciet conclave,) we will

These secret meetings Were illegal: The cornhina
tion of the proprietors was an indictable conspiracy.
They violated law first.. They proioked the" envy,
jealousy and hatred: , .We deny that we have desir

our whole aim has been to aid in cementing togeth

we have been denouncing, growing up in the paths

We aro not the enemies of the manufacture». If

regularly increased one mile each day, so that on
the day before the fight, he was to walk 23 miles.
He also practised daily by striking at a suspended
bag or sand, weighing 160 lbs., which ha caused to
(brow a. Somerset by one - blow from his powerful

to harden the flesh ou Iris hands, so that they are
