To one other subject I wish to callyour attention. You know our agricul-tural lands and mineral deposits arespread over a large extent of country,and as yet only the surface of cither hasbeen touched, and our resources aro butlittle known outside of the State, It istrue that men have talked and written.and newspapers have'"published manyfacts in relation to our sources of wealth.The excellence of our climate,' the fer-tility of the soil, the' bountiful yield andgood quality bf products which havebeen tried, the ' rich &pd ''abundantgrasses; tho unlimited- - extent bf -- waterfor inotiye-'powc- r, thc'aVun'da'ncb of tim-ber, etc.; havc all beW pretty well described and nfade knewn ;' but this hasoeen conuoea too xqucti witntn our ownlimits. ' We need a larger population.but as yet no fruitful effort i'has beenmade by any ' combined portion cf citi-zens to encourage immigration. An in-

telligent and enterprising citizen has suggested the propriety of the AgriculturalSociety taking some course that will result in the collection, publication and dis-tribution of such statistical informationas will give those seeking or desiringhomes on this western coast, an accurateand well-defin-

ed idea of tho vast resources of wealth in- - our young State.with this, however, you will take 'suchaction as your judgment and wisdom maydictate. " ' ; " ' ' : ' '

Ready fob, tue Deluge. That sterling Democratic Journal the Cincinnatihnquuer, after showing that the late actsof tbe President, which induce a renew-ed call for his impeachment, are clearlywin-i-n mc ime oi nis power, even unaeriae iaie acta oi congress, auus;

Now, be it remembered, we are cot re--sistiog the fact of impeachment. If theRepublican party wants to impeach 31 r.Johnson, we want to be a spectator of theperformance; and our curiosity to witnessit exactly balances our objections to theact itself. We do not care to enter intocalculations of consequences, nor are weable to form an opinion whether the re-

sult of an attempt to unseat the Presidentby impeachment would be ultimately fa-vor- ble

to the country, or otherwise. Weare very sure that Mr. Johnson, by hisrecent exhibition, of excutive vigor, whilehe may have increased slightly the chanceof au impeachment, has stregthened him-self against the unfavorable result of sucha proceeding. The Radicals, if they arcmore angry, are also more afraid. Theclamor they raise is less tbe offspring ofcourage than it is of desperation.

It the rresident allows this Congress,or any Congress constructed as this is, toimpeach and remove htm, he will giyethe stroge.tt assurance that he is able togive that he deserved to ha impeachedand removed. A constitutional President wh3 allows himself to bo :put out ofoffice blr an unconstitutional Congress,wni ncx escape tne alternative veruict oicranKina mat ne is cuncj. a cowaru or anfmbecile. The sympathy which men feelor the unfortunate will, in" his case, be

drowned in contempt for ioefEciency. ,

Who is a Gentleman? A gentlemanis not' a person acquainted withcertain' lorms and etiquettes of life, easyand spifpos?essod in society, able to speakand act, and move in tho world withoutawkwardness, and free from habits whichare vulgar and in bad taste. A gentlemanis something beyond all this; that whichlies ajt the root of all his ease, and refinement) and tact, is the power of pleas-ing 4how can he show respect for others

how may he avoid hurting their feelings. When he is in society he scrupulously ascertains the position and relationswith j&vcry ono with whom ho comes incontact, that he may give to each his due,his proper position. He studies how hemay avoid touching in conversation uponany subject which may needlessly hurttheir teelings, how he may abstain fromany allusion which calls up a disagreeableor offensive association. A gentleman never alludes to, never appears conscious " ofany personal defect, bodily deformity, in-

feriority of talent, rank, or reputation, intne persons in wnoso society ne is piacea.

Moseley, aged six years, fell into the wa-

ter of McCloud Lake, and but for the ef-forts bf: a boy, aged nino years, namedWendroth, would havo drowned. Hedived into the water after the boy, andnot catching him . the first time, divedagain and succeeded in bringing tho boyto the surface. Wendroth's strength notbeing sufficient to tow the boy ashore, hosucceeded in pushing, him within thegrasp of a fisherman, who pulled the al-

most lifeless child from the water. Suchbravery in a lad of his age, if followed upwith the right spirit and moral principle,will mako Wendroths's name an honoredone in the fuxxTe, Stockton Independent.

A prominont and worthy member ofnun 0Uiuiy ua cauou my attention totho importance of Oregon havipfcaclerk- -

ship in the Agricultural Department' 'atWashington, and suggesU the 1 proprietyof re.co'mmendit!g,at the present' annualmeeting, some sui table' pcrsbn Trr the position. I heartily approve of the suggestion, and hopo favorablo action maybe had upon it before our final adjourn-ment. '''

I would also recommend that this Society call the attention of the seveother State Agricultural Societies o thesubject! and recommend them to'takesimilar action. Tho department shouldbe controlled by men who aie identifiedin sympathy aud interest with the objectof its operations. There can be no doubtthat the appointing and confirming powers would pay due respect to any recommendations maqe by Agnpultural bocie-tie- s.

The importance of such a result to theindustrial classes of the nation, is of vastimportance, aud will be a beginning inthe right direction. It will, do doubt,hare a tendency and influence to encourage the laborer to greater efforts to ac-

quire a thorough knowledge, and to makehimself better acquainted with the insti-tutions of our country, and their practical bearings upon him and his labor.

The labor' a,nd products of labor cfevery country are its main wealth. Moneymay be plentiful in the hands of ailclasses, but if there be no labor, or ifthere be a great want of labor in a coun-try, that country does not, and will notprosper, kt it be ever so rich and fertilein the elements necessary to wealth.Where there is a great want of labor,there will be as a matter of course, a pro-portionate scarcity of productions, and,a a result, money will be nesree. But,supply the country, with plenty of intelligent, enterprising labor, and the capitalnecessary for operating it will soon befound, as well as everything else thatmakes life agreeable and pleasant.

The labor and money capital of anycountry is both valuable and necessary toit development and prosperity. Thereshould he no clashing tetween them nodistinction made because one has andoperates capital, and tbe other performslabor. Money, without tabor and its products, would not be of any value. Labor,and its products, when separated fromcapital, have the advantage : for, one ofold. we aro told, when he was hungry.sold his birth-righ- t for a mess of pottage.Whenever there has been a conflict, how-

ever, between capital and labor, theformer has always come out victorious ;because, as a general rule, capital has

in its management, and beingin fewer hands, can form conbinationsmore readily ; while labor, in attempts toform combinations, has been unsuccessful,being toq limited in Its efforts, as well aswanting, ingondral, jq studied and prac-tical intelligence. .'.''' Wo all know that money is power.So is intelligence,. Money "with intel-ligence is too often arrogant, oppressive,self-Importa- assuming and dictatorial;wane lagor, wiinuut imcuigcnsc, i uppretending and more submissive. Ifcncothe absolute necessity of more generalintelligence among the laboring classes,in order that their interests may be pro-tected, and less distinctions made in so-

ciety between wealth and labor. Thefrivolous distinctions in society of thepresent day, aro but the result of a wantof general intelligence. The farmer inhis homespun suit, and with his sunburnthands, and the lawyer and doctor, iu finerapparel, are all laborers, and differ onlyin the mode of labor by which a liveli-hood is gained. Tho mechanic with hiswell-wor- n and soiled apron, is no lessworthy of our esteem and confidence thanthe wealthy merchant. The wives anddaughters who

.conduct our household

i : ianatrs are certainty not icss deserving oxour love and praise than those who pre-side at the piano. 31 any wise and goodmen who are wealthy, look upon and esti-mate labor and the laboring classes in the

roper light; but there are those whoook upon the farmer and the mechanic

as laborers, and all labor as unbecoming.Such show their want of intelligence, anddeserve our pity more than our contempt.

Oregon State Agricultural Society, 18G7.

Ladies and Gentleman :Custom makes it the dutv of tho person

occupying tho official position which youhave placod me in the second timo, to de-

liver the Address at the opening of thoAnnual Fair, and also to select some onoto make the Annual Address. In tho dis-charge of this last duty, I have selected ayoung man, by occupation a farmer, believing that on occasions like the present,practical men alone should perform suchduties, and that every inducement and

should bo given to those whoare engaged in the industrial pursuits toqualify themselves for public speaking, aswell as training the mind and hand to per-form tho requirements of their choencalling. This being an ago of untold pro-gress and change in tho conduct of thing,here is no yalid reason why we should e

under tho necessity, on an occasion of thikind, and simitar ones, of going to theprofusions for persons to do our publicapcaking. In fact, the times seem to de-

mand that we keep pace with the extraordinary revolution in the order of tilings ofour time

The exhibitions of labor, art and skillare fixed institutions in our own country.and are growing in interest &nd import-ance will, every portion of the civilizedworld, not O'jly with the laborers them-selve- s,

but with those occupying higherntntion in society and government ; infipt. from tho Emperor of absolute domin-ion down to the lowest subject and citi-zen.Tho great Expoittoti, tho World's Fair,

which has been going on at Paris duringthe present season, is well calculated toexcite your wonder and admiration, andwe hive eery reason to believe thatgreat beneficial remits will bo accomplish-ed by it to the civilisation of tho age.Thcro we find tbe heads of governmentsin attendance, competing with subject andcitizen f r premiums on their products oflabor, ingenuity, utility and skill, and nodoubt, with as much solicitudo for sue-cc- s

as can xit in the mind. Not onlyta thi so with those competing for prem-ium, but the .ilicitude U shared by thepeople of every country having exhibit-or: there. With what gratification havewe rreived the intelligence of the sue-cm- s

of our own citizens in being award-ed premiums for come of the mnnl ucfnland aeree.nblc implement of civilizedlife It Is natural for to regard ourowo and that of our countrymen, as thebct; and this sentiment will have its in-

fluence with exhibitors at this Fair, as italways has had. But we should bear inmind that our interests end prejudicesfrequently abase our judgements; andwhen we find as many will find -- thatthoM! selected to decide upon articles, dosi ngainst our judgments. let us notcharge it to an intended wrong, but to adifference of opinion.

The great idea had in view in holdingFairs, is to bring man in contact withman in a useful and peaceful sense, andcompare product with product, implements and skill with their like, ideas withideas, and mind with mind, so that thedesired object of life, and the end aimedat, may be accomplished with the leastcxpenc. and in the shortest time possible : and also to enlist the sentiments andfeelings of each in the welfare of all.

It is true that premiums are a secondary consideration, and a very laudable one,which should bo properly valued by all.They are as good if not tho best, recommendation to the public that can be givenof tho importance and value of the com-modity. Too many of our pooplc placetoo light a value upon such things, anddo pot consider that their duty and inter-est requiro of them to inform the publicin this manner of the best method of do-

ing this or that ; or that they have, make,or grow, the best of any kind of articlethe community may requiro.

The influence which agricultural androechanicsl Fairs have had upon the so-

cial condition and standing of the labor-ing classes, and upon tho general prosper-ity of our country, cannot be to highlyappreciated. All well informed mindswill readily admit that, since Fairs havebecomo fixed institutions in the variouspections of our country, a fYesh impetushas been awakenod in every branch ofindustry and public improvement. Es-pecially is this so in agricultural and me-chanical pursuits. Vast improvementshave been made in applying the labornecessary to ho done on the farm and inthe shop. What was onco tho harderpart of farm labar, is now done with ease,if. not with pleasure. The syclo and thescythe, requiring tho muscle and sweat ofman in cutting the acre of grain or grass,has been superceded, in a great measure.by the reaper and mower, doing in thesame length of time, and in a better man-ner, ten and twenty times as much. Thojack-plan- e has given way to tho planer;where tho former did its feet, tho latternow does its hundreds. So with thatgreat civilizcr of the world, the printingpress, r ranklin, with his old hand press,gave to his readers but one or two hundred sheets per hour ; while tho powerpress of the present day will send fortheasily twenty thousand sheets per hour.And so it is with almost every kind of(arming and mechanical labor.

The industry and proper developmentof the agricultural operations and resour-ces of the country are being better understood and inoro correctly and justlyappreciated. Within the past few years.our National Government has, began toconsider the agricultural interests of the.country in its proper light, andhasestabllshed an independent bureau for its pro--

motion. Avitn a practical man at tnehead of this department, devoted to. , andunderstanding this paramount interest,we have a right to expect as a result,much good to the whole country. Theagricultural interests being immense, andthe soil and clirrate so diversified, it is of
