THE FAKMER. Extract from an address hij Nicholas Uiddlc Esq deliv cred before the Philadelphia

Society for the promotion of

Agriculture in January last. u The American farmer is the exclusive, absolute, uncontrolled

proprietor of the soil. Ilij tenure is not from the government ; the government derives its power

from him nothing but God and

the laws; no hereditary authority

usurping the dcstinctions of personal genius ; no established

church spreading its dark shadow

between him and heaven. Ilis frugal government neither desires nor dares to oppress the soil ; and

the altars of religion are support cd only by the voluntary offering

of sincere piety Ilis pursuits, which no perversion can render injurous to any. arc directed to the common benefit of all In

multiplying the bounties of Providence, in the improvement and

embtdlishment of the soil ; in the care of the inferior animals committed to hU charge he will find an ever varying and interest!: e employment, dignified by the union of liberal studies, and enliven ed by the exercise of a simple and generous hospitality Ilis charaeer asumes a loftier interest by 'Us influence over the public liberty It may not be foretold to
