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
