pressed, although we hav^ little hope that the 

 Legislature will abate the foils on the articles 

 named. If every town west ^f Utica had an ef- 

 ficient Farmer's Club to peti'ion the luw-makine 

 power, the object could be attained at once.— 

 But so long as the tillers of ifie soil will not act 

 together, nor associate to advince their common 

 interests, they can expect nojiing truly benefi- 

 cial and important from the iojaled effirts of a 

 i'ew public spirited farmers. Vhe whob frame- 

 work of civilized society with 41 its ad-antao-es 

 is but a system of organizationi-oi' unted eiTort '

 strange that American agricultuists siould be s»

At a meetinT of (lie Farm-ir's Club of Vates County, held 

 in the village of i'enn-Yan on the 2d day of Jan. 1840, the- 

 following r^soi 11 lions after being discussed, were unani- 

 mously adopted. 



Resolved, That wo believe the Farmers of Western Nevv 

 York, as well as the State at larpe, would be greatly bene- 

 fited, if the liiu! Uoivl Companies between Albany and 

 Buffilo, Wire an'.horized or compelled to transport, free 

 from toll, live Stock and freeh provisions, including the 

 products of tlif (lairy, during both summer and winter ; and 

 that we alf-o believe, that said companies should be com- 

 pelled to tr;ius;iort the same at reasonable rates. 



Therefor-'. Resolved, That oar .Senator and member of 

 Assembly b*- retjueated to call the attention of the Lcgisla- 

 .ture, to thii important subject at the present session. 

 '■ Resolved, 'i'hat the names of the Officers of the Club, be 

 appended to these resolutions, and they be sent to our Rep- 

 resentatives.. ■ A. lilGELOW, (S'ec'y
