Col. Daniel Shattuck, President of the Socie • 

 ty, presided at the tables, at which nearly two 

 hundred persons were seated. A blessing was 

 asked by Rev. Mr Frost. After the reinoval of 

 the dishes, the following regular toasts were an- 

 nounced by Dr. Bartlett of Concord, toastmaster 

 on the occasion : 



The Day — the Fanner's Holiday. — May we 

 meet with feelings of cordial reconciliation with 

 all parties and sects, and only remember that we 

 are all American citizens, and all embarked in the 

 same ship. 



The Fanner — The earth is his deposite bank, 

 its produce his annual dividend. Though all 

 banks may fail to pay specie, his bank will never 

 fail to pay something that is better. 



The Parson — the Doctor — and the Lawyer — 

 The wind to steer, the physic to clear, and the 

 clippers to shear the soul and body of society. 



The Cultivators of the soil — The best land spec 

 ulalors — dame Nature herself gives bond for a fair 

 return. 



Ultras in Politics, Religion, Tempeiance and 

 Abolitionism — Like blasted grain, you may gath- 

 er it — thrash it — and winnow it — and you will 

 fiiul it all smut. 



The Public Farm — Uncle Sam and bis boys 

 worked very well till they had got their farm paid

for; but when the old gentleman got a little sur- 

 plus cash i'l bis ])Ockets, he fell to making exper- 

 iments, and his boys to specululins;, and the result 

 was, that he soon found be had no cum in his 

 garret, and no money to buy it with. 



The progress of the Arts — Travelling by steam 

 on land and by baKoons in the air, will soon give- 

 way to Electiicity. It is predicted that in five 

 years, all our steamboats and railroad cars will be 

 propelle<l by lightning, — if this prediction prove 

 true, we shall all go like thunder. 



Uncle Sam's Farm — .Already too large and too 

 prone to produce the weeds of Moboorjicy and 

 Nullification — let it not be increased by the addi- 

 tion of that great swamp called Texas, which 

 yields a rank crop of Lynch laiv, robbery and re- 

 bellion. 



Our own Times — The Farmer should rejoice 

 that he has fair crops — the Lawyer, that man is 

 left to the freedom of his own will — the Doctor, 

 that lie is considered a necessary evil — and the 

 Merchant, the Mechanic and the Manufacturer, 

 tiiat he is allowed to hope for another year. 



The President of the Society introduced the 

 following toast, with some appropriate remarks on 

 the subject of our young men emigrating to the 

 western states. He remarked that many object- 

 ed lo it — but considering the character of the N. 

 England yeomanry, be tliougbt it might ultimate- 

 ly be well that the new states, destined ere long 

 to give laws to the old states, should be sprinkled, 

 if not actually peopled, with the hardy sons of 

 New England. They would give to them in some 

 degree, the industry, perseverance and moral char- 

 acter of their early homes and their ancestors. — 

 He would therefore give — 



Old Massachusetts — Her savory influence like 

 a garden of sweet marjorum, is difl^used far and 

 wide. May it temper and season the sauce of ev- 

 ery state in the Union. 



The President read the following letter from 

 his Excellency, Gov. Everett: 



Boston, 27th Sept. 1837. 



Dear Sir: I have your favor of the 25th, invit- 

 ing me, on behalf of the (/ommittee of Arrange- 

 ments of the Middlesex Agricultural Society, to 

 attend the celebration of their anniversary on the 

 4th day of Octo'jer. 1 much regret that a meet- 

 ing of the Executive Council, and my necessary 

 attendance at the Board must deprive me of the 

 pleasure I should enjoy in being present at Con- 

 cord on this interesting occasion. 



I am. Dear Sir, with high respect. 

 Your frienil and servant, 



EDWARD EVEREfT. 



I beg leave to subjoin a sentiment to be pro- 

 posed to the Company, should there be a public 

 dinner : 



Agriculture and Education : While improve- 

 ment in the care of the soil is adiling lo the 

 wealth of the community, may increased zeal for 

 the culture of the mind extiMid the blessings of 

 education throughout the coniilry, and cany the 

 light of useful knowledge into the abode of every 

 citizen. 



'fhe Ladies — The only genuine aristocracy, as 

 they elect without votes, govern without laws, and 

 decide without appeal. 



By Dr. Nelson. Well educated Fanners : A 

 better safe-guard for liberty, than standing armies 

 or severe laws.
