ORATION
piLIVIRtbON THE NINETEENTH INSTANT,
AT THE MEETING Of TUB MANUFAC1U
AKRS AND MECHANICS OF PU1LAUELPH 1 A.
(CONCEV UEO.)
BY Dr. ADAM SEYBERT.
Fellow-Citizens, . ..
Ova Country offers treasured
for our investigation, which alre at. once mime*
rous, brilliant uiul valuable. .. Laurels await us in
all directions, whether we tumour attention to
the forests or to the mountains—wc are in'pos
sessionof some elegant coloring matters, which
only need the aid of the chemist to make them
permanent and- highly useful —If a Mordant
.should be discovered, which will preserve, and
fix permanently, the eligtfnt crimson inherent in
the juice of X.\re poke berry, we shall then possess
a native dye which will not rank as a mean rival
of the Tyrian purple.
We have abundance of some of the most impor
tant productions of nature, which contribute to
the ease and comforts of civilized life, and which
are essentially necessary to mnny of the arts.—
Large sums of money arc annually remitted from
every sea port in tile United States for various
ochres, which are used as paints l’or allum, and
for copperas. In this respect we do unto ourselves
much injustice, and we are deficient in gratitude
to that providence who has so plentifully supplied
us with these articles, often ready prepared and
fitted to our purpose : and there is diffused in
many situations, a plentiful supply of the same
materials irom which they are prepared in Eu
rope.
There is scarcely a state in the Union which
cannot boast of extensive strata of elegant oche
rous clays, most of them abound inconsiderable
.quantities of aluminous slate, which only re
quires proper management to afford allum for the
purpose of the arts and commerce. Copperas,
so useful in dying, and many other arts, lies large
ly concealed in a very common mineral of this
Country. We might not only manufacture this
article for home consumption, but in a littlt* time
we could rank it with our articles df export.
Our copper ami our zinc are gifts which ought
to be highly praised Consider the extensive up
plication of those metals in their separate states,
and attentively view their general diffusion in the
form of the alloy called brass; then, ask your
selves whether we should not search for the trea
sures concealed in the earth. Lead has been dis
covered in many situations in the United States.
Tin is by no means common in Europe—I bate
seen a specimen ore of this valuable metal, which
i upon resp. ctabic authority, I stale was found in
j there. Some time since, a considerable quantity
ot antimony was exhibited to me (or bluet; lead, it
was said to have been brought from North Caro
lina. It this discovery could .be traced, and the
precise locality ascertained', it would add another
treasure to our catalogue of native product iota. To
designate the situation in our country v here
y, iron, the most useful ot the metals abounds, would
l>e to enumerate every state, and most of the comi
ties of the union.
We have all the articles required for making
forulainv of tho first quality soul beauty—a litth
exertion will enable us to equal the acknowh-d
ged excellence of that which is exclusivelv fur
nished by the Work-Shops of Far is and Dres
den
Wc have some marb.’t which rivals that of
which heretofore Italy alone could boast.
All the materials requisite for ihe making of
glass abound in onr country : and our window*
gltss su/pacses that which has been hillterto «wt
ported—our useful productions aienol sudicient
ly known to be enumerated—the great Linneus
was well satisfied ns to the riches of America, in
her natural productions, lie has often bet ii heard
to express a wish, that he could have explored the
Continent of North Americxt.
.Our Ft,per Manufactories have increased in
number beyond all calculation : and our paper e
quad* that of any other country. Aq extensive
type founds!?} * has, as it were, been created by
two individuals, the 'type of which, for elegance
anti accuracy, are second to none ; in conse
quence, our'prf ting lias attained a neatness and
perfection which does honor to the artists who
conducted tiur ttuircroTispresses. In this respect
we are fortunate and happy—education is diffusing
itself in a rapid manne r, throughout the nation ;
reading is familiar to our poorest citizens ; and
thus arc the politics oftfur-country not confined to
any rank or persuasion. Eight daily and three
weekly news papers are published In l'liiladt l
phia. No £ uropeau city, of equal size and popu
lation, circulates a like number—every other city
in tlie uniO*i, and almost every iiiland soon, can c
numerate more or less of them, Our book 'stoics
furnish our libraries with American editions,
which for accuracy'of composition and elegance
cl Workmanship, equal those of Lonaon and Ftjriq.
Our book binders are second to none, and many of
them, in the exercise of their art exhibit a taste,
peculiar to themselves.
A manufactory al printedpoor cloths, is now e$
tablishcd in our city, which furnishes us with
that article whose strength of fabric, elegance yf
design, novelty ot pattern and beauty of finish,
are ckmonstr&tive proofs ef theihiprovtd and re
fined taste of the undertaker.
We have commenced the manufacture of void
lace, httir cloth and cat gut. Our furriers arc mi
im rous, and exit;bit table to gratify the eye of
fashion.
Our breviers supply us with excellent, palatable
and wholesome malt liquors— Our catalogue of
imports is no longer swelled with -if outline i . tion
oft< « sc articles. Iti this city alone, upwards ot
110,000 bushels vf malt, are annually consumed in
tins way.
Nature w ith tmVnntdcd kinduers, has favored
our country with many powerful s/mims, which
nre adapted tor every species of manufacture :_
Upmi some of them cotton milt's nre Iready, and
others will soon he erect# il ih Maryland, r>eta
%)(tre, Pennsylvania, Ne.e fetsev, N'o York, Con
necticut, Uhstde Island, and Massachusetts. In
Jihode Island a,one, 1 am informed sixty thou sand
spmdtis nre daily pul in motion. 1 anticipate the
time* when cotton yarn will he exported from Atne
rita to Europe, instead of cotto wool. The pro
gross we lihvc- m.<de in the cultivation of cotton is
unexampled : it is hut a few years since n be
came known in England; and ’till very lalHy it
was held n secret of importance bv some, whose
number wrj very limited, and w ho alone made
use of it in thei. nunnifactories : now it is sought
after^ with avidity, and command* the highest
trice in the Europe*! markets—our eastern stales
Supply us with some (Otton fabrics of the hi st
quality, and much cheaper than they can be pro
cured from England or any other p trt of Europe.
Wollen mnnufn-.tories have been,commenced
From tbt tdterrmine^ efforts of many of our citi
zens, we have reason to expectcmsidcndile im
provements and great extension in Ibis branch—
many of our wealthy and independent farmers,
now attend to improve the breed of sheep—the
Sp.tnish breed is diffused Throughout ottrcouni.y,
by the exertions of him "who first undertook the
experiment of tliei/* importation. They nredai "
ly becoming more mimcfous on our farms, and
it is tort unite, that with proper care, no* with.
Standing all l!ie variations to which they are sub
ject* d ill the different latitudes of this extensive
territory, they do not debrttidte and become lets
valuable We have received/nr cloths from some
ot our niiHPt manufactories, wffrdiemml those of
European establishments, and we are told that
they <i»u be made so as to be sold on more rca
sonaUu terms, and yCt xffiird « handsome b,o
fit.
Our ehrmUtt have proceeded in rcfinittg salt.- •
pttre, all urn ami camphor. We have reason ijfc J
believe, that our laboratories will render the im
portation of red and white lead hereafter unnec< »••
tart. TU'-y furnish us with oil of vitriol and the
other acid*, which are essentially ngccssury to
many of the arts. Attempts have succeeded in
making verdigrease. Culinary Sait is obtained
Ironwalt springs remote from our sea-coasts.—*
We have commenced the making of inaritinie
salt <>n the sea-hoard. It becomes me to remind
you, that recent circayutantes urge the propriety
and necessity of extensively e/tcr easing these es
tablishments. Steel is manufactured in large
quantities, and of an excellent quality. There is
no country in which more iron is smelted and
wrought than in our own—our foiinderies arc nu
merous, [f individually they cannot bo said to ri
val those extensive works on the Corran, in other
respects tlieyrfo more, for they equal them in the
neatness and accuracy of their productions. Our
sharp edged tools are equal to any which the
world ati'ord : and a well formed axe, I am m
| formed, can only be m de by the hand of an A
j merican artist—-Our soap manufactories, our tan
neries—the maiets of glue andparehment, are all
.in a flourishing condition—Our potteries supply
us \vitli wares of various descriptions, which are
> neat and well fashioned, and our stone ware is pre
ferred to every other. We have already suppres
sed the importation of some important articles,
amongst which we m jy notice paper, tybfs. nails,
spades, shovels and refined sugars. Not long since
we were dependent on Europe for a supply of e
very kind of hardware used for saddlery. We.
now have work-shops in which every variety of
mounting far harness is'made. A In tie exertion
would prevent the foreign supplies of bridle bits,
ard stirrup irons t a'nl the same may be remark
ed of our gilded, waret.
It is to be lattunied how far prejudice leads
some persons in tlieir preference tor foreign arti
cles— Many hats are annually fabricated in the
United Slates, and labelled, as of £nglisli maim
facture, which .would not be worn it this harm •
less deception were not practised—sucli is the
fact—but for X\\\%prejudice, there need not be a
single hat imparted from Europe.
We have reason to. believe, that no one will
hereafter attempt to import lead shot; thisl con
ceive to be demonstrated by these “ cloud-capt”
towers, which individuals have erected in this vi
cinity, at an expense, and with a liberality which
reflects honor on the parties, and loudly calls for
the protection of the government.
With an anxious v. sli L look forward to that
period of our history, when our catalogue ofim
ports shall only recount to ts, the name of the ar
ticles which are the productions, of refined luxury
and profligate extravagance—it will he well loi
ns ever to hold European artists anil manufactu
reres onr journeymen for such like articles of this
description—it will be better for iis, never to Aa
bituatc ourselves to ttieir use ; for when we do,
.vc may consider our citizens us members of a de- I
chmng state.
Till- cultivation oj'flax iirul hemp i* ifiaking ra
pid progress We annually receive considerable
quantities of the latter from li e borders of the O
hio and from other parts of the western territory,
which is manufactured into cmJage and canvas
for our numerous merchant ships ; and these are
allowed to be elegai.t models for European imita
tors. Witlt inward satisfaction do 1 well remem
ber to have seen in the 'Jjort of London, thou
sands of its proud inhabitants lining the borders
of the Thames, and gazing with astonishment on
these beautiful results of American genius.
(Jur looms are multiplying in all directions, and
they are out in motion for various purposes—
w e have made more progress in the art of vteaving
in the same time, than what was done in Europe,
in a period not far removed from the present —
It appears to me, that we are not only more suc
cessful in invention, but that we are also more
disposed to adopt foreign improvements in our
own establishments. It would scarcely be credit
ed, had we not respectable authority for our as
sertion, that twenty five yeats ago, the use of the
fl,-shuttle was not unaerttood, by a single weaver In
tile Norwich trade in England'j’
As respects the improvement of machines,hu
man ingenuity is uatexiiausted—our countrymen,
in this respect, have exhibited many proofs of
their skill —tlie invention of a machine for making
cotton and wool cards, stands unrivalled by every
other. Tin: accuracy and regularity of Its nioti
lions, and the complicated results, would lead
one to suspect a species of intelligence to be iuiie
: rent and concealed in its structure $
| 'I he su cess of manufactories depeivls much
! ‘ipoii proper and good ilia, bines—the cotton ma
nufacture is entirely depe.ulent upon them. No
eNpeiwe or trouble should he valued, in procu
ring models of all such machines in the various
arts, as seem to bear the most distant relation to
our ns ii.lW.tm ts.
“ The pow er of steam, In producing effects to
which huully any powers of mechanism are e
qua), have been observed*’—engines upon this
principle, are now made in our country. In ma
ny situations, where streams are wanting, “ this
active and potent principle,” may be advantage
ously employed—thirty years have not elapsed
since its first application to spinning of cotton in
I ^lunches'er. '1 Mat which after many unsuccessful
| vHurts could not be accomplished in Europe, and
auaiiiniiu.il as a cranura, liasytCUtca 10 UIC su
perior^ vcniu* of one'yt our country—lie taught the
worUi ov means steam- to oppose and ascend
the most powerful and rapid currents, with safety,
steadiness and dispatch.
11 it l>e a truth-, that during the rise and growth
of stales, the military arts chictly flourish—we
can furnish numerous instances, by referring to
the brilliunt ntchuitmcnts obtained during our
glorious revolutionary struggles, as proofs of our
advanet mi nt as a nation
Ou. ample piuvisionti for the relief of the poor,
our hospitals, even our prisons, are demonstrative
/•r r.js, that we do not neglect those duties which
constitute the orriumints of human nature; our mild
lares, and the manner of their execution, that we
not strangers to those feelings and to tliat
s inputhy which is becoming an advanced state
of civilized society. It becomes us to cultivate
the useful arts. I do not despair, that in imitati
on ol the ancients, altars will be erected In honor
ol many of my countrymen, as tile inventors of
some of them—our manufactories then will Hon
l isii, our independence will be secured, and w6
shall surpass those periods which were the pride
of Rome and At hem.

A German Mechanic, of the name of MxEi.it,
is now exhibiting at .Paris, an automaton of a
singular coustructibli. The figure exhibits a
Trumpeter in the uniform of the Band o| the
French imperial Guards, and at the word of
command Raises the Trumpet to it*- moutli and
plays some exquisite pieces of martial music —
The whole of the mechanism is contained in the
clujst of the automat u—.its fc.u rv^-t upon a
boat'd to wliich castors are utli&ed. and the pro
prietor moves it from place to place, in the exhi
bition room, to shew that there is no coiiiiiuini
cation with any other apaitmeot. In this respect
it is superior to the celti ir.iled automaton flute
player of M V.vncansoi, which otic*? made so
much noise in Europe : this latter tigtue recli
ned against a wall, behind which some compli
cated machinery was supposed u> be placed.
The most wonderful part of M. Maetzi’s .itsto
m a ton, is the effect produced by the lips of the
figure upon the Trumpet, which are in. de to
exhibit .ill the delicacy of toil oh peculiar to the
lips of the human body. No jarring or cranking
sound of machinery is to he heard, although the
ear be ajipiitd close to the body of the automa
ton, nor can apy musical sound be e mitted un
less when the Trumptt is applied to the mouth.
At the conclusion of the exhibition M. Muelzi
aits down to a Piano forte, and his Trumpeter
performs an accompaniment to several pieces oi
music with all tiie precision of a first performer.
This artist lias heretofore distinguished himself
by several improvements on musical instruments.

IMPORTANT,.
We Have the pleasure of informing the pubi c,
that a Gentleman, a member of the .Association
for cultivating the Cochineal, has produced to us,
up wards of one thousand insects of the real Co
chineal alive, and natives of this state. Tlity
are left at Dr. Moser’s, in Rroad-Street, for the
inspection of the curious and well-\v.slier to the
prosperity of Carolina, who will there have an
opportunity of contrasting them with the Mexi
can Cochineal, and see how far they surpass it
in beauty of colour. We have further the satis
faction of informing the public, tliat these in
sects abound in this state ; and that their quali
ty has been pronounced by a Chymist far to
exceed those imported, and it is Iris opinion, that
a few years will give us a3 great a superiority
in that invaluable Dye, as we now pussscss in our
Cotton. ~.City Gazette. v
(C/* The Coclqneal is principally reared by the
Mexicans, who are Said to send annually to Eu
rope 1,000,000 pounds, and nearly as mucii to the
E. Indies, where they sell at about 'Ito 5 dolls,
per pound. These insects derive their rich
scarlet colour, from feeding on the juice of the
great Prickly Pear, otherwise called great Indf
tin Fig. Nopal or Opunin Major. This hush
grows to the height of 5 or 6 feet,divested of the
barbed bristles which surround the dwarf kind,
U composed ofgieal ovel leaves,or articulation of
a thick body. The same insects nave been obser
ved by Botanists on other plants but without
their delicate colour.
The Pear is to be found at Beaufort in S C
in a loose sandy soil, not further thun half a
mile from salt water. A wilier in the City Ga
zette supposes it not to be a native, but to have
been imported from Mexico, it being found prin
cipally growing about the ruins of the old Spa
nish forts and wharves on the borders of the
Blulf at Beaufort.

A very respectable gentleman of this city, sent
us yesterday a sample of Salt, with the follow
ing account of it :—“ The sample of Salt now
sent you was made in April last, near Wilming
ton, in North Carolina, where several persons
have undertaken to make it in large quantities,
on the same plan and with the same process ———
The crystals of the Salt are siriall and not very
equal, which is owing to the weakness of the
sun’s heat in the spring—but that which will be
made in June, July and August, will he of a lar
ger grain. Reckon ng as near as possible the
expences on such undertakings, they find that
ten feet square of salt-water, will yield one bush
el of Salt, and that, on an average, it will come
to about 5'J cents per bushel—but these expences
will decrease as the works progress.”
The above mentioned sample may be seen at
the Ofliceofthc City Gazette.
40,000 Dallart found !
Forty thousand Dollars in specie, were lately
Found in a hollow tree in Grayson county in this
state, by a man named Perkins, a fanner. They
are said to be lighter than the American stan
dard, or Spanish milled dollars. Perkins has,
we are told, sent some of them to the U. States
mint. On this circumstance being mentioned
here a few days ago, in the presence of an intel
ligent country gentleman, he immediately re
marked the dollars must be of** Chisell’s ma
king ” By this gentleman we are informed, that
about 45 or 50 years ago, a man named Chiseil
discovered, and commenced the working of the
I.ead Mines, on new river In Grayson county—
that as usual, some silver was found among the
ore, and that Chiseil harl obtained a prrmit from
the British King to coin as much money from
tine to lime, at> would pay off his workmen.—
Ti tle to the adage, he took the ell for tile inch,
and probably the discovery of Perkins is the fruits
of Chisell’s industry, which a premature death
(foul play cannot prosper) prevented him from
enjoying. In this county, our informant adds,
at the place now occupied by capt. Hubert Hun
ter, on the main Richmond road, Chiseil (piar
rcllfd with, and stabbed to death, a man named
Rutledge. Chiseil was seized, and carried to
Williuirnburg, tried, and condemned to the gal
lows.. He was found dead in the goal on the
morning of the day destined for his execution.
