PENNSYLVANIA CONSTITUTIONALISTS.
The democrats in Pennsylvania, who are friendly to the existing constitution of that state, and to the re-election of governor McKean, have issued a long but well-written address to the people. It is signed by George Logan, Isreal Isreal, Samuel Wetherell, junr. A. J. Dallas, J. B. Smith, Isaac Worrel and Blair M'Clenachan. We have made the following extracts from the address:
EXTRACTS.
"By specious tales of imaginary wrongs, you have been urged to doubt the reality of the happiness you enjoy. In the hope of substituting the glitter of impracticable theories, for the steady light of experience, the fundamental laws and constitutions of the land are assailed. The wreath of honor, placed by yourselves upon the brow of sages and of chiefs, is rudely violated by strange and obtrusive hands. And the republican party of Pennsylvania (out-running the approbious prediction of its enemies) seems eager to become the speedy instrument of its own destruction."
"No sooner were the stations of power, and patronage, occupied by distinguished republicans; [democrats] scarcely had the toils of the recent conflict, ceased to require relaxation and repose; when symptoms of ambition and intrigue; of jealousy and discontent; of disunion and disorder, awakened the patriotic mind; to a sense of new troubles and of new sorrows. The distinction then became obvious between those republicans, who had fought for the cause and those who had only fought for themselves. With some merit on the score of service, but with more pretension from the desire of remuneration, a small but active combination of malcontents, was formed to influence or controul the measures of government: And these men, in their career, presumptuous, intrepid, and persevering, have deemed no claim too extravagant to be advanced; no artifice too mean to be employed; no obstacle too great to be surmounted."
"While they have marked, for popular scorn and suspicion, every other citizen in public employment, their business, and pleasure, and pride, have been the designation of offices for themselves, and the hungry circle of their adherents. The highest have been above the soarings of their vanity; nor are the lowest beneath the cravings of their indigence. The cabinet of State and the direction of a bank; the desk of the customs, and the bench of a court; the magistracy of a city, and the clerkship of a department; contracts for public supplies, and agencies for charitable institutions; military commissions, and medical appointments; have been, alike, the aim, the hope, or the solace, of their labours."
"To oppose a candidate, pertinaciously nominated by the leading malcontents, has been deemed an inexcusable heresy, although a republican [democrat] was his competitor. A refusal to acquiesce in the decision of the malcontents at a popular meeting has been arraigned as apostasy, although the decision was surreptitiously obtained. A verdict for the acquittal of Judges, whom the malcontents had fore doomed to conviction, has been stigmatized as political defection, although it was delivered, in favor of innocence, under the solemnity of an oath. In short, every freeman, who was unwilling to yield obedience to the mandates of a secret tribunal, and to sacrifice substantial benefits, for airy novelty; who would not applaud characters, that he did not approve, nor vindicate measures that he never advised; who disdained to carry the prejudices of party into the circles of social life, or to declare all learning, learned men, and good manners, hostile to the dignity of republican virtue; the malcontents have arbitrarily enrolled as a Quid , or a Federalist ; a Traitor , or a Tory ."
"Whatever was prepared for us, by our venerable Ancestors, is ridiculed as obsolete. What ever is the production of cotemporary wisdom, is branded with corruption. The Patriots of America are supposed to have been ignorant of the true interests of their country; and her States men are reproached with a treacherous contempt of the rights of man: While the impious and vicious standard of human perfectibility, is proclaimed to be the only rational guide, in the formation of a free government; and the Malcontents themselves to be the only qualified Rulers of a free people."
Under the impulse of these dogma, and with a view to the introduction of wild, pernicious and unheard of schemes of legislation and politics.
The Malcontents have endeavoured to deprive us of the inestimable right of trial by Jury, in cases of trespass and damages, as well as in cases of debt and contract.
They have endeavoured to deprive us of the security of independent Judges; of Judges independent of popularity and persecution, as well as of power and patronage.
They have endeavoured to deprive us of the sanctuary of Courts of Justice, where publicity will always ensure impartiality; substituting the private chamber of an individual justice, where secrecy too often encourages oppression, and begets impunity.
They have endeavoured to deprive us of the freedom of election; by a display of the terrors of denunciation and proscription; threatening the good man with the loss of character, and the poor man with the loss of office.
They have endeavoured to deprive us of the liberty of the press, by denying to republicans the usual channels of public communication.
They have endeavoured to deprive us of the honors of a well organized militia, by flagrant examples of disobedience, contumacy, and disorder.
They have endeavoured to deprive us of the benefits of the Common Law of Pennsylvania, as recognized, approved, and confirmed, by the Whigs of 1776.
They are endeavoring to overthrow the state constitution, involving in its ruins the order of society, and the principle of republicanism.
And finally, they are endeavoring through the example and influence of Pennsylvania, TO SUBVERT THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION, at the hazard of civil war, and a dissolution of the union.
After mentioning the objections stated by the revolutionists to the present constitution, the address says "With these pretexts men deranged by Utopian theories, or corrupted by foreign arts — men formed turbulent by nature, or become so from necessity; men who delight in confusion and subvert upon delamation; idlers without social attachments, and politicians by trade, gathering their scanty numbers into a malignant circle, have scattered envy and malice, fear and suspicion, throughout all the land."
It should be kept in mind that the address from which the above extracts are made, is issued by one sect of democrats against another sect of democrats; and that the sect to which it alludes includes Lieb, a member of congress, Duane, editor of the Aurora, Snyder, a candidate for the governor's chair in Pennsylvania, and many of the members of the legislature of that Distracted state.
NEW-YORK, June 26.
Late from Martinique.
By the brig Actress , captain Tinker, arrived last night in sixteen days from Martinique, we learn that the French and Spanish squadrons had left that place the 5th instant for Guadalupe, where they arrived and sailed again the 8th, bound to Antigua. Two French frigates had arrived at Martinique, and reported that they sailed from Ferrol in company with a French and Spanish fleet of fourteen sail of the line, with frigates, transports, and troops on board bound to that place. The above frigates parted from the fleet in a gale of wind. In going out of Guadalupe the combined fleets captured a British ship of thirty guns. No accounts had been received at Martinique of the arrival of a British naval force to windward as before reported.
Arrived, the schooner Commerce , Salomon, in 28 days from St. Anns, Jamaica.
Sailed in company with ship New York , Douglas, for New York, and spoke her on the 28th May, in lat. 18, 45.
On the 3d instant, the Commerce was taken by a French privateer of one gun, carried into the Isle of pines, detained one day, and plundered.
Spoke June 16, lat. 32, 47, long. 77, 38, ship Andromache , from Jamaica for New York. Same day, schr. Jacob , James and John, Noble, 11 days from St. Thomas from Wilmington.
The schooner —, Caldwell , was to sail in 2 days.
An embargo was laid on all vessels at St. Anns, but the Commerce was permitted to sail, having previously cleared out.
NORFOLK, June 25.
Arrived, schooner Richmond , Hand, 10 days from Philadelphia.
Schooner Amicus , Jackson, 9 days from Philadelphia.
Schooner Friend's Adventure , Dickson, 6 days from New- Providence. Sunday off Roanoke, spoke the schooner Concord , of Dighton, and took from on board the mate and crew of the brig Comet , captain Clifton, of this port, and the crew of the schooner Imperial , of Baltimore, captured by the French privateer schooner Matilde , of 18 guns and 120 men. The mate of
the Comet states that she sailed from Jeremie on the 6th of June, bound for Norfolk, in company with the armed ship Neptune and Maria , of and for Philadelphia; brig Isabella , schooners Nonsuch , Imperial , Hetty , Maryland , and Defiance , for Baltimore; with which they parted the day after they left land, not being able to keep them longer company. On the 19th, at half past 5, P. M. in lat. 23, 20, long. 76, 30, fell in with the privateer schr. Matilde , of Guadalupe, who made a prize of the brig, took all hands out, except the steward and cook, and put them all, except the captain, in irons. At the time the crew of the Comet was taken on board they found captain Neversen , and the crew of the schooner Imperial , and captain David Killock , of the brig Clyde , of Greenock, captured on a voyage from St. Thomas to Liverpool, on the 9th of June; and they were told that the privateer had taken 7 American vessels, before she fell in with the Imperial , although she had been but one month out.
On the 19th she put 17 Americans on board a brig from New Orleans bound to Liverpool; she was the brig Rosanna of Philadelphia.
On the 21st fell in with the schooner Concord , capt. Webb , on board of which vessel the above mentioned crews were put (with the exception of the captains with whom the commander of the privateer said he durst not part) with only two days provisions, although the schooner was then on allowance. The mate says they were tolerably well treated by the commander of the privateer, who read to them his instructions, which were to hang all persons taken in the trade with the blacks, the crews therefore, acknowledge themselves indebted to him for his forbearance. On the 22d fell in with the ship New York , of New York, and were supplied with bread and water; she also took two hands on board.
Captain Webb , to whom both crews are desirous of expressing their gratitude for his kind treatment, sailed from Jamaica on the 26th of May, on which day an embargo was to be laid on all the shipping in port. The ports had been opened for six months, by proclamation, dated 21st May.
The privateer Matilde is one of the squadron off Charleston.
Ship Hope , Field , from Providence, R. Island for Havanna, with forty-two tons of cheese, has put into Nassau, N. P. in distress, having struck on a reef, the north of Beman Island, to the E. by S. distant about 8 miles; got her off in a few minutes; rudder unshipped, and vessel leaky; this happened on the 8th ult. On the 15th spoke the ship Comet , of Baltimore, from Liverpool, the captain of which treated captain Field in a friendly manner; as did also the captain of the brig Thetis of New York; with both of which vessels, being bound to New-Orleans, captain parted on the Bahama bank, June 5, and arrived the next day at Nassau.

SATURDAY, JUNE 29.
A letter from a gentleman in New Orleans to his correspondent in Philadelphia says:
"The report of the day is, that measures have been taken to dispossess the Spaniards of the lands between the Rio Perdido and the Mississippi, and that officers had been sent to different posts to execute these measures." — The same letter adds: "I have just seen the Marquis de Casa Calvo, who tells me that Governor Claiborne's communications to him are of the most pacific nature; and that he (the Governor) had given instructions to repress any tumult or disorder that might take place."
At the close of the letter it is stated, "A letter is received by the mail from Baton Rouge, which says, an attack was expected to be made on the fort, so that you will perceive the idea expressed in the beginning of my letter is prevalent in that part of the country."
From Gibraltar. — Captain Dyer , who arrived at Boston on Thursday last from Malaga and Gibraltar, left the latter place April 26—17 days after the Toulon fleet had passed. A cutter arrived, which met with lord Nelson's fleet proceeding toward Egypt to look for the Frenchmen.
A reward of 208 dollars is offered in the Boston Gazette for the apprehension of one Silas Clarke , who has of late kept an English goods store in Union-street, Boston, and has dealt largely. He stands charged with, and has confessed, having forged and passed notes of hand, and bills of exchange, to a very great amount, both in Boston and Salem.
FROM THE N. Y. EVENING POST.
Sentiments of foreigners respecting Mr. Jefferson's administration. — Having waited a reasonable time to see if any answer would be given to the article of last Friday week, proving that the department of the London Monthly Magazine, entitled "American Literature," is written "on this side of the Atlantic," and of course is not entitled to the credit and importance ascribed to it as containing the sentiments of a foreigner by the democratic papers, I beg the liberty to suppose the cause is given up. But since certain folks have taken a fancy to bolster themselves up by the pretended approbation of foreign journalists, we now present the following extract from the fourth volume of the Edinburgh Review, a work of great celebrity and conducted by men of learning and high respectability. The extract is taken from the "Review of Davis' Travels."
"During his stay in the metropolis, Mr. Davis was present at one of the most interesting debates with which the house of representatives has been occupied since the accession of the present president. One of the very first measures of the administration, was to propose the absolute and entire abolition of all the internal taxes, comprehending those which had been imposed on distilled liquors, on refined sugars, on licenses to retailers of wine and spirits, on sales by auction, on carriages, and on stamps, and to substitute in their place certain customs and duties on the importation of foreign commodities. This step, we are afraid, was taken rather from a strong desire of popularity, than from any sound or deliberate principle of financial reformation. Old established taxes are commonly paid with the least reluctance, and the amount of those that were levied in America was confessedly very inconsiderable. By the repeal a deviation is made from what a celebrated writer has denominated the 'plain high road of finance;' the revenue of the country must be entirely drawn from the fluctuating source of commerce; a dependence is placed on the very winds and waves; and in case of a war, which the history of the X. Y. Z. negotiation and the affair of New-Orleans lead us to consider as an occurrence by no means so improbable as some affect to suppose, this resource must be in a great measure cut off; and it will then be necessary to resort again to those very taxes the imposition of which, at first, occasioned an insurrection, but to which the people had become accustomed and reconciled. The repeal does not appear to have been supported so much on the idea of an individual tax being exceptional, as in conformity to a regular and peculiar system of policy, objecting to the principles of internal taxation. If any particular tax had been considered as burdensome or unequal it ought certainly to have been modified or withdrawn, but we must confess ourselves utterly at a loss to comprehend the inducements to an entire and indiscriminate annihilation of these sources of revenues."
Of these imposts, that on stamps, particularly, excited the interest of the community; and altho', in a commercial country, a duty of this nature must be clearly productive, and though we are disposed to think, none can be of more just or equitable operation; yet, as the very mention of a stamp act, though imposed by his own representatives, is grating to the ear of an American citizen, and calls up to his mind remembrances of an unpleasant nature, we can readily conceive, that a timid and cautious administration might have urged the substitution of some other in its stead, or even have consented to its abolition, until a more awful and imposing crisis. But as for the duties on stills and distilled liquors, to which but a temporary resistance was made by the deluded inhabitants of the western parts of Pennsylvania, not only the necessities of government, but the policy of checking a most general and odious vice, the bane of social and domestic happiness, required their continuance.
Where spirituous liquors, both of home and foreign manufacture, are in such vast abundance, and so easily procured, a perpetual allure and irresistible temptation is held out to intemperance. The consequence is, that in no country is habitual drunkenness so prevalent as in the United States; and instead of augmenting the evil, the wholesome interposition of legislative controul is imperiously demanded for its diminution.
The repeal of the other taxes, such as those on auctions, licenses, carriages, and refined sugars, must, at first sight, appear equally inexpedient, as nothing could afford a more legitimate subject for the exercise of the just and received notions of taxation than each of these. To us,

ents a strange inconsistency, that the man who lolls in his coach, and who consumes refined sugar or wine from the miller, should give nothing for the enjoyment of those luxuries, while those in the more humble walks of life are obliged to pay an high price for the imported necessaries of life. Could the idea be entertained, that the people were too much burdened, it would certainly have been better if the federalists proposed, to lessen or take off entirely, the duties on salt, brown sugar, the cheaper teas, the coarser manufactures; and indeed, from all those articles which the poorer part of the community have the greatest reason to require, which they are more immediately concerned, and which arise rather from the necessities than the refinement of human nature."
From the Vermont Journal.
MR. ELLIOT DEFENDED.
MR. EDITOR, IF any thing can add disgrace to the opposition and abuse which Mr. Elliot receives from a portion of those calling themselves republicans, and a few in news-papers, it is the mean and petulant manner by which it is conducted. — Obscure and opprobrious communications and paragraphs, passionate exclamations and mean insinuations, the indigested ebullitions of rash, inexperienced youngsters, seem to constitute the charges and opposition against him. Witness the "Old Whig," (alias the Young Lawyer) in the Political Observatory, a wretched commentator on Mr. Elliot's letters in the Vermont Gazette, and the flashy, impudent paragraphs in the Esprit. The excuse offered for this conduct, is that Mr. Elliot, with other moderate republicans, are pursuing a course calculated to divide the republicans. This extreme jealousy of division among the republicans, or particular minor questions, seem chiefly to prevail with the violent understrappers, and very widely differs from the dignified demeanor of Mr. Jefferson: and ity comports with the steady republican spirit of his favorite paper, the National Intelligencer. He knows human nature too well to expect a perfect agreement on all occasions; and is too much of a republican to attempt this perfect conformity, either by denunciations and anathemas, or by the wicked machinery of intrigue. He well knows that three fourths of the American people, let them be designated and divided by whatever names, are good rational republicans: And he feels (as he ought to feel) secure in their good judgment and support. Even in the great divisions of New York, between the friends of Mr. Burr and the Clintonians, our President would only be prevailed upon to say that he should deem all of them friends to the administration. No partial inferences marked his conduct; his soul abhors them. In fine, the President himself, with his first secretary and friend, Mr. Madison, and all the great officers of the administration, are what rashness and zeal without knowledge, accuse Mr. Elliot of being: Moderate, rational republicans, not infuriated arbitrary zealots, imprudent declaimers of false patriots.
It is not pretended that Mr. Elliot's conduct, or indeed any man's, is unvariably unexceptionable. No, he has his eccentricities; he has his faults. But it is contended that his conduct thus far, has been distinguished by a generous, impartial and unshaken independence, and a firm adherence to the constitution and liberties of the people. Why then this abuse — this outrage again him from those who recently extolled him to the skies? Why these impudent, insulting paragraphs? Alas! but one answer can be afforded. Because he refuses to be led about like a patient, submissive spaniel, by a few young and ardent Hotspurs. Because he dares to think and act for himself, and because the moderate republicans and some of the federal newspapers commend him for such conduct. This rouses the indignation of the over zealous scribblers of the times. This leads them with headstrong fury to the prostration of every principle of charity and decorum, and to the most unfounded and malignant attacks upon his reputation. But you have seen the firm rock on the shore, against which the furious surges have dashed for ages. You have seen those waves recede and the rock remain uninjured by their violence.
Let us briefly survey the accusations of these giant writers, preferred against Mr. Elliot. They charge him with endeavoring to divide the union; with ambition; and with having risen to his present station from an obscure and humble station! If
to preserve the constitution of the union, and the state sovereignties unimpaired, and to effect a friendly correspondence and harmony between all the good citizens of the country, and all parties is leading to a disunion and division of the states, the first charge is fully supported.
If an ambition to acquit himself like an honest independent man, and to preserve the constitution and liberties of his country is criminal, he stands convicted of the 2d. charge.
To the last charge, that of having risen from indigent and humble circumstances to a seat in the national legislature, he must undoubtedly plead guilty, and rely on the mercy of his country for pardon. For he certainly was not brought from a palace or a dukedom to his seat in congress, but from a private humble station, some times to be sure denominated the "post of honor," among his fellow citizens!!
Here reader, pause and reflect! Reflect upon the enormity of this crime charged upon Mr. Elliot! But clothe thyself in charity and benevolence, that thy indignation may not rise too high should he finally be acquitted by a large majority of his constituents, to prepare your mind for such an event, I add the following observations, for I profess myself his advocate on this point, as his guilt seems to be the result of some unhappy fatality.
If Mr. Elliot is guilty of having risen by dint of application and genius from very indigent and humble circumstances to a seat in congress, I plead in extenuation of his crime, that he was early bereaved of a tender and industrious father, and left though a child, yet the oldest of several small brothers, with a disconsolate and invaluable mother, all without property, the means of obtaining it, or connection of ability to assist them; that his conduct from that gloomy period to the present time has invariably satisfied the demand of filial and fraternal duty. For their sakes and his own improvement he has denied himself participation in the expensive entertainments, and fashionable amusements of the day, and has generally appropriated what little funds his industry procured, to the comfort and happiness of his widowed mother and fatherless junior brothers. To them he has been a father, a friend, a protector, and has had no small agency in preparing them for usefulness, and ameliorating the hard fortunes of his family: And this too against a furious tide of adverse politics, for it must not be concealed that he has always been an inflexible republican, and during the strong reign of federalism, was abhorrently abused for his boldness and zeal. If this brief and faithful statement of facts cannot excuse him for being poor, I trust it will plead for him before that almighty being, a "father to the fatherless, and the widow's Gad!"
PATROCLUS.
PARIS, April 21.
Arts and Sciences. — There appeared a few days since upon the Sun, a large spot, with nuclei, which I observed in 9 degrees north of the solar equator. It differs little from the beautiful spots which I made use of in order to determine the sun's rotation, the memoirs of the Academy for 1775, and seems to confirm the discovery I made at that time, by showing that there are some places in preference to others where the large spots are formed. Perhaps they are mountains which collect and retain scoria of this immense furnace. The parallel that is nine degrees south of the solar equator abounds most in great spots. These spots with two nuclei, which have appeared at different periods, seem to me to set aside the system of volcanoes suggested by Mr. Herschel: there cannot be two volcanoes so near to each other, and yet remain without intermixture, and always separated by a slender thread of light.
DE LALANDE.
The minister of the interior, a short time since called on M. Bourdier, an ingenious watch maker in Magazine street, for the purpose of examining a clock, contrived & executed by this artist. It is intended for the king of Spain. This clock is 11 feet high; the sub-base is circular, resting on 8 cariatides, which support a number of arches, through which the machinism is seen. Just above these arcade is a bason to receive water, which issues as from so many springs, from the bodies of four chimæras, which sustains a lesser bason, where the waters which seem to spout out from the prows of four galleries are united; that being adapted to the four sides of a pedestal, on which a Trajan's pillar is placed. This column is covered with bas-reliefs, representing the provinces of Spain and their principal productions. On the spiral which separates the bas-reliefs, the hour,
and minutes are marked; a medalion, in form of the sun, traverses over them; and upon the globe, which terminates this column, the twelve signs of the Zodiac, are engraven, the revolution which is performed in the space of a year; a serpent, the emblem of immortality, indicating their course.
The parts of most consequence in this piece of mechanism, or if I may be allowed the expression, soul of this clock, surrounded by the sub-base composed of eight glass doors, is constructed in the manner of other clocks. It makes a concert every hour composed of two German flutes, and a piano of two parts; which make a very harmonious quartetto. It will play fifteen different tunes, effected altogether by the peculiar construction of the clock. It is only wound up once in fifteen days. Every part of the exterior contributing to the movements, is remarkable for its style of execution, and the genius displayed in their combinations, all concurring to produce such numberless and multifarious effects.
* The music is only heard from ten o'clock in the evening, to ten in the morning; nevertheless, it may be made to play all the airs, without interrupting its going.
From the present state of Denmark, by Gatteau, 1802.
"The Tribunal of Conciliation, established since one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, is composed of the most intelligent and respectable men in the vicinity; and its sessions are private. — It is competent to determine upon a great number of civil questions; and if both parties agree to the arrangement proposed by the court, its decree is registered and has legal authority. If the parties cannot be brought to agreement by the amicable interference of the mediators, they are at full liberty to prosecute their suit in a court of justice. All the proceedings of the Tribunal Conciliation are upon the unstamped paper, and they cannot be protracted longer than fifteen days in the country, and eight days in the towns, unless both parties consent to a longer delay. The expences, which do not exceed three shillings, are not payable but in cases of reconciliation. During the three years preceding that institution, there came before the courts of law, twenty-five thousand five hundred and twenty one causes; and for the three years following nine thousand six hundred and fifty three, making the astonishing difference of 15,808 lawsuits."
The idea of this court, was taken from the Dutch, among whom it likewise produced the most happy effects. And when we consider what an important point it is, that there should be time for disputes to cool; the strong probability there is, that 4 or five impartial men from the vicinage will take a right view of the case, and the reluctance that any man must feel to embark his reputation and property in opposition to their opinion, we cannot entertain a doubt of the beauty and importance of the invention. It is hardly possible, that should be bad justice which satisfies both parties, — and this species of mediation has no validity but upon such condition. It is curious too, to remark, how much the progress of rancor obstructs the natural sense of justice; it appears that plaintiff and defendant were both satisfied in 15,808 causes. If all these causes had come on to a regular hearing, and the parties been inflamed, by the expence and publicity of the quarrel, we doubt if there would have been one single man out of the whole number, who would have acknowledged that his cause was justly given against him."
FALLS OF NIAGARA.
Two different views of this stupendous cataract, on a scale of about 30 by 24 inches, have lately been published in London, by Mr. John Vander Lyn, a native of Kingston, in this state. This young gentleman under the laudable patronage of individuals, who were wishing to reward merit, has obtained a degree of eminence as a painter, which is surpassed but by few, if any, of his profession in America. He is now making a tour through Europe, under the patronage, we understand, of the society of the fine arts in New York, for the purpose of enriching the collection of paintings &c. belonging to that institution. Mr. Vander Lyn spent considerable time, and probably exerted his best talents in delineating correctly the Falls of Niagara, on the spot: his labours procured him high encomiums from the amateurs in painting, and the plates are correct copies of the originals, executed by the first engravers in London.
AGRICULTURAL.
A method to prevent smut damaging wheat, with some remarks on the culture of the same.
I have found that three pecks of seed is sufficient for one acre of ground of all kinds of soil and strength, if more be sown, on the acre, the stalks of a great number of them will not grow to their full height, nor the ear to its proper size, nor kernel to its full bigness, and the weight will be from 2 to 5 pounds less in the bushel.
I am sensible many farmers will oppose this practice; but they will see the utility of it if they will try it; for it is certain that land will bear about the quantity yearly, and if in straw, then the kernels must be fewer and smaller.
There is another particular that the farmers fail in very much; that is, in curing their wheat before it is perfectly dry; which is almost the only reason of the smut troubling them. I commonly let my wheat stand longer than my neighbors, and never have been troubled with smut, except when I bought my seed; from which I have concluded that it was the time of harvesting that prevented smut from damaging flour. About thirty years since I bought a crop on the ground; it proved to be very smutty; nearly one 8th. I thought to try what would prevent its damaging the flour; accordingly I let it stand till it was quite dry, so that when cut, in binding, the ground was checked under the sheaf. When I thrashed it there was no smut to be seen. Ever since, by the same method, have found the same good effect. Wheat that is harvested after this manner will be as good for seed as if there had been no smut among it. Farmers are of opinion if their wheat shells in binding there is a great loss, but they are mistaken; there is greater loss in threshing wheat that is harvested before it is dry than is wasted in harvesting when it is over dry (so termed.) If there is any smut in wheat that sweats in the least degree in the mow, it will certainly infect the kernel, and by that means smut is propagated.
Cutting wheat with a cradle is pernicious, for it collects a great quantity of green weeds, &c. which before it is dry is put into the mow or stack, and will certainly sweat, and by that means the smut, which is light, will be carried with the steam through the whole mow or stack — besides, the cradle cuts off that, which if left standing would enrich the ground.
I have but little expectation that these remarks will at present answer my honest intentions; for we find that education and tradition have so bound down people, that there is no moving them, let their principles or practice be ever so absurd. But as interest is the great spring in all our actions, I hope some will be induced to pay attention to the experiments made forty years by a FARMER.

The Tract on which he resides, containing about 740 acres, 5 miles below Alexandria, and within one mile of Potomac river, in an agreeable neighborhood; the situation pleasant and remarkably healthy; the land level and well adapted to the production of Indian corn, wheat, and other small grain. The improvements are, a large and commodious dwelling house, two stories high, 54 feet long and 35 feet wide, with four rooms and a passage on a floor, a piazza nine feet wide on each front, the full length of the house, and an excellent cellar under the whole house divided into four rooms and a passage; a good kitchen, meat house, dairy, ice-house, and every other necessary building; all in good repair, with a well of excellent water; a good garden, apple & peach orchard, and about 40 acres of excellent timothy meadow, and as much more may be made at a very small expence: Also, an overseer's house, negro quarters, a granary, &c.
One other Tract, containing about 1250 acres, 6 miles below Alexandria, divided into two farms sufficient to work 9 or 10 hands on each: The buildings on these farms consist only of overseer's houses, negro quarters, granaries, &c. There are 40 or 50 acres of good timothy meadow well enclosed, and a great deal more may be made at a trifling expence; the land very level and fertile, with an abundance of timber. This tract is allowed, by those who know it well, to be equal, if not superior, to any tract of the same extent in this part of the country. It will be sold entire, or divided, as may be found most convenient.
One other Tract near the last mentioned one, containing 402 acres, rented to tenants at will; a considerable portion of which is level and the soil good. There are on it, two or three beautiful and commanding situations for buildings, and a meadow from which one of the tenants sells from 15 to 20 tons of hay a year.
Another Tract, of about 325 Acres, 9 or 10 miles below Alexandria, through which the stage road leading from thence to Richmond passes. This would be an excellent stand for a tavern, there being none at this time between Alexandria and Colchester, a distance of 16 or 18 miles: Also,
One other Tract near the last, containing about 400 acres. Both the last mentioned tracts are likewise rented to tenants at will; they produce good corn, wheat, and other small grain, and there is on each of them a considerable quantity of excellent timothy meadow in good order, from which the tenants sell a great deal of hay. For terms, apply to the subscriber, five miles below Alexandria.
