POLITICAL EXAMINER.
No. VI.
"Hic tamen vivit, vivit? imo vero etiam in Senatum venit: sit politici consilii particeps; notat et designat oculis ad eadem unumquemque nostrum!"
M. T. CIC. in L. Catalium Oratio.
To permit crimes to pass unnoticed is a dereliction of political morality; it is destructive to individual and political security. Still more inexcusable and criminal is it to cherish and promote, or to suffer the promotion of the flagrant violators of social duty and of public law. It is essentially important to the regularity of government and "the harmony of social intercourse," that the punishment of crimes should certainly and speedily follow their commission. Impressed with this idea, foreign and distant nations sometimes insert in their mutual compacts an article for the apprehension and delivery of fugitive criminals. An instance of this kind occurs in the "treaty of amity, commerce and navigation between his Britannic majesty and the United States of America." By the twenty-seventh article of that treaty, it is stipulated "that his majesty and the United States, on mutual requisitions, by them respectively, or by their respective ministers or officers authorized to make the same, will deliver up to justice all persons, who, being charged with murder or forgery, committed within the jurisdiction of either shall seek an asylum within any of the countries of the other." Tho' this article has expired by the limitations of the treaty, yet it shews the important point of view in which the contracting parties considered the punishment of the infractors of their laws. This right of covering fugitive criminals from another state, if it does exist, must arise, as we before observed, from stipulation. If foreign and disconnected states consider it as a privilege of sufficient importance to make it a subject of negotiation, we may reasonably suppose that the several states of our union, closely united, as they are, by the bonds of national connection, have secured to themselves a similar privilege by their national compact. In conformity with this supposition, we find the second section of the fourth article of the constitution, "that a person charged, in any state, with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee from justice and be found in another state, shall, on demand of the executive authority of the state from which he fled, be delivered up to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime." His flight into another state cannot, then, avail; for the officers of justice may still pursue and arrest him. There are, however, large tracts of inhabited country, within the territorial limits of the United States, which are not yet erected and incorporated into distinct states of the union. The clause of the constitution above quoted, is confined in its operation to states, and will not therefore apply to these territories. But by a law of congress, of February the 12th, 1798, the same privilege of requisition and the same duty of delivery is extended to the territories north, west, and south of the Ohio.
Provision is thus made for the re-delivery and transportation of criminals to the proper tribunal, and in these cases, it is the duty of the executive authority of "the state having jurisdiction of the crime," to pursue, recover and bring to justice the escaping criminal. For, from the importance of the punishment of offenders, results a duty to the rulers of every state to use every effort to arrest the career of those men, who have wantonly trampled on the laws of nature and their country. This obligation rests, with a double weight on the several states of our union. It is a duty they owe themselves for their security, and also to the Union, for the tranquility and security of that family of states of which they form the component parts. With them we find it is left to guard and defend the property and lives of their own citizens from violation. The state to which criminals flee cannot take cognizance of the crimes; it cannot punish an offender for an act committed beyond the limits of its jurisdiction; it can punish only the violators of its own laws. If then they are suffered to escape, and are not demanded by the state in which they were perpetrated, they may pursue their career with impunity: they may fly from state to state, till our country is crowded by murderers whom we cannot bring to justice, and inundated with the unavenged blood of our fellow-citizens. The care which has been taken to secure and extend this power of apprehension and transportation, is a proof of the importance,
the duty, and even the necessity of its exercise. Why create and secure the right by a constitutional provision, if it is unimportant? Why is it guarded and extended with so much care, if no duty of exercise accompanies the right? Where is the wisdom and utility of these provisions, if they are forever to slumber?
But still, it may be said, the criminal may take refuge in Columbia District, and to that place none of these clauses extends. Here then, we arrive at the final object of our inquiry. If he is safe here, our discussion is at an end, and the man who has, without the sanction of law, taken the life of another, or in other words, is guilty of murder, may legislate for the security of the property, liberty and lives of his fellow-citizens. He may bid defiance to the principles of republicanism and the arm of civil authority, and "glory in his shame." But this degrading idea is not to be admitted. We will suppose, as our inquiry implies, that the criminal has fled to this central point of our union; that he has taken refuge in this sanctuary of our country, and that, shielded by the brass of his own audacity, he is unblushingly seated in the capitol, where none but the congregated worthies of our nation should dare to shew their faces.
We will say in the emphatic language of Cicero, which is quoted at the head of this essay, "The murderer yet lives! Lives did I say? Yea he even comes into the senate; he shares our public deliberations; he points out & marks with his eye each one of us for destruction." Even here he is within the grasp of justice. He may be hurled from his exalted station and brought, for trial, to the tribunal of his insulted country. An act of congress dated March 3. A. D. eighteen hundred and one, (volume five, page two hundred and eighty seven,) contains the following provision:
"In all cases where the constitution or laws of the United States, provide that criminals and fugitives from justice, or persons held to labor in any state, escaping into another State, shall be delivered up to the Chief Justice of the said District (of Columbia) shall be, and he is hereby empowered and required to cause to be apprehended and delivered such criminal, fugitive from justice, or persons fleeing from service, as the case may be, who shall be found within the District, in the same regulations as the executive authority of the several states are required to do the same; and all executive and judicial officers are hereby required to obey all lawful precepts or other process issued for that purpose, and to be aiding and assisting in such delivery." Here then he is routed from his last retreat, and thus our government is rescued from the imputation of glaring impotence. If the states are vigilant, and perform their duty, the criminal can find no lurking hole so deep, and no elevation so high as to secure him from the grasp of the laws of his country and the penal consequences of his crimes. He will not long find shelter in the legislature to mock the majesty of government, trample on the principles of republican virtue, and insult the union. In this elevated station, he becomes conspicuous; he may be seized with more facility by the ministers of injured justice, led to the bar of conviction, and made to feel the heavy arm of vengeance. He may be made to repent the day when his heart became callous to the impressions of humanity. He may look back, with pain, to the time when
"Vain was the widow's, vain the orphan's cry, To touch his feelings, or to fetch his rage— Vain the pure drop that roll'd from beauty's eye, Vain the dumb grief of supplicating age."
His time has arrived, and now retributive justice will compel him to implore and to supplicate in vain. We find there is a constitutional power to
"Drag forth th' illegal monster into light, And bid the cruel feel the pains they give."
are venial; they are the aberrations of a juvenile judgment, not of the heart, and he will submit with gratitude and correction.
HORTENSIUS.
Anecdotes of the late lord Chatham.
A country friend of sir Robert Walpole's hearing Mr. Pitt, (who was then but a cornet, and had just got into the house) speaking with great elocution upon some public topic, told the minister the same day at his table, that he thought it would be well worth his while to make that young man a captain. "My dear sir" says sir Robert, "to let you see how much I think with you, make him my friend and I'll give him a regiment."
Lord Chatham had great knowledge of the characters of men, and could apply himself with great dexterity even to their foibles, when proper occasions demand it.
When he was rather forced upon the late King as his minister, by the unanimous voice of the people, he found it necessary to receiver the king's temper, by some little exterior mark of respect. An occasion soon presented itself, which was to bring his majesty the news of a victory. His lordship, however was so ill of the gout, that when he was led to the closet door he could not stand. The king seeing this called for a stool. No sire, says Mr. Pitt it is not my duty to sit in your presence; but though I cant stand I can kneel; and in that position read the dispatches. The king was so pleased with the manner of his behavior, and the news, that he spoke ever afterwards of Mr. Pitt, with great friendship. His general phrase was "I like that Pitt—he's an honest man—I understand all he says."
Another instance of Mr. Pitts personal attention to the king was upon accepting the seals; receiving them with great marks of deference and respect. The late Chase Price used to say jocosely upon this occasion "that he bowed so low you could see the tip of his nose nocked between his legs."
When the present lord Stanhope, was courting his first wife, a daughter of lord Chatham, the father found them one morning engaged in some friendly difference, which he wanted to know the reason of, "Why to tell you the truth my lord" says, lord S. "I cant get your daughter to fix the day of marriage, and as you have come in so opportunely, will you be so good as to settle it for us?" O with all my heart" says he, "let me see, next Friday will be St. Thomas's day, the shortest day and the longest night—of course the properest day to consummate a marriage." The lady blushed, and his lordship claimed and possessed the rewards of his arbitration.
When the Duke of New Castle and Mr. Pitt were joint secretaries, the former loved a warm room, and the latter, from the constant fever of his gout, could not bear it. This often teased the duke who was obliged to hold conferences with Mr. Pitt, at his own house.—One cold morning when Mr. Pitt was confined to his bed with the gout, the duke begged hard, for a fire in the room, I cant possibly bear it replied Mr. Pitt. Why then you can spare me a blanket, says the duke (snatching at a counterpane that lay at the foot of the bed, and wrapping it round him,) as I find myself so cold, that without this covering I am afraid my words will freeze before they reach you.
He despised all kind of what is called puffing, so much that he took no notice of those able pens, who voluntarily praised his administration. Owen Ruffhead wrote above sixty numbers of a paper called "The Contest," in favor of his administration, and yet he had never the curiosity to enquire the name of the author, or ever so much as saw him. He never likewise read any debates of the House of Commons, though his own speeches made so considerable a part in them, till the year one thousand seven hundred & sixty seven, when he bought them, as he said to amuse himself in a fit of the gout.
'Twas lord Chatham that appointed general Wolfe to the command of Quebec, though contrary to the wishes of the minister at war, and even to the appointment of the king. "I know," says he, "that man will do his business properly, without sheltering himself under forms or trifling expediences; he is young and vigorous too, and will not be subject to personal attentions as older officers." Lord Chatham's general maxim upon this and similar occasions was, that ministers should look out men for offices, not offices for men.
Two of the leading features of lord Chatham's character were promptness and decision. When minister, he wanted a
great number of transports to be got ready directly for service, which lord Anson, the first lord of the admiralty, said was impossible, "Come, come," says lord Chatham, "I'll shew you the possibility of it directly: There's a large fleet of colliers just arrived; throw the coals into the Thames, and put the soldiers on board directly—the service of the government must not stand still for a paltry expence."
At another time he received some dispatches which required a speedy answer whilst he was racked with the gout. The moment he read them, forgetting his pain, he sprung out of bed, and called for pen, ink and paper. "My dear," says lady Chatham, "you'll kill yourself by these means." "And suppose I do, what is my life in comparison to the millions which may be lost through my neglect."
In a case of sudden emergency, lord Chatham wanted to consult the commander in chief and first lord of the admiralty, (lord Ligonier and lord Anson) and being informed by the messenger that neither of them were at home, he ordered him to go, alternately, to a certain well known Bag-nio, and to White's Coffee-house; and "Do you hear," says he to the messenger, "take no excuses, but bring the first way in his night-cap, and the other with the cards in his hands."
He once promised to shew some foreign noblemen a remarkable piece of water-work which he was forming at a country-house of his, by a certain day. Capability Browne was his projector on the occasion, who told him it could not be done at that time even if one hundred men, worked day and night. "Why then," says his lordship, "put two hundred men, and let them work by torch light." The business was effected.
Henry, lord Holland, the rival and political antagonist of Mr. Pitt for many years and who, from long habits of rough-paced business, it was difficult to compose, used frequently to feel the force of Mr. Pitt's disposition. One day the former coming from the house so vexed and fatigued he could not eat his dinner, lady Holland asked him what was the matter? When, without answering the question, he replied, from the fullness of his suffering, "As for his talking, tho' that is often pointed and severe, I don't much mind that; but 'tis his eye—that d—d eye so scowls at me, that he considerably gives me a pain in my back."
Mr. Pitt's acquaintance with the present lord Camden arose through the recommendation of lord Northingham. Mr. Pitt, when secretary of state, spoke to lord N. to get him a young man of sound knowledge in the law, whose practice was not very extensive, and he would make his occasional attendance at the office worth his while; "for (says he) I want a person of legal knowledge about me, that we should at least act constitutionally." Lord N. recommended Mr. Pratt, and the congeniality of their minds afterwards produced a friendship which brought Mr. Pratt to the honors he so justly enjoys and which still continues with unabated affection in the two families.
Lord Chatham being asked his opinion of Cromwell at lord Rockingham's table, he gave the following short, but forcible character of him:
"He was a saint-like thief, who, under the cloak of liberty, committed a burglary on the constitution, murdered his royal master to get possession of his diadem, and stole from the public their title to freedom."
THE FARMER.
ADVICE TO PLANTERS.
The inspectors of tobacco in the town of Petersburg, most earnestly solicit the attention of the cultivators of tobacco to the following particulars:
1st. We advise that the tobacco be put up in dry order, with the dirt entirely brushed off, and the ground leaves carefully taken out.
2dly. We advise the people to avoid the abominable practice of mixing good and bad, long and short, tobacco together.
3dly. That the tobacco be carefully separated; that the short and most indifferent be separated and prized straight and loose; the cakes must be well seasoned, and the size not to exceed thirty four inches in the raising head, and fifty four inches the full length of the staves.
By attending to the above, the planters will find themselves much benefited; the inspection will be relieved from the disagreeable necessity of refusing such quantities of tobacco; and the character of the Petersburg inspections will be retrieved.
The above advice we think reasonable, and what no candid mind can object to, and if not attended to will most certainly be regretted, perhaps when too late.
[Petersburg paper.]

BALTIMORE, June 24. Arrived, brig Alliance, Cathel, 17 days from Lisbon, with 9th instant, a number of American seamen, brought in for adjudication, all of which have been before reported. The Alliance was permitted to return to Bal- timore, on giving security to the amount of the wages and odd dollars to produce proof of the discharge of vessel and cargo, the last of which was discharged and sold at auction for little more than half its value. Eighteen of the Alliance's seamen were impressed by an officer from the Driver of war, and their protections treated with much scorn. June 40, long. 69, spoke ship America, from Liverpool, to New York; 14th, spoke ship Hancock, of Baltimore from Lon- don for Philadelphia.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25. Mr. Borland, a gentleman passenger in the schooner, from London, bound to New York, put himself on board a fishing Schooner, was landed at Cape Cod, and arrived at Boston on Tuesday last. He brought papers only to the 8th May, and is late by two days as the London dates, re- ceived at New York, by the ship Ardent from Greenock. The editor of the Boston Centinel has given a copy of the intelligence received by Mr. Borland. In this, we find no articles but what were published heretofore, excepting the follow- ing: At London a very general alarm prevailed. The British fleet was stated to be at sea. All the volunteer Myriads were again hurrying to their arms; and the greatest efforts were making to equip every ship of force, in ordinary. Some very important dispatches were said to have been received from the North of Europe, on the 7th May; which were immediately be- fore a full Cabinet Council, and the Admiralty Board; and messengers were ordered to hold themselves in readiness to start for the conti- nent. A very heavy press took place at all the ports, previous to the sailing of the Pomona."
FROM DUTCH PAPERS. Madrid, April 22. It is thought the operations against Gibraltar will not commence with vigour before the prepara- tions making at Algeziras are in complete readiness. A large flotilla is assembling there. Cadiz, March 29. It is said Lord Nelson's fleet has made its ap- pearance off Barcelona.
Trieste, April 4. On the 10th ult. the U. S. frigate Essex, capt. Barron, carrying 42 guns, and 340 men, arrived here from Malta.
Prague, April 10. Among the baggage of Marshal Brune, which has passed here from Constantinople, are 15 beau- tiful Arabian horses, and two uncommonly fine hunting dogs, destined for the Emperor Napo- leon.
Extracts from a Liverpool Price Current of the 11th of May, received by the Hibernia, ar- rived at New Castle, (Maine.) "Pearl Alhes, 1st sort 58 to 60s per cwt. Boston Port Alhes, 54 to 58s; New York do. 53 to 54s." The prices of Alhes being now so much higher than they have been of late years; the consumers make their purchases very sparingly; but so long as the market is barely supplied with them, the prices are not likely to experience any material decline.
Cotton dull; Upland Georgias about 19d per pound. Naval Stores plenty. Rice, duty paid for home consumption, 35 to 36s; landed 29 to 35s. Until very lately an idea was gene- rally entertained, that there would be very lit- tle rice received from the United States this year, and in consequence it commanded much higher prices than usual, but our market being now very abundantly supplied with it, the de- mand is at present almost suspended, and the price are likely to be lower. Annexed to the article of lumber, is the fol- lowing note. There having been but few importations of timber this year from the United States, the prices are advanced, and are likely to be supported, so long as the market is no bet- ter supplied.
Tobacco 3 and an half to 7d per lb. This market continues to be barely supplied with to- bacco, but as the demand is very limited, some of the descriptions may be bought at less prices than were lately current.
FROM HOLLAND. —By capt. McCully, from Amsterdam (says the Boston Cent'l.) we have received from our correspondent there, papers to the 1st May; the latest from that quarter.
The New Regime of Holland was go- ing peaceably into operation. The ques- tion, for declaring his excellency R. J. Schimmelpenninck, pensionary of the Ba- tarian Republic had been voted on, in all the departments. The whole number of years
was 14093.—Nays 136; but as those who did not vote, were considered to be in fa- vor of the new form of government; the numbers have been declared as follows: For the new form, 353,186 Against it, 136
Majority, 353,050 The Grand Pensionary assumed his functions the 29th April. The Batavian Legislative Assembly was dissolved; and their high mightinesses, as the new assem- bly are to be styled, were to be installed the 15th May.
Before the Jacobins rose to be our mas- ters, they not unfrequently endeavored to soothe our apprehensions by assuring us that the national government in its frame and in its essential policy and measures, would be preserved, all the difference would be that other men would fill the pub- lic stations. These assurances no doubt, helped to quiet the Federalists and to lengthen the nap that their indolence has ever been so unwilling to disturb, for the Jacobins have quaffed their zeal from the distil house, while we drink of Lethe.... Their partisans however had far other and more solid expectations than such as amuse- d and palsied our minds. They were told that the government of the United States is too near the hated model of the British monarchy to be endured, and must be altered; and that we were in the high road to a tyranny and must not only stop short but face about and march the other way. An aristocratic Senate must be brought down to the democratic floor; this is already announced for the next session of Congress. The Judiciary is too inde- pendent of the people, and therefore must be made always to fear, and sometimes to feel what Mr. Randolph can do to annoy the judges, for Mr. Randolph is the peo- ple. The taxes reached the whiskey men; and taxes and law and government are odi- ous shackles which they fled beyond seas and beyond our mountains to escape or throw off.
In all this, we see a real an effective ful- filment of the promises made to their party and a disappointment of all they made to us; and when we look forward to that aw- ful futurity whose black vapours are ga- thering heavy with tempest in our sky, we see that the past is only the earnest & fore- taste of what is to come. We see that de- mocracy, wild and merciless as that tem- pest, is to loosen our old established liber- ty from its fixture in the ground and to whirl its fragments into the air before we can enjoy the long calm of despotism which invariably succeeds it. In this state of things, the man who has much hope for the public liberty must be the artificer of his own consolation. He can shut his eyes or go down into the cellar as children do when it lightens, and say what is there to be afraid of.
If in these circumstances the Federalists remain tranquil and bear whatsoever is imposed, as they do, surely the designing Jacobins ought to bear with them if they do not without wincing believe all that is taught; if they do not expect that as soon as power has passed from Washington to Jefferson, from the patriotism and wisdom of the nation to its vice and ambition, we are out of danger from demagogues at rest from the scoffers of faction: if we do not calculate upon escaping the fate of all o- ther Republics who have suffered first one faction to usurp their government, and then a rival faction to contend in arms with the usurpers for the mastery, till law and order have perished never to revive again, till the will of the conqueror became the only law and his sword its interpreter.
In all this, Messrs. Jacobins, we may err, you will say; but still if we believe it all, we are as little troublesome to you from our efforts and our fears as the most arrogant of masters could desire from the most abject of slaves; and if you can shew that we err, that we mistake or magnify our perils, may whiskey give you clo- quence to do it; for as we cannot mend our condition, there would be comfort in the delusive hope that it will mend itself. (Boston Repertory.)
Two countrymen, a few days since, were discoursing at a public house in Yar- mouth, about the recent affair of the Tenth Report: "What could lord Mel- ville do with all this money?" asked one of them. "Do with it," retorted the other, "Why he used to buy Stock with it to be sure." "Aye, aye" replied his companion, with a significant wink, "I always thought there was some fellow be- hind the curtain, with a long purse, who bought up all the stock; and it is for this very reason, John, that the hogs and poul- try are so cursedly dear." (London paper.)
BATAVIA. The following description appears in a letter from a young officer to his friend, dated Batavia, Dec. 10, 1804: "It is not only of this quarter, but of ev- ery part of the East Indies that people of Europe form a very strange idea. You seem to think that here we find our money ready coined in the mountains, and that we trample upon pearls like sand under our feet, while alas! here as well as in Europe, one must, gain one's wealth by the sweat of one's brow. India is not at present what it was for the first adventurers; and tho' some Philosophers maintain that the moral world grows worse and worse, it is only to the commercial world that this principle is truly applicable. With respect to the state of the military in this part, I can assure you that a simple ensign would blush to be found in the streets on foot, though the hire of a carriage would devour one fourth of his day's pay. In fact to obtain respect officers in general lay aside the military costume, to appear in habits of silk, em- broidered with gold and silver. These ex- pences they are only able to bear through the courtesy of the inhabitants. A young man once invited, is soon introduced into the best houses in Batavia. I may say that I have fared sumptuously every day since I have been here, without any trouble ex- cept getting into the carriages, which have been sent to convey me to the scenes of hospitality."
"these considerations would have de- tained me in this city, but my anxiety to obtain the salubrious air of the country has out weighed them. That of the city is so unwholesome, that it is no strange thing very frequently, to hear that a person is dead and buried, with whom you have din- ed only three days before; even a glass of pure wine, taken when one is unwell, may occasion instant death, so that here, even when well, we are compelled to observe a regimen just as when we are sick in Europe ---for this purpose I must observe, that night is not less dangerous than day, as an exposure to the moon's rays is equally as fatal as those of the sun, from ten in the morning till three in the afternoon."
"In fact the heat is so intense, that e- ven a shirt is intolerable to sleep in. Our winter also is little better than four months constant rain, in the intervals of which, when the clouds are penetrated by the sun, the season becomes so unwholesome, that the population is, as it were, threatened with death."
"Still perhaps, there is not a city in Eu- rope, where the buildings are more magni- ficent and regular. The luxury of the fur- niture is nearly equal to that of the princes and sovereigns of the European continent, as gold and silver abound here in the houses of the most obscure individuals."
"The time and manner of our visits are so different from yours, that I must inform you of the particulars:
"We generally rise about day break, the day being pretty equal all the year round; it is mostly broad day light at six in the morning, so that by six, people hav- ing taken their coffee, and smoked their tobacco, are generally out upon their bu- siness; this is the best time to meet with every man of business, or even to obtain an audience of the governor general. At nine, as the heat begins to be intense, the streets are quite clear; dinner is soon o- ver after noon; after which, seldom tak- ing above two glasses of wine, and smok- ing a pipe of tobacco, every one retires to rest as regularly as if it were night. In this interval, which lasts till five in the af- ternoon, the most profound silence is ob- served! then again, tea, business, and vi- sits occupy attention till nine at night the common hour for supper."
"This city unites some of the whole human species; but the Chinese are most numerous. My hair dresser is one of this description; I do not understand a word he says; but his singular gestures are most amusing; he is the completest panto- mime I ever saw."
"Europeans make their fortunes here principally by their marriages with the na- tive females; but it is always on condition that they never remove out of the country. As companions, and for want of education and knowledge, they are most intolerable; besides, the husband must reconcile him- self with the continual chewing of root call- ed pinang; the red juice of which is per- petually streaming from the lips down the chin: This, however disgusting, they can no more dispense with than a European sailor could dispense with his tobacco. Their language is a mixture of the Malay and the Dutch, and their dress is as ridi- culous as their manners."
AGRICULTURE. Arthur Young, in his annals of agriculture, pronounces as the result of several actual experi- ments of his own making, that "inflammable air is evidently a manure applied to the soil in which plants grow; and that it cannot be doubt- ed but the roots absorb it as their proper nourish- ment." He adds, "I am happy in this decisi- on of a point which does not appear to me ever to have been proved before." These remarks are in the first volume of his works on agriculture printed at London, in the year 1784.
From the premises which have been mentioned he argues as follows: "It phlogiston in a vo- latile state be the food of plants, the farmer has a lesson of infinite importance to him; to acquire and cherish as much as possible the effects of putrefaction, and consequently to manage his dung hills, and other receptacles of manure, in such a manner as to prevent the escape of the vo- latile principle, generated by their putrefaction. In this view, the practice of frequently turning dung over, which is reckoned by some writers to be very excellent, will perhaps be found, after one stirring, uniformly pernicious, and tending only to let loose and dissipate in the atmosphere, the essence which would most contribute to the fer- tility of the fields. Without a certain degree of putrefaction, the phlogiston will not be vola- tile, continued too long it will all fly off."
Mr. Young further remarks, "I with much to have made some progress in determining the effects of sunshine on soils, but I have not been able yet to execute the trials I have projected, though some of them are at present in course. Those were decidedly against the soil imbibing any food from the action of that luminary, and the whole range of common husbandry seems to speak the same language."
Covering the soil with a thick smothering crop of clover, tares, peas, &c. is found to enrich it far more than a summer fallow. Old meadow land receives very little of the sun's rays, and some wood lands none; yet these are the richest soils all over the world, because the putrefaction of vegetable and animal matter impregnates them with volatile phlogiston."
The American farmers lose a large part (in all probability one half) of their barn manure by an injudicious management of it; while their til- lage fields, left bare after two or three crops, are impoverished by the scorching rays of the sum- mer's sun, which, in this country, is much more intense than in England. How trifling would be the expense of enriching these fields (if fit for plaster) by laying them down, once in three or four years, to clover. (Connecticut Courant.)
The public are hereby informed, that Mr. O'Kelly has again visited this neighborhood, and that he is to preach in the new meeting- house on Fairfax street, next Saturday, at ear- ly candle-light, and on Sunday forenoon, at 11 o'clock. As a crowded house may be expected, the female part of the congregation had better attend pretty early.
