rabe number OF Vineyards, some OF large ex-
tent, have succeeded SO well as to yield hand
some profit Tor the wine made. They are
likewise reared by the German emigrants.
OF the Hungarian wines, it is the peculiar
property, they can be easily kept without bran
dy, for any length Of time, with steady i'm
provcment of quality for this purpose, they
are put into casks, previously cleaned in most |
careful manner, which are deposited in cool !
cellar or vault. They are fit for use the Sc
cond year, but are generally improved by being |
kept Tor two or three years longer
We are promised with full statement OF
the situation OF these interesting establish
ments, which shall be communicated to the
public the moment it is received.
The Importance ofthis information will fully
speak for itself. If this inestmable plant can
be so successfully reared in this country, as to
yield plentiful supply of good wine for our
consumption, the advantages will be incalcula-
BILE. The instance of France, indisputably the
best vine country in the world. proves how in
timately conn> cted the sobriety oil Our common
people is with the general command of this
pleasant beverage at reasonable price; and
we must admit, however reluctantly, that the
greatest desideratum among us is an effcctual
substitute for and an.idote to the prodigal con-
sumption Of whiskey, which is at this moment
more actively employed in the Decentralization
of our citizens, than, perhaps, all the other
causes OF the corruption Of manners. The ex
perience of other nations has shewn that the
juice OF the grape, when cheap, is infinitely
preferred to any other liquor
1t is no mean additional consideration that
the general cultivation Of the grape will extend
our field ofagricultural employment, by adding

portion OF land, now either abandoned to total
neglect, or used to very little proht
Nor should the beauty with which this spe-
cies OF cultivation adorns a country be consi-
dered altogether unimpo' tant, as it necessarily
tends to make us more conferred with, if not
proud of our country, and really, in variety
ofways, increases that species of enjoyment
which Is certainly among the most innocent
and vlrtuous known to the human heat.
lfto all these motives be s,lperadded the i'm
mense saving that will accrue from making our
own wine instead OF Importing it, and the pc.
ltcal benefit of rendering ourselves as ndepen-
dent OF the foreign world as possible, it will be
generally acknowledged that this object i,
scarcely Inferior in importance to any which
can be named. Already with population oil
seven millions, and with on frugal habits, we
consume foreign wines ard brandies to the a.
mount oil five millions Of dollars. In SO years
we Shall have reached population Of at least
3oOoo.00o, when our demand for this bcvc
rage will cost US more than twenty millions OF
dollars. Aat. Iuiek
Federalism, like Achilles of old, seems
to have but one vulnerable part; and thar is
the Part of England. This is the solitary
fibre by which YOU can reach the grand fe-
deral sensorium.
Abuse the President Of the U. Statss as
much as you please; insult every officer of
government, civil and military, from J. @.
Adams and Armstrong to the lowest civil
oiEscer, and from gen. Wilkinson to Cor
poral in the army, and you will not hear a
lisp OF dspleasure from the leaders of wha,
is called federalism. But dare to venture a
