CULTIVATION or SILK. Considerable
attention is now paid to the cultivation of
silk. A number within our knowledge
have engaged successfully in the business.
Their success will be productive Of much
benefit 1t will excite the attention of 9th
ers to this employment. The following
facts are worthy of attention. Four acres
of land planted with the mulberry near
Boston, have supplied food for as many
worms as made 420 lbs. Of silk, worth 49,
30 per pound or 1,450 dollars all OF which
were attended to by four girls, and only
for short period in the year. This en-
plovment is we'll calculated for those, who
are advanced, and also for those families in
which there are many young children,
neither of which would he very profitable
iii any other way 1t is said, that the best
method of cultivating the mulberry is to
SOW it broad cast, then the leaves may be
moved off and raked together for use,
without much trouble. The leaves are
also more tender, than those, which grow
on trees, a sufficient number of these how
ever must be reared to furnish annual sup
plies of punishable (.N H. Gaz.

IscRrAsr or CRrnE notwithstanding the
multiplicity Of associations designed to improve
the state of public morals, and the increase of
the ordinary means of religious and moral in
struciion, which has marked the age in which
we live, it is to be apprehended that acts of
fraud and violence are keeping even pace with
the growth of our population We hope they
are not exceeding the proportion of former
times, but the frequent occurrence of events
of this nature betraying on the part of their
perpetrators contempt for the good order Of
society, and the laws of heaven, admonish us
of the frailty of our nature, and the corruption
which exists in the best regulated government
The robbery committed by Snelson, the fraud
achievedby Redmond, the sanguinary personal
combats of Mr.. Vance, and another in South
Carolina, Of Graham and Barton in New Jer-
sey, and of Conway and Crittendon in Arkan-
sas, are events of recent occurrence To these
are to be added two duels in Mississippi. one
between Mr. Dangcrfield and Mr. Buckner in
which the former was killed and the other be-
tween a DR.. Newell and Gen Coffee, in which
the former was wounded What is most sur
prising is that several of the individuals con-
cerned in these atrocious proceedings appear
to have hitherto sustained fair character, and
enjoyed no small share Of the public confidence
Two Of the number have had seat in Con
gress-one was an officer in bank--another
general--another kept respectable Hotel in
New York--another was Secretary of Arkan-

week, that the friends Of Mr.. Clay would vete
for Mr.. Adams, in preference TO Gen. Jackson.
Their intention was no secret. 1t was the
knowledge of it that induced the friends Of
Jackson to make the effort, through their tool
Kremer, to deter Mr.. Clay from his purpose.
Ifthe proposition was not made on the day Of
the election, it is manifest from its terms, that
il could not have been mace at all, as otherwise
more than Gan hour" would have been required
10 consummate the bargain.
"But that no such proposition was ever made
is evident frum another consideration. The
votes of Mr.. Clay and his friends could not
have made Gen. Jackson the President. Mr..
Adams had, without Mr.. Clay's influence, the
votes Of nine States; Mr.. Crawford had four
making thirteen, majority of the whole num-
Der. The united strength then Of Mr.. Clay and
the General could have been no more than ele-
cen States. But suppose Mr.. Clay and his
friends to have commanded the votes of states,
as has been sometimes asserted, still there would
have been one wanting to elect the General
And it was notorious here, that the states which
voted for Mr.. Crawford would ultimately have
voted for Mr.. Adams if the contest had been
protracted before the House.
"Again, if such proposition had been made,
is il credible that General Jackson would have
congratulated Mr.. Adams in the marked man.
ner that he did on his electiou5 II was also
well known that no man in the United States
thought more favorably of MIR. Adams than
Gen. Jackson did; and that Ne preferred his e.
lection to that of any other candidate, himself
Of course excepted. And no doubt this senti-
ment would have remained in full force, were
it not now convenient to threw an imputation
upon the purity of Mr.. Adams for the sake Of
elevating Gen Jackson.
"But there is still another light in which this
letter may be viewed. lfGeneral Jackson really
did make this statement to the "highly respec-
table Virginian," who wrote the letter, it shows
that Cincinnatus has not retired to his plough
with all his ambitious aspirations and passions
subdued, but that while he tells "before all his
company" Of the victories he has won, and of
the many suferings he has undergone for the
good Of his country, he can condescend to ca
iumniale his rivals, and throw imputations up
on the mos, distinguished Of his fellow-citizens,
for the sake Of creating warmer sympathy in
his favor. Yours, SC. Sc

OWENISM.
The New-Harmony Gazette of the 2S,h ult
contains long article purporting 10 explain
the causes of the late difficulties-the plain
truth Of which is nothing more than the entire
impossibilty of sustaining such system, while
the naturnl defects and passions of man remain
not eradicated. The writer considers the estab-
lishment Of the community premature and i'll
advised.-it did not pay its expenses-the d.
versity Of opinion among the members render
ed it necessary to rejec, many forms Of govern
ment, and they have at length tried new sys-
tenn. The Gazette says, "NewHarmouy is not
now a community; sut as was originally intend
ed, central village, out Of, and around which,
communities have formed, and may continue 10
form themselves, and with the inhabitants Of
which these communities may exchange their
products, thus obtaining those manufactured
articles, which the limited operations incidental
to an incipient colony do not enable them TO
produce themselves
This plan will Of course soon be found incom-
plete, and with these various changes, the vi
sionary emigrants, and their more visionary
leader, will be harassed, until the whole is re-
nounced, and they conclude TO wait with the
rest Of the world, for the advent of the millenni
