FLORIDA SUGAR.

Very serious and, we believe, very successful
efforts are making in Florida, towards the cul-
ovation of Sugar, both in East and Middle
Florida.-Mr. Kingsley, on the ST. Mary's, has
completely succeeded in making sugar from
cane produced on his plantation. The commo-
dity has been pronounced by the most oompe>
tent judges, 10 be equal to any foreign sugar
The East Florida Herald saws that it would
not be matter Of surprise if Florida sugar and
Florida land should be greatly preferred by tie
consumer and the cultivaior. Colonel Dummot
has been equally succt ssful, and like hattering
q cunts are expected from Mr.. MIntosh and
Colonel Humphreys.

January 10Th, ls28:-Inforrnalion ha. lust

small fry, ] wish some person would notify
t.ese political magicians, thai speedy measures
should be taken 10 harmonic this favourng
conflict 10 allaY the jealousy Of The members Of
! the committee, 10 pour balm into the wound,
which pride OF opinion has occasioned, and to
bring the gentlemen into that sweet commune
on, which they once so happily enjoyed. If this
is not done, and that speedily, no one can tell,
or will e, en- dare anticipate, what effect this
broi may have on the Generals prospects in
Ohio, which are truly gloomy. And who SO ca
pabe to DO this as our thermometers in New
York? When they have rsconcied all former
animosities which existed between The heads
and tails, and scattered fragments of parties
what may not be expected from their skill!
Who knows but The time is approaching, if i,
has not already arrived, when by their magic
powers, at least in politics, "the Lion shall lie
down with the Lamb, and the Leopard with the
Kid"
1t is said the convention appointed a COM
mittee OF three gentlemen, 10 pen an address,
and that each one, conscious Of his eminence e,
and anticipated the appointment, and came TO
the meeting fully prepared. When the com.
mittee organized, the addresses were produced
and read over, the hor ofeach pertinac ious-
ly adhered TO the superior excellency Of his own
composition. On this point, each took his |
stand, determined not 10 yieId-each one had |
reiterated the charge Of bargain and sale, and |
OF fraud and corruption, between Mr.. Adams |
and Mr.. Clay. Finding they could not agree
on any one address entire, they concluded, af-
ter much time spent in vain discussion, to take
a part from each, and the work Of cutting and
patching commenced, and was prosecuted un.

work Of mutilaion was suspended, TO read tina,

clear and conclusive, that no understanding
did exist either between MIR. Adams and Mr.:
Clay or their friends; thai they feared 10 en-
coun .er the Indignation Of the people, by reiter.
sting the foul charge, and very prudently left
il out.
The committee succeeded much better in
patching up their address, than in healing the
divisions among themselves On the arrival Of
MIR. Clay's pamphlet, the friends of the admin
stration held meeting, and it was publicly
'ead 10 large audience, after which five thou.
