their rights, their persons, and their propery whilst the

have taken ascertain the quantities raised in each
State The high ofbreadstus last year. and the very
low prices of tobacco owing both to the general inferior
quality ard the large quantity produced, induced the
planters of Maryland raise less tobacco than usual the
present season and it is pretty well ascertained that
the produce this year will exceed half average crop;
the proportion of good quality will be much larger than
last year, and will probably be larger than in ordinary
years. because the planters having less to manage, have
in their drying houses, and can give it more
Indeed, If proper attention is paid to handling and
asserting tobacco before it is packed the and
labor will be well paid for in the enhanced value of
