made unanimously in the convention with the
exception of ono dissentient vote, and the party
who gave that vote afterwards cordially ap-
proved the choice Of the convention. The CON

This work, though small, contains much yalu-
able information relative to the growth and cul-
ture Of the various endogenous plants OF tropi-
sal America. Few persons, and even few
travellers are aware of the number and variety
Of these plants, AMI Of the manifold uses to
which they are applied for the qualification of
human wants. The pine apple, plantain and palm
afford not only articles OF food, oil and cXhilarat
ing drinks, but their delicate tissues are formed
into many fabrics and enter into the composition
of the strongest cables, In those regions, too
the cotton tree is a perennial, and blooms three
or four times year, the yield each time being
greater than can be annually extracted, in Ala
bama, by the unwilling labor of slaves. We'll
