Inn stale of moisture your potatoes will re

will find them become more cool nnd much

Dear Sir,—In compliance with my prom

which I have been governed for many years m
putting up mv potatoes. I have been very
•acresiful in following them, and I hope they
may prove beneficial to others. Toe first
thing to bo considered ii tho collar, and I
would recommend—
1st. The rails nr puncheons to he split in
July, or the first of August, and stocked up
for drying.
2d. The cellar to stand East and West
with the door in the centre and perpendicular,
to face the tun the most part of the day.
3d. To be made on as dry and high a spot
and convenient for draining as posviblo, and
made at least five weeks before wanted,
Alb. To be double hanked, bv making a
•coarse frame to support the same. The earth
to be taken four feet from the fool of the rel
lar around, about three feet wide, eighteen or
twenty inche* deep; in this ditch, never li t
any water remain, but keep it perfectly dry.
fith.To be supported inside hy short crutch-
ea, standing three feet high with poles, or rails
laid lengthways in those crutches. By thus
■upporting your cellar, it will last you two
yeara with safety, by airing it. When your
cellar ia finished, email ftroa to ho made at
each end, that it may be perfectly dry and
clear of damp.
6Ut. The cellar to be perfectly tight with

lesrn that the blockade by Miguel’s troops,
now amounting in Hie whole to about 92000.
is rontinoed ; but no attuek has been once
illempied on the forces of Don Pedro in tin*
i-ity. From all accounts it appears llist the
usurper's army is any thing rather than well
disciplined and powerful, while on the other
hand tile Constitutionalists, though hut 14,000
in all, are n formidable urinv. In no part of
Portugal does there appenr to have yet oerur-
red any rising in favor of the cause of Donna
Maria, and we are npprehensive that the lime
is not vet arrived; the Portuguese have nut
yet suffered a sufficiently galling oppression,
to induce them to niaka n struggle for their
freedom. However much this may be regret

be remedied, for it is impossible to mako a

Address of the Executive Committee to llie
Temperance Societies in the Stale of -Yew-
York.
Thnl season of the year having now arrived
when it is proper to commence active opera
tions for the still farther advance of tho tem
perance cause, the Executive Committee of
tlie State Society dpom it proper to throw out u
few hints to their various auxiliaries in this
State, not in the spirit nf dictation, but with a
desire to secure, ns far ns practicable, unity
of purpose and unity of effort.
While it is meet and desirable, that dll
should arise, and arise immediately to action,
it is absolutely necessary to success, tlint this
action should bo properly directed ; for unless
it is, much labor will not only he lost, hut
much good prevented. And ns a means of
giving the direction required, it is necessary
in Iho view of (lie Committee.
1. Thnt every society, nnd every member,
should have their minds properly imbued with
a sense of Ihe magnitude and importance of the
work they have undertaken.
For want of this, many societies, nnd many
individuals, either entirely neutralize their ex
ertions, or else their efforts nro feeble, desul
tory, and soon relaxed, and the work lan
guishes. Let every one feel in rcgnrd to this
reform, as Iho fullers nod youth of'76 fell in v
regard in American independence—that the ] collect these, will requiro some consider-
grant law of self-preservation then, requires
lhat we redouble our diligence to remove so
great an evil from our land.
4. The Committee wish lhat every society,
and that every member, would endeavor to ap
preciate Ihe plans of llie State Society, and
make an effort to carry them into effect, so far
ns practicable und expedient.
We (eel a delicacy in speaking upon this
one point, yet u regard to the interests of our
country and of the world, impels us to over
come this feeling nnd to speak freely. The
plans of Ihe Comilten may he, nnd probably
are, in some instances, not the best that could
have been devised ; and they may not he sui
ted precisely to the circumstacesof every place.
And the Committee wish, that whenever the
friends of tiie cause discover these or any
other defects, they will npply thn necessary
remedy nnd the proper modification. Yet
when these plans nro not liable to any objec
tion, except tbo labor necessary to carry
them into execution, llie Committee trust the
effort will bo perscvcringly and successfully
made.
And there is ono plan, so perfectly feasible,
and promising so much utility, that the Com
mittee make no apology for again pressing it
upon the attention of their f iends. IVe mean
the plan of school district associations. Many
towns, und even ono whole country, have car
ried this system into full operaton, nnd tho
united testimony of nil such is, that its benefits
are greater (linn the most sanguine hud dared
to hope.
Last season it wns our object to scatter in
formation. Wc then sowed the seed. This
season we can, if we will, reap Ihe harvest
Every country society ought immediately to
call upon their town auxiliaries to arise to ibis
work, and afford them the necessary aid; nnd
town societies should not wait for tile county
society, but “ arise and work.” With pro
per effort, the first day of tho year 1833 can
announce to the world, that the State of Now-
York lias a temperance society in every school
district, which, like so many rivulets of mercy, 1
slmll carry the benefits of temperance to eve
ry family and to every individual; nnd then
uniting, form one mighty stream, who.su wn-
lors shall go out into nil the world, to cheer
and bless tho human family. Fellow-citi
zens: wo ask you to arise to tl,is work with
out delay. Lot but the feeling spring up in
your hearts, that it can be done, and it will lie
accomplished.
5. Let every society, and evorv member of
every sneioly, feel llie importance of full and
correct statistical reports.
It would bn desirable that every socioty
should, ibis coining season, present un accu
rate return of tbo number of its members ; of
tho diminished consumption of ardent spirit :
nnd in general of every fact which will be of
service to tbo enuso. and aid the Stale Society
in preparing on ample nniiuul report. And
lot it he foniemhered that a simple detail nf
facts—statistical facts—is nil thnt is desired
n third, that it Rowed to the South West and
emptied into the Atlantic, on tho West; a
fourth, that it directed its course to the South
and was lost nnd nbsorbed in the deserts of
Central Africa, unlike all other rivers, never
reaching the ocean. Navigators on the coast
of Africa, met with no river which at its mouth,
corresponded to the magnificent size nsrri-
lied to the Niger m tho interior. The Lan
ders have at last solved the problem, which,
from these circumstances, had assumed a ro
mantic interest. The Niger rising near the
great de-ert of Sahara, in Northern Africa,
flows East, South, and South West, receiving
several great rivers in its progress, and emp
ties through an unknown number of channels
into the Gulf ol Guinea. Of these, Ihe prin
cipal is ihe JV'uu long visited by Europeans in
tho slave trade, and on tho hanks of which
arc situated tho Ebosc, a tribe of negroes,
from which those of Virginia aro principally
decended. Tho numerous mouths of the Ni
ger, believed to he so many independent ri
vers, had assisted in delaying the discovery.
The Niger after it receives the Tshadda,
nnd oven before, is tho most magnificient ri-
ver in the Old World: in hreadih from 2 to
7 miles, clear nnd deep, and flowing through
n country certainly the most fertile in tho
world. Lander saw numerous nations who
had never before seen a white man, and his
accounts of these simple paoplc aro not only
profoundly interesting to tho observer of hu
man nature, hut proves the native negro cbrac-
tcr to be the most amiable in the world.
Southern Convention—Mitchell King, Eiq.
one of tho delegates appointed by the Con
vention of the Union Party of this State, re
cently held nt Columbia, to attend the Legis
lature nf Tenncsee, bus addressed a com
munication to that body, enclosing the Ad
dress nnd Resolutions adopted by the Con
vention, and requesting the Tenneseo Legis
lature to take tho subject of Southern Con
vention into consideration, nnd recommend
to their constituents n concurrence in the
measure- Mr. King seems to bo zealously
engaged in the prosecution of the object with
which lie has been charged; and hns embo
died in his communication several judicious
remarks on the dangerous character and ten
dency of Nullification, and on Iho propriety
of consulting tho congregated wisdom of the
South, to devise some safe and constitutional
plan, of at once traoqullizing the fearful ex
citement that now exists on the subject of the
Tariff, and preserving (he rights of Ihe States.
The Senate ofTennessee, on receiving this
communication, adopted and transmitted to the
House of Representatives for concurrence,
a resolution, providing for the appointment of
a joint committee of both houses, to tuko into
consideration tho several resolutions submitted
to the General Assembly on the subjects of
State Rights the Tariff, Internal Improvements
nnd Nullification, together with tho address
of Mr. King, and to report thereon at the
present session. The letter of Mr King will
bo fuund in our columns.— Charleston Courier.
salvation of oor country depends upon tbo fl blo labor, but the benefits to be derived will
issue. In ’76 freedom nr slavery was the
question: in'32 roiit, nnd degradation nnd
shame, or virtue, and pcaeo and prosperity,
are suspended upon tho result.
2. Let every society, and every member
of every society, feel, lhat even now is the crisis
of our file in regard to intemperance.
'u all human probability, the labors nf tho
bn an ample remuneration. And let every
society boar in mind, tliai it is of itself a par'
of a whole—ono link in llie chain—nnd if il
is not found in its place, there is n deficiency
—tho chain is brokon. Last year many
links woro wanting, and some loo of great im
portance.
G Let evorv sociotv lie seasonable in all
corning season, if properly directed, will turn I Us operations, especially in sending in its re
the scale. Nothing Is more certain, than that port.
one moro vigorous effort, similar to the one
made last full, will plaro lira majority of (he
people of this Slate on the side of reform;
For want of nUontion to this all-important
consideration, much perplexity has liertoforc
been caused. Tho Committee will give no

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1832.
nnd when that point is unco gained Iho work U'™ "f ‘ho time when they wish the reports
will he comparatively easy, and the ndvnnco sent in ; and when that notice is given, they
rapid. A stone rolls much more easily down
than op n hill; audio sail with the current,
is less arduous tlmo to su'l against it.
3. Let every socictv, ami every member ofj
every socictv, remark, and keep steadily in
view, the favorable circumstances under which
the labors of llie season commence.
Anoilier year of experiment has pussed,
nnd passed with success. Former theories
have been confirmed—firmer facts more per
fectly substantiated, und new facts disclosed ;
a greater amount of talent and influence has
been enlisted ; the prejudices of thousands
have been removed, and light lias been currio
into every department of society. And there
is another thing : the cholera in its ravages
lias not only furnished evidence in confirma
tion of former theories, but it has developed
a variety of new fuels, from which the most
unanswerable arguments may bo drawn.
Now, unless men dose their eyes, they may
sue, that the use of urdent spirit is not only
uiiiincessary for persons in health, but that it
absolutely invites disease, and prepares the
human body fir its ravages. Most truly has
the cholera been called the apostle of temper
ance.
And there is ono other consideration—this
lias been a year nf groat mortality among
drunkards and spirit drinkers. Montreal,
and Quebec, and Albany, and New.York, nnd
Philadelphia, nnd Baltimore, can all hear
testimony to this fact. And now those (hat
remain are within the resell of humanity, and
with the death ol their fellows so recently bp-
fore their minds, arguments and facts, if pres
sed homo with zeal and kindness, may save
even thorn from the drunkard's grave.
And there is yet ono other remark—the
cholera manifests such an affinity for tho sys-
luipo to receive them without delay. Finally
7. Lot every society, and every member
of every society, fix upon the lii.’.lirst point as
the one at which he aims to arrive, nnd press
onward unceasingly in llie race of reform
Our object—is to dry up every fountain of
intemperance—to wipe away every tear caused
by this vice—to render comparatively unneces
sary, alms-houses, and hospitals, nnd jails,
and penitentiaries, and state prisons—to drive
vieo, nnd the misery consequent upon vico,
from our land—to perpetuute ami hnnd down
In those who shall romo nftcr ns, the bles
