When the ratoon is ploughed up, it is !
thought to be of great benefit to plant j
peas among ihe corn, which is consider-1
ed to lie good manure, l'ive acres of
cane is considered to be a good average
to each hand ; some, however, differ on
this head; some sav more and some less;
five acres, in my opinion, is a good ave
rage on a large plantation. An acre of
Creole cane, say planted cane cut from
the first year’s planting, will plant (Voni
four to five acres; that from the. ratoon
or second years planting, on account of
its being shorter, w ill only plant from 2
to 2.J acres. Ribbon vane, or OUiieite
cane, will plant from 7 to 10 acres—it
is thought however, by oi;ie planters,
that from 5 to 0 is a good average—in
deed, on this’ point much depends on
the length of the cane. Ribbon cane,
on acount of its being so hard, is not so
much in repute as the creole cane
steam power is requisite to roll it to d
vantage. It is thought that ribbon cane
will flourish best on new land, and per
haps, in the sreneral course of five years,
w ill pay the planter better than any oth
er cane—There is however, a difference
of opinion on this bead—one tiling is
certain, that the ribbon cane will stand
the cold better than any other cane, and
will mature from two or'three weeks
earlier than either the Creole or Ota
lieiie cane.
It is a mistaken idea; that sugar can
not be made to advantage with a small
force. Mr. John Canon, living on Bva
£?e!ia. in the Parish of St. Mary’s, in At
akapas, has made with three hands this
season, 3d lihds. of sugar, which will
average 1200 ihs. each, nnd which he
c : i sell at his plantation at C.j cents per
pound, which will afnouut to S^-571 —
besides 1,820 gallons of molasses, at It!
cents, which will amount to 5237 CO
cents. This however, is an uncommon
ly good crop; but on all plantations in
that part of Louisiana, 1200 lbs. ofsu
iar to the acre may be considered a
general average for five years.
The expenses attending themachine
ry depends entirely on the size of ihe
plantation and the views of the planter.
From 10 to 20 hands, the necessary ma
chinery would cost about 51-00 : from
10 to 50 hands, S 400—on a pretty good
scale. As the sugar crop is laid bv the
first of June, a great deal of ‘he work
can be done before he rolling season
commences. ‘

We loarn from the Darkn Pl,mix,
“that the Governor has transferred the
whole of the Darien Rank bills from the
Treasury ot the Stale to the Central
Rank oi Georgia, with dii ection to throw
them into circulation.” We had been
apprised, that the Darien bills would
be discounted by the Central Dank, to
those only who were indebted to lire Da
rien Dank, and that the money should
be used far such payments only. In
tire mean lime, we have been informed,
that theCentrai Dank lues been, or would
be, enjoined preceding lu such a nian
uer t on the ground of a virtual viola
tion thereby of the existing contract be
tween the £*tute and Darien Rank;
which set forth, that $75,000 of the
bills should be redeemed semi-annually
—a contract that has been honorably
and punctually complied with. IVc think
the Darien Rank would have had it in
their power to have called in much inoie
ot their debts by the proposed airange
m.etif, and v. iucu would have been a de
sirable consideration; still they now en
joy a benefit of near $20,000 per arm.
by the inactive lands in the Treasury.
The question of acquiescence or objec
tion, is with the mother Jiank. at Dari
en : whatever it does will sbon be
known, and so soon as it is, in all pro
bability the Darien Rank will resume a
more active business than it has done
for several years. But we timely ap
prise expectants, that they must’ not cal
culate on this institution supplying their
wants, on the terms and mode of busi
ness, which formerly governed it: the
experience of the past, forbids it, while
an ey e to the future prosperity of the In
stitution requires a greater vigilance to
insure promptitude and increase its a
liiliiv; We hope, however, that its poli
cy viill not require r \actions, cither of
oppression or unposvbility.
We inadvertantly omitted So mention
last week that anew paper has been
commenced in Darien, by Mr. A- C.
Mclntyre, called the Darien Phoenix.
The* Darien Gazette, published by
Mr. Grandison, is discontinued. V. e
have not learned whether he intends,
(according to his proposals) to publish
his Journal of the Wanderer, or with

This Journal Iras been looked for with

We omitted last week to give the cir
cular of Gov. Forsyth, in reply < ‘*h.
Gilmer, from want of room in our col
umns. As we have copied the one, wt
cannot, in justice, entirely omit the oili
er. The following extracts will "•
that the Governor had, at least a sunt*
Clout authority, both on the side of law,
and the adherence usually paid to the
law refeired to. to justify him in his
proceedings. Krver.il cocmntnts as
w ill he seen bv the references are annex

“ A punted circular signed George 11.
Gilmer is passing through the Simeon
subject r.l the Executive Proclamation
ordering an election for a member of
Congress in October riexl -**
O
wil.nef • defence of ini own ctmducttiie i
Executiv** of Georgia has nothing to do,)
but Mr. O. hns thought proper to mix j
up w it ii fl.at defence a crimination of the
Thief Magistrate. Even with this I
would not t ouiile my sell but for the ap
prehension liiat I should he considered,
il silent, as admitting the accuracy of
the statements in the circular. The
fust allegation injurious lo the Jlxecu
tive is that the provisions of the election
law enforced against Mr. G. have been
so universally considered mere formali
ties and without compulsory obligation
as to have escaped Mr. G’s recollection.
How far, the opinion expressed, thhtthe
provision enforced is a mere formality
without compulsory obligation, is enter
tained, 1 have no means of judging; it
never wif mine. The subjoined letter
(marked No. 1.) written to the
of Georgia bn my election to Congress
in 1822 w ill show the opinion then en
tertained on this point; it has undergone
no change since. Mr. G. states that he
has notified the Governor of bis accept
ance ; this is inaccurate; a paper is on
file in the Executive Department, dated
December 81, IS2B w hich formally no
tifies the Executive of Mr. G’s intention
to accept—Lut no afcceptance has been
received.
“An election by the people does not
make a Representative; the w ill of the
person elected is to be consulted ; with
out he accepts Ire is net the Represen
tative, and lie has it in liis power to re
fuse or to lake the place bestowed upon
him. The law of this State requires
that liis will shall be made, known wiiti
m a limited time. Mr. (J. states that lie
understands that the opinion and prac
tice oi’ foin.er governors of Georgia co
incides with the opinions of the persons
consulted by him in Washington who
believe the provisions Os the act are at
variance with the constitution, and of
course Void. What are the opinions of
former governors 1 neither know nor
have I enquired—the records ot the De
partment shew that including Mr. G.
himself, the member* elected have, ex
cept during one administration, render
ed any decision by former governors un
necessary. General Clark did receive,
during bis administration, acceptances
after tiie lime limited hv tho act had ex
pired. liis practice, at and Iris only, sus
tains Mr. Gilmer’s dortfine. Even the
General required an acceptance befor 1 *
a certificate or commission under the
great seal was given.
“The lust allegation I think it ne
cessary to notice, is that the election
taw is rigidly adhered to when it vacates
Mr. G's seat in Congress, and disre
garded when it operates upon others.—
The proof of this is that the election law
require that the names of the several
candidates be kept on separate papers;
the number and names ol the voters
shall be sealed up. together with an ac
curate statement of the poll, uader the
hands of the presiding magistrates and
transmitted by express to the governor.
“ Although I have deemed it necessary
to show what the former practice, has
been, it must not he considered that any
reliance is placed upon them to justify
my own course. In all cases where the
law of the State is explicit and clear 1
make no inquiries about the opinions or
practice of former administrations. In
cases of doubt the usages in times past
are resorted to. fortbfepurpo.se ofeniight
ening mv own judgment, and submitted
to, if rfeconfeilaole to tho existing law.—
in the case of Mr. Gilmer, I made tio
doubt; the facts now presented from the
files of the Department are tlifc fruit of
recent investigation. Having Hilly ex
pressed my private opinions of the act ol
17H‘J it is proper that I should state that
in the execution of that act i do not con
sider the Executive responsible in any
degree tor the constitutionality, wisdom i
or convenience of any of its provisions : i
(or these the General Assembly Os 1730 J
and their successors who have left in it
force are accountable —th: Executive is
responsible for the faithful execution of
the law as it is. The executive l‘io
clamation is founded on simple facts,
admitted to have occurred and Was un
der the law, as constated, the inevitable
consequence of those (acts-—lt was not
issued uniter a conviction that any dis
respect to the laws or to tiie < filters ol
the State was intended—the omission
was supposed to have been the result of
accident or target it'll ness which would be
satisfactorily explained prior to the dis
tant day purposely fixed upon lor the
new election—Mr. G. il Wds believed
would be the candidate, fnob.Tbly with
out any, certainly without formidable
opposition. He has an undentbted right
to iclv upon liis ov n construction of die
Slate law—to question the validity of
any cr of all its provisions and to insist
upon taking his seat in Congress con
trary to its provisions as understood by
the Executive. The question presented
is w ithin the jurisdiction of the House of
Representatives anil nothing which is
provided by the statute or done by the
Executive unpaired, it Mr. G. is light,

Grami turnout among Females. —The
females at Dover, Factory a levy days
> since, were thrown into a state of actual
rebellion by the publication nf some
1 wholesome and almost indispensable
| rules by w hich they were tube governed :
and as an expression of their disappro
bation paraded through the street, made
a great noise and burned several casks
of gun powder. The piocesswm, says the
Dover Inquirer, reached neatly half a
i mile, ami was accompanied v. iih martial
music and the roar of artillery. Ail
however would not do; the agent of the
factory adhered and tii*y returned wil
lingly to work. Remarking upon this,
the Editor of the National Gazette very
aptly observes, that ihe late strike and
grand public march of tin female Oper
atives in New HanipshUe exhibit the
Yankee *ex in anew and unexpected
light. By and by, the (;i)7Piior may
have to call out the mdjtia to prevent a
gvaccuracy.
[The above i* a specimen of conduct
to be anticipated from females where
tliev are congregated in great numbers
in extensive manufactories. It is but
an embryo of the Manchester Riots of
England ; and oHy needs time, the ac
cumulation of individuals, and tbe na
tural progress of depravity which al
wavs follow in the train, to exhibit
scenes of vice, riot, and Crimes of every
de-rne and description. Already is
slm.-n the female character robbed ofits
delicacy—the seqnd need not be foro-
told. Tl.c-e mamfVictories may rctiWr
our country more indej*ndent of other
nations, but at an expense of character,
intelligence, and virtue hhtch cannot be
estimated.]
We annex a lew extracts from the
Report made by Mr. Johnson, ol Ken
tucky, of the Committee, to whom was
referred the several petitions for the
suppression of the conveyance and open- 1
ing of the mails on the Sabbath. We
think, (although we may dill'er from
many) that it has taken a proper and
reasonable v ie.w of the subject—that the
remedy proposed for the violation of the
Sabbath, wo Id be the creation of a ten
fold evil—besides tbe great delay to the
mails and inconvenience to travellers.
The Report says :
We are aware, that a variety of sen
timents exist among the good citizens ol
this nation, on the subject of the Sab
bath day ; and our government is de
sigi ed for the protection of one, as much
as lor another. The Jews, who, in this
country are as free as Christians, and
entitled to the same protection from the
laws, derive their obligation to keep the
Sabbath day from the fourth command
ment of their decalogue, and in confor
mity w ith that injuctiou, pay religious I
homage to the seventh day of the week,
which we call Saturday. Oncdenomi- j
nation of Christians among us, justly i
celebrated for their piety, mid certainly
as good citizens as any other class, agree 1
with the Jews iu the moral obligation o(
the Sabbath, and observe the same day.
There are also many Christians among
us, who derive not their obligation to ob
serve tiie Sabbath from the decalogues,
but regard the Jew ish Sabbath as abro
gated. From tiie example of the Apos
tles of Christ, they have chosen the first
day of die week, instead of that day set
apart in the decaiogue, for their religi
ous devotions. These have generally
regarded the observance of the day as a
devotional exercise, and would not more i
readly enforce it upon others, than they |
would enfoi te secret prayer or devout
mediations. Urging the fact, that nei-|
thei their Lord nor his? disciples, though 1
often Censured by their accusers for a j
violation of the Sabbath, ever enjoined!
its observance, they regard it as a sub
ject oil which every peison should be 1
tullv persuaded in ins own mind, and
not coerce others to act upon his persua- ,
sion. Many Chiisfians again (lifter from j
these, professing to derive their obiiga- j
lion to observe the Sabbath from the |
louilh commandment of Hie Jewish de
calouge, and bring the example of the
Apostles, Who aj ■ ear to have held tjieir i
public meetings lor worship (/t the (list j
day of the week, as auijioiity for so tar |
changing the deealague, as ui substitute ‘
that day for the seventh. The Jewish!
government was a theocracy, v.liieh en- ;
torced religious observances ; ami tho’j
the committee would hope that no por- j
tion of” the citizens of our country could ‘
w illingly introduce a system ol rel gious
coercion in our civil institutions the ex-;
ample of other nations should admonish
us to watch carefully agumst its earliest
indicrf.cn.
With these dirteren: religious’ v'.ew, [
the committee are of opinion that Gen- j
gi'cus cannot interfere. Jis not the ic- j
Ultimate province ot the legislature to j
determine what religion is hue. m what
false. Our government is a civil, and J
not a religious institution. Our (ion- ]
stitut'.on recognizes in every person, tiie
right to choose lus own religion, and to j
enjoy it freely, without n.Testation. — :
\\ haiever may be the n iisf as senti
ments of citizens, a fid htiwever v, rent, 1
they are alike entitled to protection i
fiou'i government, ho long as they do
not invade the rights of others.
Tlie various departments of gov eminent
require, frequently in peace, alwtivs iu
war, the'Speediest inte reofiiss with tin*
remotest parts of the country , and oue
important object of the mad establish
ment is, to furnish the gu'-atesi and in? st
economical faciliticstbi such intei -ourse.
The delay of the mails oue w hole day
in seven, would re pure i lie employment
of special expresses, at great expense,
and sometimes with grtat uireeitaioD.
The commercial, manufacturing, and
agricultural interests of our country are
so intimately connected, as to require a
constant and the most expeditious eoi
respondcnce betwixt all our sea-ports,
and betwixt them and the most interior
settlements. The delay of the mails du
ring the Sunday, would give pci-asibn to
the employment of private expresses, to
such amount, that probably ten riders
would be employed where One mail stage
is now n ruling on that day; thus diver
ting the revenue of that department in
to a state of pusillanimity in channel,
and sinking the establishment incom
patible with the dignity of the govern
ment of which it is a department.
J’assenger* in the mail stages, if (he
mails art*, not permitted to proceed on
Sunday, w ill be expected to spend that
dav at a tavern upon the road, gene
rails- under circumstances not friendly
to devotion, -and at an expense which
many are but poorly able to encounter.
To obviate tiiese difficulties, many will
employ extra carriages for their convey
ance, and bacfiine the bearers of cor
respondence. as more expeditious than
the mail. The stage p-oprietors will
themselves often furnish the travellers
with those means of conveyance ; so that
the effect will ultimately be only to stop
the mail, while the vehicle which con
veys it will continue, and its passengers
become the special messengers for
conveying a considerable proportion of
what would otherwise constitute the con
tents of the mail.
Nor dan the committee discover where
the system could consistently end. Jf the
observance of a holy day becomes incor
porated in our institutions, shall we not
(brbid the movement of aft army; pro
hibit an assault in time of war; and lay
an injunctiffn upon our naval officers to
lie in the wind while upon the ocean on
that day? Consistency would seem to
require it. Nor is it certain that we should
stop herfe. If the principle i once es
tablished, that religion, or religious ob
servances, shall be interwoven with our
legislative acts, we must pursue it to its
ultimatum. YVe shall, if consistent,
provide for the erection of edifices fin
the worship of the Creator, snd fur the
support of Christian ministers, if we
believe such measure* will promote the
interests of Christianity. It is the set
tled conviction of’he committee, that
tiie only method of avoiding these con
sequences, with fJjeir pendant train of
evils, is to adhere stHctly to H r spirit of
the Constitution, w hicli i r rards the gen
eral government in no other light liian
that of a civil institution, wholly des
titute of religious authority.
What ether nations call religious tole
ration, we call religious rights. They
are not exercised in virtue of go'ern
inenta? indulgence, but as rights of which
government cannot deprive any portion
of citizens, however small. Despotic
power may invade those rights, but jus
tice still confirms them. Let the na
tional legislature once perforin an act
which involves i be decision of a religious
controversy, and it will have passed its
legitimate bounds. The precedent will
then he established, and tiie foundation
laid for that usurpation of the Divine
prerogative in this country, which lias
been t(*e desolating scourge to the fair
est portions of the old world. Our
Constitution recognizes uo other
power than that of persuasion, for
enforcing religious observances. Let
the piofessors of Christianity recom
mend iheir religion hv deeds of benevo
lence—by Christian meekness—by lives
of temperance and holiness. Let them
combine their efforts to instruct the igno
rant —to relieve the widow and the or
phan—to promulgate to the world the
vospel of their Saviour, recommending
its precepts hy their habitual example;
government will find iis legitimate ob
ject in protecting (hem. It cannot op-;
pose, and they will need its aid. Their
moral influence Will then do infinitely
more to advance the true interests ofie
ligion, than any measures which they
may call on Congiess to enact. ,
The petitioners do not complain of
any infringement upon their* ow n rights.
They enjoy all that ChristianS ought to
ask at the hand of any government—
protection from al! molestation in the
exercise of their religious sentiments.
Resolved, That the Committee be
discharged from the further consideia
tion ol the subject.

The Banks. —We are a good deal sur
prised, and upon the whole gratified,
that the late, legislature adjourned w ith
out maturing any one of the various
schemes agitated relative to the banks.
In diet uoiliing has been done. The 1.0-
gislafiifefe has tkpught prefer to let tin
present Institutons wind up their affairs in
peace, if disposed to do so. or to pursue
measures for retrieving their character.
We are glad of it, because it will afford
time for reflection; and enable the next
Legislature act upon the real stale of
things, w hereas any legislation upon tiie
the subject at tbe late session, would
have been affected by the course
which the State and Newbcrfi Banks
may, during the present year, deter
mine to pursue. Should they determinb
upon winding up, the next legislature
will then feel safe in chartering anew in
stitution, to meet the wants ofthe com
munity. But there will be no necessity
for this, should the State and New hern
Banks follow the example of the Gape
