RURAL ECONOMY.
An essayist who signs himself Araton
in the Farmers Magazine, very zealous
ly defends the practice of pickling teed
wheat, to prevent crops from being
smutted. “ One fact with a practical
agriculturist, says, he, has more weightjda, as reaches to the Perdido—for
than a hundred reasons.” Speaking of!cliis river is. the Eastern boundarv

The Editor ol this paper is indu
ced by two considerations to decline
the re-publication of “ A Citizen of
Baldwin” : 1st. Because the essav
under that signature has already
been circulated through another me
dium ; and 2dlv. He is of opinion
that the acrimonious style of that
production is well calculated to pro
duce thf'se personal asperities which
it has ever been his wish to cxclud
from his paper.
In 1807, Mr. Nicholson of Mary
land, from the committee on that
subject, made a most ingenious re
port to Congress on the benefits of a
purchase of the Floridas. Two mil
lions of dollars were appropriated to
that effect. Mr. Monroe repaired
to Madrid, as our agent—but, he
failed in the purchase. The particu
lars of that negoeiation have not yet
been laid before the world—but it is
said, that the Prince of Peace started
some objections, because he himself
had claim to a million of acres, which
our minister did not think himself
authorised to buy.

It seems that Major Clark was qua
lified as Solicitor on the 23d oi De
cember 1807, and the action vs. Ben
son was brought to May term 1809.
Although these facts may b» true,
the conclusion drawn from them is
false. It does not necessarily follow,
that an Attorney becomes employed
only from the date of the process ;
and if Dennis L. Ryan will take the
same trouble, of examining into this
case, as he is in the habit of doing in
to every thing that concerns Major
Clark, lie will find that it was first
commenced to Hancock Court, and
on account of the residence of Ben
son, afterwards brought anew to
Baldwin. Whether Major Clark
was employed before he was appoint

to be one of these arbiters: and the bufi-

kss or more lmutted ; and though the
old tenant, llrictiy lpeaking was not liable
on that account, it was judged proper to
txatnine the fields, and afeertain the extent
of the damage. This the arbiters did in
tiie only way in which it could be ascer
tained. They employed a careful perfon
ride with safety, and that of St. Jo

carefully maiked. The refult was that up
on no field the number of smutted heads,
was lefs than ten in the hundred ; upon
tome of them 40 and 50 ; and in one not
fewer than 70. Taking an average of the
whole, the lofs exceeded one third of the
crop, laying no ftrefs upon the injury done
by thelmut to the grain that was other-

In the first .place, when the lofs from

not the British as oppressive, as rapa

Spain suffer more under an emperor
of France, than Ireland has done ina
ny centuries under the kings of Eng
land ? Are the outrages of the
French soldiery in Spain, more atro
cious than hangings, burnings, tor
tures, robberies, ravages and rape
of the British soldiery in Ireland ?
Must not a solution of our question
be found in a blind devotion to Eng
land ? Because it is her interest that
Spain should he independent ol
France, federalists wish her success
•because it is her interest for Ire
land to be kept in a state of abject
enslavement federalists rejoice in her
depression—republicans desire the
independence of every nation—and
if they have viewed with indifference
the contest in Spain, it is because it
seemed probable that if the Spaniards
succeeded in repelling the embraces
of the French, they would throw
themselves into the arms of the Brit
ish—and even should they become
independent of both, they do not ap
pear to contemplate any ameliorati
on of their debased condition, but to
prefer submitting again to their old
tyrants, and hugging their ancient
chains. It seems, indeed, a mere
struggle for a choice of masters, whe
ther the country shall be under the
control of the British or French,
whether it shall be governed by a
Bourbon or a Bonaparte, Ferdinand
the seventh, or Joseph the first. Had
the Spaniards renounced the despo
tism under which they have groaned
for ages, asserted their rights as men
as well as their independence as a na
tion, and declared for a free and rati
onal government, there is not a re
publican in America who would not
have devoutly prayed for their suc
cess. Can federalists say as much
with regard to Ireland ? If they can
not, there must be some lurking par
tiality or prejudice in their hearts
which they ought to expel or subdue.
Unreasonable attachment to one na
tion, and unjust antipathy to another,
are equally improper and dangerous,
and ought alike to be discarded and
discountenanced
