ON THE CULTIVATION OF THE V
No. IV.
ON MAKING WINE.
Having, in the preceding numbers, given
'be necessary directions lorcul ivutingtht
' ,n f» 1 shall now proceed to the mode ol
making \\ ine. I wdl not trouble the re a
der by going into the whole science ot fer
mentation, as it isgiveu by various authors
' bo, I am satisfied, know very little about
it by practice Most of those I have read,
ssert (hat fermentation proceeds languid-
lv» Rt a lower temperature than 54 deg of
Farenheit’s tliermomefer, aud direct tha
i: should be carried on between 56 deg and
66 deg : someof them very gravely adding
(h it at 70 deg. the acetous fermentation
commences. From my own observa'ions,
I am convinced that nd fermentation what
ever will take place at a lower t*-m »era
ture than 54 deg. (wlii* b cannot in fact be
procured inourcoun'ry « xcept in winter )
and that it will be languid if 56deg; an
so far from it being true that tin; acetous
fermentation takes place at 70 deg that
always succeeded in in .Ring *ht best wine
when the thermometer stood at upward*
Tho l cit wine l < v« n
was when tlte Ihcrmeateter sto >d at b*
tween bO and 100 deg. The ebulilion wa
so gre.it w hen it was put into the cask, tha*
I was indeed to try the temperature ofth*
mint with a tbermomeh r. whic h, to ni> as
tonish'.rietd, rose to 115 deg. I immediate
ly racked the the wine into another cask
well fumigated with a sulphur match, and
added a few pounds cf sugar to it, and
bunged it up tight. 1 then, with n small
gimblet, bored a hole near tin: bung, inf.
which I put a wooden peg, not so ti^htbut
that S'.me air might escape to keep the cask
from bursting la about two months after
wards, on examining it, I found tho fi r
mentation hail been complete, and that Un-
wine was perfectly fine and brigh*. It was
a very fine wine, without any unpalafabl*
sweetness. Every person that ta-ted it
pronounced it excellent; and the best pro i
which can he given that it had not under
gone the acetous fermentation, is, that it
was all sold in a very short time, tIfe demand
being mm h greater than l could supply.
Where the must is weak, and has not got
enough of the sweet principle, or sugar i
t, the acetous fermen ation will begin a*
any degree of heat, from 56 deg. and up
wards ; and th*» must will g r adua!ly run
into vinegar, generally, without ever be
coining vinous Hut it the grape contains
enough ot sugar tft produce must of the spe
' •fir gravity, of from 1120 to 1 MO (wafei
being 1000) whatever may be tin* heat of
(lie weather, the acrtntis fermentation will
not commence until all the sugar Ins been
dec* mp >sed and turned into alcohol.
If the wine is carefully racked off, at>
loon as the decomposition is c unpleted, in
to a clean, sound cask, properly turn.gated
with a surphur match, it will be in no dan
grr of turning to vinegar. Hut if u *,h »uld
not be perfectly fine and bright when it is
decanted or racked, it should be fined with
infmglassjgum-arabick, the whitesof eggs,
cr milk, and as soon as it is perfectly fi u
and bright, which it will be m a f *w days,
it must then be racked off again info a
clean cask, prepared in the same manner,
with n sulphur match. 'Then, I believe, if
wi'l be incorruptible ; and if properl bot
tled, would keep for an age, or perhaps f r
ages. Hut, it must be understood tha' the
fermentatio i should he completed, and that
the wine should heperfec'ly freed from lees
or mucilage ; for so long as any of these
remain, there is a danger that th- wine, un
less it be very strong, will renew the fer
mentation,and become acid, which it wi'l
not do, even if it be weak, if no lees or
mucilage remain.
Our grapes are generally deficient in the
Saccharine principle, especially whenjthe
vines are young ; Gut I have no doubt tfiat
they will acquire it by cultivation, and ns
the vines grow older. My grapes, in 1823,
required twelve ounces to tho gallon of
must to give it u proper HWeetnuas—in 1825,
the same grape required only about four
and a half ounces : and 1 have a strong
hope, that in a year ur two more, no sugar
will be necessary, except in very wet sea
sons.
In the wine countries of Europe, they
correct the habitual or occasional defects
of their grapes, by various inodes: which
they affect to make a profound mystery.
Sometimes Plaster of Paris to added to cor
rect tlie acid, and to absorb a portion of the
aqueous parts ; sometimes part of the must
is boiled down, and they are also in the hab
it of adding sugar, honey, dtc. to remedy
the want of the sweet principle in their
grapes. But these methods are generally
denied, by the wine dealers, and makers
and, indeed, by most foreigners and in all
countries except {Spain and Portugal they
deny adding brandy to tlieii Stines. Late
I'rtiscli writers admit that sometimes sugar
is added to the must in making wines in
Franco, und with a decided advantage
But they do not furnish any specific rule
hy which \\u are to regulate the quantity
which is to be added, to,give the wine a
proper body. Our country is indebted to the
experiments of my friend and correspon
d« ut, Thomas McCall, Esq. (who has i
Miiall vineyard on the Oconee in Georgia.)
for first suggesting a mode in which the
strength *<l wine can be ascertained, aud re
guiated by that oflhe must toa proper spec
iti- giavity, (say from 1100 to 1140, water
being 1000, according to t/in strength re
quitcd ) m tins maimer the maker of wine
will be abb* to know with certainty, the pre
eise quantity ol sugar which is requisite to
old to the must the is about to ferment. As
ifie qualities of the grapes \ ary in different
seasons, this suggestion is h gh y impor
tant; and although u similar us* 1 has been
made of the sarhurometei in other fermen
unions, Mr McCall is J buiert, the Jirsl
who applied it to the art of making wine
The authors whom I have consulted, givt
wnU general directions to add sugar, honey
Ac so as to give the must the taste of that
which proceeds fiom a great vintage,
i“ hnilaiKirl of the must down to one-half
one-third, or one fourth, lent mg the deg
ol sweetness or eonsistince to which the
muvt is to ho reduced, subject to a vugu*
ami iiiici rtuin discretion.
I lie method used bv .Mr McCall relieve
Bus important ptocess from uncertainty
Thu*.', it lain not mistaken in attributin'
its origin to him the lirat step towards es
tahlisiiing fixed ami certain princ iples in tho
art of making wine, has been taken hy an
American : and while the art in our country
is yl in its infancy. This gives an earnest
of future improvement ; und onto
iln: belief that America will in a few years
mu only rival, but excel Europe in the gen
oral quality of its wines.

Tlie Board of Managers of tlio Amrri
can Colonization Society, have the satif-
laction to stale, that dispatches have bt
received from the Colony at Liberia, be
ing date 23d January, Id26. The commu
nications from Mr. Aslimun, tfin indefati
gable and intelligent agent then*, are copi
ous in detailing the condition of the Colo
ny, in all tho relations which it sustains
It appears that there is a degree of prosper
ity m the present, and security as to the
future state uf that establishment, w hich,
with all their expectations, tlie friends of
African Colonization, could scarcely hav
been loti to hope Through the ai credited
medium, the Alt iean Repositoiy, the com
inunications will be published nt large;
but, in tlie moan time, the following brief
statement is submitted :
In all tlie internal concerns, and foreign
relations of the Colony, there is every evi
dence of growing prosperity, strength, and
security. The health of tlie Colonists, that
first and great consideration, is as good as
that of any community Since June, 182?
to f lie date ot the despatches, there have or
furred five deaths, three adults and two
children. The scorbutic ulcers which
cited some apprehensions, have almost en
tirely disappeared, occasioning hut on
death. They occur as other diseases in tli
progress of acclimation during tho first
w ar, and exempt the subjects ol them from
other and mure futal sickness. Those who
are aff*->:ted with pulmonary weakness and
i heumalisni, arc entirely freed from fh
infirmities. After acclimation, the colored
emigrants acquire a perfect vigor «*( consti
tution, accommodation to tho African di-
mat* , ami ability to support every hardship
which ordinary Tf** or contingencies ninv
impose. Many of tho whites have fallen
ictitns; to this number is added Mr. S* «-
i"in. who died on his return to America.
While the black population, oven under tho
privations and sufferings peculiarly inciden
tal to the sickness on arrival, are found to
bear tho change with safety--whatever the
danger may have been, the increasing com
forts which emigrants meet on their arrival,
I tend to reduce it to one of a little mo-
icnt.
i ne Colonists are under the influence of a
il*l, bi.t enei n. t.e G.ivernment—one which
a terror to evil floors, and a piotecfioii to
the good As tlie settlement has inrre.iuecf

Washington, April “Fl, J826.
Mr Mnrtindnle, from the Committee of
Claims, to whiert w as referred the Bill from
tli*; Senate, entitled an a* f f»r the r* li* I
of Francis Larche, of New Orleans, mude
tho folluyvuig
REPORT:
Hit Committee on Cltiims, to ichotn irns
reft rrrd the petition of Francis Larche,
with a IliUjrotn the Senate for his relief,
report ;
That this is a claim for the value of a
tlact belonging to the petitioner impressed
into tho Mery ice of the United Stales by
General Jackson in the defence of New (Jr-
leans, and alledged to have been killed hy
by a cannon shot, while in that service.
Without stopping to deny nr admit any of
the facts by which the petitioner supports
his claim, the Committee recommend its
rejection upon principle. The mm rgem v
justified the impressment of every m »ral
Mg»-nt capable of contributing to the defence
of the place : to rail upon the master to de
fend liimsclfand slave, as well as the .-lave
to defend Ins master. It would b.:tli«* height
ofirijustice to call upontho five citizens of
.States many hundred miles distant from tho
pine*; assailed, to pour out their blood, and
sacrifice their lives for its defence, and at the
same tune to exonerate from that ssivire
its own physical and moral f ree .—Men
were wanted, and in that capacity the Slave
was put in requisition. Thu muster ton,
might have been culled upon, and Ins sons,
and hi* lured servants, as they were in oth* r
parts of the country , and wiiur** sons, anJ
fathers, and husbands, fought and died, with
out having their lives valued or compensa
ted in tuoiie).

The lato treu y with England if any thing
