THE WATERFALL.
BY THE REV. DR. BAFFLES.
From (he Winter's Wreath fur 1832.
1 J.OM tbe roaring waterfall,
Within some Jeep romantic glair,
’Mid desert wilds, remote from nil
The gay ami buiyhauuts of men;
For It* loud thunder found* to tuu
Like Voice* from eternity.
They tell of ages long gone by,
And being* that have paired away,
Whoaought, perhaps with curious eye,
These rock* where now I low to'stray;
And tbui, it* thunder soundsto mo
Like voices from eternity.
And, from tbe pastthev *eem to cull
. My spirits to the realm* beyond
Tha nun thnt tnuit soon befall
Theie scenes where grandeur si:» enth -ond;
And tbu* it* thunder* sound to me
Like voice* in eternity.
For I am on a torrent borne,
That whirl* me rapidlyjaway,
From morn to.eve,—From eve to mom,—
From month to month,—from day to days
And all that live and breathe with me
Are hurrying to eternity. .
This mighty cataract’* thundering sound,
In louder thunders soon must uie;
And nil these rugged mountaius round,
Uprooted, must in ruin lie:
But that dead hour will prove to me
The datvuiug of eternity!
Eternity!—that vast unknown!
Who can thatdeep abyss explore!
Which swallows up the ages gone,
And roll* its billows evermore!
O, may I find that boundless sea,
A bright, a blest eternity!

PLANTS OF MEXICO.
Extract of a letter from Henry Perrine Esq. Uni'
led Sutes’ Consul, for Campeche, to the Sec.
rotary of the Trea»ury, dated
New York, 8Ih Nov. 1831.
“Stn—The Treasury Circular of the 6th of
September, 1927, relative to the introduction of
useful exotics late the United States, addressed
to a portion of the American Consuls, directed
4b* inquiries of the subscriber, (United States’
Consul far Campeche,) particularly to tbe log
wood treo Which abound* in tb* Peninsula of
Yucatan. Belonging to tb* natural family Silli-
*toa, the genua Agave appeared to him of tran
scendent importance. In hi* communicatin*> of

intelligence acquired 4n<v» hie arrival in this city
na the 19th August Iasi. The utility of those
plants has been noticed in a1»oet every work on

portant gift of tbe Agave genus to Mexico. Ac
cording to the specie* the fibre varies in quality
from the coarsest hemp to the finest fl*x, and
may be employed as a superior substitute for
both. From it the Mexicans fabricate their thread
and cordage, mats and bagging, shoes and cloth
ing, webs, equivalent to cambric and canvass,
the hammocks in which they are born, and the
paper on which they painted their histories, and
with which they adorned and adored their gods.
The value of all the Agaves is enhanced by their
hnfiflerence to soil, climate and leason; by the
simplicity of their cultivation; and by the facili
ty of extracting and preparing their products
It is not, therefore, surprising that tne ancient
Mexicans used some part or preparation of these
plants in their civil, military and religious cere
monies; at marriages aud deaths; nor that they
perpetuated an allusion to their properties iu the
name of their capital.
“Humboldt, Poinsett, Warden, and other fo
reigner;. teem to consider the fine fibres, called
Pita, a product of the same plant that produces
the Pulque. Rut the Maguey, from which the'
drink is obtained, is si totally different species,
and furnishes fibres of the coarsest texture. The
Pita plant, like the Cocoa, grow* best in the
shade; and its leaves' are long, narrow and slen
der—the. fibres of one of which accompany this
commonication! From this species, is probably
fabricated in China that beautiful, glossy, fine and
strong stuff, known here by the name of grass
cloth. The Sisal Hemp of commerce is obtain
ed from two varieties of another species of the
Agave, which have long been cultivated in the
vicinity of Merida. To this species the subscriber
refers the Manilla Hemp—although be has not
hitherto been able to obtain any. satisfactory ac
count of tho plant which produces it from oar
scientific or mercantile ruon, nor from, books,—
Capt. John White, of tha Navy Yard at Charles
ton, states hit impression, that it is obtained from
the bark of a species of Palm tree, but its texture
dees not confirm the infercaco above expressed
by the subscriber.
“Doctor Hernandez describe* nineteen spocioe
of Agave, a* indigenous to Mexico, which vary
more in the character of their interior substance
than ia the color and Form of their leaves; and a-
diode these, tii« precise variety which predaces
the Manilla Hemp will probably be (baud. Some
spocies arc prized lor the beauty of their flowurs,
and some for the odor, and others for tbe flavor
af their fruit; but tho subscriber limits bis reeoui-
xftadstion to- Government of those which are

Cultivation of Quinoa, or Peruvian like. |
The only direction that we have obtained from
Peru for cultivating the quinoa, is, that it ie to be
town and managed like wheat. From our brief
experience, we find this eulirrly erroneous, and
by following it last summer we lost at least nine
teen-twentieths of our small supplyjof seed. We
sowed tbe seed in drills one foot apart, the teed
in the drills about as close as wheat, 011 common
•oil. The result was, tbe plants stood so close,
that few of thorn bore seed; while a few scatter
ing phuts, that grew singly, yielded abundantly;
and tbo richer the ground the greater the yield,—
so much so was this tbe cue, that one plant that
grew in a spent hotbed (a pile of rottenatable ma
nure with a few inches of soil on the top,) yielded
about two quarts of seed. We conclude from
tills that the quinoa should be planted one foot a-
part each way; the ground should be highly ma
nured with stable manure, aud it should be hoed
like euro to keep the weeds dowu in the forepart
oflhoseuon. It should be planted as early as
tbe seatou Will admit. Tbe frost iu ihe fall doss
not afi'ect it. Much of ours was standing during
the severe from of this mouth. The plant os the
•pent bottled particularly, was exposed to the Ve
ry sever* enow storm of Monday night last, 21st
December, and the leave* frexca a* hard as ice;
but no injury wa* don* to it. In cleaning out the
seed after tb* plants are ripe, we cut them up, tie
them in cenvenient bundle* and dry them perfect
ly. The seed is then easily rubbed out by the
band, and cleaned by winnowing. Some simple
awskiae wiU mm be invented to clean it. The
fuse vims* nb the top* between coarse woollen
sletiis. If tb* ground be highly manured, we
ihelftrve ffest ft will produce on* hundred sad fifty
bethels to the acre—-at least this is the pro
portion produced by **bm of ours. It has this
greet edvaatag* over every ether grain—you
cannot make the ground lee rich for it, and it will
yield in proportion to tb* quantity of manure ap
plied, or to therichnee* sf tb* eod. It will grow
on nay evil, where the common lembe quarter
(chenopadiun alie, its full bother) will grow—
From* rough calculation, w*judge that halfe
pound sf seed will be sufficient for an acre of
ground. W* must aot oseit to emutioa persons,
who make trial of thi* aew grain, against de
stroying it by mistake; for it resemble* so closely
the common weed called lamb* quarter in com*
places, (cktnopodium alba) that before the ***<1
begins t* form, they can scarcely be distinguish
ed from each other.
Quiooa ie used for all the purpose* of common
rice. We have tried it iu all the different form*
—in a baked puddiag we think it ferauperior to
rice. It doe* not resemble rice either in flavor
or appearance; and can only have received the
name of Peruvian rice from the fact of iu being
used in the same way. Iu flaver resembles that
of oatmeal more than any thing else. Tbe grain
is circular, flat, and about the sixe of a stnsdl ra
dish seed. There are two kinds, tho white and
to have been so left that one half is to be dispos
ed of at New Orleans, aud tbo other, half here;
and it i, affirmed that not more tlum tv# t.’tbrcu

estimated today at six million, but ibere can be
no certainty on this poitit.

We find, in tbe Pennsylvania Whig, tho sub

“Mr. Girard commenced with “small begin

then keeper of a small tap shop, where be retail
ed drams aud eegars; he successively rose to the
rank of the first merchant, and tbe most opulent
banker in the country. ‘Industry and frugality’
was his motto; business was with him a passion;
and like all who devote themselves with enthu
siasm to any pursuit, he was gifted with genius
for his profession.

An affectionate tri/c,—The following ancedoto
of some early Kentucky Squatters, is related ia a
Now York paper: ‘Oue meriting the shouts of a
femalo were heard—all ran to the spot. When
they arrived, thoy saw a boar aiid a man engaged
in a combat—and tbo man’s wife standing by and
halloaing ‘far play far play!! The company fan

Auction of Ladict.—An auction of unmarried'
ladies takes placo annually in Babylon. Iu ev
ery district they assemble,'on a certain day of
•very year, all the virgins of marriageable age.
The most beautiful aro first put up, aud the man
who bid* the largest sum of money gains posses
sion of her. Tho second in personal appearance
follows, and tho bidders gratify themselves with
handsome wives according to tho depth of their
purses. But there are in Babylon ladies for
which no money is offered, yet these also are dis
posed of, so provident are the Rabylouiaus
When all the beautiful virgins are sold, the Crier
orders the most deformed to stand up, and, after
be has openly demanded who will marry her
with a small sum, she is at length adjudged to
the man who is satisfied with the least, and in
this manner the money arising from tbe sale of
the handsome serves as a portion to those who
aro either of disagreeable looks, or that have any
other imperfection. This custom prevailed about
500 year* before Cbxist.
Mach speculation has been indulged relative to
the will of Mr. Giuard. Itis now understood
that the disposition of a portion of the great estate
hat been made known—-the report corresponds
nearly with tire following, from the Thiladclphia
Chronicle. ,.
“It is generally received, ax a certain fact, that
he has left two millions, with directions to apply
more, should this sum prove insufficient, forth*
establishment of a groat Public School, for this
city and county, to bo built on bis land, at tho
first turnpike gate oit the Ridge Road, forty-five
acres ia extent.
This institution is said to be endowed frith all
hie real estate iatfais district. The sum of three
hundred thousand doUare it bequeathed to the
State of Peansyivtuifor to- be' subscribed to tbo
Danville and PettsviU* KaihR'oad; whether or
not with a condition for the release of the col
lateral inheritance tax. we have not heard.—
These provision, are spoken of as certainly ex
iting ia the will; aatiffitaleo ascertained that
Mm affairs of the Beak •retwbe woundup, at ed the repented urgencies of much res ported
tion of tbe charter of the old hank of tbe United
States. 1811, Mr. Girard had instructed Dnriucs
to purchase for him $1,200,000 worth of its stock;
and with this be commenced banking under the
superintendence ofthe late George Simpson, the
Cashier of that institution, to whom ho confided
its transactions. This was in 1612, sinco which
his bauk capital ha* increased to five million*.
“Mr. Girard was in tho 81th year of his age,
according to his own account given to the fathor
of tho editor of this paper.
“Mr. Girard was a native of Bordeaux, in
France, where Ce has still living, we believe, a
brother and sister. He has three neices married
in tliis city, and several nephews likewise.
• “In the Yellow Fever in 17D3, Mr. Girard was
distinguished fur his active benevolence at tho
Rush Hill Hospital, iu administering to the sick,
and devising plans for the prevention and restric
tion of contagion.
“We understand the business of Mr. Girard
will suffer no interruption by his death; that his
Bank will continue its operations; ami bU build
ings on Marint-st. Square progress to au impos
ing, elegant and useful completion.
The habile of Mr. Girard were exclusively
those of the man of butiiies,. He had no plea-
sure, but in the performance of active duties; al
ways to befouad busy ia hi* compting room, or
hastiiag ea his farm, for he was suso fond of Ag-
riculture; feeding hie ewn cattle, curing hi* own
beef, and even bestowing hi* attention on the cul
ture of ft vegetable garden, tbe product of which
he caused to be taken to merket. Hie fruits end
hi* flower* were alto of tho most choice kind.
But ia hi* hands, for his was iho touch of Midas,
every thing w as turned into gold; and fruits, flow-
ere, vegetables, ships, house,, lots, Bank, and all,
contributed in tho end, to pour millions in hi* Up.
Like all men of immense wealth, it we* hit
peculiar delight, to east his eyes over the aggre-
, [Me of hie millions. But be took most pleasure
n adding house to house, lot to lot, u,iul he could
count bis squares of buildings, and found it impos
sible to count the number of hi* detde, psreh-
reepts and warrant*. T* the Schuylkill Nata
tion Company he was ea efficient friend in the
hour of need—p* well a* to tbs Chesapeake
Canal Company, and other public work* of feet

TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
From the beginning of the present monlb, I
have been confined to my room, and for tb* great
er part of that time t* nsy bed, by a bilious and
inflammatory, fever. I am still **, though my
fever has intermitted. My physician had deem
ed it neeeaekry to deny to me intercourse With
my friends, and to keep from me whatever might
produce excitement. This system is at length
relaxed, aud letters from Washington, which
were received today and yesterday, have aunoun-
ced to me the feet, that I have been, during my
confinement, the object of a foul andbitiugcuum-
ny. .
A certain degree of evidence has been obtained
for this calumny, by resorting to tbu despicable
artifice of giving extensive and early, circulation
to a mere extract from the speech delivered by me
at Milledgeville-raud by : tire suppression of that
partofil, which would entirely havo changed the
character of the.published extract. I have not
tbo physical ability/or a labored vindication, e-
ven if the 'occasion called for it; which I think iu
docs uot. I shall be brief; for my case is sittibly
stated. I may have erred in my cstimato of what
is just, liberal, and magnanimous in relation to a
political adversary—but I atn incapable of truck
ling to any nihn. “ ’• -
I prefaced the allusion to the dissolution of tho
cabinet, by the declaration, certainly not compli
mentary to tho President, that my retirement
from tho public service, was the result ofa course
dictated by uiy owi> sense of duly. In reference
to this event, I used ibis language—"a jusj sense
of self-respect—of what is due to tire cause of
public morals—to your most sacred rights—to
tbe sanctity of domestic life—aud to those house
hold affections .which constitute at once,- the
charm and safeguard bf society, will forbid me to
retrace a step winch I have taken—to altera
sentiment which I have avowed.”' : I stood be
fore thnt company by this declaration in the very
act of reasserting every .statement contained in
my two nddrostes to the public—re-oriablishing
their positions—reaffirming their sentiments—
and renewing the declaration of my determina
tion to yield nothing in relation to either. Now,
let any man ask himself, trhat are the itatcmcnit
made, the tentimente expruttd, the views exhibited
by these addresses concerning tho President of
the Uinted Stater. Let him remember that I had
just re-asserted them m their whole extent; and then
let him make oue further reflection. If it bad
been my object, to conciliate the President, whtl
could haV* tempted me thus deliberately to throw
in his face these offensive addressee which so far
from-propitiating, must necessarily have exaspera
ted him.
Having thus announced to my assembled fol
low citixeoe, that tb* relations which the events
of [he summer had .created between the Presi
dent and raysolf, were to remain unchanged;
having established, as I supposed, an intuper-
abiu barrier between us, I thought I had placed
myself ia a position to disclaim for myself, any
private complaints, or personal resentments, and
to announce nay determination to give continued
support to those measures of his administration,
in which I had heretofore concurred. 1 thought
1 edflld do this without the possibility of being
liable to tho imputation of having been influenc
ed by any unworthy motive.—In this I was de
ceived*—I was right, however, and I fearlessly
appeal to the public to review its decision. I am
free to confess that the conviction is deeply hu
miliating—that any portion ofthe American peo
ple, even though originally misled by the garblod
peblicstion of mv address, should have fallen into
each ea error. 1 do uot speak to the mere par
tisan; but to thee* who have honestly fallen into
fren mid uurcstraiued expression of my views and
feelings toward* the President, in relation to
whom 1 repeatedly declared I liad nothing to
conceal, and nothing to yield. There is more-
over something iu the force of truth itself which
will suxtaiu the declaration, 1 ain about to make;
that if there be a humiliation, from which more
than auy other, my judgmeut and my feelings
would revolt, it would he the attempt, hy any uct
of mine, to deprecate the resentmoiit or conciliate
tho favor of tbe President of the ’ United States
to mo as an individual. I will add, that I should
equally despise myself if my standing with the
people of Georgia, whatever it may be, had been
preserved by auy coueealnient of my views, or
suppression of my feelings, iu relation to that per-
sounge. , joHK M ,p HER80N BERRIEN.

JUDGE CRAWFORD’S LETTER.
This singular document has bceu placed in our
hands for publication; 'it confirms the truth of u
strong remark of General Clark’s, respecting our
opponent*. “Learned nro they hi acquiring of
fice; and trite iu retaining it.” This letter speaks
for itself, aud exhibits the melancholy picture of
a man—a Judge!—so lost to the dignity of lib
office, and to a sense of propriety—which lib sta
tion, iffio oihercotuideraiiun should hnve induc
ed him to regard—as to write electioneering cpb-
tlos to the members ofthe Legislature, villifying
his opponent, for having the presumptiod to op
pose him. Conscious that (10 has no intrhuic
merit tb sustain lib pretentious—being iu every
respect inferior to Mr. Suyre; ho ptaces his claim
—uot upon his judicial merits, but upon I'AUTY
PREJUDICE—well kuowiug, that, ifthatshould
prove k lost hope, he would he obliged to go to
the wall. It is curious to observe, with what a
droituess he operates upon thb prejudice, iu that
part of his letter, in which he says—“Jfthf ques
tion was proposed to the citizens of Hancock;
whether Col. Andrews or myself shall be Judge
of the Northern Circuit, what do you suppose
would be their decision?" Now, this question It
put t* a Scuator - from that county, ol' his own
political party, the citizens of which sre violently
opposed to Col. Andrews, on account of bis pol*
hies, they beiug directly adverse to those of this
most righteous Judge, But if he had desired to
test his claim* to the office fairly, and upou the
ground of merit al*ue ( why did he net substitute
the name of Mr. Sayre, fur that of Col. An
drews, in his interrogatory to Mr. Devereoua!
Why?—Because be well knew that the re-pous#
of every men honest of hi* party, would have
been, that bo (the Judge,) had been “weighed iu
the balance and found wauling.” He operates
upon the political prejudice of the Senator, iu a-
uother wey—by reminding him, that he it “riir
Oratl*"—the chief of the republican party!"
Mark that, gentle reader—tbe republican party!!
—Can that uaa be deemed a republican, wile
holds sftffi language at the following?—"! bar*
no hesitation in saying that any candidate who
refutes to acquiesce in tho will of a majority of hi*
otert political party, is destitute of all political prin
ciple, and is unworthy and undeserving the sup
port of any membdr of bb political party. Bueb
a min is Nathan C. Sayre. Show this letter to
your colleagues, hit." Here i* republicanism iu
ite very essence—-yes: iu quintessence!—'The will
of William H. Crawford is the very ultimatum of
all republicanism! And pray, at what baptismal
font did he acquire the title of ih* pink of republi
canism? Was it when he voted with a federal
minority against Mr. Jefferson's measures? Was
it whea, in 1810, he recommended au increase of
the Tariff/ Did he acquire it, when he procur
ed a few dissatisfied aspirants, to nominate him to
tlie Presidency, in a caucus oftiO, ugaiust tbeveu-
erable Monro'#, and against the wishes of thw re
publican party? or was it wbeu, ui a later period
he obtained tho votes of four States out of tweu-
ty^four!!—when he -was tho cause of defeating
Jucksun—of saddling'u* with four year* ofj. ‘l■
Adams? the Tariff of 1828, and tho full benefits
of tho American System? Wo would make one
further trait of character displayed by this mod
em Daniel. Mediates that to defeat Mr. Suyre
for daring to onposohis highness, I10 has “acqui
esced in the determination io put up Col. An
drews ut opposition to Mr.-Sayre”—thus deter-
mined to reek bb vengeance upon un independ
ent man, by.supportiug his own political antago
nist. This is the head of tho republican party of
Georgia!! Off**; ■ s • - v
Farther—So long as tbo will of Mr. Dcver-
eaux’s constituents is to operate favorably to
Judgo Crawford, he “honors the motive" of yield
ing to that will. But so soon ax Mr. Snyro r tands
in hu way, away goes the will of constituents—
and Judge Crawford, to glut his vengonneo upon
Mr. Snyro, “acquiesces” in forciug Col. Andrews
upon those very constituents! This b tbo univer
sal moral of William II. Crawford's policy—
Yield lo me or J will spurn you! Yield Io my will
or I will reek my vengeance upon you!. I tare not
what may be the consequence!! Tins is republican
ism in the abstract. ' - '. . '
But enough for the present. The plan suc
ceeded—Mr. Sayre wus bcaicu hy a small ma
jority—and the people of lib circuit art mourning
over Ihe depravity of the times!

Mt Dear Sir—Since my interview with you
this morning, some ideas have occurred wliict •!
beg leave to present 10 you—From what dropt
from you in that. interview, It is mituifcst that
your support of Mr. Sayre, is the result of 'duly
to your constituents. I honor the motive, llut
if tne question which b now presented for your
decision, was prev-uted to your constituents,
what do you suppose would be their decision?
That question, ill understand it, is not whether
Mr. Sayre or myself shall be the Judge of tho
Northern Circuit, but whether 1 or Col. Audrcws
shall bo tho Judge—I understand itis now clear
ly ascertained that Mr. Sayro can receive only
six republican votes, and insists those six votes
shall dictate to more than a hundred Republican
votes. The majority of the Republican party
are so indignant to the course which Mr. Sayre
and friends have pursued, that they are deter
mined, and I have acquiesced in that determina
tion, to put up Col. Andrews in opposition to Mr*
Sayre. There is no doubt, that Col. Andrews
wil get more Clark votes than Mr. Sayre can get
Republican vole*. If the question waspropos-
ed to the citizens of Hancock whether Col. An
drews or myself shall be Judgo of the Northern
Circuit, what do you suppose would be their de
cision? There can, I think, be no doubt, circum-
* lances have changed since you received your im
pressions Of the will of your constituent*. I am
coofideot that if the citizen* of Hancock county
wore truly informed ofthe course Mr. Sayre ba*
pursued upon thb occasion, would J spurn
gainst him, he perseveres in |^.
