SEED OF THE FINE HAVANA
SMOKING TOBACCO.
J. S. Skinner, Esq.
Havana, Dec. 30, 1826.
Sir, —Having endeavored early
this summer to obtain a small quan
tity ot tobacco seed for the purpose
|of sending it to you, I had the good
I fortune to get some of the very best
kind that we have in our country.
Before 1 conclude my letter, 1
cannot but point out an idea concern
ing the tobacco leaf which is direct
ly contradictory to the general belief
of your countrymen. The yellow
loaf might be considered as the
handsomest, but it is by no means
the best. The colour of the plant
when dry, depends with us on acci
dent out of our control. The cir
cumstances which our planters and
manufacturers universally consider
as evident proofs of its goodness, arc
the lightness, thinness and flavour of
the leaf, instead of th^colour. —
Then, although the seecWhould not
produce yellow, but brown tobacco,
you may believe it to be of the choic
est kind we have
I remain, sir,
your friend and serv’t,
SILVESTRE ALFONSO.

Nov. 7, 1826.
Gentlemen-. —Last year I sowed
one pound ot vour French clover
seed, (lucerne.) I sowed it (as an
experiment,) with my oats, in April
of the same year. It yielded fine
pasture after the oats were cut; and
last spring, when my red clover be
gan to make its appearance, the lu
cerne was full three inches above
the ground. On the 11th of May, 1
began to soil it, daily cutting enough
to sure my three horses in my sta
ble, Mnd with very little help from
other grass, I have continued the
soiling until this day. My horses
have kept in good order through the
whole season, and I have not fed
them ten bushels of oats, or any oth
er grain, during the whole time. It
was richly manured with compost.
1 mowed it five times, notwithstand
ing the severe drought.

A
CIRCULAR,
Addressed to the patrons of the Franklin
• Sunday School Union.
Men 4* Brethren,
Tivo years ago and we pre
sented the public with a flattering
report. —Since that time we have
grown lukewarm. Many of our
schools have suffered a sore declen
sion and many have fallen into obliv
ion. The history ol our Union af
fords a mournful picture of human
instability. “The enemy have open
ed their mouth “They hiss—
They say, certainly this is what we
looked for, we have found, we have
seen it.” Is it a necessary conse
quence, as it seems to he an invaria
ble one, that every institution which
tends to general good must degene
rate so soon as its novelty ceases to
attract; or is it indispensable for
every good institution to lose its at
traction 7 The torpedo has wither
ed the fame of our society and pros
trated our exertion. Many sab
baths return and our men of piety
aid enterprise no longer attend their
little circles to listen to recitations of
the word of God and the sons of
Zion; no longer to entreat heaven’s
benediction upon their pupils and en
large their souls with desires to ob
tain the salvation of God. Where
have those Benefactors of men de
parted ! where is their magnanimi
ty 7 where their perseverance, or
was it mcrly the inspiration of an
ignis fatuus from the damned that
actuated them to this work and al
lowed it to grow insipid and tasteless,
that the great cause of God and
man’s deliverance from sin. might
be divested of its importance.
It may be agitated, whether this
was the Lord’s work. I believe it
was : But the Lord from our mis
management, or because we proved
unworthy hath measurably carrie I it
far away from us. Only in some
places I can hear there remainoth
still a spark of that noble enthusiasm
we once possessed. There are some
of our schools yet in existence though
comparatively few in number and
supine in labour. I could retire to
some “lodge in the wilderness” and
spend a whole year, in pensive mus
ing on our degraded condition ; but
there is no doubt many others would
serve the like penance, were it to be
thought availing. The truth is we
do nothing but confine our spirit and
effort ; and brood over our misfor
tune in solitude, we have from want
of confidence in God and denying to
evidence fruits of this confidence
broke the charm of harmonious
feeling and action under which we
moved, we have pusillanimously
withdrawn from the colours of our
Leader and have given every hellish
infatuated infidel the undisturbed en
joyment of realizing the fulfilment of
their godless predictions. The mis
anthropists of the age may raise
over us their calumnious boast and
we be compelled from our nerveless
state to acknowledge them the palm,
what a cruel damp must this be
in our Christian energy 7 Though
I could hope there are belter Chris
tians than we, and those who shall
shfrmc the despisers of religion and
rcligiou’s means; notwithstanding
the advantage we have given them
to argue against us. yet this will not
attest the dignity of our undertak
ing. The object will ever continue
grand, hut we as the partronisers
will appear ignoble. And what may
he conjectured the cause of our de
clension 1 Was it weariness iR well
doing I Was it because we have
discovered and engaged in some
more godly and useful employment 7
or was there no longer a necessity
for our operations 7 I verely ima
gine the necessity has increased.
If possible Sabbath violations are
more frequent since our decay than
prior to our commencement of this
business. The din of ordinary at
tentions hath effaced the rcmcm
bcrancc of hallowing the sabbath.
Infringements arc continually mak
ing on our regards for the holiness
of the day. The hordes of hell
brazened Emigrants trampling uu
dcr them the laws of our God and
the character of our country, think
so soon as they are permitted to
breathe our air, they have entered
or. a land where there are no Christian
sabbaths. The youth of our coun
try treat their contempt forourGov
ernment and religion as for their en
sample. To the high insults offer
ed to us and God, they associate
their christless malignity. They
stand not in reverence of the sacred
ordinance of Heaven. The relish
for morality and the estimation of its
value is on a rapid decline. The
rising generation sink in moral re
finements below thoir predecessors
and fears might well ho entertained
that immorality with all its uncouth
trainlwill prevail without any or lit
tle opposition; cotbat good viJJ be

called evil and evil, good. At the
place of public worship, Alas ! how
few of our youug friends assemble,
whereas if there be a resort for dis
order and dissipation we can hear of
many strolling to it, and 80 shameless
are they becoming to disgrace,
that they are not afraid to repeat the
sad story of the conduct in which
they have been occupied and seem
to be as unfeeling to any conscious
ness of impropriety as if they hai
been taught, “God was just such an
one as themselves.” It dispirts
me to see our counfry’s virginity and
glory wasting all their precious tal
ents, and vitiating their taste and
destroying the very appearance of
pious sensibility at this poor rate.
Training up in the school of vice ;
becoming flagitious, indolent and
wretched in their habits. Despising
the sanctification of the sabbath and
living as they will die, without a se
rious and speedy reformation, the
dupes of unpardonable ignorance
and the prey of ruin. I call you
now to rellect on our situation ! Ex
amine the grounds on which we have
relinquished our enterprise 7 and see
if we should not be ashamed of
the poor manifestationot Christianity
we have shewn to the world! Might
we not well tremble, lest by our
sloth we become a snare and a spoil
to them that would do well! Might
we not well hide our fates and hang
down our heads and suffuse ou - eyes
for that littleness of magnanimity
now known to all our revilers 1 what
a pitful respect have we witnessed
to the great God of the sabbath 7
My heart bleeds while I contemplate
the insignificancy and inertness of
our endeavours.
110w r ever, unfavourable, as the
present crisis of our society may be;
I perceive no room to plead a longer
continuance ofinactivity. Ido not
believe it will again flourish by per
mitting it to be buried in deeper in
famy &to grow altogether into dis
repute. There is every stimulant
to emulate and every necessity to
energise for action. The increasing
violations of the Sabbath—The pro
gress of profligate manners among
the younger classes of the communi
ty; and the magesty of a reclaim have
all the bearing that should recall
our existence.
In a renewal of our attempts, to
reconstitute our schools, I would
not intimate that wc shall have no
difficulties. There will be many to
encounter, and these more irrepres
sible than any we have heretofore
had. Our decay is lamentable; yet
an extinction would be more so.—
The lower our degradation the more
forcible will be the obstructions to
meet us. The plan that I would
humbly suggest and it is one to
which I hope every honest hearted
and zealous Christian will yield a
cordial concurrence, is that we sub
mit no longer to the oppressions of
that “nightmare which now presseth
down our bosom.” If wo cannot at
once burst into that high flourishing
state wo formerly enjoyed; let
us come to tho adoption of steady
and persevering measures; let us
resolve to go to the work, not in our
own strength but by fervent suppli
cations engage the power of God to
work effectually with us; and I feel
confident, when I say we should en
gage the power of god, that he will
noi fail us. I know “his arm is not yet
shortened.” 1 know “they are more
that be for us than they that he a
gainst us.” The great Lord of this
work hath prospered it with us in
former time. He is now prospering
it with others around us; and he will
by a strong reliance on his help and
faithfulness. “renew our days as the
Eagles” and rejoice our hearts with
demonstrations of his nccompaning
and comforting grace.
We need not stand at a distance
and tell this Institution, as the ene
mies of the Saviour said to him, if it
will save itself and come disentangled
of all its crosses; we will believe
it good and be auxiliary in support
ing it. Wee need not be saying to
our brethren connected with us in
this Union, that if they will venture
the first advance towards its reform,
wc will follow and lend them uur
succour. We need not be dreading
that our individual efforts to a re
demption of our society will be hunt
ed as enthusiasm and be inefficient
to obtain the efforts of those once
accessory. If we wait until their
arise no impediments wc shall nev
er do any thing profitable, our socie
ty shall be forever under the curse
of its adversaries and our respecta
bility be eternally blasted. Was it
never known that an object, so laud
,able in its views and comprehensive
in its end, reduced so low, could be
reinstated successfully? Then it
we can raise the condition and credit
of out society we will have the glo
ry of a novel achievement and pur
chase back that dignity we have for
feited by our negligence and supine
nc*?.
[OR «4 IF NOT PAID IN 81X WORTHS*.
Therefore my fellow men I propaeo
that we be stirred np to magnify
God in this work and to “quit oai*
selves like men and Christians” we»o
not those days pleasant when ire
met with innocence and instructeA
it in “that wisdom which cometli
from Above and is easy to be entreat*
ed” when wo experienced our own
s ouls refreshed by ' abounding in the
work of the Lord,” and knew “that
our labours in the Lord were not ilk
vain” when we impressed by oar
example a sacredness for the hafy
sabbath and excited early enquires
to be making. How “shall I escape”
neglecting “so great salvation." I
aver, every good man must be do.
lighted in the exercise and I could
predicate that all the departments
of society will encourage os, on a
second trial. Should vro not pro.
cure their approbation at the oat
start so readily as desirable, we most
make allowances for our own mute*
ness and by silent aud unremitting at*
tention regain that contenance we
have very unhappily caused to bo
taken from us. There are yet hooks
in our deposit and ws can commonco
with prospects of immediately re* Tt
warding diligence and promptitude.
It would seem to me a most cheering
thing and the most consistent thing
to have our society once moro in foil
operation and moving on in that
sublime system which would over*
spread with its blessings the whole
range it could in compass. Angela
would also rejoice to witness the
scene and to report the tidings in
Heaven that we hare by a hopeful
emulation; began to scatter the
clouds of ignorance and sins prej
judices from tender minds and
raise them to the contemplations
of God and immortality. Surely tho
gracious God would speed us, ilk
these designs. The holy spirit,
whose office is to sanctify the heart
would prepare it for the ready and
useful reception of the divine truths
we might communicate, we woald
ourselves be recompensed with a
sweet consolation that we are em
ployed in unravelling the mysteries
of Godliness and filling up our ranks
in the scale of being with a nobfo
race of intelligences. Then as wo
value the well being of society at
large, our oivn satisfaction and itn»
condescension and glory of God.—
As wc look to our country’s present
and future character—As we desire
the greatest good to the soul of
every man, let us step forward once
more in the mighty power of god to
a renovation of our Union and re*
deem all that precious time we hav©
already murdered by an unworthy
dalliance. My prayer to God for
you bretheu is that you may ha
stirred up. My joy would be coo*
summate in our perfect recovery.—
The thought we shall one day in uni*
(y of spirit and undissembled lo? 9
be coworkes again with God in era
sing from the hearts of our youtlg
those earlier implantations ot vie©
and folly is almost transporting.—
And is there any member of our soci**
ety who would not feel an unapeak*
able joy; and gratitude to God, wer©
our schools to be resuscitated. Tb©
haunts for sabbath breakers forsa
ken. The violators of Gods irwti*
tutes shunned and hated as the vi*
lest of mankiud and the religion of
Jesus like the rivers of Eden running
in all directions through oUr land,
our sous and our daughters becoming
sober, upright and intelligent and
our Fathers honored and reverenced
standing unappallc-d at the approach
of the grave, bel eving that all iS
surrendered into the Lords keep
ing. "
Then by this unspeakable jov
and gratitude availing you I would
press you into a reaction as well fli*
by the great gratification it woald
afford the Christian world. This iS
an age of revivals —The mighty
spirit of God is spread abroad abut)-
dnntly. The ways of the Lord of
the whole earth are making strait.
It is an auspicious period for us and
we should employ all our means to
embrace and improve it, were you
now my voice might extend to yotSf
ears I would plead with all the siw
plicity and engagedness of serious
entreaty. —I would addfese you with
all the arts of persuasion. But I
must leave you to God under the di*
rection of your own wisdom which
I trust will “guide you into all truth”
and establish you in that which shall
be most useful to promote the inter*
ests of God and man.
