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. [American Farmer. From tlie New England Farmer. LUCERNE. Kip’s Bay, near New York, 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. Respectfully yours, THOMAS STORM. Mo s rs. G. Thornfrurn 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 fVoL. 11. No. 11.— Whole No. LXIII. 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.
