SEED OF THE FIN E IIA YANA
SMOKING TOBACCO.
J. S. Skinner, Esq.
Havana, Dec. 30, 1826.
Sir; — Having endeavored early
this summer to obtain a small quan
tity of tobacco seed for the purpose
of sending it to you, I had the goo I
fortune to get somgof the very best
kind that we have in our country.
Before 1 conclude my letter, I
cannot but point out an idea concern
ing the tobacco leaf w hich is direct
ly contradictory to the general belief
of your countrymen. The yellow
leaf 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 gocdiic-s, are
the lightness, thinness and flavour of
the leaf, instead of the colour. —
Then, although the seed should not
produce yellow , but brown tobacco,
von may believe it to be of the choic
est kind we have
I remain, sir,

Gentlemen: — Last year I sowed
one pound of your Trench clover
seed, (lucerne.) 1 sowed it (as an
experiment.) with my oats, in April
of the same year. It yielded line
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 1 Ith of May, J
began to sc.il it, daily ciittiug enough
to serve my three horses in my. ta
ble, and with very little help from
other grass, 1 have continued the
soiling until this day My horses
Lave kept in good order through the
whole season, and 1 have not fed
them ten bushels of oats, or any oth
er grain, during the whole time. It
was richly manured wilii compost.
1 mow ed it five times, notwithstaiid

A
CIRCULAR,
Addressed to the patrons of the Franklin
Sunday School Union.
Men <s• Brethren,
Two 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 be an invaria
jblconc, that every institution which
: tends to general good must degcnc
i rate so soon as its novelty ceases to
’ attract; or is it indispensable for
every good institution to lose its at
; traction ? The torpedo has wither
: cd the fame of our society and pros
trated our exertion. Many sab
< baths return and our men of piety
| and enteri.rise no longer attend their
little circles to listen to recitations of
; the word of God and the sons ol
Zion; no longer to entreat heaven’s
, benediction upon their pupils and cn
‘ large their souls with desires to ob
{tain the salvation of God. Where
I have tho e Benefactors of men de
-1 parted ! where is their magnanimi
ty ? where their perseverance, or
. was it merly the inspiration of an
‘ignis fatuus from the d.mined that
actuated them to this work and al
j lowed it to grow insipid and tasteless,
i that the great cause of God and
Iman’s deliverance from sin, might
; be divested of its importance.
It may be agitated, whether this
was the Lord’s work. 1 believe it
was : But the Lord from our mis
management, or because wc proved
unworthy hath measurably carrie i it
far awav from us. Only in sone
I places i can hear there remaincth
| still a spark of that noble enthusiasm
wc once possessed. There arc some
of our sciioolsyet 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
servo tiie like penance, were it to be
thought availing. The truth.is we
do nothing but confine our spirit and
effort ; and brood over cur misfor
; tune in solitude, we have from want
' of confidence in God and denying to
I evidence fruits of this confidence
I broke the charm of harmonious
I feeling and action under which wc
moved, we have pusillanimously
withdrawn from the colours of our
I Leader and have given every hellish
, infatuated infidel the undisturbed en
: joyment of realizing the fulfilment of
I their godless predictions. The mis
| anthropists of the age may raise
I over us their calumnious boast and
i wc be compelled from our nerveless
I slate to acknowledge them the palm,
i what a cruel damp must this be
’in our Christian energy ! Though
I could hope tin re are better < hris
i tians than ve, and those who shall
■ shame the desnisers of religion am!
I religiou s means; notwithstanding
' lite advantage wc have given them
. to argue against us. yet this will not
I attest the dignity oi’our undertak-
* mg. The object will ever continue
[grand, but we as the partroni-ers
will appear ignoble. And what may
|be conjectured the cause of our de
' < lension ! '.Yas it weariness in well
i doing I V< as it because wc have
I discovered and engaged in some
•m< r c godly and u.-cfu! employment 1
{or v.as there n > longer a necessity
{ for our operations I 1 verely ima
' ginc the necessity has increased.
If possible Salffiath violations are
more frequent since our decay than
prior to our commencement ol’ this
business. Ihe din ci ordinary at
tentions hath effaced the remcm-
I Lcrancc of hallowing ti e sabbath.
Infringements arc continually mak
{ing on our regards tor the holiness
:ef the day. The hordes of hcll
hrazered Emigrants trampling uu
, dor them the laws o! our God and
I the character cf our country, think
<o soon as they are permitted to
{breathe our air, taey ha\ e entere 1
loan laud w here there are no Christian
■ sabbaths The youth oi our coun
try treat their contempt fcrourGov-
eri inent and religion as tor their cn-
I sample. To the high insults offer
ed to us and God, they associate
'their chriitless ma’igu:'.y. They
' >tand not in reverence of the sacred
ordinance of Heaven. The reli-n
for moralitv and the estimation of its
value is on a rapid decline. The
rising generation sink in mural re-
I fincments Ixdow th ir predecessors

'.called evil and evil, good. At the {
{ place of public worship, Alas ! how
I lew of our youug friends assemble,
whereas if there be a resort for dis
order and dissipation we cun hear of I
many strolling to it, and so shameless |
are they becoming to disgrace, i
tiiat they arc 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 had
been taught, “God was just such an
one as themselves.” It dispirts
me to see our country’s virginity and ,
glory wasting all their precious tai- {
; ents, and vitiating their taste and I
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
i 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
I now to reflect on our situation '. Ex
i amine the grounds on which we have
I relinquished our enterprise ? and see
if we should not be ashamed of
’the poor manifestationol Christianity
we have shewn to the world! Might
we not wcli tremble, lest by our
sloth we become a snare and a spoil
to then What would do well I 'flight
wc not well hide our faces and hang
down our heads and snfi’use our eyes
‘ fur that littleness of magnanimity
now known to all our reviiers what
a pitful respect have we witnessed
to the great God of the sabbath 1
My heart bleeds while I contemplate
i the insignificancy and inertness of
our endeavours.
However, unfavourable, as the
i present crisis ol’ our society may be;
i 1 perceive no room to plead a longer
continuance of inactivity. ido not
b lieve it will again flourish by per
mitting it to b<’ buried in deeper in
famy teto grow altogether into dis
repute. There is every stimulant
to emulate and every necessity to
energise for action. The increasing
violations of the Sabbath—'i’he pro
gress of prt.fhgatc manners among
tho younger classes of the communi
ty; and the magesty of a reclaim have
ail the bearing that should recall
our existence.
Ina renewal cfour attempts, to
reconstitute our schools, 1 would
not intimate that we shall have no
ditlicultics. 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 bo more so.—
The lower our degradation the more
forcible wiil bp the obstructions to '
meet us. Thu plan that I would '
j humbly suggest and it is one to j
' which 1 hope every honest heart <i •
i and zealous chri .tian will yield a ‘
; cordial concurrence, is that we sub-;
mit no longer to the oppressions of;
that “nightmare which now presseth j
down our bosom.” If we cannot at I
onco Lurst into that high flourishing;
' state we formerly enjoyed; lei j
I us come to the adoption oi' steady |
and p rsctcring measures; let us!
r<sclvc to go to the work, not in our I
| own strength but by fervent suppli
, cations engage the power oi God to]
. work effectually with us; and 1 ibel'
I confident, w hen I say we should cm-•
, gage the power of god, that he will i
; not fa;! us. 1 know “his arm is not yet ;
. shortened.” 1 know “they arc more |
■that be for us than they that be a-i
1 gainst us.” The great Lord ofthis '
work hath prospered it with us m
termer time. He is now’ prospering |
' it with, others around us; and he will [
. by a strong reliance on bis help and {
! faithfulness, “renew our days as the ;
Eagles" and rejoice our hearts with i
demonstrations of his acccmpaning i
■ and comforting grace. j
Wc need not stand at a distance
{ and tell this institution, as the ene
mies efthe Saviour said to him, if it
; v. ill save itself and come disentangled ’
'of all its crosses; we will believe]
it good and be auxiliary in support-]
ing it. Vfcc need nut be saving to j
our brethren connected with us in I
' tLL Union, that if they will venture
the first advai.ee towards its reform,
wc will follow and lend t’. in our
succour. nut be dreading
' that our individual efforts to a re
demptien of cur society will be hunt
ed :;■> enthusiasm and be inefficient
to obtain the efforts of those once
• accessory. If we wait until their
j arise no imprediments we shall nev- ’
er do any thing profitable, our socie
ty shall be forever under the curse
ot i ' adversaries and our respecta
bility be eternally blasted. Wasit j
?.• itr known that an object, laud-;
able in its views and comprehensive
in its end, reduced so low, could be ]
reinstated successfully’ Then il j

[OR $4 IF NOT PAID IN SIX
Therefore my fellow men I propose
that we be stirred up to magnify
God in this work and to “quit our
selves like men and Christians” were
| not those days pleasant when we
{ met with innocence and instructed
it in “that wisdom which cometh
from above and is easy to be entreat
ed” when we experienced our own
souls refreshed by ‘ abounding in the
work df the Lord,’) and knew “that
our labours in the Lord were not ia
vain” when we impressed by out
example a sacrcdness for the holy
| sabbath and excited early enquires
• to be making. How “shall I escape”
{neglecting “so great salvation.” I
{aver, every good man must be dc
? lighted in the exercise and I could
predicate that al! the departments
of society will encourage us, on a
second trial. Should we not pro
cure their approbation at the out
start so readily as desirable, we must
make allowances flor our own mute
ness and by silent and unremitting at
tention regain that contenance we
have very unhappily caused to be
taken from us. There are yet books
in our deposit and we can commence
with prospects of immediately re
warding diligence and promptitude.
It would seem to me a most cheering
thing and the most consistent thing
to have our society once moru in full
operation and moving on iu that
sublime system which would over
spread with its blessings the whole
range it could in compass. Angels
would also rejoice to witness the
scone and to report the tidings in
Heaven that we have 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 the
gracious God would speed us, hr
these designs. The holy spirit,
whose ofiice is to sanctify the heart
would prepare it for the ready and
useful reception of the divine truths
we might communicat' , wc would
ourselves be recompensed with a
sweet consolation that we arc em
ployed in unravelling the mysteries
us Godliness and tilling up our ranks
in the scale of being with a noble
race of intelligences. Then as ffa
value the well being of society at
large, our own satisfaction and the.
condescension and glory of God. —
As we look to our country’s present
and future character—As we desire
the greatest good to the soul o'
every man, let us step forward once
more in tho*m:ghty power ol god to
a renovation ot our Union and re
deem al! that precious time wo have
already murdered by an unworthy
' dalliance. My prayer to God for
■ you brethen is that you inay be
stirred up. My joy would bo cotb
; summate in our perfect recovery. —
I ’l’he thought we shall one day in uni
