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, your friend and scr\ t, SILVESTRE ALFONSO. [American Farmer, From the New England Fanner. LUCERNE. Kip'.'- Bay, near .Veto Yen i., .'be. 7,132 C. 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 • ing the severe drought. Respectfully yours THOMAS STORM AL " r. (.■ ’ <*.??<. i 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.

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 . we can raise the condition and credit . I of out society we w ill have the glo ry of a novel achievement ;;nd pur- ! chase back that dignity we have for f.'i-ed by ctu uegbgeii.s t&d supuie- [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 ;ty of spirit and tndissemblcd love j be coworkcs again with God in era : sing from the hearts of our youth those earlier implantations oi vice | and folly is almost transporting.— i And is there any member ofocr soci { ety who would not feel an unspeak- • able joy; and gratitude to God, were i our schools to be rcsuscitatsd.
