•PHILADELPHIA, May 3.
THE Planters of South-Carollna are mak
ing experiments in the culture of cot
ton, and they have proved hitheno very fatis
fadory, promising great profit. We hope to
lee their cotton bags, before long the nvocl
pucks of America. We learn that they have
got the gin. or machine for cleaning it, by
which the profit of railing it must be much
cncrealed. How flourilhing would South-
Caroiina and Georgia soon be with proper
ceconomy, under t a good government, who,
to their old valuable produce, rice and indi
go, have lately added tobacco and cotton.
*The'latter article may be of considerable con
lequence to the coasting trade, which will
probably be confined by the general govern
meat to American bottoms, as such regula
tion would not at all interfere with necessary
open market to foreigners* The large towns
an the middle and northern dates will pro
bably become the feenes of munqfedure, as
cotton must be transported from the places of
its growth. This domestic branch of the car
rying trade, from port to port within the union
is becoming daily more important. The
Virginia colliers now employ a good deal of
tonnage, and new difeoveries on the Hudson,
Delaware or Chesapeake will* it may he hoped,
Cncreafe the benefit of this branch.
It is hoped, fays a correspondent, that one
of the firft measures of the federal government
will be to lay a large general import or excise
on spirituous liquors, to preserve morals, to
prevent disorders, to introduce asfubftitutesthe
native American beer and cyder, and to ease
the landed interest and farmers of part of their
prefeut taxes. By pursuing the English me
thod of using home-brewed beer, our farmers
might save all their taxes. County mak-houfe,
within the reach of a morning’s carting with
barley, and from which a farmer might return
with his malt the fame day, would greatly
conduce to the public benefit and convenience.
The state of Pennsylvania, being about 150
miles wide from north to fdutb, and about
360 miles long from east to weft, may be re
duced into frxty diftrids of 30 miles square ;
that is, if it was fully peopled, no more than
sixty malt houses would be required to com
plete the above plan, from each of which the
farmers might go and come in a day.
We learn tflat Mr. Borriley, of the Eastern
Shore of Maryladd, has preferred the Agri
cultural Society of this city with a model of a
*ThreJhing Machine , which is fomfewhat on the
conftrudion of .a coffee-mill* and will threfti
above one hundred builiels of wheat in a day,
1/vith one man’s labour. Machines appear to
be objeds •f*immenfe consequence to this
•country. Every month furnilhes iis with
something new and important of that nature.
It is the duty of every friend to America, at
liome and abroad, to keep a vigilant eye upon
fcvery thing of that kind which comes in his
w r ay. We may invent, and we may borrow
of Europe their inventions. Possessed of foil
without end, every thing that saves the labour
of hands is a gain of peculiar value to us.
BALTIMORE, April 29.
A correspondent hath favoured us with the
following intelligence, which wc chearfully
present to our readers: « That on Monday
the 11ft inst. the Convention appointed by the
citizens of this state, for the purpose of coun
tering the couftitution promoted by the Gene*
9
¥ H S
»•'< M - "T!'. * * "■ ■ ••' ••
ral Convention for the government of the
United States, met at the city of Annapolis,
and unanimously eleded the Hon. George
Piater, Esq. President. Upon the 23d the
plan of government was read the firft time,
and a resolution taken thereupon, that the
convention would not enter into a decision
upon any particular part of the plan; but that
af;er a second reading, the liibjed at large
might be fully debated and considered ; after
which the question Ihould be put by the Presi
dent, and thie yeas and nays takfen upon the
ratification. Accordingly, upon the 26th the
question was taken, when there appeared for
the ratification 63, against it 11. Then a
committee of 13 was appointed to date and
report such amendments as they might agree
upon, for the confideratioii of that honorable
body, the convention. These amendments,
if deemed necessary, to be proposed to the
people, to be hereafter recommended only.
« The fame correspondent observes, that
he is happy in alluring us, that the greatest
dignity, as well as decorum, was exhibited
on this important occasion. The minority
were heard with a candid and profound atten
tion. Their talents and abilities were amply
displayed ; and but from the cleared: impref
fiobs of the heft of causes, they might have
been more fuceefsful.
*« The elegance of Annapolis will be fully
displayed upon this event, and the citizens of
Baltimore town are occupied in preparing an
exhibition, which promises a gfand demon
firation of those exalted advantages winch are
inseparable from the hopes and expectations
of the United America.
“ The general cimduft of Maryland, con
nefted with this noble trait in hei unhlemithed
charaOer, mu ft infprre the mind with encreaf
ing admiration ! Maryland,—independent in
her resources,—superior by the excellence of
her political and civil institutions, to the rage
of internal commotion —Maryland, the in
formed, the benevolent and the wife, who
can befiow advantages without an equivalent,
but in the consciousness of advancing public
felicity—has opened her bosom to the em
braces of her filler states, has erected the
SEVENTH PILLAR upon which will be
reared the glorious fabric of American great
ness; and, in which fabric, the rights of
mankind will be concentered as to their native
home!
*< O ! may the happy moment soon arrive,
when the august Temple of Freedom lhail be
supported by Thirteen Pillars, with its gates
unfolded to every part of the creation —may
its duration be as permanent as time, and its
period engulphed only in the bosom of eter
nity !*'
