can for a moment be at a loss, to ascertain the

you intend to lay before an eager and enquiring

blaze of your political science, treasured up, on
your ridings of the Eastern Cr.cuiti 1 boldly
state to you sir, that your solicitude to represent
this county, springs from your blind devotion
to a declared candidate for the Senate of the
United States. It is to advance his "longing ex

ded yourself on public attention. In the month
of August last, you declined being a candidate
to ref resent the Citizens in Council, and it was
universally undeiatood, that you had taken your
leave of the turmoils ot public life, determining
to pass the remainder of your days, in the uti-
uflLtii scenes i f domestic ease, and professional

your unsteadiness has augmented with your

In the month of August 1819,l published
an essay to the Savannah Museum and Ga
zette in opposition to an opinion then gett
er d y entertained, that the rot was pto-
duaed by the action of insects upon the
piant. In that Essay I maintained :
That the rut had its origin in the uncom
mon wet summer of 18ir:‘du>ing which
period, the whole plant having been expos
ed to an unusually moist atmosphere, and
its roots nearly immersed in water; absorb
ed ton .great a portion of aqueous matte in
its.sap, t
, That the subsequent continuance of this
disease through dry summers was oo more
than the result of hereditary principles;its
existence being derived orily from the use
of seer’s of diseased plants—In October of
the same year, in answer to "Observer” a
writer in the Augusta Chronicle; 1 further
explained my opinion of the cause and con
tinuance of the rot
In both of those Essays, I made a dis
tinction between thu rot, and the decay
that follows, as I supposed, too luxuriant
’hooting or putting out of the plant; and
known by the boll wilting and being mo
diiurnus while those with the rot were high
»y ndnu'ous
All my subsequent enquiries and obser-
rations have but confirmed me in the opin
ion that the distinction should be maintain

We beg leave-to notice through the medium

[For the Savannah Republican]
Mr. Editor,
rite publication of Mr. Pomeroy a few
we<*k« since, in your paper, on the cause*
of the r t in Cotton; with an offer of a patent
emvdy, recalled my mind to a subject up
on which I formerly bestowed considera
ble attention,
Mr. Pomeroy believes that the lateral fi
bres nf the staple becoming greatly distend-
d, or ruptured, while in the green state,
by the ab-orp ion of crude aqueous sap; a
a morbid action ensues: Attu thus diseas
ed, the proximate cause of decomposition
may be, a humid atmosphere, or the action
of ius-ctv.
The patent remedy he offers for a dis
ease, so complicated as Ite believes it to be
is, theseperatiou of the cortical layers from
the Alburnum ofthe plant: and to facilitate
the operation he proposes an instrument of
bis own ihvention, which he terms a decor-
ticator. •
It does not readily appenr, how the same
disease can be produced by causes so dis
si mi liar, as the action of insects. and a hu
mid atmosphere; nor how' seperating the
cortical layers from the alburnum, would
regenerate the plant,if it had absorbed crude
aqtienus sap; and likewise operate a cure
to the boll or capsule, if wounded by in
sects.
Mr. Pomeroy evidently had no definite
opinion of the causes of rot. The rente
dv he off-rs, however, though de-titute of
novelty, may be attended with advantage
to Colton in some instances,
L>ying the alburnum bate of the liber,
has been found when practiced on branches
of fruit trees, to ericease their quality of
fruit.—And since it is generally known
that a sameness exists in the physiology of
fruit trees and the Cntlnn nlont if mao «<>
As a caution against the rot I recom
mended a selection of seed for the next
year, while picking from healthy plant, on
ly; and preserving i’ in u dry cool place.
By this precaution, I supposed two or three
J earg would eradicate the evil. Although,
have seen no cause to change the opin*
ions [ then held; yet I am aware bow easy
it is to be deceived in the i xamination of a
subject of so much intricacy.
The doubt, 1 have tmggesiod of the ben
efit likely to result fiom Mr. Pome.roy's
opergti m have not been to discourage i *
trial—on the contrary I hope its utility may
be fu'ly tested. But for any reasons now
known ; l ahuuld prefer topping the plant,
b'dh no light and strong soils, to the use of
his decorficator. I cannot speak with the
certainty vyhiclt experiment would give; but
I think the preference justified by the anal
ogy which exists between lopping and the
•Tuning offruit trees; and likewise the man
ner in which tobacco is tended. And if we
ruay trust to the analogy, this method ,f
cultivating the plant would both increase
the quantity and improve the quality of the
staple.
The objection to topping by the planter
is the labour required aflet wards to destroy
the succor*; vet was the growth nt the
plant attended to, and a proppr time chosen;
I believe but few succors would put out af
ter wards. But the most proper time for
this can only be determined by frequent
experiments; vvhicb from the little personal
attention given by owners to their planta
tions, are not likely to be. made.
It is time for the cotton grower in the U-
nited States to be on the alert, now that he
has to contend with so great a competi'ion
in those of other countries. The encreas*
ing amount grown for ten o r twelve years
in the B azils, and latterly in Egypt,
should open his eyes to the danger he runs
uftnosing the entire European Market. If,
therefore, he would continue a successful
competition ; let him introduce every art
that would improve the quality, or enable
him to grow a greater quantity with leak
labor. For he may be assured, it is only
by keeping down the price of his article,
that he may hope for the preference. But
sh-uld he supinelv trust to nature, and
fortuitous incidents unaided by art, he may,
while importing goods from Europe,, find
himself clothed from the cotton of other
countries and his own left to rot on hand.
MIRZA.
A meeting of Delegates!from the differ-
ejrtt counties in Pennsylvania wag held at
Harrisburgh on the 9th inst. and an electo
ral 'iclfet formed f.ivorable *o the election
of W m. H. Crawford, for I res-ident and
4 lbeht Gallatin for Vice President of
gl&ited $t&teift
fruit trees and the Cotton plant, irwas na
tural enough in Mr Pomeroy to hope for
the same result on the latter,as had follow
ed theoneration on the former. He may
not be altogether disappointed in cottou on
light arid exhausted soils: For here the
plant very generally puts out in the first
part ofthe season more dian it can mature.
In such a case, the operation (if not made
too early) acting a* a detainer, might-aid
p rltaps, maturing what otheiwise would
necessarily be lost
But it must be recollected as an objec
tion to the operation, even where this hap
pens, that a free circulation ot sap contri
butes much tj the heal th of the plant. For
although the sap, after being elaborated in
the leaves,decprids slowly through the cor
tical layers; yet it is as necessary to give
strength to the roots, as the blond that re
turn* through the vein* to the heart is, to
purposes of life in an animal.
