Ibis promises to the Ndrth, adr vantages far greater, than the cotton growing, or gold unices, to the South. The - culture jof silk- was fiist known in China ; j w here both the mulberry and the ' silk-worm are of spontaneous growth. According to Chinese recordsl, it commenced there, many centuries prior to the Christian era. This delicate manu facture in all its mysterious branches, was, for a long tjtne, under the ex- clu sive' management of he em press es, and the women 1 of their house holds but 'was, nftierwards, .spread atnortg all tiie femajeof the empire China was long jcalled uThe inex haustible store-boiusjj of silk."t From China, it made .it si w!ay into the oth er parts of Asia ; latid subsequently, into Luiope ; successively,-' into Greece, Italy, France and England.-. Into Greece and Jtaly; many centu ries ago; into I'tiance, about two hundred years aoi, more recently in to England, The raw material is still raised in great s.abundance," in these, and other countries of the East ; excepting England; her clim ate does not. admit of its' growth the skill of her artists is exercised in the manufacture'alone. l Neatly. one-hundred years ago, the grow ing of the mulberry. (ree . was commenced in Georgia ; - and, ..in 176G twenty thousand pounds of co coons were exported from that Slate ; and sold in England, j Soon after, a similai beginning was made in Penn sylvania ; but both! were discontinu ed by the revolution. ? In Connecticut, sewing .silk has been manufactured moi e than seven ty years. The product of the town of Mansfield alonej the present sea-, son, is estimated at! eighty-five thou sand dollari.' i i 1 - About thirty years ago, this article was manufactured, to some extent, in Amherst in this county ; and several beautiful webs were! woven ; i and worn, in gowns and handkerchiefs, by the females, "whose! ingenuity and skill fabricated (hem.

Though once an article? of' luxury, and ex- changed, in equal ueilit, ; fur gold, and afterw ard-, by 'isomei , govern ments, forbidden to be used, consid eited.as. extravagance i;. yet it is noir, an iarttcle much, in ut-e, in all "couuv triei ; and will; in all' probability in our, time, become as common, for wearirrg apparel, as the fabrics, made of flax or cotton. j i , (?reat l). itain imports,' annually, chiefly from Uengal, .Italy, Qhina, and Turkey, raw silk, to sijipplyjlver intin ufaclortes, 10 the amount of nioie than "seven millions of dollars ; Fiance imports from the same plnces, chttjfly, more than twenty millions ; besides large qnantiiies raided in her own! territory; and she exports, " be sides a much greater sating from the quantity used at home," of this arti cle tnanufuctured, the incredible a; motiint of' five hundred millions of dllais."

I i These fads show, the impoitance of this culture ; boih to agricultur ists,-and to .the' nation. .1 We pay for this article, manufactured abroad, an annual tax, of between seven and -ten j millions ; w hich iU culture would save f-and, t a few years, enable us tp exp.ort, of the darnel material, as much! more. Thus saving that sum; 4 1 wide told.?? The fact also, that, the .dpmand, abroad, for our biead-S s,iufis,!i8 constantly diminishing ; and our export of that, article, annually decreasing, adds importance To this culture.. - ! i Its Value may be learned from the estimation, in which other nations have held if. The art has been con-i sidered as mysterious ; j and artists; skilled in it, prohibited, from leaving their country, under severe, and I believe, capital punishments. If a solitary artist eluded this prohibition, he lias been courted in other coun tries, and there rewarded with a princely munificence. As late as IS23, ja silk manufacturer of Lyons, in France, at the' solicitation of in dividual manufacturers in England, went there to introduce, certain parts of his art ; aud impart some portions of his skill. He returned, in one year, With a bonus of Twenty, thou sand pounds sterlingeighty thou sand dollars. On his 1 return to France he ras prosecuted, for com municating his skill but had the good fortune to elude the penalty. In England, France, jlialy, and China, this manufacture could not be valued,! It is equally, abore price, here.- Our climate, andtftir soil, are equally adapted to it ; and will raise the raivj material in greater abund ance ; and of a finer, richer, and su perior quality. ?t ; .
