i PHILOSOPHY FOR FARMERS-
The friend at vur elbow i a skeptic !
What have farmers to do with Philoaophj r
Much, very much ; if the business is pur
sueii rur Jlenj.ic Pt hsi if. from
sheer cecesaity to eke out a. miserable exis
tence, it hows indeed, a very great want of
it. - Inat there are certain nxeti, nninutalile
principles, of tliemselves constituting the
science of Philosophy, upon which tlie suc
cessful farmer is as dependent as any other
, class of mankind, cannot be denied by the
most skeptical, IS ay, lie is, more titan oth
ers, interested in a knowledge ol ihe general
firoperties of matter and the mechanical
aw of bodies, the physical law of attraction,
light and electricity.
. oine have erroneously supposed, that the
life of tlie husbandman was nothing more
thali a continual round of manual labor, to
plant, cultivate and reap tlie fruits of hit
indusfj-y ; that there is no necessity that he
jJaould have any book knowledge ; that the
manual skill taught htm by his lather, anil
his own observation, weri amply sufficient
tor his calling..
It is fue that many good practical far
mers live and die, without their being "ble
to assign a reason, or a correct one, unless
bv accident, for tH-rforminir certain labors
t( the farm at certain periods of the year.
or wny usnouiu oe none in a certain manner;
whereas had their education been such as tt
fit them for the station of their choice in
life, they would not only be able to assign a
correct reason, but to so direct their t Hurts
as to second the immutable laws of nature,
and see a re the desired results with a less
amount of labor. .
How important it is to the farmer to un
derstand the nature of his soil, the qualities
of its indigenous- produce, the food of the
plants by. nature, and the elementary princi
ples of his cultivated crops. If he can only
have this knowledge, wVich ran alone be
acquired by education, by diligence, by
book learning, he will at once be enabled by
the judicious application of manures, and a
proper rotation of crops, to restore to the
oil its pristine properties, or if originally
llefcttivw tw smI it yJaitiv. ; .
AH soils produce weeds in greater or Irsa
abundance, most of which are great pests to
the farmer, not ouly exhausting the soil of
its fruitfulness (weeds are gross feeders) but
choking out the cultivated crops.
Il annuals produced from the seed each ,
year, they may be generally extirpated in a
few years by their destruction before the
seed is matured. If bitnn'udi, they are less
easily cot rid of, the root also must be de-
stroved. This mar sometimes be done by
! " " I'. W.Jn7th.!
"r rT. I "". V: .I.- - ,i...
rat tfrnm th leave, and .talks necessary
rate sap from the leaves and stalks necessary
for their support, and thus the juices de
signed for tbe nourishment of the parent
root are rendered acrid and poisonous, and
the root must perish. If ptrtnniali, possess
ed of top or stem of woody fibre, pasture
well in the summer, if cattle will eat the
leaves, or cut off the tops in the summr,
either oi wmcn win uestroy or prevent me
- a ..a . . . i-
perfection of the sap which forms the yearly
layer of woody fibre, and no plant or shrub
can stand this treatment for a scries of a
few years.
Practically, one of the' greatest pests to
the farmers of hast I rnnessve, the sassalras,
is soon destroyed bv the process of clovcrmg
and nasturinz. If the clover it mown, the
tpmlcr shoots of the sassafras are cut off
in the heat of summer, and if pastured down,
domestic animals eat off the young shoots
and the juices contained in tlie leaves are
rut oB Irom the parent plant, the womiy
filir Is not formed, or it diseased at its for
mation, and hence, for the want of the
proper annual supply of nourishment the
plant dies, though a tree is very tenacious
of life.
The leaves of trees and plants are to them,
what the lunrs are to animals in the animal
economy. In them the sap it purified and
perlected.and whatever is too gross, or unut
lor the aliuirnt of the parent tree or plant,
is thrown till' bv the leaves on the atmos
phere; thus if the sponjrioles, or minute
fibres of the roots absorb from the toil ele
ments hurtful or destructive to the tree or
plant, nature has furnished it with a perfect
rlaboratory to relieve itself of the poison
absorbed bv the roots.
The philosophic farmer being aware of
these facts, and reasoning irom analogy,
ill seize at once everv fortuitous circum
stance to eradicate whatever it hurtful to hit
soil or hit crops, and at the tame tune tin
prove hit soil and hit mind.
The educated farmer stands, in point of
character, practical usefulness and personal
independence, loremnst among nis leuow
mrn. Well might the drones of the hive,
tnd painted butter flirt $f fashion, emulate
hit example, and Leave to posterit) the con
soling idea that they, too, had been useful.
NEW VARIETIES Of Bt'OAR CANE.
. Mr. Leonard Wrsr. of Nattl. South Afri
ca, recently communicated In tht New York
farmers' Club some very interesting facts
concerning various specie ol tmphrt, or st-
gar plant, (including theVhinese sugar cane,)
whiib he discovered trowing wiiii upon me
! touthwgtl coast ol Caflrtf ia, and to intioduct
th cultivation of the best varieties for which
he has visited this country, at the invitation
of the Governor of one of the Southern States,
la the locality where the imptee was discover
ed it is in common use by the natives as an
article of food. Mr. Wt-ay obtained sixteen
kinds, of greater or less cacckarine richness.
Their names are given as follows; Neear.a
as, Geiuseana, Buomvevaaa.Shlageova, Slila
gotwlee, Yimbischuapa, Eanamoodee, Zini

South, and some uf them will give two lull
crops. '
lie liAdiuo'rrirlr thesj, ssls ! In
! fn i eiiuil to bouthern cane, anil to oe
greedily eaten by every description of stock.
Mr. W. has led his horses, came, anupigs
on them. 1 heir seed are valuable at leeu
for fowls, and excellent bread has been made
from the African varieties. Ihelhinese is
not so good for this purpose, owing to the
bitter pellicle which surround the teed. The
seed has also a greater yalus for the manu
facture of starch, yielding forty-five per cent,
of that article.
regard to the density of the tap, Mr.
Wrav stated that a trial had been made in
Martiniiiue. upon the estate of the Count de
Chazelle, to decide the comparative densities
of the sugar canes from the celebrated Grand
J ere ilis tries and ol Air. w ray's ttnpnet$,
both of which had been-growirby the Count.
The remit was that the latter showed a den
sitv superior to the former by three and one.
baff decrees. The sucar cane gave seven
degrees Baume, and the imphte ten and a
half ilegrees. The quantity of juice to be
ebtainetl from the ttalkt depends much upon
he power of the mill. Under favorable cir
cumstances sewnty percent, may be calcu
lated upon, of which seventeen prrcent. will
be crystallized sugar. Mr. Wray estimates
tjie quantity of sugar at three thousand pound
per acre, but botli quantity and quality art
ih a measure controlled by the perfection or
imperfection of processes of manufacture.
MANuracTvaiKO in Tag South. A letter
from one of the upper counties of Georgia
gives a most flattering account of cotton
manufacturing in that Mate. Many of these
factories were established some yeart since,
and even at the present high prices of the
staple are paying the stockholders handsome
dividends, seldom, if ever, falline below 20
per cent. The yarns and osnaburgs are of
the first quality, and a better description of
jcattoe being used in their manufacture, they
nnd a mere ready tale in Baltimore, Phila
delphia, New York, and Boston than similar
psJstof Kaarem wills. Cith cheap to-
right in the midst of the cotton-crowing
region, illimitable water power, and the most
agreeable climate in the world, there is no
reason why all the Southern States should
nf lut filled with the most flourishing mnntt
factories of this kind. Aofcics Cwrritr.

He next passed to the consideration of the
American Revolution, that " spectacle of un

There are those who assert that no meet
ing was held in Charlotte on the 19th and
author Ma v. 1775. and no DecUration ol
Independence then and there made ; but that
a meeting was held on the 30th of May in
that year, in which rertain resolution were
adopted, and this constitutes the only action
of the people of Mecklenburg during May,

On the other hand the Legislature of N.
Carolina affirmed, and the people of the State
have concurred in that affirmation, that there
irai a meeting held in Charlotte on the IDth
ami 20th days of May, I "3 ; that certain re
solutions declaring intirpcimeiicc, ajuriiig
allegiance to the Hritish'crown, ami claiming
the riirht of self government, were then and

Dr. If. ttsted tint there were certain factt
connected with the paper made in Mecklen

spective of itt content!, which were establish

1. Whatever paper was prepared was made
when the newt had just been received in
Charlotte of the battle of Lexington i tnd the
people assembled in the town were greatly
excited by the intelligence.

Hie document ha been repeatedly de-j

These were tacts connected with Ihe mak

particulars tlt;t document was utterly iirc.

printed copy from the letter of intelligence

Inn reached Chirlotte tin the night of the 1 8tk
of May, or rather early in the morning of the
I'lib gli.it month, in lira. TUl fact,
tliereloie, did not harmonize with the claim
made for the document of the 30th.
. 2. The paper was made in responseto the
people's rail, "let ui be independent." Dr.
II. argued on tlie improbability that in an
swer to uck a call made by an excited rnul
titutlc, a paper would be prepared which
should contain nothing about independence,
and yet that the people should be satisfied
with it as a Declaration of Independence.
This fiict, therefore, did not seem to agree
with the claim made for the document of the
30th, which was jest such as is above des
cribed. ....
3. There was a large assembly of the peo
ple of the county in Charlotte whew the pa
per was prp;ired, and this assemblage con
tinued lor part of two days, tome of the
wotk having been done in the intervening
mailt.
Dr. II. then asked what there was in the
document of the 30th, or what evidence had
ever been produced from any source to show
that the meeting ol the 30th sat slso an either
the 29th or 31st of May? What proof that
any woik was done at night? vhat proof
that there was any assemblage ol the people
of the county at all on or about the SOtls?
what evidence Irom the document itself, or
from any other source, that any gentlemen
of the county met in Charlotte on that day.
except the gentlemen ol the Uommitteef Ihe
answer was, that on alt those points not' a
particle of testimony had ever been produced
to sustain them. 1 his lact, therefore, seem
ed inconsistent with the claim made for the
document of the 30th.
4. 5. The next known facts were, the doc.
ument prepared was publicly read by Col.
Thomas Polk, and that itt contentt were
preserved at the time, both in writing am? in
memory by tome of those present who heard'
it. ow, lien, urahain, Kev. n. iiunier
and Col. William Polk, of Raleieh, (three
more respectable and credible witnesses ne
ver lived tny where.) were all present, all
heard the paper read, all remembered itt tub-
tsnss, Wa.U ImU Bmmm a. -a m .. . S.. . ....
at the 20th, and copied the paper read at th
time; ami what they remembered and what
they copied, did not contain one particle of
the document of the 30th ; bat a totally dif
ferent paper. Nor, of all those present who
heard the paper read, was there, ever found
(Hie who retained in memory at what he then
heard, the paper of the 30th ; while I great
many did remember a totally different docu
ment at what they then heard. This fact,
therefore, dot not agree with the claim set
up for the paper of the 30th.
6. The last fact alluded to was that the
document read, according to the testimony ol
some twenty witnesses, did contain three
most important particulars, expressly aud
unequivocally announced j these were, Itt,
renunciation of allegiance ; 2d, a declaration
of independence ; and 3d", the right of self
government. Now, an inspection ot the doc
ument ol the 30th will show, that in it, the
two particulars first named are not explicitly
declared, and the last is not named at all.
Hut it declare itt object to be limpljr re
gulating the jnrinpntdentt of the province.'
From the inconsistency of all these facta
with the paper of the 30th, Ur. II. inferred
that if the case stopped here, if there were
nn further nritof behind, one Would be justi
fied in ty ing that the paper of tlie 30th could
not be the document reierreu to in
facts above siatjd j and therefore, we Plight
safely lay it at dc.
direct raoor.
Having thus removed lor the present the
document of the 30lh out of his path, to re
turn hereafter to an analysis of it. Dr. II.
entered on Ihe direct affirmative testimony,
which went to show what the document put
forth by the Mecklenburg men as a dctlara
lion nf indtptn ltnet that deserved the name,
and what the dale at which they issued it.
In this part of his argument he took up the
following fact, adding the proof for each at
he proceeded.

art bound therefore to believe there was such
a meeting. Now if thit be to,. it must iaevi
lably follow that if any paper wat prepared
and read at that meeting, it could not har.beeit
one whii h by its own date (May 30th) shows
it must have been made ten days afterward.
The only issue then to which we art brought
in tint stage ol the discussion ia raised by
