The governor has also issued ford in the south, and thereby secure the election to Mr. Adams. This gentleman at that period was supposed to he in the confidence of general Jackson. From the complimentary toasts given Mr. Adams at Jackson dinners, and other circumstances, I supposed an intimate, personal and political friendship existed between those gentlemen-and I gave credit to the representative from Kuox County, who acquired much credit among the common friends of those distinguished men for the movement. I have since heard that a member from Davidson county claimed a part of this honor. Whether this claim is well founded, I cannot decide. But from circumstances, I believe the Knox member is best entitled to the credit of this movement. General Jackson and Mr. Adams ran in concert in some of the states. This aided, in some degree, to prostrate their competitors. When this was done, and the choice was to be made between them, Iexpected what has happened, a difference would arise. During the canvass, it was alledged that their politics were the same-whether that is the case now I am unable to determine. Principles and not men, is my creed. I will commit myself to support no system of politics which my judgment does not approve. If there is a new political creed it has not been published, and the people have a right to know in what it consists. One thing is certain that Mr. Crawford's character was violently assailed-he was represented as being dishonest-that he had robbed the treasury of a vast amount, and his political friends

The long and disastrous struggle between England and France with regard to their North American colonies was closed by the capture of St. Johns Newfoundland, and the few remaining places in possession of the French. by the British forces under col. Amherst, in the autumn of 1762. In Febuary 1763, the treaty of peace and friend. ship between Britain, France, and Spain, was made at Paris. By that treaty, all the French possessions of N. America were ceded to the English government. One of the first steps of the British ministry was, of course, to settle the boundaries, between the late possessions and their other colonics. In pursuance of this, in October of the last mentioned year, the king issued his proclamation fixing those boundaries.-The expressions of the proclamation were, according to the late Quebec Gazette; the line, "crossing the river St. Lawrence and lake Cham plain, or fifty degrees of north latitude, passing along the highlands which divide the rivers that empty themselves in the said river St. Lawrence, from those which fall into the seas: and also along the coast of the bay of Chalures and the coast of the gulph of St. Lawrence to cape Rosiers.”

At all events, I think it evident to common sense, that had it been in tended to make so important an alteration in our territorial limits, it would have been a subject of a seperate article in the treaty, and not smuggled in by the mere use of words "Atlantic ocean," instead of the term "seas" of the proclamation.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, September 6, 1827. SIR: The president is desirous of causing to be introduced into the United States all such trees and plants from other countries, not heretofore known in the United States, as may give promise, under proper cultivation, of flourishing and becoming useful, as well as superior varieties of such as are already cultivated here. To this end I have his directions to address myself to you, invoklug your aid to give effect to the plan that he has in view. Forest trees useful for timber; grain of any description; fruit trees; vegetables for the table; esculent roots; and, in short, plants of whatever nature, whether useful as food for man or the domestic animals, or for purposes connected with manufactures or any of the useful arts, fall within the scope of the plan proposed. A specification of some of them, to be had in the country where where you reside, and believed to fall under one or other of the above heads, is given at the foot of this letter, as samples merely, not being intended to exclude, others, of which you yourself may have knowledge, or be able, an inquiry, to obtain knowledge. With any that you may have it in your power to send, it will be desirable to send such notices of their cultivation and natural history as may be attainable in the country to which they are indigenous; and the following questions are amongst those that will indicate the particulars concerning which information may be sought:

1. The latitude and soil in which the plant most flour

Directions for putting up and transmitting seeds and
plants.
[Accompanying the letter of the secretary of the treasury,
of Sept. 6, 1827.]

With a view to the transmission of seeds from distant countries, the first object of care is to obtain seeds that are fully ripe, and in a sound and healthy state. To this the strictest attention should be paid, otherwise, all the care and trouble that may be bestowed on them will have been wasted on objects utterly useless.

Those seeds that are not dry when gathered, should be rendered so by exposure to the air in the shade. When dry, the seeds should be put up into paper bags. Common brown paper has been found to answer well for making such bags. But, as the mode of manufacturing that paper varies in different countries, the precaution should be used of putting a portion of the seeds in other kinds of paper. Those that most effectually exclude air and moisture, are believed to be the best for that purpose. It would be proper, also, to enclose some of the seeds in paper or cloth that has been steeped in melted beeswax. It has been recommended that seeds collected in a moist country, or season, be packed in charcoal. After being put up according to any of these modes, the seeds should be enclosed in a box, which should be. covered with pitoh, to protect them from damp, insects and mice. During the voyage they should be kept in a cool, airy, and dry situation; not in the hold of the ship.

The oily seeds soonest lose their germinating faculty. They should be put in a box with sandy earth, in the forfowing manner-first, about two inches of earth at the bottom; into this the seeds should be placed, at distances about an inch thick; and then another layer of seeds, and so proportionate to their size; on these another layer of earth 3.

box should then be covered with a close net work of

pitched, so as to admit the air without exposing the contents of the box to be disturbed by mice or accident. The seeds thus put up will germinate during their passage, and will be in a state to be planted immediately on their arrival.

Although some seeds, with a hard shell, such as nuts, peaches, plums, &c. do not come up until a long time after they are sown, it would be proper, when the kerne! is oily, to follow the method just pointed out, that they may not turn rancid on the passage. This precaution is also useful for the family laurels, (laurine), and that of myrtles, (myrti), especially when they have to cross the equatorial seas.

minating state inay be exposed during a long voyage, and, To guard against the casualties to which seeds in a ger." as another means of ensuring the success of seeds of the kinds here recommended to be put into boxes with earth, it would be well also to enclose some of them, (each seed separately), in a coat of beeswax, and afterwards pack them in a box covered with pitch.

In many cases it will be necessary to transmit roots. Where roots are to be transmitted, fibrous roots should be dealt with in the manner therein recommended for young plants. Bulbous and tuberous roots should be put into boxes in the same manner as has already been recommended for oleagenous seeds; except, that, instearl of earth, dry sand, as free as possible from earthy par ticles, should be used. Some of the bulbous and tuberous roots, instead of being packed in sand, may be wrapped in paper, and put in boxes covered with petwork or laths. Roots should not be put in the same box with seeds.

The president will hope for your attention to the objects of this communication as far as circumstances will allow; and it is not doubted but that your own public feelings will impart to your endeavors under it, à zeal proportioned to the beneficial results, to which the cominunication looks. It is proper to add, that no expense tan at present be authorized in relation to it. It is possible, however, that congress may not be indisposed to provide a small fund for it. The seeds, plants, cuttings, or whatever other germinating substance you may transmit, must be addressed to the treasuary department, and sent to the collector of the port to which the vessel conveying them is destined, or where she may arrive, accompanied by a letter of advice to the department. The secretary of the navy has instructed the commanders of such of the public vessels of the United States as may ever touch Where the seeds of plants cannot be successfully transyour port, to lend you their assistance towards giving mitted, they may be sown in boxes, and sent in a vegetat cffcct to the objects of this communication; as you will ing state.

ments in the box. In either case they should be properly marked, and referred to in the descriptive notes which accompany them.

When plants cannot be propagated from seeds with a certainty of their possessing the same qualities which long culture or other causes may have given them, they may be sent in a growing state. For this purpose, they should be taken up when young. Those, however, who are acquainted with their cultivation in the countries where they grow, will know at what age they may be safely and advantageously removed. They may be transplanted direct into the boxes in which they are to be conveyed; or, where that cannot be conveniently done, they may be taken up with a ball of earth about the roots, and the roots of each surrounded with wet moss, carefully tied about it to keep the earth moist. They may afterwards be put into a box and each plant secured by laths fastened crosswise above the roots; and the interstices between the roots filled with wet moss. The same methods may be observed with young grafted or budded fruit trees.

It is not intended, however, by these instructions, to exclude the adoption of any other modes of putting up and transmitting seeds and plants, which are in use in any particular place, and which have been found successful, especially if more simple. And it is recommended, not only that the aid of competent persons be accepted in procuring and and putting up the seeds and plants, but that they be invited to offer any suggestions in regard to the treatment of the plants during the voyage, and their cultivation and use afterwards.

HARRISBURG CONVENTION.
PROCEEDINGS CONTINUED.

Boxes for the conveyance of plants, or of seeds that are sown, may be made about two feet broad, two feet deep, and four feet long, with small holes in the bottom, covered with a shell, or piece of tile, or other similar substance, for letting off any superflous water. There should be a layer of wet moss of two or three inches deep at the bottom, or, if that cannot be had, some very rotten wood or decayed leaves, and upon that, about twelve inches depth of fresh loamy earth, into which the plants that are to be transplanted should be set. The The cotton manufacture in the United States has surface of the earth should be covered with a thin layer advanced with irresistible energy, being protected of moss, cut small, which should be occasionally washed by the national government, to the incalculable advanin tresh water during the voyage, both to keep the sur-tage of all parties-planters, manufacturers and farface moist, and to wash off mouldiness, or any saline particles that may be on it.

When the boxes are about to be put on board the ship, hoops of wood should be fastened to the sides, in such a manner, that arching over the box, they may cover the highest of the plants; and over these should be stretched a net work of pitched cord, so as to protect the plants from external injury, and prevent the earth from being disturbed by mice or other vermin.

To each box should be fastened a canvass cover, made to go entirely over it, but so constructed as to be easily put on or off, as may be necessary to protect the plants from de salt water, or winds, and sometimes from the sunshine. Strong handles should be fixed to the boxes, that they may be conveniently moved.

The plants and seeds that are sown, will occasionally require watering on the voyage; for which purpose rain water is best. If, in any special case, particular instructions on this point, or upon any other connected with the management of the plants during the voyage, be necessary, they should be made known to those having charge of the plants. But, after all, much will depend upon the judicious care of those to whom the plants may be confided during the voyage.

Plants of the succulent kind, and particularly of the caccus family, should not be planted in earth, but in a mixture of dry sand, old time, rubbish, and vegetable mould, in about equal parts, and should not be watered.
