Volatile ./lromatic Head-Jlclic Smi_fi'.
Prepared by ‘John I’. W/zz':well,C_l.1emist and ‘Drug-
gist-—BOSt0n. (Composed principally of Roots
and Aromaticl-lerbs)—-Patented and warranted.
E\V or none of. the Snuffs in ordinary use,
unite those advantages as an elegant sternu-
tatory, which Tobfacco, combined with other in-
_gredients, is capable of producing. Tlte‘common
Scotch snuff is not only destitute of fine flavor
but is universally allowed to be injurious to the
head and stomach, and sooner or later affects the
transparency and color of the skin. The coarse
black snuifs, instead of clearing and stimulating
the olfactoi'y nerves, serve but to obstruct and
deaden them : and in process of time, by stop-
ping the passages, has an evident effect upon the
speech. T/re Volatile Aromatic -Sm1_p“will, by ex-
perience, be found not liable to these ol)Ject:.0ns--
its flavor is fragrant and delightful—-the effect
pleasing and salut-ary—it opens and purges the
liea:l——-sensibly stimulates the spirits, and re-
moves that drovvsioess which on some occasions
willprevail in spite of our utmost efforts to balilc
‘it. By repeated experiments, it is known to be of
essential service to those who are troubled with
long,dull, nervous head-aches, and will be found
far superior for this purpose to the Cephalic snuff.
In cases of catarrh or what is commonly called a
cold in the head, a pinch or two taken at night
on going to bed will, by moistening the mucus,
effectually remove all obstructions before morn-
ing. All those troubled with the liypochondtia
or vapors, will find in this chemical preparation a
complete antidote. All sedentary and -‘studious
persons of either sex will find by its occasional
use, a cheap and cheering relief from that lassi-
tude which invariably accompanies a long sitting
This snuff is well stopt in a
handsomesquare bottle made expressly for the
purpose, and which will be found to unite all the
advantages of a snuff Box.

G'crztlemen——Conscictis as I feel of the iiicoiit-
petence to the task allotted me, nothing--but..a .de-
ference tothe wishes of my friends unanimously
expressed, and an ardent desire to_:promote' the
- objects of our institutiomcould induce me to claim
for a moment the attention of gentlemen whose
occupation and pursuits have given them superi-
or advantages, and furnished them with a better
knowledge on those subjects, than has fallen to
my share. But not to detain you with apology
"permit me to obs.erve,t hat when we see ourneighe
bors in this and the adjacent states, alive to simi-
lar association's, when the objects of them ,have
been so often and so well explained, and when
experiment, the test of truth, and which soofien
proves the fallacy of visionary theories has estab-
lished their utility, can there be any. reason as-
signed why the inhabitants of this county should
hesitate for a moment to avail themselves of such
a privilege? It is indeed well known that infant
institutions, however valuable, have their oppo-
mi‘-s ; liiat obstacles arising from education, pas-
sion and prejudice must of necessity be encoun-
tered : but is it not as well to know, that when
met with. firmness, patience, and perseverance,
they may be overcome? The truth is, to expect
assistance from every man is unreasonable. The
frailty and irnperfcciion of ‘human nature forbids
the hope, Many are incapable of becoming pub-
lic benefactors by nature, and more by .choice.—-
,Among the latter may be ranked such as have
the means of doing good had they the disposition
to etnploy them; but rendered gfieminate by
luxury, overpowered by sloth, or enchained by
avarice, when solicited to engage in a generous
and praise-wor'thy.,.project, never fail to see, if
they do not exclaim, there is a lion in the way I
To the same useless and insignificant class, we
I may refer the idler and the tipler. ‘whose tetnples
are the ta,verri,‘and ardent spirits the object of
their idolatroos worship. To such men we are
not to look ; from such beings we are not to hope
for aid in the prosecution of any business which
requires patriotic feelings, generous sentiments,
or manly and liberal efforts. .1\‘o. my friends, if
' 4::-or society ii<;T:ds support,-we-must seek to obtain
it from a nobler, ptjouder, better source, 'VVe
must apply to men, liberal and patriotic ; men of
understanding, energy -and tnterprize; of plain
sound intellect, not too wise to seek information,
not slaves to prejudice, such as are capable of
perceiving the wants, and desirous in every lauda-
ble way of relieving the necessities and ameliora-
ting the condition, not of themselves only, but of
their children, their neighbors, and their country.
VVith the aid of such characters, by the help of
their united efforts, can this society fail to grow,
to flourish, to extend its salutary influence, to dis-
countenance and bring into contempt,idleness and
vice; to discourage and patronize industry and
vit'tue,and be the means,witli the blessing ofheav.
en, ofdimioishing the wants, alleviating the mis-
eries, and increasing the felicity of our fellow-
men. And shall we not have their aid 5‘ Having
put our hand to the plough must we look back 3‘
Shall it be said-that in this county, there is a
dearth of genius and talent; 8. poverty of spirit
unknown in other places ? That on an extensive
territory, with a healthy climate, happily situated,
a soil in fertility seldom surpassed, and advanta-
. ges rarely equalled, there cannot be found wis-
dom to discern the value, or energy to carry into
effect the objects of this institution; butllke a
tender plant in a sterile soil, for want of nutrition,
is doomed to wither in the bud and never come to
maturity ? Are motives wanting for exertion 3--
Do we wish to see our sons and daughters settled
-around us, to watch our declining years, and per-
form for us the last offices of humanity, and shall
we adopt no measures to enliven and cheer their
prospects here, but~sufl'er them in the morning of
places for remote, whence they seldom ever re-
turn? VVe are daily witnesses of the rage for
emigration, and cannot be ignorant of the reasons
generally assigned. But is the fact so, th_at.in
this state industry cannot lind employment, or ag-
riculture‘ encouragement, for want ofa sufiicien-‘
cy of lands for cultivation ? In my opinion the re-,
verse is the case. Take this county for an exam-
ple, examine it, and we shall find more land en-
tirely unproductive or nearly so, than would be
necessary, properly managed, to furnish employ-
ment and yield support "to double the nutnber of
its present inhabitants. Add to this, those farms
which are cultivated to little effect, notwithstand-
lug aspit-it of improvement is gaining ground,
and we shall find that it is not the s'carcity of land,
but the want of propertillage. that has operated
as a discouragement to young men of energy and
eiiterpt-izc,‘an’d driven them to climes less healthy
in search of sustenance, or to swell their number
of acres. Do we want proof of these facts ? may
I not refer each to his own knowledge? Who of
us has not seen thousands of acres, where the bri-
ar and the bi-arnble remain uhmolested ; and
swamps that might be rendered valuable, now the
receptacles of stagnantwaters, fruitful indeed in
the production of weeds or miserable grass, and
not less so in the propagation‘, ofppoisonous rep-
tiles and putrid exhalations ? Who of us has not
noticed acres, arid ‘and dry, which might with lit-
tle pains and a trifling expensci be irrigated {Wm
neighboring streams. and clothed with verdure?
May I not be permitted to add, without offence,

abundant. His granaries are filled, what_ev_er_ he
does prospers, and plenty rewards his toil; in a
word, he niakeshis-fortune. . - » .
Vvjth such examples before us, can it be be-
llevcjtl, that the scarcity of land is the pmcipal
cause for. emigration i"O_r can we fail tosee that
every effort, ‘which . has a tendencyto aid _or en-

ask, presents itself more feasible than an attention
to husbandry and manufactures in good earnest.
If an enlightened and practical farmer, by careful
and judicious management, can with less labor
and expense than formerly double his crop on.tFfe
same. extentof ground, the surplus beyond his
own consumption will_of course be doubled, and
although it should command but half the war
price by the hundred or bushel in market, his in-
come will suffer no diminution. and he may meet
his engagements without feeling the pressure of
the times. That industry and skill can accom-
plish this, scarcely admits ofa doubt. But I'have
trespassc_tl on your patience too long, and will only
observe, my firm persuasion is, that a steady pros-
e_cution_of the objects of thisassociation, by dif-

may in a great measure mitigate, if not entirely
