HAYTI, NO. IV.
Slate of .flgrt'cttlfure.—-’I'lie productions of
the Island which are cultivated for exporta-
tion,~are cotton, tobacco, cocoa, and cotl'ec.——
Coffee is the staple article. Tobacco, to a.
very considerable amount, and ofa very ex-
cellent quality, is cultivated in the vicinity of
Santiago, and exported at Fort Platt. A
principal part is taken to Cuba, and there re-
sold as Havana. Cocoa is cultivated princi-
pally in the south and west part ofthelslaud.
but not in great quantities. Cotton grows to
some extent in the vicinity ofPort art Prince,
and of St. Marks, and in larger quantities at
Gonaives. The amount exported, however,
is small, and thcculturc is so much neglected,
that only a small part ofthat which grows is
gathered. Sugar, which was formerly one of
the principal articles of export from the Isl-
and, is not now made in sufficient quantities
for home consumption. This article, as well
as rum and molasses, bears a higher price
than in the United States, as the lu=portalion
ofthem is prohibited. Rice is cultivated, but
not in sufiicient quantities for home consump-
tion: it was at one time imported from the
United States, but is now excluded by a new
regulation ofthe tariff. Indigo was formerly
cultivated, and the vats are still remaining in
many places, but the culture is now wholly
neglected. The great article which is raised
for exportation is coffee, and this in far less
quantities than formerly. The quantity of
fruit raised for exportation is small, and the
cultivation has been so much ncglccted,that
the quality is said now to be inferior to thatof
the fruits of other islands. Indian corn is
raised in all parts, but in small quantities, and
only for _the purpose of feeding poultry -and
rattle. ' Its price, I found, was every where
high ;-say from fifty cents to a dollar the
bushel. Swectpotatoes, turnips, on_ions,beans,
-.:nelous, and all kinds of vegetables found in
our kitchen gardens, are cultivated to some
extent, but in all their markets bear a high
price compared with that of the same articles
in the United States. The plantain is the
principal article of food for the great mass of
the people. It is easily cultivated, and the
quantity of nourishment which can be derived
from an acre, when planted with this vegeta-
ble, is surprisingly great'* At the same time
the price which it bears makes the yearly value
ofan acre from one to‘ two thousand dollars.
From these facts it will be inferred that ag-
riculture is in a low state. It is so in every
part ofthe Island which I visited, and I was
informed that all other parts were in the same
situation. It is just in that state in which atl-
versitics like those which have attended the
Island the last 80 years would" naturally place
it. Considering these advcrsities, it is rather
a cause for surprisethat itis in so good a state
than that it is no better.
It is more than thirty years since the revo-
lution commenced, and during this whole pe-
riod all the principal men have been compel-
led to devote their principal attention to de-
fence. The great mass ofthe men have been
constantly under arms, and they have been so
constantly thinned by '1 ar that it is now es-
timated there are three lernales to one male
throughout the Island. Tire cities and platit-
ations‘ have been burnt time after time ;, the
country has several times been invaded by
the French, and _t'rll this year constantly
tlueatened with invasion. The plan of de-
fence against invasion, adopted long before
the burning ofhloscow, and more than once
acted upon, has uuiformlybeeu to burn every
tiring on the coast and plains," cities, villages,
and plantations, and retire to the mountains.
In addition to the calatnities of foreign war,
the Island hasrsuffered much from civil dis-
sensions. For a long time it was divided into
"three parts, the Republic in the south-west,
Christopbe’;_s kingdom inthe north.-west, and
Spanish St, Dorriingo, comprising three-fifths
of the whole, in the east. These different
districts were constantly in a state of hostili-
tics till the union ofthe whole underthe pres-
cnt govertiriterit three years since. In such
"‘ domboldt says ‘an acre of plantains will
yield as much ngurfsltutent as 25 acres wheat,
a state of things it would have been impossi-
ble for agrioultttre to flourish, ifthere had
beennothing in the previous condition of the
people t‘ofhinder its prosperity. or the for-
mer state of slavery produced also a powerful
effect. After the people had broken their
yoke of bondage, they very nattIrally'bebaII_18
averse to engaging in those erriployrnents, ill
the prosecution of which they had before been
subject to so many galling miseries. These
things account for the fact that the sugar cane
has_bee'n almost wholly neglected, and that
coffee is now the principal article of ‘export.
The cane grows in the plains, and the Illl.lllU-
facture of the sugar would not only have re-
quired a great capital but the severest efforts
ofthe laborer. The coffee grows.0n the lulls
and mountairis-, and its cultivation imposed
fewer hardships. Duriuglhe war, the invest-
tnent ofcapital in sugar plantations would of
course have been deemed extremely hazard-
otts, even ifthc prejudices of the people had
not rendered it difficult to obtain the necessa-
ry laborers. The war drove the people to the
mountains, and they there naturally engaged
in the cultivation of coffee because itcould
be carried on without hazard and with com-
paratively little labor. But the war could not
devastate and destroy all agriculture in the
plains without carrying its deadly influence
into the mountains. The whole, therefore,
has languished, and for thirty years this most
fruitful and delightful I.<land,one of the fittest
on our globe, has lain in degradation. The
only thing to cheer the sight was the tree of
its growing independence. France had not
the magnanitnity openly to relinquish what
she long since knew she could never retain
' but by promoting treachery, and by commit-
ting the tnost horrid atrocities. Other nations
have been so blinded to justice by their long
course ofinjury anti crime toward the unhap-
py offspring of Africa, as to stand by and see
France, time after time, attempt these atroci-
ties, while they have never afforded the least
succor to the oppressed, and to this day have
not had thejusttce to acltnmvletige the indo-
pendence ofa people who have shown and
still show that they are in the fullest possession
ofit; for tliey have maintained it and the
government oftheir own establisiunent in the
face ofthe most powerful efforts to overthrow
both.-—-The troubled state ofthe Island oc-
casioned a heavy burden of labour to be
thrown on the female sex. The men being
called to the army, the females were under
the necessity notonly of cultivating the land,
but of a-ttcnrling to all the concerns of provid-
lug for the family, the sale of what was raised
for market, and the purchase ofthe foreign
articles of consumption. The battles which
occasioned the destruction of so many of the
men,antl produced the great disproportion
between the sexes which still exists,constantly
increased the necessity. The consequence
is, that throughout the Island the women per-
form the priucipal part ofthe labor in the field
anti in the house. The markets are tltronged
with females, and the sight is constantly pre-
sented in the roads leading to the market
towns, of women, sometimes driving their as
ses, turtles, horses or cattle, loaded with coffee
or other produce, and sometimes carrying the
lrad on their own hearis. And often not only
the poor beast is loaded down to the full ex-
tent of his strength, but its driver, a poor fo-
malc, shares the same lot and is compelled‘
not only to manage the beast,-but to carry an
additional load on her own head. I was often
moved with pity for their lot, altho’ I rejoiced
that the burden was now voluntary, and ad-
mired the spirit of women who could so read-
ily perform the work ofthe men that the men
may be employed in the,defencc and preserv-
ation oftheir liberties.
The ruodeof culture which cruel slavery
every where imposes upon its victims, increa-
ses the burden of agricultural labor, and this
burden still continues to be felt in Ilayti, al
though the slavery which at first occasioned
it is abolished. Slaves have no interest in the
preservation ofthe tools they use for labor.-
Hence it becomes necessary to put into their
hands only a few tools, and those of: coarse
and very strong structure. Under the influ-
ence of the slave driver’s whip they are com-
pelled to exhaust their strength in wielding
awkward, heavy utensils, which the‘ freemen
ofour northern states would not use for a mo-
ment. This is seen in our southern states
where the clumsy structure ofthe scythes and
hoes strikes a northern farmer ullll surprise,
till he tecollects there is no (:llt)l'.:0’all0\\’e‘(l to
those who use thetn. In Hayti the old and
awkward methods ofcouducting agricultural
labour are still continued to a great extent.»-
Ploughs are scarcely known, and wheelsvery
little used for transportirig burdens. The
fields are dug up by a heavy hue, and the pro-
duce is carried to market almost wholly on
the backs ofanimals. The wood is brought
into the cities in the same manner. Carts
are used to some extent in the vicinity of the
large towns, but they have the awkward meth-
od of fastening the yoke to the horns of the
cattle, so that the animal can draw but little
more than he could carry, while the load is
rnttch more painful titan when suspended in
panniers on his back, as the yoke binds his
head in one position.
While such i's the present low and bad state
of agriculture, it is gratifying to know since
the union ofthe whole Island under the pres-
ent government, measures have been prose-
cuted to foster agriculture, particularly during
the past year, and that considerable improve
tneut is taking place. The present stability
ofthe government, and the high satisfaction
with its tneasures manifested by the people
throughout the Island, give the. promise of
great and rapid changes. Men of property
are feeling it to be more safe. to invest capital
in plantations, land is rising in value, and
more has been done during the past year to
put the land in a productive state than for ma_
ny years previous. Prospects ofcoutiuued
peace and prosperity are now fairer than ever.
and there can be little doubt that a few years
will show the vast sources of wealth which this
Island holds in her rich soil.
This makes-the present -the most eligible
time for emigration. ‘ ‘
.f1nimaI3.—The domestic animals raised in
the Island are horses,cattle, asses, mu|es,goats,
sheep,swine, dogs, and cats. The first four are
"used as beasts of burdeu,~ the cattle being used
for riding and carrying burdens on the backs
as well as the horses and mules. They are
all of a ‘very useful and hardy breed. The
horses are small In size ; t-he cattle are large.
is very seldom shorn. One feature, as; to
structure, prevails in all the auirnal kingdom
The sheep are used only for food,:rs their wool ‘
, .
and long boned. This is thecase even with
the human frame. Both males and females
are straight built, approaclnng to slender,
limbs long, and bodies seldom corpulent ; the
female, however, islarger in pro p0|‘U0" lllfln
the titan anti tuore athletic. This structure"
is-well adapted to agility and gracefulrnotion.
I was consequently struck with the quickness
and ease of motion in all the animal kingdom.
The very bat darts through the air with a ve-
locity never seen in our clitnate,aud the corn-
mon ant exhibits a like superior agility of ac-
tion. '1‘_his accounts for the velocity with
which Touissattt and other chiefs were able to
effect military movements——to-day here, to-
morrow 80 or 90 miles distant. Seventy ruiles
is but a common day's ride on horseback, and
the horse usually goesthis distance with but
little stopping, and_ refreshing with water and.
food but once. .
Poultry ofall kinds‘i§ raised in abundance
of an excellent quality. The wild animals
are very few. Those most numerous 8!. corn-
ruon in our forests are not known. Cattle
are wiltl in some parts ofthe island, and wild
hogs are very numerous in the ‘eastern part.
The reptiles and birds are not numerous. No
poisonous serpents are found, and very few
nfauy kinrl. Lizards are very numerous,but
there are no alligators.
The tarantula is found, and other species
ofthe spider are numerous. But few of our
troublesome flies disturb comfort, and in a
great portion ofthe island the mosquito net is
not necessary for nightly repose. I seldom
used it at Port au Priuce—not at all at Port
Flatt and other places.
The tortoise, whose shell is an article of
commerce, is‘ abundant. Other species of
tortoises also abound. Scorpions and centi-
pedes are found, but are not numerous.
Minerals.—~Tlre mineral kingdom is not
extensive. . Litue-stone ofan excellent quali-
ty is very abundant in all parts of the Island
which I visited. Volcanic productions are
seen in many places, and the precious metals,
with many of the precious stones. But the
gov’t does not encourage working the mines.
The botanical kingdom is most luxuriant
and extensive. One French botanist a few
years since sent home 23,000 plants ofdiffer-
e_nt kinds from this island. L. D. DEWEY.

Leonard Bacon.
Now, what one is there among _vou, my
hearers, who needs to be informed that these
fifty millions ofimmortal beings, thus brought
down to the very level ofthe brutes that per-
ish, have a claim upon the s_vmp:ithies of
Christians? Do you find it difficult to con-
ceive oftheir condition? It isjnst what yours
would be, ifall the arts, anti knowledge, and
refinement ofour land were to -vanish, and
the darkness of paganism were to settle on all
the shrines ofour devotion. It is just what
it must be, V\ here treachery and lust are un-
forbiddeu, where rapiue anti murticr are un-
restrained, and where all the horrors ofa sav-
age warfare are perpetual.
, Yes, in Africa the horrors ofsavage warfare
are perpetual. Not that these tribes are cre-
ated with a peculiar ferocity of disposition:
so far frotn it, their nature seems to possess
an uncommon share of what is mild and ami-
able. And yet, you might traverse the whole
regipn ofmiicli ,_I speak, and you would find
it,'rn all its dictricts, a theatre oftcrror, flight,
couflagration, mprder, and whatever is still
more dreadful in earthly suffering. You
might come to one place, where there was a
village yesterday, and find only its smoking
ruins, and the calcined bones of its murdered
population. You might pass on to another,
and think that here there must be peace, but
while the inhabitants are beginning to gather
around you, with a timid curiosity, there is an
outcry of al'1rm—-the foe is upon thern-—their
houses are in flames-—their old rneu are smit-
ten with the sword—-their infants are thrown
to the tigers, and their young men are swept
ll'il0 captivity. You might follow the captives“
weepiug——blecdiug—-to the sea-shore ; and
there is the slave ship. We have heard ofthe
slave trade, and ofits abolition ; anti we have
been accustomed to regard it as rt thing of
other years. We have heard that 80 years a-
go, the slave trade did exist, and its existence
was the fnulest blot upon the picture of our
world. We rave heard that those who have
been laboring for the abolition ofthis traffic,
have gained many a signal triumph over the
obstinacy ofthe interested, and the prejudices
ofthe ignorant ; so that now, the two ruost
enlightened and commercial nations of the
worlil, who have one origin, one language,
one religion, and we tnight also say one free-
dom, are also united in declaring the slave
trade piracy, and have thus denounced it be-
fore the world, as an outrage against the law
of nations and of nature. All this is true, and
a: the same time it is equally true, that the
slave trade, is carried on, at this hour, with a
cruelty, if possible, tuore intense and aggra-
vated. Every year'no less than sixty thousand
ofits victims are carried in chains across the
ocean. Now,while Iain speaking to this happy
assembly, there is weeping and latnerttatioii,
under the palm trees of Africa ; for mothers
have been plundered, oftheir children, and
will not be comforted. To day, the slave
ships are hovering over that devotedcoast,
frotu the Senegal to the Zaire. To night as
the African lies down in his cabin he will feel
no security ; and as he sleeps, he will dream
of couflagratiou and blood, till suddenly he
awakes, and his roofis blazing above him, his
wife is bleeding at his feet, his children lte
fettered and helpless before hiru,and ere he
can grasp the weapons of despair, the cold
steel ofthe murderer is in his vitals.
, REV. Mu. nerds Dtscouast-:._
The following is exrracted from a discourse
lately delivered at New York by the Rev.
Ric-ltard V. Dey, ofGreenfield, on the occa-
.-ion of the death ofhis grand-mother.
Speaking, in allusion to the deceased, of
the tenderness and constancy ofmatcrual af-
fection, he says:
“ What other friend has watched like her,
over the helple.~ts.aud uneasy hours of sickness
--borhe with its petulance--ministered to its
infirmitit2s——sootlted its patus-—-and stnootlied

the unfulfilment of hope,a,-nd the spirit droops »
when the storm hath no ralhbow,a'nd the ‘mid’-‘l
night hath no star..—where then are the flat-
terersofour cloudless skies and our sun-bright
hours ? When the schemes of earthly ambi-
tion fail, and the hiss ofthe multitude follows
our dmvn fall--whither have they departed P
Where is the shadow that attended us, when
the sun has veiled his beams ? Vlfhcre are the
summer birds, when the voice of winter sighs
in the leafless forests ?—'Alas! it’is".but inter-
est—or convenience-.—or habit-—-or fashion—'~
that preserves the friendship of mankind. If
we apply the test to their sincerity, how often
Will we find them true to their former profes-
sious? Their affection,eveu ifuudissembled,
is fickle and changeable; for their interests
are diverse from ours, their plans ofaggrand-
izcmeut or their viewsof gratification may
clash with our own ; and then farewell to con-
fidence aud kindness! Where are the friends
ofthis world, when the mouth of calumny has
breathed mildew 8:. pestilence over the proto-
ise of our growing reputation? Where are
they, when the taint ofworldly dishonottr has
fallen on our heads, and shame, whether de-
served or not,lias pointed us out for scorn and
mockery ?—The_v have gone to worship the
rising sun ; and left perhaps their fortner beu-‘
efactor to pine in gloomy solitude over their
iugratitudc, and to feel the billing memory of
“ benefits forgot."
“ For what is fricndshipbut tr name,
A charm that lulls to sleep ;
A shade that follows wealth and f.im‘e,
Then leaves the wrctch to weep.”
But the attachment of a mother, no change
oft .rtune——no loss ofinfluence——not even the
loss ofcharacter can destroy. As the triumph
of her children is her own, so is tlieirdownfnll,
and so is their dishonor. Her heart bleeds for
them instinctively ; her tears flow unbidden
for their sorrows. Hr-r eye follows them while
present, and her soul goes Wllll them while
absent. IrVith patience that nevertires, and
self denial that never ceases, she cheerfully
sacrifices for them her own comforts 8: pleas-
ures. Her sympathy is felt-—not obtrudcd;
ner consolation is never oflicious, and always
soothing to the spirit; her friendship is unal-
terable in life, and strong in death—antl she
breathes her last sigh in a prayer for the wel-
fare of her children.” '
[The orator in continuation ofthe subject-
after dwelling on the calm pleasbrcs which
we have enjoyed in the society of a mother",
and the consolation which has been given to
the heart. when in afliction by her cares and
contlolence,thus describes the emotions ofthe
child who has been bereft ufthat tenderest of
friends
“ Iletnernbrzrnce hovers over every incident,

presence gave life its charm :—That affection
which turned aside the arrows of misfortune
——tbat gentleness which alleviated the pangs
of distress——that tenderness which smoothed
the pillow of sickness—-that ltand which held
the aching head of paiu—tbat piety and that
sanctity which kindled in our heart the pure
flame ofdcvotion-——those smiles which beatn-
ed upon us, and ever the brightest when the
world was frowniug—und that uualterable
love which supported us amidst its unkind-
ness and ingrati'.ude—can these ever be for-
£0118“-L-Can we call to mind without deep
emotion the scenes ofthe death-chamber ?—
the beloved face fast fading at the touch of
tlissolution——the fond farewell—-the fervent
prayer for us which ceased but with parting
life ?—Callous and hardened must be the
heart of, that child, who can behold without
_nowerful emotion the memorials of a deceas
ed parent. No!-—the heart must swell and
the eye must weep, when we VlSll. that closet
where we conversed with God together, and
find itthe abode of solitude and desolation
of heart--when we look on the days that are
to come, and behold the dark current of ex-
istence strewed with the wreck of our broken
hopes and ruined schemes; and feel that we
must travel in loneliness along the path way
of being, bereft of those who, by sharing.
heightened our pleasures ;—and who, by di-
viding, alleviated our sorrows.”
PRESERVATION or-‘ HEALTH.
The following remarks fr. the Boston Medi-
cal Iutelligencer, deserve particular attention.
“People too often imagine there is danger
ofexposing themselves to the evening air of
summer, but this is in general a very unphi
losophical mistake: the tnore fully the body
is exposed to this pure and invigorating ele-
ment, the more healthy is the individual. If.
however, the atmosphere he too humid, pre-
cautionary measures are necessary. Ifthere
is as much exposure ot'the body as sound and
uninterrupted health always requires, it would
be exceeding difficult to fake a cold. Most of
the eastern nations have been in the habit, fr.
time immemoriakofslecpmg upon their house
tops ;yet a cold is scarcely kuowu,in the mod
ern acceptation ofthe word,even on the banks
ofthe Nile.
Were people tnore in the habit of admitting
the air to circulate freely in their sleeping
rooms at all seasons of the year,the advantage
would soon be manifest. Unfortunately, we
are todmuch governed by prejudice in all our
common maxims of health, and place too
much confidence in the whims of Valetutlinu-
rians. There is no way of maintaining a nat-
urally good comtitution, like breathing the
air as it comes, winter Est. summer ; but when-
ever a person attempts to be very careful a-
bout exposures, he may begin to look out for
the first symptoms of some chronic malady.
Laborers, however exposed, either in mire or
water, rarely suffer from those affections of
lungs and liver, which are the constant tor-
mentors ofthose who are forever doing some-
thing to keep themselves from being sick.”

HE high reputation that Arrnt*.nsoN’:3
Couott Doors and PRCTORAL Pm??-
DI-IRS have gained for Coughs and other of-
fections of the breast autlluugs leatlihg td
consutuprion, renders it unnecessary to say
much in recommending them to the public;
as no stronger proof of their possessing un-’
common virzues could be given than will lie’
found by reading the certificates accompany-
ing each bottle, given by those of the first re-
spectabi lity, who have used them in cases of
long standing ; anti somevofthetn, where their
physicians had given them ‘up as past recove-
ry, have been entirely restored by the use of
this medicine. The fact thatthey have now
been in use six years,and thatthe demand the
present season has been much greater than at
any former period is also a strong argument
in their favour. Thousands have shortened
their days by neglected Coughs when first at-
tacked, which have soon terrninuted in a seat-
ed Cousurnption, and proved fzttal. Scarcely

NEW‘ CERTIFICATES.
Mr. J Mr:LLr:tv: Sir-—Ifyouthiuk the fol-
lowing statement of my case worth publish-
ing, you are at liberty so to do. I, the sub-
scriber, do hereby certify, that about the mid-
dle of August, l8‘*.’!, was seized with rt vio-
lent pain in my breast which terminated in 8
or 10 days in an ulcer or abcess which dis-
charged a vast quantity of matter attended
with a violent cough and spitting hlood,this
continued until some time in November fol
lowing. In the interim new ulcers gathered
and discharged ; which reduced me very fast.
I madeapplication to the physicians but to
no effect: by the above mentioned titne, No-
vember, I was reduced to the last stage of
earthly cxisteuce, when I heard of‘ Auder-,
son’s Cough Drops,’I accordingly purchased
and made use of them, which soon gave rue
relief,and after taking them regularly about
three months, to the astonishment of all my
neighbors, I gained my health and soundness;
thereforel feel in duty bound to say that I
believe said Drops to be the best medicine
that was ever introduced into the world for
complaints ofthe lungs. Josuua BLODGET.
Bttrfonville, October 1823.
This is to certify that the subscriber was
brought very low by spitting blood, attended .
with a cough and catarrh, and that nothing
afforded me real relief untilI commenced
taking Autlerson’s Cough Drops, the use of
which were the means in the hand of-God of
restoring tne again to a comfortable 'state of
health. And I do further certify that the
someplace was afilicted with a verybad cough
fora number ofyears, and in 18°38 she was
reduced so low that it was thought she must
soon be in her grave, as she was scarcely able
to walk from her bed to the fire, when she
commenced taking Anderson's Cough Drops
the use of which, in a short time so far restor-I
ed her, that she was soon able to do a good
day’s work. I can cheerfully recommeml this
medicine to the public. PHILO JUDSON,
