part of the temperate zone for its growth or the fabrication of those productions, is adapted to the higher latitudes of that region of our country. The best culture of the eastern states is comprehended in the proper farming of that district. The effectual bearing of the productions of the south upon the profits of the farming of the middle, northern and eastern states, will always render the actual or new culture of our great southern district of sugar, rice, indigo, cotton and grape vines, deeply important us; because the cultivation of those and other productions, adapted to their climates, will prevent their attention, as principal objects, to those things which must always be produced by our cattle, grass, apple, vegetable and grain farms. The cider and apple brandy, for example, of the county of _Morris_, in New Jersey, which far exceeds the general belief, the superfine flour of the white wheat country of this middle district, and the fabrications of the dairy of the eastern states, sustain no interference at home or abroad, from the productions of those southern labourers who are employed on sugar, rice, cotton, indigo and tobacco; or may be employed on the fruit of the grape vine, the olive tree and their fabrications, which annually yield to France one hundred and twenty millions of dollars. The culture of the southern states is, therefore, in truth, a fit subject of attention and solicitude for the Pennsylvanians, and their surrounding northern and eastern brethren; and valuable papers on that subject would always deserve a place in _The Rural Magazine_. If the African TERENCE has been quoted, beyond any other writer, for the beautiful exclamation of one of his personified characters, "_Homo_ sum, et nihil humani a me alienum puto,"[1] how impossible is it for a true and faithful member of this favoured nation to forget to exclaim, "_Americanus_ sum, et nihil _Americani_ a me alienum puto."[2] [1] I am a _man_, and I consider nothing that affects _man_ as foreign to me. [2] I am an _American_, and I consider nothing that affects _America_ as foreign to me.
