PHILADELPHIA, May 15. A gentleman, who has lately visited the country between the Delaware and the Susquehanna, has calculated, that there are Sugar Maple Trees enough in the State of Pennsylvania to make as much sugar as could be consumed in the United States. This Maple Sugar has been examined in Philadelphia, and yields loaves equal in quality to that which is made from the juice of the West-India cane. To freemen, its sweetness ought to be enhanced by the reflection, that it is not stained with the sweat and blood of Negro slaves.
