FREE SUGAR AND MOLASSES.

The patrons of the Liberator, who are accustomed to think and write, are respectfully requested to consider what would be the probable consequences to the West India sugar plantations, if every town in New-England could show one or more establishments like that mentioned below.

We have been informed that in the neighborhood of Jaffery, N.H., there are now erecting works for preparing on a large scale, sugar and molasses from potatoes, which are worth on the spot 17 cents per bushel. It is calculated that after paying for the potatoes and the expense, a nett profit of 20 cents per bushel will be made. A bushel will yield 7 lbs. of Sugar. For further particulars, see Silliman's Journal, the last number issued, where the process for making Sugar of potatoes is detailed.
