integrity, his jndiciousness, and in fact his
whole tvharacter, all tcnrl to make him one of

THE l"rESOLL="I'lO.‘wiS.
[K fter reciting the Pu:-solutions for District-
ing passed by the House. and a-gloptitie thvir
w }’rcarn‘olr~, the gentleman present declared
their scutittients as follows :]
1. .}.{C..OlVCd, that we approve of the princi-
ples stated in said Resoltrtion ofthe House of
Iicpirseritzrtives, and that those rnernbers of
that branch of the General A_S5C§til)ly, who
were in favour ofsaid Resolve, and active in
procuring its passage, deserve the patronage
and confidence oftheir fellow citizens.
F3. For the purpose ofcarrying the said rc-
solve into edect, and securing to the people of
this State the blessitrgs which the District
system is calculated toprcduce, not only in
tire election of State Senators, but likewise in
r the election ofmembers ofCon2ress, and also
believing that for the accomplishment oftbe
object ofsaid Resolution, it is expedient that
a no" ination for Senators to be elected on
the first Monday of April next, should be
made out by the people in each county, of
such men as are known to them "to be in fa-
vour ofthe object of said Resolution. and in
whom they can trust their dearest political
rigltts——Tll‘.‘t’€f()t‘9. Resolved. That the Hon.
Roar-‘.ri'1‘ F.uttCurLo and Z.-u.:»Io.>t W'iLD-
Itt.-ta‘. Esq. be. and they are hereby nominated
as suitable persons to represent this County
and the Stzrie in the Senate at the next ses-
sion ofthe General Assembly.
3. Ilesolved, That for the purposes afore-
sairl, it is in our opinion expedient that a suit-
alle nomination be made by the people of
each County in the State for their respective
counties, composed of such gentlemen as will
support the old Republican principle of dis-
trit.-ting the same.
4. Resolved, That for the purpose of'ma-
king out and publishing a general ticket, in-
cluding the names of those geutleruen who
maybe nominated by the several Counties.
Jesse Sterling, Charles ‘r‘r"inton, and Samuel
Kellogg, Esqrs. be appointed to correspond
with such gentlemen as may be appointed by
the other =:ountirs for the satire purpose.
5. I{csolvecl,'l'liat by all honorable and pro-
per means we will support the nomination
thus made out at the next election.
6. Resolved, That under our Co'nstitution
all political power is riglttfully in the people,
that all free governments are founded 3-I. sup-
‘ ported for their benefit, and that it is their
right and duty to meet and consult on public
measures, and to adopt such Course of pro-
ceedings as in their judguacnt will best scrztrre
to thcrn and their posterity the great and es-
sential principles ofliberty.

is not the only one whicb.\'lr.Reynolds in. re-
ceived fr. respectable men. President \Vy|te
of \‘Vasl]ii‘|glt)rt College in Pentrs.ylvania,after
bearing Mr. R.’s lectures, addressed hinl the
following letter:
N If more were any objections against the
theory, which would prove it to be iri.o'pposi-
tion to a single known law ofnature, it should
he rejected at once, without further investiga-
tion. Thus the doctrine of a perpetual mo-
tiou may be set aside. as being in opposition
_»(, the t,-'n.)wn pl'()pCl"i:U3SkOr matter, and the
r.gr;,b|i_,<lier,l laws of the mechanical powers.--
But as far as I can see this is not the case with
Captain Syrumes’ theory: it is opposed to no
law of mu...-e, On the contrary, it seems to
he in the strictest accordance with that econ-
nmv which Nature has so wontlcrfully constri-
,,,,t‘,,, at] her worlrs. To produce the _greatt=st
varietyofimportant results, by the f-zwest ele-
ments and the simplest means, is the charac-
ter ofthat Divine wisdom which is so conspic-
uous throughout the. Universe. Nature has
,.,,pj,,,,,Sh,._,r wilt, me every element, every
spot, I had almost said every particle ofu:at-
ier within her irnnrcuse territory. Within 81.
without, almost every srrlistaut-.e teems with
ife. Though space is boundless, no part of
it, at least so far as we are acqttairitetl with it,
‘.3 useless or unoccupietl. and it is an advant-
age which your theory presents to the view of
the intelligent observer of uature,that it furn-
ishes,witli the sameexteriorsurface,the means
ofaccornmodating nearly twice the muuber
ofinhabitartts, which this globe, according to
the cotnrnon theory, could support.
There is another general analogy in the
construction of all things which are formed,
either irnmediately. by the hand of Nature
herself,or by means ofvarions instincts which
she employs in the several departments of
urrranized life, which gives additional plausi-
bility to your ll)'t)t‘tlllPSis. In no instance is‘
tltCl'(‘. a waste off/re1:tntv.~?‘t'«'tl. In the structure
r-fthe. honey comb. naturalists have observed
this with inexprcssible athniration; likewise
in that of a feather; and indeed it maybe
seen in almost every object in nature. And if
in things minute and corugraratively insignifi-
cant, why not in those '-vhich are more grantl
and iruporttint ? That from one surface of
the gl-~.hr- to l_l!'.‘ opnosite——:r space more than
eight titottstrnri miles in tliar:ret»c.r—-titer-e should
he nothiu_r_t but a mass ofmattt-.r, which, from
its position, is renrlercrl useless as it respects
the tic:-.tnurnorlation olartisuatarl beings, I will
not S11_V would he uritvortlty of that wisdorn
which the sole nt-c ril'i‘l:itrrral'i‘lreolugy delights
to trace in the svork.~; ofthc Great Architect:
but I say the opposite srtpposition is more
grand, more noble, and in slrort more analo-
gous to the etzonorny of nature.”

Those who usefoo! stoves, should rcmernlmr
that they are dantferous, and ought never to
be left in exposerl situations. Several fires
have occurred within the last 12 months. on
casioned by want of caution,-among tliese were
one or 2 in meeting houses, and Sabbath be-
fore last the new Presbyterian meeting-house
in 1)illlt’l'SOI‘» caught fire from a stove lr ft in ‘
pew after ever iug service, and had it not been
for a Provideutial dicovcry about 12 o’clock
,at night the whole building would inevitably
have been destroyed. The practice ofleaving
foot stoves in churches during the week for
the purpose of saving a little trouble in filling
them the ensuing Sabbath is peculiarly dan-
gerous, and ought not to be allowed.
In W'estchestcr county two men were found
