Tor. the republican. NEW THEORY, No. IV. Mr. Pmilalethes, Your second number has be-n Hhd h-fnre the rmhlir De.n laid before the public, the object of which is to subvert my theory. But so firm, ly am I impressed with this belief, so clearly docs it comport with reason, and so evidently bal- . , ... . . . ' , ancewitnthe philosophical and

w.ua, KKaiu.uiuiw in. pnTf; O ..o;,f;, Al. it i i i miglltv's works, that it must be r . facts alone, that can change my

opinion. In your last disqulSl- td arch, the earth is allotted to re. tion, you declaim against the idea vohv, beyi.nd wl i:h it can nuvcr roof having reason, introduced for l-e, beii.q equally l atticed on all the exposition ot ticts. But rea- picture i the atmosson is that sacred attribute with Uc hh rinn:unclit? or comi)1,tclv to winch God has inspired the hu- rc;.lOXC ;t, thai c r.heidd be gratilim in being, by wliich he is distin. v bv u view, of th ne suljlimer j;uishcd from all animl creation," w.rld.;, tl-osc wrduii j.lnne, the crand iwvvlii' h he rakfd t, th jf n :i t:tui-e, a" 1 r..xu;d:rr choir ot

exalted pinnacle on which he now stands. It is bv reason, that man ha been enabled to enter on the abstruse, bound of uncertainty, to burst the dark veil of ignorance., to pry into the expmsc of ererniry, r.r.d to proclaim the pro-existence of a God. It was lv reacon, that the innired Columbus, could extend his mental eye beyond the swelling surges of the I'i i dawning ct light, to present day, men have been led to the .;'cuest discoveries bv the aid . - i reason; is it not adoiissilde itr.if ibis irnc important ouestiou Ot OUtitlOtl:: ft Xall hope of ascei t aining facts, because we a e not abie to prove them by ocular den.onstrathni? W.su'oy ibe sense ot seeing, that philosophers were first dtverted trotn their old opinion, that the earth stond still and the sun rrv- lvcd around it; or was it by philosophical reasoning, that they were led to discover that ihe Min was immovcably fixed, in the center ot the universe, whilst the earth was continually turning on its axis, performing its annual and diurnal motions about the sun, in it own clip-is? Be-fore the tlavs of a Galiileo, a I la-ley, a Herschel and others, it would have been thought puerile and extrava;mt, to have merely suppo. seil ihe existence of many luminous orbs aad planets, that are now km vn to exist and spangle the icrial blue. So have all laudable at'empts to search utter knowledge, been condemned, and lidicu'ed at first; because every person could not trace the o jeer of pursuit at lirst glance. But tet any latent object be once brought to viw, and all are ready to assert their fore know!edge of it, and claim the right of honor. These are diiUcuities under wliich all have had to labor, that ever entered the field of research, since time stood forth, or the ardent thirst after discovery dated its xra in the 0 mind ot man. Seeing then that this ever has been, and ever will be the barrier over which all have to ascend, before they can accomplish tiieir undertakings, I shall still press forward with that alacrity, with wliich I commenced Permit me in the next obervagun, just to remark, Air.

Let us no longer then, deem it chimerical, to suppose that there are other materia! worlds beside the earth. Let us not suppose that he, who is all powerful, has confined all his works of material creation to one small globe, or about eignt thou. sand miles in diameter. The mmd of mm taken m a conjuncttvc view, is too indolent, to ex. tend us investigation beyond those limits the eye can trace. VIRGINIUS.
