to us bv *heii fossil remains. ’I line, in the
eourse of the ages i ',a* nreceded the appear
ance of man upon earth, its surface has soc-
ee.ssivelv changed its aspect, its verdure and
Its inhabit Hits—the seas have nourished other
beings, the ttir has been peopled iiilh othei
birds.
'I'lie remains of tbeso various successions
of animals rind vegetables attest that they
were at first much more uniform. The vugn-
e.i.ias of the coal formation, for example,
scarcely present anv difference, whatever may
he the latitude the longitude, or the elevation
at which they are found. Europe, Asia, and
the. two Americas, alike produced elephants,
rhinoceroses, mastodons, Ac. The differen
ces which vegetables and animals exhibit at
tli" present duv. according to the various cli
mate or situations in which they occur, hav
be n gradually established under the predomi
naliog inlluence of a small number of eatura
causes, and constitute at length the ord,
dr'lribulioo which life now presents at the sur-
* face of the cm III.
Originally life extended from one pole to the
ollmr, and .'lim ited the whole of this surfa
Tim frozen regions of the North, and the snow
clad mountains of the Alps, were covered with
fhe same verdure; and the forms of the pris
tine aiiiui ds and vovetiililns presented either
extraordinary types of which we have now no
example, or -peon s whii'li belonged to fami
lies and genera still existing, but in most eases
only between the Tropics. As we approach
nearer to the present times, we find in nil nla-
ces remains mw and more resembling those
of the plants and animals which now live in the
same country. At a later period, the original
races of animals and vegetables were gradual
ly’expelled from the North towards the South,
from the summits to the plains, in proportion as
the uniform mean temperature of the earth’s
.surface yielded to mure powerful causes,which
brought about the establishment of climates.
These gradual variations in the temperature,
the lowering of the general level of the sens,
the equally successive and graddhl diminution
of the energy of volcanic phenomena arising
from (he original igneous stnlo of the earth, ns
well ns of the strength ami power of atmosphe
ric plicnomc.na. and of lidos—such woro the
regular, general, and continued natural causes
of the modifications which life lias undergone,
and of nbnost all tho changes that have boon
produced upon the earth’s surface. The ic-
stllt of these first causes, such as the establish
ment ofloc.nl influences over the temperature of
the same climate, the formation of a multitude
of particular basins, some containing salt, others
fresh water ; the pouring out of these lakes
into one another, and into the great basin of
the sen ; tho partial debacles which thence re
sulted ; the ravages of the sea on the low
parts nftlio continents at first; and then the
formation of vast Ingoons in the same place
lastly, tho establishment of the general systc
of draining mid watering, or of the livdrogra-
phie retieulntion which covers (ho globe —
■.uoii wore (lie irregular, nml more nr less vio
lent and perturbing secondary causes of the
partial vicissitudes experienced by animal and
vegetable life.
Tho beings, which were unable to resist the
influence of these vniioiis causes, were des-
trnyod and disappeared front the earth, with
the circumstances for which lliev were created;
new species appeared with new conditions of
existence. Hut in examining the scries of fos
sil remains that are found buried in the Strata
of the globe, ll ere is no where perceived a
distinct line of demarcation between the differ
ent terms of that series, so as to prove that life
has been once or olteiior totally renewed on
the earth. On the contrary, we discover in it
a Oroof of the successive and gradual change
which we have pointed out. Certain primitive
types have indeed completely disappeared ;
Vet they are found existing at various epochs—
vermin genera that yet obtain, me common to
nil the term’ of tho series; and towards the
end of the series, wo find the remains of some
of our present species, along with ancient types
and extinct species. In consequence of the
estiih'ishnienl of climates, life has almost en
tirely abandoned the polar countries, nml the
glaciers have usuipcd, on the high summits,
the place of the verdure of primeval times.
Palms, date-trees, cocoas, dracwnir, pandani,
arectr, tho grent reed, and the arborescent
ferns, have forsaken our climates, together
xvitlj the elephants, tigers, panthers, hippopo
tami, the gigantic tapirs, the rhinoceroses,
pahcotlicria. nnapintlucria, mastodons.ond other
extinct animals, as well as those enormous
reptiles whose forms were so extraordinary.
Sole masters of those times, of the countries
now subjected to the dominion of man, these
animals arc either entirely destroyed, or now
live only between the tropics
Man appears to have arrived upon the earth
only alter its surface was adapted to receive
him, after the establishment of climates, nml
when a happy equilibrium among the elements,
determined the permanency of the present
stale of tilings, or at least had rendered its va
riations almost imperceptible.
Such is a brief view of ihc changes which
hie has experienced on the surface of the globe,
and of the causes which have produced those
changes. Our theory, which is founded on
all the facts that have beenestablished. cannot

Colton. An article on tho “ Present state and future
aspects of the Cotton Market” in Mu rope is rec
mended to the attention of our readers. At the present
crisis, when the decline in value of the principal coin
modify of the south is rendering its cultivation 1
object of attention than heretofore, it is important that
w probable tendency of the present system of thin,
should he considered, and expedients adopted to counter
act the effect whirl! a fiw»her decline must have upon the
general prosperity of the south. In the estimate bet!
not withstanding the increasing demand fir Cotton from
the manufacturing states of Europe, there appears t.
have been an increase in tho quantity on band at the
close of the year twenty-seven, over that of twenty-six
of seventy.seven thousand bales, although th
sumption of eighteen hundred and twentv-sevi
hundred and seventy-live thousand bales more than
the preceding year, while this increase in the consump
tion has been attended with a reduction in the pri<
mg to a corresponding increase in the production
which has sensibly affected the interest of the cultivator
id importer.—Egypt, it is .stated, has tcmoorarilv
•nsrd to add her usual quota to the European supplies ;
hut n reduction in quantity, tending to an augmen
tation of tho price, cannot, we think, he expected from
a brief suspension of her agiietiltu al pursuits. No
change, consequently, in the price, p» rmanently ad-
vantage.us to the interest of the cultivator, can take
place, while the disparity between production anti con
sumption continues to held the same proportion to each
other, us f >r the Inst ten years. The manufactures of
I ranee and the Netherlands, though requiring an annual
upply of about one-third of the whole importation into
Europe, are made to operate against sn increased va
lue of tho raw material. Other reasons, equally fullnci-
s, are assigned, which will, so far from having even n
favourable hearing upon future prices, iu oar view* tend
to a still farther reduction.
not rented, it is not to be feared; for if they he ter//
bred at h»m% they will no* disturb a congregation al
church. It is not supposable that pew renting conduces
to order. I have seep as much or more order prevail,
where the seats were free, as in those that were paid for!

Now “ A I*.’* upon such flimsey assertions n? thesi
has boldly unchriMjainzed us, and made ns to act in

li.ips, with more p .puety doubt of our Saviour's appro

•mrh heavy denm. ialioiu against Olliers, lie wii
with a great deal of harmony and litre an his lips; and
‘ays, “ behold heir good and pleasant it is fur bretiirni U
du'itl together in unity." This truly reminds ine of the
idea, of one person knocking another down, and then
telling him, let us live in peace, and dir ell together in
ily." Soil is, that if our ministers preach their doc
ne, it in denounced as heresy. Their bishop a l*re-
lute, not knowing what he aimed to say, and still his
xplicit, and their members, a deluded
people, who do not understand the doctrine they pro-
, and tin a say, “/*/ us live together in unity.”* 1

ays hold this language, u lct us alone and tec will not

whether it will he tendered bv others or not. In this
place both churches were built in the same manner as
ill other churches in this country are, i. e. by applica-
i«»ns to all classes of society. The Methodist church is
till unfinished and unpaid for, hut the seats arc free.
I’lie other, or Presbyterian, is tin is hod o-nearly so—
nml out of 40 pews, I understand they hare rented 31
or -2, the minimum price bring $10. Now the 8 or 0
eserved pews are entirely incompetent to contain all
he Methodist, and others who would attend, perhaps,
if the scats were free.—And if they were to set with
host* who have tented, tho admixture would bo so
great, that the “order” arising from renting, would he
trayed. In this case then, it is indirectly an exelu-
a to those who n fuse to rent. And rather than re
in nt home on Sabbaths; would it be “opposition” or
ic'.risthn” for such, in a land of freedom to assemble
•md womhip Hod "under their own Vine and Wg-tr...
Surelv not. That s icli meetings may take place, w ith-
it a distant view of “opposition,” I think probable,
he support ot (ho ministry is also reciprocal, in manv
places, from the reason assigned -above. Last year the
other denomination, so far as my knowledge extends,
did not contrilmif a cent to our ministry. Now sup-
ottr people all io rent pews at $11) a piece or more.
This amount would in •asurahlv go to the support of
their IWnr, and h ave it optionary with them whether
th'-v would reciprocate with us. This, however, is not
the principle upon w'lidt I am opposed to the measure.
If “brethren could” (five of abuse) “dwell together in
unity, w “belnld how good and pleasant it would be/’
oped it would bo laid on the labl

Mr. Wilde said his only objection was the

Montpelier, Feb. 22, 1828.
Dear Sir : The mail of last evening brought
me your circular communication, by whicl” I
am informed of nty being nominated by the
■'onvention at Richmond on the 8th of Janu
ary, one of the Electors recommended for the
next appointment of Chief Magistrate of the
United States.
M liilst ( express the great respect I feel to
he due to my fellow citizens composing that
assembly, I must request that another name he
substituted for mine, on their Electoral Te kct.
After a continuance in public life, with a very
brief interval, through a period of more than
forty years, and at the age then attained, I rnn-
sidcred myself as violating no duty, in allotting
for wlmt oflife might remain, a retirement from
scenes of political agitation and excitement.
Adhering to this view of my situation, I have
forbore, during the existing contest, as I had
done during the proceeding, to participate in
any measures of a party character ; and the
restraint imposed on mvself, is neccssaiily
strengthened by an admonishing sense of in-
creasing years. Nor with these considerations
could I fail to combine, a recollection of the
public relations in which I stood to the distin-
uished individuals now dividing the favour of
their country, and the proofs given to both, of
the high estimation in which they were held bv
mo.
In offering this explanation, I hope I may he
pardoned for not suppressing a wish which
must lie deeply and extensively felt, that the
discussions incident to the depending contest,
ninv be conducted in a spirit and manner, nei
ther unfavourable to a dispassionate result, nor
unworthy of the great and advancing cause of
Representative Government.—With great es
teem and respect,
