Tf r > Styles , Levi Hill , and A. Wray, Esqs. Hamburg, S. C. Gentlemen; You did me the honor yesterday, to call on me in conformity with the following resolution, adopted by numerous subscribers for the call of a public meeting in Hamburg, on the 31st instant, to wit: u That C. W. Styles, Levi Hill, and A. Wray, Esq., be appointed q commit tde to wait on Judge Butler,and deliver the public invitation to him to attend andq. ddresst he people on the day named*’—the object of the meeting be ing to consider the question of the separate secession of South Carolina from all the other States in the present Confederacy. Allow me gentlemen, to thank you personally for the acceptable and polite manner in which you acquitted yourselves of the duty imposed up on you,—and to return my cordial acknowledge ments to my fellow-citizens for the nattering compliment implied in their call on me to ad dress them on the occasion indicated. From intimations which I have received, it is probable, Ijmay be called to address other meetings of a similar character. From the best view which I can take of my duty, having a regard for my official relations to all the people of South Carolina, I have come to the conclusion that it would he better that I should not mingle in such public meetings just at this time. The subject of your meeting is one of great magnitude; and one w hich w ill be discussed by the publie. I sincerely hope that it may be so discussed and considered, as to lead to no intes tine or party contentions in the State itself. The crisis is .can? which gives to your meeting great dignity and solemnity. I have every rea son to conclude that the result of your proceedings will justify a high opinion of your intelligence and patriotism. I cannot conclude this communication with out making a remark or two on the great sub ject which has occasioned your meeting. No one who looks at the certainties of the past, and the tendencies of the future, but most regard the crisis in w hich we are involved with anxious concern and solicitude. A large proportion of Southern representatives, and several State Legislatures, by solemn reso lutions, have declared that Southern institutions are not safe in the hands of the present Federal Government. They have received too many stabs under the deceptive masks of compromises and party organizations to look for future securi ty Another question has presented itself for consideration-would the non-slaveholding States, by an adequate amendment of the Constitution, give additional, or any guarantees, for the pro tection of Southern rights and sectional equality ? The manner in wrhich Mr, Calhoun’s instima tions to prepare an amendment of the Constitu tion w as received in Congress is a pregnant com" mentry on this new subject. Mr. Calhoun commenced his last speech with the following passage: “ I have, Senators, believed from the first that the agitation of the subject of slavery would, if not prevented by some timely and effective mea sure, end in disunion. Entertaining this opin ion, I have, on all proper occasions, endeavored to call the attention of both of the two great parties which divide the country to adopt some measure to prevent so great a disaster, but without suc cess. The agitation has been permitted to pro ceed with almost no attempt to resist it, until it has reached a period when it can be no longer dis fuised or denied that the Union is in danger.— ou have thus had forced upon you the greatest and gravest question that can ever came under your consideration-—How can the Union be pre served The mode of securing the Union, as indicated by that experienced statesman, met with nothing but the denunciation of an impatient majority. What alternative then is left to the Southern States ? Nothing but the province of taking care of themselves. How is that to be done ? I an swer, by the formation of an adequate Govern ment, such a Government as could invest itself with the powers, and discharge the duties of a gjlitical sovereignty, among the nations of the arth; boundless in resources, commercial, agri cultural, and manufacturing with a numerous and intelligent population, with Statesmen of w isdom and experience, and with a model of the best Constitution that ever was devised. The South ern States have all the elements of a great Polit ical Commonwealth. Some think that South Carolina, by separate secession could exclusively assume the position of an ample government for all the purposes of national existence. There are comparatively very few who would act on such an opinion. It would be to sever the State npt alone, from the Northern States, but from South erll allies and associates, and in its operation, would certainly require great and destructive sa erahees. To speak of no other it would require the sacrifice of the oniy great Sea Port City of , the State. What Statesman could give such ad vice under such a juncture of affairs as exist at the present time. Those who are for South Carolina moving alone, have, I suppose, objects beyond her sepa rate existence. How and when she is to move requires the profoundest judgment that ever has been exerted on her destinies. As a distinguished Georgian has remarked, | “ South Carolina has taken a proud position; but \ she should not so occupy it, as to exclude others from odfupying itwith her.” The Southern peo- j pie are beginning to see their true condition. Is- j sues have been made, and are now pending in Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, that were J never distinctly presented before, and, as certain ly, as I am waiting, these issues will come to judgment, they will be forced to judgment.— The next Presidential contest will leave many of the great political aspirants of the South strand ed. At the next session of Congress, Southern Representatives who have been so hopeful, will have as much insult as their stomachs can bear What was the state of public feeling among the people three years ago ? what will it be three years hence under the certain tendency of events’ under the divine right of usurpation and sanc tions ol a blind majority, the conviction will be forced on the people of the South that they must take common counsels to avert common dangers. The attempt to force other Southern States to fol low our lead would be a dangerous experiment and in my opinion would result in failure and in disaster. One move by South Carolina, is to bring about hopeless isolation or civil war. 1 hope it will not be regarded as egotism in me, when I say that I have more firmness in a crisis, than boldness to make one. When South Caro lina does move she must be prepared for the con sequences ; I shall help her! 1 believe that the great State Rights cause and principles are stronger in the Southern States than they have ever been. There is less jeal ousy between neighboring States than formerly, when federal preferments gave character to party! God hath joined South Carolina and Georgia to gether. and let no man or men put them asunder! Those who sow the seed of discord between them have much to answer for before the tribunal of their common history. Georgia has had the des tinies of the South in her hands—she will have statesmen who will see her interests and will pursue them. There is a spirit in that State that would animate any Commonwealth on earth.— The river on which you deliberate is a nominal boundary, but a real bond of Union between the States. Gentlemen, in your resolutions be calm and firm. Yours, with true respect, A. P. BUTLER. Letter from the Hon. A. Burt. OrasgeHill, May 29, 1851. Gentlemen'. —l greatly regret that I shall be unable to attend the meeting in your town on the 31st of this month, to which you did me the honor to invite me. My regret, however, is diminished by the fact that I have recently re monstrated. in the most resolute and emphatic manner, against the suicidal measure to which the most reckless and desperate efforts are ma king, to drive the people of this State. I hear tily concur with you, that the people -who are to bear the burthens and fight the battles that must result from such madness, should rebuke the headlong indiscretion of those who would precipitate such evils upon them. Incontestible as I hold the right of secession to be, those who urge the State to resort to it, at the present juncture, do not pretend to deny that its exercise would, probably, involve the State in a hostile collision with the Federal Government. This concession is abundantly made in the address of the meeting which was lately held in Charleston. I have never doubt ed that such a would take place if but one State seceedeq, and the assertion that I have modified my opinion is wholly destitute of foun dation fdo not perceive how any rational man can doubt it. Those who urge us to secession, regardless of the other States, 35,'itk but four ex ceptions, admit, that without the aid of some of those States, defeat would be the probable result ; of such an unequal struggle. I presume no sane man, of respectable intelligence, could come to any other exclusion. Indeed, it is so obvious, > that unsparing efforts ape ipade to assure us that > the other slaveholding Stares named, qecgsgqj-ily become involved with us—either by having ’ their courage excited by our example, or by be i ing dragged into it against her will, t Again, we are told that it is pur mission to > save the South from the doom that impends, and that our first gun will rally the slavehold t jug States under our banner. I tell you, gen r tlemen that rye can drag no State into our dif > Acuities. It is piepoteiGus to think of it.— ■ Would it he manly to do it jf we cquld? \Ve must conceetle to the other States what vye claim : for ourselves, intelligence to understand their rights, and courage to defend them. Yes, we ; must take for granted that they also have some ‘ self-respect, and that they are not cowards and cravens. lam proud of the valor and heroism of South Carolina, but I am of opinion that other people have these qualities glsp. And it is, in my judgment bail policy,'as it is.had taste, to as sume that South Carolina, alone, has the spirit and the intelligence to defend and preserve the 1 rights of all the Southern States. I believe I have the means of knowing the public opinion of the slave holding States, and I declare j with sincere sorrow, tirat qqt qpe "qf them, nor any considerable minority in any one of them is prepared to advise or justify the] seces sion of South Carolina. As to public sentiment in the other States, I take issue, and demand the proof. I know, personally and well, the gallant and distinguished and true men, that represent some of them in Congress, but I know no man amongst them that would not stay us from the madness of secession. Let those who affirm the contrary, name the man. Nq, gentlemen, we have no hope, that we can coax or coerce any other State into secession, at the present moment. J think we should deceive ourselves if we sup pose we should excite the gratitude of the South ern States, or even their admiration, by secession. They will let us understand that it is not their battles we shall fight, or their cause that we shall uphold. They will not hail us as the champion pf the South. But if the secession of this State -—its political .separation from the other sl&vhqkb ing States, could be effected as peaceably aqd quietly as some have tried to make us believe—• if it could be done without the use of a musket or a dollar, my covictipn is, that it would he a dire calamity to ourselves, We should be the victms of the most extraordinary delusion that ever ruined a country or a people. And in my deliberate judgment all good men—all patriotic men—should strive, without ceasing, to avert a disaster so utter and so irreparable. I should have been most happy, if I could have concurred in what seems the unalterable deter, ruination of the State. I know the consequences of daring to dissent from those who have lead us to the brink of the precipice, and I am prepar ed to meet them all. Let them strike, I crave not their forbearance or their forgiveness. With great respect, I have the honor t to be I your obedient servant. • ARMSTEAD BURT. Bostqn May 28, -—Although the new costume lor ladies has been worn in our streets but in one ! or two cases, the matter has excited a deep in- 1 terest m the social circle, and I have understood tha many ot our most respectable ladies seriously intend to adopt the new style. A shop keeper 1 in Washington-st. has displayed for several days past at his window a wax figure beautifully dress ed a la Bloomer , winch has attracted general no tice, and, I do not hesitate to say, general admi ration. Crowds stand around the window from morning till night, and I have several times stopped to listen to the comments which the novel exhibition calls forths, particularly from the ladies. In no instance have I heard an ex pression of disapproval, hut many have uttered exclamations of admiration. This dress will yet be popular. lam glad that you have given place to the favorable notices of it by journals in vari ous parts of the country. A friend of mine in Providence, a lady of high social position, is a* bout to adopt it. r, n. Seventh Day Baptists.— The Legislature of Wisconsin passed a law, in March last, which re lieves the sect known as the Seventh Day Bap- I fists” f rom the usual legal liabilities of the Sab bath. A vessel arrived at CondorTfrom Bombay, has < brought the unusually large quantity of 4,592 bales and 103 half bales of Cotton, of East India i production, as a portion of her cargo, j i Lord Byron and the Monk.— A writer in a late number of Eliza Cook's Journal, in giving a description of Newstead Abbey, Lord Byron's former residence, relates the following : At the end of a gallery, a huge stone coffin met our gaze, with several other relics of the dead, such as bones, skulls, &c., which were drug up, during Lord Byron’s residence at the Abbey, from under the flagging in the cloisters. It ap pears that one time his lordship had a strange fancy for this species of resurrectionizing and digging up dead men’s bones. Whether it was that he fancied the thrifty friars had filled their coffins with gold before taking their departure from this neither w r orld, in order to pay their passage mo ney, and secure a rapid transition into the next; or whether he expected to find some brazen an gels, or, what would be still better, the great iron chest, filled with gold and jewels, that was re ported to be buried or sunk somewhere either in the grounds or lake; or whether it was a mere curiosity for seeking up antiquarian relics, I can not pretend to tell, though report hints at the two former motives. However, amongst other things, this coffin was brought to light, and with it the skeleton of a monk. Another of the lord's strange fancies was to have the skull of this said skeleton cleaned, mounted with silver, and made into a drinking cut. He then wrote the half a dozen stanzas, which are probably well known to the public, beginning: Start not, nor deem my spirit fled.’’ and which engraved on the sil ver. The cup -was shown to us by the house keeper, and with it the following somewhat strange and new story. Mind, I don’t say we believed it, neither do I ask you, gentle reader to believe it—l merely tell you the tale, as it was told as by the worthy woman’s own lips. She assured us it was universally credited by the ! whole household. The story is this: When By- ! ron first drank out of this cup, it was at a party . in the large drawing-room. Some ladies were seated beside him, laughing, talking and enjoying j with him the festivity of the evening. Scarce, ! however, had he raised the fatal goblet to his : lips, when lo! at the doorway appeared—■“ black, terrific, and in dusky garb” arrayed—the head less trunk of a human being, apparently a monk. The ladies shrieked, fainted, and as many as could hurried out of the room. Byron, however, boldly faced the spectre, and demanded of him his errand. The monk approached, and accused him with bitter w r ords of his sin and guilt in thus removing from their resting-place the bones of the pious dead, and appropriating to such vile uses the skull of a fellow-mortal who once thought, spoke, and quafifed the wine like him self. He concluded by fore telling him the place, day, hour, and all the particulars of his death, which—as the good lady assured us—all came to pass exactly as predicted. Thus ends this short, but strange story. But this is but one in a hundred of the hobgoblin tales which are told of this ancient place. Byron hirp self believed, or pretended to believe in, a great many of them; and to one fabled visitant espe cially he has given the most perfect sanction by his credence, and caused him to be recognized as a familiar inmate of the Abbey. This is the fa mous goblin friar, who is said to walk nightly throught the halls and cloisters, and to have been seen by Byron himself on several important oc casions, always pretending evil One of these occasions was a short time previous to his unfor tunate marriage with Miss Milbank. How far this report is true, I am not prepared to say. His lordship has, however, imbodiefr the tpdition ip a ballad, in which he thus speaks of him. “ When an heir is born he’s heard to mourn . And when aught is to befall That ancient line, in the pale moonshine He walks from hall to hall !■ His fcrn‘f you may trace, but not his faee— *Tie shadowned by his eov»i, And hi 3 eyes may be seen from the folds between, And they seem of a parted soul.” Home and Woman. If ever there has been a more touching and elo quent eulogium upon the charms of home and its dearest treasure, woman, than is contained in the following extract from the Christian Inquirer, it has ppt been our good fortune to meet it, f.'Quy hopags—what is then eqrner-stpqe but the virtue of women? And oh whut does social well being rest but on our homes? Must we not trace all other blessings of civilized life to the door of our private dwellings? Are not our hearth stones, guarded by the holy forms of con jugal, filial, and parental love, the corner stpqea of Church and State—Mom sgcred than either— more necessary than both? Let our temples crumble and our academies decay—let every public edifice, our halls of justice, and our capitols of State be levelled with the dust—but spare our homes. Man did not invent and he cannot fin-, prove or abrogate then;, A pnvgte shelter to Cover in two hearts dearer to each other than all the world; high walls to seclude the profane eyes of every human being—seclusion enough for children to feel that mother is a peculiar name—. this is home and here is the birth of every vituous impulse; of every sacred thought. Here the Church and the State must come for their ppigen and support. Qh, spare pur homes! The love we experience there give us our faith in an intimate goodness; the purity and disinterested tenderness of home is our foretaste and our ear nest of a better world. In the relations there established and fostered do we find through life the chief solace and joy of existeuce. " What friends deserve the name compared with those whom a birthright gave us! One mother is worth $ thousand friends—one sister dearer and truer than twenty intimate companions. We who have played on the same hearth under the light of smiles, who date back to the same season of innocence and hope 4 in whose vpips mns the same hlaqdj do we not find that years only make more sacred and important the tie that binds us? j Coldness may spring up, distance may separate, j different spheres may divide; but those who cgn j love anything, to lqve at all, must j find that the friends who God himself gave are j wholly unlike any we can choose for ourselves, | and that the yearning for these is the strongest ! spark in our expiring affection.” (From the Federal Union.) Mr. Webster and the South. THE NORTHERN LEAfiER 0? THE CONSTITUTIONAL UNIQN PARTY, This gentleman, who accompanied President Fillmore on his late Northern tour, delivered a labored speech at Buffalo, which Northern papers i in favor of himself and the administration regard as a true exposition of his and their principles on the Southern question. About the time, last spring, when the South was rallying her forces ! at the Nashville Convention, to take coqnsel hqw I she should protect her rights and save the Unipn ! the •• god-like Daniel” made a speech in the Se nate, in which he rebuked the North for her Ufikindness to the South, and made strong pro fessions of regard for the South, for the Constitu tion and for the constitutional rights of the South. The effect of that speech at the South was electric. Coming from a quarter from which nothing was expected, it inspired hope amppe the desponding, and did more than every thing else to create apathy in relation tp the Nashville Convention. Whether it was designed as u a Yankee trick,” to throw the South off'her guard, to delude and deceive her, it is not our province to determine. Yet it is nevertheless true, by it she was thrown off her guard and has been de luded and deceived. Who would then have be wmfiJ i hat f°? n thereafter, Waster himself would have had the hardihood to deliver such sentiments as aie found in his Buffalo speech 1 * ® Ts + V h. on i y spce.fo.rthe following extracts; ™ e , wish any concession from me y ont get it—-not a hair’s breadth of it If tlftodo m \ h , ouse ‘ ir * WilfUtfind +w t -ii • { V once de nothing.

Never, never. The man can’t show his face to me and say he can prove that I ever departed from that doc trine. He would sneak away, and slink away, or hire a mercenary Heep, that he might say what a mercenary apostate from liberty Daniel Webster has become. [Laughter and cheers.] He knows himself to be a hypocrite and falsifier. ***** 44 But when we come to speek of admitting new States, the subject assumes a new and en tirely different aspect. Our rights and our du ties are then both different. The free States and all the States are then at liberty to accept or re ject. When it is proposed to bring new' mem bers into this political partnership, the old mem bers have a right to say on what terms such partners are to come in, and what they are to bring along with them. * * ’ * 44 Well, all that I will now say is, that, with the blessing of God, I will not now, or hereafter, before the country or the world, consent to be numbered among those who introduced new slave power into the Union. I did all in my power to prevent it.” ] Applause.] Had Mr. Webster avowed these sentiments in his speech in the Senate; had the great 44 Consti tutional expounder” then declared, that under the Constitution no more slave States could be admitted into the Union, “That he never would ! consent that there should be one foot of slave | territory beyond what the old thirteen States had at the time of the formation of the Union,” that speech, at the South, instead of allaying the ex ; citement, would have added fuel to the flames | then enkindled. Mr. Webster, the constitutional ! expounder, is now a constitutional Union man. ! How will his Constitutional Union allies in Georgia relish his exposition of the Constitution ? They, in their platform, make the rejection of a slave State, a ground for dissolution of the Union. He s<" r ', “the old members have a right to say on vv. terms such partners are to come in,” and h’s whole speech, shows that his views cor respond with those of the dominant majority of 4 the old members,’ and that with his consent, no other slave State will ever be added to the Union. The following sentence of the speech is preg nant with meaning: 44 Gentlemen: I regret extremely that slavery exists in the Southern States, and that Congress has not power to act upon it. But it may be in the dispensation of Providence some remedy may be found for it.” He does pot designate the remedy for the evil, the existence of which, he “ extremely regrets.” But he knows the remedy exists, and that it is in the hands of the North. He knows, that the day is not distant the addition of new States, from territory made free by the last Con gress, the constitution can be changed—when Congress can have the power to act upon slave ry in the States. Daniel Webster and^the^ord~Mayor of London.—The following is an extract from Mr. Webster’s recent speech at Buffalo. The story about the Cockney Lord Mayor is too good to he lost: “ Gentlemen, the commercial character so far pervades the minds of men all over the world, that there are many men who are very respecta ble and intelligent, who do not seem to know there is any part of the United States but New- York. (Laughter.) I was iq England, and when I was there it was asked of me, if I did not come from New-York. (Great laughter.) I told them my wife came from New York— (con tinued laughter) that is something—(great laughter.) 44 Well, gentlemen, I had the honor one day to be invited to a state dinner by the Lord Mayor of London. He was a portly and corpulent gen tleman—(laughter)—he had a big Wig on his hfqd all pondered and ribboned down behind. I had the honor to sit between him and the Lady Mayoress; and there were 300 guests, with all the luxuries and gorgeousness of the Lord fav or’s dinner. By and by, in the course of the proceedings, his lordship thought proper, soon after the cloth, was removed, to take notice of his American guest. He seemed not to know' who I was. He knew I was a Senator; but pf the United States he seemed to have b,u,t little idea of any place but New-York- (Laughter.) He arose" Gentlemen ” said he, 44 f give you the health ui Mr, Webster, a member of the upper Senate of New-York.” (Great outbursts of lapghter.)

Beebe, Morgan & Co., which an agent for them, who is on a Southern drumming expedition, has been distributing in Augusta. We give this house the full benefit of this advertisement, in our editorial columns, gratis. But we accompany it with the expres sion of our astonishment of the cool assurance n hich would prompt any Boston man to come to the South on any such expedition. It is to be hoped the Southern people have got enough of Boston, and the less they have to do with her hereafter the better. There are, doubtless, some very clever mer chants in Boston, and the partners of this house are, perhaps, among them. We know nothing 1,0 the contrary. But as long as the Southern ] people pour their wealth into the lap of that city, by trading with her, they keep sheathed the strongest W'eapon they can wield, in the Union , against her higher law negrophilism, and encou rage her respectable citizens to remain idle while ihe North tramples in the dust the laws for the enforcement of Southern rights under the Con stitution. Both Boston as a city, and Massachu setts as a state, have shown themselves entitled to hut little of the sympathy or good will of the Southern people. We should make as few con tracts as possible with a people who show so little disposition to carry out the great contract of the Constitution, in letter and spirit. Prac tical non-intercourse with them is alike a measure of good policy and of retributive jus tice. No Southern man should buy, if he can avoid it, any thing coming from Boston, or from any one who buys goods in Boston, until she repents of the past in sack-cloth and ashes. This policy could be extended, with good ef fect, to all abolition houses in New York, and to those Southern houses , of which, we are sorry to learn, there are still some among us, which trade with them. A proper self-respect and an enlightened view of her interest, ought to induce the South to trade as little with Northern cities as possible, for they are all, more or less, tainted with abolitionism. "We have just time to announce that Hon. Howell Cobb has been nominated as the Union candidate for Governor. We place his name at the head of our paper with confidence that the peo ple at the ballot-box will ratify the nomination by at least 10,000 majority. We will give the proceedings of the Convention next week.”— American ( Griffin) Union. This calculation of beating Charles J. Mc- Donald 10,000 votes, has been made before. We well remember a circumstance related to us by a Whig friend, an intelligent man, but given, to be over-sanguine, as occurring in 1841. He was at Washington City shortly after the nominations of Col. Wm. C. Dawson by the Whigs, and Charles J. McDonald by the Demo crats, for Governor, were made. He was asked by a Whig member of Congress from Georgia, v.’hat he thought of the election, “Ofrreplied, he, “ Col. Dawson will beat McDonald ten thousand votes.” 41 1 am of tfre same opin ion,” replied the M. C. Our friend related the con versation, to us short' 1 ly after the election was over, and added, “• j honestly believed what I said at the time, and, so did a great many others.” As Col, Dawson was in Congress at t>. je time perhaps he may recollect hearing something of | t ire circumstance. We will not mortify our Whig friends by | mentioning how many thousand votes the other way the election turned out. Suffice it, our •! friend Col. Dawson, was not elected by 10,000 or I b y any other number of votes. But he had the ! pleasure of drinking shortly after at the Execu tive mansion, as the guest of our mutual friend, Governor McDonald, m a glass of good Madeira’ “ lon S hfe and prosperity” to each other. hUc/wd^^^ eVer cownt chi(:fccm be f ore they are Central Rail-Road Dividend.

Tha best and most lucid description we have seen of the beautiful experiment of F oucault, which is attracting so much attention in the j scientific world, the following from the Savan j nah Republican. It demonstrates that the ex j periment is as conclusive as it is simple. the earth’s diurnal rotation on its axis rendered visible. This experiment is one of the most beautiful, simple and wonderful of the age in w'hich we ; live. The sublime mind of Laplace cast about for some ooular proof (evident to the senses) of ; the earth’s rotation upon its axis, but did not i happen to fall upo* it. It has been reserved for ' another Frenchman, Foucault, to illustrate it. We published, a tew weeks since, an account of his experiment maide in the Pantheon, in Paris. Tha t account has ’been the subject of much spec ulation here as wall as elsewhere. These inves tigations have often, we believe, ended in incre dulity. I The experiment'- may be thus described: Bus pend a considerable weight by a very fine wire say thirty or forty feet long, so that it may oscil late with perfect .freedom' Place underneath this pendulum a table, with a graduated circle upon it of the same diameter as the arc which the pendulum describes, and with its centre ex actly beneath that of the arc. The pendulum will not continue to vibrate over the same diam eter of that graduated circle, but will reach new points on each side, at every vibration, so as com pletely to traverse the circle in twenty-tom hours. Thus, supposing the circle to be the common clock-dial, graduated with twelve hours, if the pendulum be started to vibrate over the diameter from VI to XII, two hours afterwards ifc will be found vibrating over the diameter from VII to I. To make this intelligible is by no means an easy task. In order to do it. let an observer sup pose himself to stand at the North pole of the earth. If the time be summer, he will see the sun travel round the horizon once in 24 hours. In other words, such an observer being in the axis of motion of the earth while the sun is sta tionary, is turned quite about, returning always to the same position in which he was first, once every 24 hours. This is the diurnal motion of the earth. The sun's apparent motion is the real motion of such an observer. Now, suppose this same observer were to remove from his post, and place there a circular table some six or ten feet in diameter, whose centre shall be in the axis of the earth, or right over the spot where he stood. This table would turn round, in like manner, once in 24 hours, and if a vibrating pendulum could be so supported over it so as not to partake of the* motion of the earth and table—i. e., if it could be made to vibrate (over the centre of the table) so as always to keep in the same direction or plane—then such a pendulum would appear to pass consecutively over every part of the periphory of the table once in 24 hours. Or, to speak more correctly, the table which has a cir cular movement with the earth, would present every portion of its circnmferenee under the pen dulum, which is always supposed to move in the same rectilinear direction without reference to thejmotion of the earth. Now it is possible to suspend and cause to vibrate a pendulum in the manner described. Therefore it is dossible to perform the experiment. When motion is impressed upon a pendulum, causing it to vibrate in a certain plane, natural laws induce it always to remain there. If the pendulum be suspended by a strong Iran bar, it will then constantly change its plane of vibra,-* tion with the motion of the earth—i, e., of the point to which it is fixed above. But thi* ts pre cisely what it will not do if it he suspended from a delicate silver or copper wire, for then if the pendulum be of the weight of several pounds it* power of vibration, or its momentum, will be so great as to prevent it from obeying the tendency otthe wire to turn round with the fixed point from whfoh it is suspended. Or, in other words, the lightness, flexibility and yielding character of t“ e . permit a certain degree of torsion or twisting, so that this onward and direct move ment of the pendulum is as little disturbed (with in certain limits) as though the pendulum were; | absolutely independent of the rotation of tb/C earth. e If our observer be supposed now to set pr , . table and pendulum in the latitude of % a r d the same results would be observed— nr 4 i : t,ve condition of things is Here the vertical line passing:‘.hron S tlf } he c™ to of the table, no longer corresponds with the axis of the earth. It is oblur ae p . wren ine axis obliquity is measured ’ey the a?" the , an S fe oi 90 deg. and the latitude ofT ..“ifference between revolution of the earth ° ‘“ ls place , Butln °" e the table still describes r ' ny Pa rt ‘™!ar point on pendulum It is not ‘ ,“ nd ? r the ine this, but it car le imag round ruler, and > '** th . us P rov ?

Now cause the first I™ 1 , which represents the axis of the earth, to of olve carefully on itself, always maintaining ne same angle, and it will be seen that a notch made on the circular end of the other will pass F entirely round and return back to the position j from which it started in one revolution. What we mean is, that this point on the circular end ot the second ruler, will not only revolve round. , the first ruler, but that it will have another revo -■ lution round the axis of the ruler to which it be longs. Now if any heavy body be out of contact with, the earth, it does not partake of the circular mo tion round its axis. This body in question, hov,-. ever, being suspended from a fixed point as ah j0 ve is impelled by those two motions which* affect the earth—the one carrying the planet forward in its annual orbit round the sun, the of her that which causes it to spin round its own axis once a day. Hence its motion is a tangential one and is the resultant of the two motions above indica ted, and is a diagonal with regard to them. The twisting only once round in twenty-four hours oi the long and delicate wire, is a force very in significant when compared with the vibratine power oi a weight of several pounds. The wire is sufficient to sustain the weight, but not to communicate to it that rotary motion to which its point of suspension is subjected. Though the table below, and the point of suspension above and indeed the whole apparatus, partake of the motion of the earth round its axis, yet the plan in which the pendulum vibrates is entirely ind e pendent of this axial motion, for the reas e " above indicated. The pendulum then wiP ons pear to travel round all parts of the table ‘ f* 1 ' it, though in reality it only vibrates alv un . the same plane, while it is the table thr / ays ln round.
