EQUIVOCAL GENERATION.

However ridiculous it may now appear,
yet there was atme when philosophers
believed the me,erial elements possessed
he chemical power Of producing vegeta
blcs without conforming to the ordinary
laws Of generation. The cxertIon of this
extraordinary power, on account Of the I'M
certainty attending its results. was very
appropriately termed equvocal generation ;
but should think its absurdlly had been
long enough exposed to prevent its impo-
sing upon the most crednlous and unlhink
ing. But opposed as it is by all the laws
of nature so far os they are manifested by
known analogy, It occasionally attempts to
force ltselfupon our understanding, through
the medium Of some anomalous production
and there are men, even at the present
enlightened day, who, if they cannot explain
the phenomena of nature, will adopt an
Inconsistent doctrine, rather than ADM, the
loss Of facts sufficient to establish a theory
consist ent with known economy. Among
this class of theorists we should expect to
find writer in a late Genesee Farmer,
who from the facts that chess was found
growing in n field where i: was not known
to have been sown, and upon stalks of
wheat, the heads Of which had been bitten
off by a horse, infers that wheat is CONVEX.
ted into chess by some unknown process Of
nature.
Before we can consent TO become con
vcrts to the doctrine Of equivocal genera
ton. the writer must furnish more con.
elusive evidence-for cases of the kind
vastly stronger presented themselves and
been fully explained. The theory Of the
late President Dwight on these apparent
cases Of cquivocnl generation is simple, ra
tlonal, and, to our mind, satisfactory. He
says" The seeds Of vegetables, when
lodged beneath their stratum of earth,
within which they terminate, have no ap.
parent tendency to decay; but continue
to possess oil their vegctutivc power thro'

the existence of party adverse to those interests SO
esablished and the history of latter days, warrants
the belief that such party is in existence, but is
one which we must meet and combat on the thresh-
hold of our country. The political revolution which
we witness in England, and which is extending itself
gradually but surely the continent Of Europe, Is

authorizing the Committees on the House Of Industry,
Correction, and Reformation send alien paupers 10
