TON; AN oRIGiNAL VIEW OF THE NE
BERT NEWMAN, of Romney Virginia.
Ii is well known TO the scientific world ihatthe Co
perncan physical system of Astronomy, explained
by Sir Isaac Newton and others, was founded upon
the supposed fact that the Sun is stationary body,
and the planets whired round him in orbits return
ing into themselves, upon one general and pervading
principle, which Sir Isaac Newton called grarita-
ton.
To this il is objected
lst That the Sun is not a stationary body, but is
moving on in his grand orbit harmoniziDg with all
the other systems composing the Universe, and car
rying his planets Jupiter or the Earth carry their
Moons; and that no one planet desc ibeS a path
which returns into itself.
ID 1t Is we'll known 10 all scientific men that Sir
Isaac Newt relied upon what he called his central
procetiic and gravitaing forces through an empty
fsld to account for all the phenomena exhibited by
the planetary bodies.
To this il is also objected:
1s That The whole Universe is filled with the
Electro. Magnetic Maerel, possessing the necessary
and appropriate elasticity, and which is arranged
as to enable Us, when the arrangement is understood,
10 clearly how every item of the phenomena is
Produced. But this cannot be understood until the
requisite diagrams are exhibited and which will APP
pear in the work now proposed for publication.

all men Of science the vast difference which must

and PtgSieat system with progressive sun and also

out OF his course by travelling sun but he will on
The contrary, see more distinctly his way through
the sublime machinery by which our system is
welded, and kept in its appointed position in the
wide range OF creation and that no one system can
