TO THE PLOUGH BOY

Dear Sir-Cculd find your smode Of rea-
soning" true, should certainly like it as wei
as that Of any other person. You must, how
ever ALLOW he to tell you that, in your first two
figures, you have violated some of the most es
sential principles of elementary geometry
Look at those figures again. Behold the frs
angle of the first figure and The fourth angle o.
the second are reeItra,at angles! What RIGHT
had you to turn part Of the figure inside out.
You see no shape, no word of any such angle
In Euclid Hear what an eminent ge0meri-
clan says of them:-'The consideration of an
giles, greater than two right-angles, does not
enter into elementary geometry, and is indeed
at variance with the definition of an angle
Two rightangles form the ultimate extent of
angular magnitude" Now, in your first fig
ure, you have an angle equal to 1890 46', in
your second, 1850 so. No bearings were gi-
ven In the problem; you were not, therefore,
compelled to form such angles;-and while you
have made assumptions contrary to the estab-
lished principles OF geometry, Professor Ham
llton had ample reasons to know that the trape-
zium must be inscribed in a circle, not only
from the relative lengths of the sides, but be-
cause it was said that two of them subtended
circular arcs.
Besides, you know that in the solution of a
problem, you must take all its acquisitions into
view. Now, how would you draw the divis-
ion lines, as required in your first two figures?
One or more Of these lines would evidently pass
outside your plats, and consequently cut off a
portion Of some other PERSONS land.
IN your third figure, you approach very near
the true form, but all the division lines would
not terminate on the river bank, as required.
Your fourth figure is altogether incompre-
hensible. Can you make triangle out of four
given lines Of different lengths2 Are not four
points. A, B, c, d, universally recognised as
the Characteristic If quadrilateral? How
would it otherwise be possible Tor the faculty
of abstraction to comprehend a geometrical de-
scription You must feel conscious, that you
have cruelty taxed your ingenuity, purely with
view to distoft the problem Allow NE,
therefore, to repeat, that it will be impossible
for any man, having regard to the whole prob
lem, to find any olher answers than those that
have been given.
sincerely hope you will abandon the idea,
that this problem was thrown out to the public
at hazard. Be assured, that every part of
it underwent careful calculation, before it
was published. How otherwise should the
lengths of the arcs have been determined e
How could it have been known, that Inc divis-
ion lines would all terminate at the river? Ard
permit me to add, that in the exercise Of your
honorable vocation, if you suffer Your brain 10
become entangled in the gossamer of acatalep
sia, at every ''old fantastic root" or primeval
stump you chance to encounter in following the
plough, your paternal fields viii forever re-
main unfurrowed. N. M.

AMERICAN MINISTER TO MEXICO.
I'VE are sorry to learn, by the latest
advices from Mexico, that the govern
ment has Indignantly refused 10 recog-
MISE the minister recently sent from the
u. s., MIR. SLIDELL, who was invested
with power to settle the difficulties ex-
listing between the two countries, rela-
tive to the annexation of Texas TO the
Union and heunseitled claims ofourcit-
izens against the Mexican government.
We regret this the more, because we
consider the conduct Of our own poy-
eminent, in holding out to Mexico
poor, weak, distracted Mexico-the
olive branch Of peace, as being mag
unanimous. just and right. If we had
done her injustice in annexing Texas
land we have shown to the civilized
world that we had not I'VE were pte.
pared, nay, anxious, to repair the iniu-
ny, by honorable means. But, in the
midst of her disquietude and intestine
connections, she sparns the profered
hand of friendship, and offers TO the
nation direct and palpable insult.
Mr. SLIDELL is still waiting for orders
from this government; and we think ii
probable that he will, and right that
he should be Immediately recalled.
