NATIONS AND RAcEs.-It has been
commended By some writer's, .hat all inn
provement and progress originate in,
and are carried forward by, some espe-
cial and high favored race. Others
maintain that these benefits are derived
solely from the fusion of races, and
their active and incessant conflicts
with one another. But nations are
nothing more than collections Of indi-
viduals on large scale. and like indi-
viduals. their prominent acts are deter
mined BY great emergencies, which de-
velop The full extent of their capacities
and resources. Hence. those raiions are
greatest which have endured most and
struggled most TO subdue earth; to UNI
told the hidden sources Of its riches
and knowledge, and to increase and
propagate the manifold arts OF civiliza
lion.

ExfRcrsE.-At least two hours a-day
should be spent in the open air. When
the weather is such as not to permit the
delicate to 60 abroad, Mr.. Abernethy adj
vises the windows to be thrown open,
and exercise 10 be then taken by walking
up and down the apartments of the house
Walking is the most natural and con.
yenient exercise, and, to the healthy
and robust, perhaps the best. Riding
on horseback, especially to the dyspep.
tic. and TO those who are threatened
with consumptive complaints, has been
highly extolled by physicians. and with
justice. DR.. Paris recommends digging
in garden as useful and agreeable ex-
ercise. The best time for taking exer-
cise,. is three or four hours after meal,
when digestion has been completed,
when the nutritious chyle has entered
the blood vessels, and when the body
feels refreshed and invigorated.

ED.-It was objected to the system of
Copernicus when first brought forward,
that If the earth turned on its axis, as
he represented, stone dropped from
the summit Of tower would not fall
at the foot of it. but great distance to
the west; tn the same manner as a Stone
dropped from the masthead ofa ship in
full sail. does NOT fall at the foot of The
mast, but foWards the Stern. To this
it was answered that stone, being a
part OF the earth. obers the same
laws. and moves with it-whereas it is
no part of the ship. Of which conse-
quently its motion is independent. This
solution was admitted by some, but OPP
posed by others-and the controversy
went on with spirit nor was it ill one
hundred gears after the death Of Copper
nicus that the experiment being tried,
it was ascertained that the stone, thus
dropped from the head of tho mast, does
fall at the foot of it Alp. Whatel,y.

Secretaries, whose nomination was ratified.
The contested seat of the Representative
Delegate from Columbia and Montour, was
taken up, when Col. Valentine Best occu-
pied his l5 minutes in review Of the To-
cal quarrel in that District, which he per-
formed with such good taste, such humor,
and clinching his position as he went along
with stubborn facts, that he won the ut
most attention, and loud and repeated ap.
plause. The Coils speech should be pub

have been admitted but for the fact that
neit.er claimant had majority of the
Counties or Of the Conferees Mr.. JOIN

New Court House-NeW County.

Agreeable to previous notice, large
portion of the citizens of Freeburg and
vicinity assembled in the school house, on
Monday evening, the 2Sth of February,
for the purpose of giving an expression Of
opinion on the subject of building a new
Court House in the borough of New Ber-
lin, when the following officers were ap-
pointed: President, ELIAS Il. MENGEs.
Wee Presidents, Henry Hilbish, Henry
Reigle, Ludwig Arbogast Secretary, AL
exander Bertch. The meeting was ad-
dressed by several of the citizens, and the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That We view any action in
regard to building Court House in New
Berlin as useless, and dangerous to the
welfare Of Union county, as the citizens
here are altogether opposed to the same,
and would DC viewed as an unjust act in
those who would be the means Of bringing
this deb; upon us.
That we have been silent, and looking
on all the public moves that have been
made in the county in order to saddle a
burthcn upon us as citizens Of the same,
We will now protest against any course to
increase our obi cations, and raise our taxes,
through useless extravagances to such an
amount that We can never agree to pay
them
Whilst We express our grateful thanks
to our brethren of New Berlin for thciI
kind treatment towards Us in years gone
by, nevertheless it seems that this is an
age of improvement, and We all look to
our own interest. In regard to the moves
that have been made in the northeastern
part of our county, in favor of IA division,
we will now heartily subscribe to, and hope
that the day is not far distant when such
a result may be brought about.
That We deem it right to make known
our views in regard to the same, and hope
that some action will be taken by our
brethren who may be favorable to this
move, and make their views known to the
public, as we now do in declaring that We
are in favor of an immediate division of
Union County, and Penns Creek to be the
dividing line.
That we are ready, and, with unanimous
consent, cooperate with the citizens of the
northern, western, and eastern part Of the
county, in an effort to secure Legislative
action, by petitioning to that body, imme-
diatcly, for the desired division Of Union
County. and sincerely hope that tney will
attend to their and our interests without
delay.
That the views expressed in the Union
Demokrat, with reference to the new
Court House, meets with our entire appro-
baton, and We recognize in its Editor the
bold and fearless champion Of the peoples
rights.
That the proceedings of the meeting be
published in the Union Dcmokrat and
Lewisburg Chronicle, aud all papers
throughout the county favorable to the
same.
