allow the delegates to go there in the
meantime the Richmond Convention
was to be called together again when

the delegates would go to Baltimore,
except those from South Carolina, who
were sent to Richmond only. All but
the South Carolinians, WHO arc fine

other delegation till they return and
take joint action with them. The dis

Lorenzo Stratton, Of Cattaraugus
county, thinks gseat advantage would
result from an extensive domestication
of the elk. New York alone, he says,
might support 1 100000 elks on lands
where our domestic cattle could not
subsist, furnishing an amount Of veni-
son almost incredible ;while the adjoin-

SIZE OF HUMAN RAcE.-The largest
circle Of the terrestrial globe Of uniform
temperature is the equator. Those
running parallel to this, as, for exam
pie, the tropics, polar circles, &c., di.
minish as they approach either pole. -
The stature Of the human race, espec-
tally that Of men, likewise lessons,
Though not to the same extent at all,
from the equatorial and tropical regions
towards the poles. In the warm lati-
tudes are found races Of men of large
dimensions dwindling in the cold re,
gions Of the high ATTITUDES, SO it may be
affirmed that men grow low in proper
ton as the latitude is high. as.g s'al
But women are more uniform in size
than men, being Of nearly equal height
in places where men vary very much in
size.' In regions where males are much
taller than the average, the women con-
tinue about the same medium dimen-
sion. "a % ~ -5--
The fact, too, appears from the his
toric monuments, that the size Of the
race in general has not varied from the
earliest ages, and that men and women
are now of the same dimensions as they
we're before the period Of Moses. This,
we suppose, is amply corroborated by
the evidence afforded by thousands Of
mummies, which have been recently
unrolled after lying hidden for thirty
and forty centuries perhaps in the cat
acombs OF Egypt. y u i z
