The Ecliptfc.

Some time since ga plain and cJncise expla.
nation of the c~cliptic" was asked for, and we
now proceed to give ona that we believe to be
such. The ecliptic may be regarded in a two.
fold sense first in regard to the heavens, and
second. in regard to the earth. If we take
the first view of it we may define it as the
great circle which the sun appears to describe
annually among the star and like every 9TH
.er circle, contains three hundred and sixty de-
grees, and it is divided into twelve equal arcs
of thirty degrees, each called signs which the
%ancients distinguished by particular names
The plane of tbs circle NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
two eq2al parts. 1t crosses the Equator OBJ
iiquely, running across the Torrid Zone. dag
ORALLY, touching the Tropic of Cancer at the
Northern Soils ticial and the Tro2ic; of Capri
corn at the Southern Solsticial roint. Then
according to this view of the subject we would
lief &c it to he the orbit of the earth.
But in speaking of tho ecliptic in relation to
the earth, we would regardthis-aefuTtion as
vague ~and4tadefnite We would define it as
fellows 1t is evident that the sun shines di-
r-ctIy upon the Tropict of Cancer, which is
twenty three and ope.half degrees North of
the EQUATOR, on the 2lst of June. AS the
Garth r~erolves in its orbit the direct rays of
the sun will fall South of the Tropic, and they
will continue to recede, crossing the Equator
on the 23d of September, till finally they will
fall directly on the Trepic of Capricorn on tic
21st of December. Thus tbe direct rays. of
the sun have Inscribed a eilcle obliduely-
across the Torrid Zone, which may be termed
the ecliptic. and hence, in the latter sense it
may be briefly defined as the circle which the
direct rays of the sun inscribc upon the earth
iniits revolution around the sun. sH

Many will answer heitttsr, We win answer
sn. too, Int unnie.ss a Different management of

nevertheless may be imposed apon aus as an
alternate. lfsueh should be the case we for
one will answer, let the New England States
go, for in that cyeut wcJi1 hare a lasting
and permanent peace. Should slavery be
abolished tomorrow, and this vexed question
be forever settled, New Englanders would
the countryeal their h~ercsics, political and re-
lisious, and had taken to themselves the entire
management. of the Government.
- They are not content with being equals
Although they preach for equality of the
blacks with the whites, it is with q sinister
purpose, and the hepe through this equality TO
assume a dictatorship which will make the PEG.
pie OF all the other States slaves for them.
Their policy frem the begiRning of the
Government has been to make all others pay
tribute to them first, by commerce., then by
protective tariffs, and now in the abolition of
Slavery. They will next try on their Unita-
%rianism, Congregationalism, or Independent
ism, as the established religion of the country,
and thus supply places for horde of itincrant
religions beegafs at the expense OF the people.
Their ancestors emigrated to this country, be-4
cause they could not control the Government
of England, and when in Holland, fool the
Dutch, and from the day of their landing in
Plymouth, until the present time, to grasp the
reins of government and ride rough shod over
all others, has been their favorits object.
1t their must be a division then of this coun-
try, let New England GU by herself; We can
get along q great deal letter without than with
her. In this event we would at least get clear
of people whose sole disposition is to rule,
and then carry on an organized system o. pub
