Nay, possibly if we would
emancipate ourselves from
vulgar notions, and raise our
thoughts as far as they would
reach. to a closer conte m plation
Of things. we might be able to
aim at some time and seeming,
some conseplion how matter
might at first be made, and be-
gin to exist oy the power of that
eternal first Being; out to give
beginning and Being 10 a spirit,
would be found a more incon.
ceivable effect of omnipotent
power.
But this BEING what would
perhaps lead us too far from the
notions on which the philosophy
now in the world is built, it
would not be pardonable to de.
via,e, so far from them; or to
inquire, so far as grammer Itself
would authorize, ii the common
settled opinion opposes it;
especially in this place, where
the received doctrine serves
well enough to our present
purpose, and. leaves this past
doubt that the creation or
beginning of any one subs tance
out of nothing Being once
admitted the creation of all
others, but the Creator himself
may with the same ease. be
supposed.
But you will say. is it not i'm
possible to admit Of the making
any thing out of nothing, since
we cannot possibly conceive it?
l answer. No. First, because
it is rot reasonable to deny the
power Of an infinite Being, upon
lhis ground, because we cannot
com prehend its operations.
We do not deny o,her effects
upon this ground, because We
cannot possibly conceive the
manner of the production. VIZ
cannot conceive how anything
but impulse Of body, can move
body; and yet that is not a rea
son sufficient 10 make us deny i

experience we have of it in our
selves; in all our voluntary mo

There seems to be some foundation
for the rumOr which has been circulAt-
1nx In political circles for the past sew
eral weeks to the effect that Governor
Sidney ]. Cats does not intend to
appoint al Of those who are demo-
cratic nominees for state ofhces, but
plans to MI some Of these places with
men Who were his personal support
era. As this Information comes from
those who were particularly active in
the conduct Of his campaign it would
seem to be entitled to special credence
however much It may be inconsistent
with his party pledges and his recent
announcement to the people OF Flor
ida as to his policies.
1t is understood that one of those
slated to be replaced is General ].
Clifford r. Foster, who was nominated
in the primary for reappointment as
adjutant general. Those who know
General Foster are well aware that
he has consistently endeavored to
keep the National Guard out Of poll
tics, and 1t was the observance of this
policy which has apparently gotten
him into the bad graces of the incom-
ing administration In other words,
it was because Of his refusal of the
request made by the political man
ager for Mr.. Cats that he take an
active part In the campaign of the
latter for the goyernorship.
The present adjutant general is a
man not afraid to stand up for his
convictions or to pursue course
which he deems consistent or proper.
And interesting sidelight upon the sit.
uation Is that it is said to have been
brought about by the fundamentally
