TO THE EDITORS OF THE CINCTN5TATT OAZ1. TTE. 
Remarks on “ Galileo's” strictures on 
Mr. Tufts' wooden Globe experiment. 
Cincinnati Reading Hoorn, Oct. 2, lbl9. 
Messrs. Editors— Your paper of yes¬ 
terday contains some republished stric¬ 
tures on Mr* Tnflfts wooden globe exper¬ 
iment m relation to the new theory* which 
I see has been inserted in several news¬ 
papers. Although they are not address¬ 
ed to me, altho’ they allude to me in a 
disrespectful manner, and altho’ it is 
doubtful whether the writer felt as he 
wrote ; yet, as he affects to vindicate the 
cause of religion, I shall undertake an an¬ 
swer to his objections. He endeavors to 
show, by a very far fetched inference, 
that my theory of the rotation producing 
the hollow spheres, $'c. as treated ol by 
Mr. Tuffts, is in a degree opposed to re¬ 
ligion. I will just remark to the readers 
of those strictures, that so far from my 
theory or any part of it derogating from 
the acknowledged attributes and powers 
of the Creator, I have all along thought 
and still think, that the theory, it found 
and acknowledged to be a truth, must & 
will greatly increase our veneration for 
and sensibility of the powers of the God¬ 
head ; which idea I trust my writings 
have already shewn, especially my 3d tjj* 
Cth numbers. 
I was taught to read at school almost 
entirely in the bible and testament, (as 
children ought now-a-days to be taught— 
for as a child is trained so will he incline 
to continue;) and so strongly wa3 my be¬ 
lief in them riveted thereby, that were 
it possible for a Voltaire or a Paine to 
shake my faith for a moment, it would re¬ 
turn again spontaneously. I feel what I 
yesterday heard a student of the College 
recite at the examination; that, 
“ I cannot go 
“ Where universal love not. smiles around, 
“ Sustaining all yon orbs and all their suns.”
