Similar electrical states repel. And, 3d. When bodies are in their natural state, they are in a perfect equilibrium or a balance, exerting neither an attractive nor a repulsive influence. In opposition to two electrical fluids, whose exist- ence was maintained by Du Fay, Symmer, Coulomb, Turner, and Thompson, which theory I consider un- philosophical, I will here quote the opinions of Dr. Franklin, the celebrated electrician of our own coun- try, who took strong and decided ground against this ...doctrine. For it, he substituted the more simple theory of one fluid, and attempted to account for all the various phenomena of attraction and repulsion by the differ- ent states, or degrees, or volumes of electricity, which he called plus or positive arid minus or negative. When a body had more than its natural share, it was ORGANIC LAWS OF ELECTRICITY. 139 considered to be in a plus or positive state, and when it had less than its natural share, it was considered minus or negative. Bodies, upon this principal, are positive and negative relatively, or positive and nega- tive absolutely.
