ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE
The steam ship Hermann arrived at New York,
last Saturday afternoon, from Southampton, hav.
ing tuken her departure from that place on the tith
inst, and bringing adviees one day later than
those received by the Culedonia. ‘The French
National Assembly had appoimted M. Buchez,
President.
The following are extracts from foreign papers
by this arrival.
The most important event was the formal Proc
lamation of the Republic, by the Assembly of
France, in the presence of 2000000 of the prople.
O this formality the Paris eorrespondent of the
Times gives this account :
The subjoined conelusion of yvour report from
the Chamber of Representatives will s?l‘uw you
that the veteran Republican seldier, General
Courtais interrupted a warmm and sowewhat de
sultory discussion on Thurslay on the necessity
for the unqualiicd adoption by the Asscably of
the Republie with these words :
* Citizen Representatives. —The people demand
that the members of the l'mvi-innu‘ Governent
have the goodness to preseat thewselves ta them
on the portico of the Palace (Chamber,) and that
the National Assembly have the goodness to ac
conpany them."
'This proposition was receive] with Joud exela
mations, in which cheering vastly predominated,
When silence was in some degree restored, Gene
ral Courtais added—" In consequence, 1 propose
that the Provisional Government and the citizen
representatives proceed to the portico of the Pal-
This took place ahout half past b o'clock,
The mass of people procecded to the bridge
which separates the Place de la Concorde trom
the Chawbor of Representatives,
The seene that prescnted itsolf defics deserip
tion. The colors of the National Guards had heen
brought within the railing by the time that 1 ar
rived. Something was wanting, bt it was soon
forthcoming. * The colors of the army” were
called for i voices of thunder. They were brought
forward, and then recommenced the proclamation
ol the Republie, the aceeptance of it, and the
fraternization of the 20th ot” April ; but it would
seem that the enthusiasm yesterday surpassed
that observable on the day just mentioned, and it
was stimulated by the thunder of the cannon of
the Invalides.”
I have not time for further deseription. The
Republic was proclaimed and accepied unequivo
clly by the National Assembly, in the prescnee
o MOOOO of the poeple of Paris. * Wae to those,
or to any class who shall occasion doubts of the
siheerity of that acceptation.” I hear at every
side lu-Ju)’. “To retro ot impossible. The slightest
appearance of reaction will raise Paris in flamcs
and deluge its sirects with Mood.”
From all that I have scen and heard, this is the
goneral impression produced by the events of yes
terday.
The following proclamation was posted up on
the walls of PParis vesterday mornine ;
“ The Nutional Assembly, the faithful interpre
ter of the sentiments of the people, by whom it
has been elected previous to cemmmencing its la
bhors,—
“ Deelares, in the name of the French People,
and in fuce of the entire worll, that the Repullie,
proclaimed on the 2th of Pebraary, 1818, is,
and shall remain, the form of the Government of
France.
* The Government desired by France has adopt
cd the motto, ** Liberty, Equality, Fraternity,”.
“ In the name of the country. the National As
scmbly entreats Frenchmen of every political party
to forget former teuds, and to form in future but
one family. The day on which the representa
tives of the people met is for all the citizens the
feast of concord and froternity, * Viee la Re
publique !’
The Times adds:
“ The letter of our private correspondent just
received, is occupicd with that important proeced
ing. but it reters to another and not less momen
tous question—War, Al the accounts thet had
reached himled to the apprehension that awar between
F'rance and Austria wras all but inevitable.”
Donations continued to be reecived from indi
viduals, Citizen Choisnard, of Paris, had ad
dressed 25,000 f (£1000) to Citizen Ledra Rollin
us a gift to the Republic,
Several circumstances concurred in Paris. May

STILL LATER=AND TilE LATEST!
We have reecived by Eleeteie Telegraph from
London to Southampton from our correspondent
in London, the following dispateh, Wllit"l gives
onc day's later intelligcence from Franee, inclad
ing the important election of a President of the
Asscbly
Paris, Friday Evening, May sHth.
The National Assembly met at noon, and aficr
verification of powers, the ballot for the election
of President commenced. It opened at 4 o'c'ock
and closed at 6, when M. Buchez was declared
}’x' sident. Paris was tranquil when the dispateh
eft.
M. Puehiez was the candidate advocated by the
“douranl Des Debats” against M. Trelat,” who
wos put forth hy the National Asscinbly as the
candidate of the Provisional Government.
Considerable uncasiness prevailed, and an im
pression is entertained that the Proclamation of
the Republic yesterday was the result of intimida
tion by the mob outside through Gen. Courtuis
nod other partisans of the Ministry.
Ttis said the Repre<entatives were foreed into
that pracecding bhyits being intimated to them that
itsrelusal would be attended with daneer.
Another report is, that a compromise has taken
place between the two parties, and that three con
suls will be proposed —Dupont (D'Lure,) Lamar
tine, and M. Ledru Rollin,
Such w eoalition would sutisfy no party, and

ImportaNT FROM HAvri—The schooner Isaac
Franklin, Captain Crosby, in 13 days (rom Cape
Haytien. arrived at this port yclh-rclu‘\"[ alternoon.
sShe sailed on the 9thinst. In Cape Haytien and
other ports on the north part of the Island, all was
quiet but at Port an Prince terrible seenes were
enneting. It seems that a portion of the inhabi
tnts remonstrated with President Sologue agzainst
certain of his measures, when he arrested cighity
of their number and had them shot in cold blood.
‘"his atrocions act aroused the slambering discon
tent of the fricnds of the murdered ones, who flow
to arms. President Soloque collected his tioops
and marched against them. He met them on l’nc
way. a skirmish ensued and Le was driven back
to Port au Prince. :
It is hard to trace the course of ull these trou
bles. It is stated that Soloque has systematically
exeluded the yellows (who though the minority,
are the most intelligent aad substantial portion of
the inhubitants) from all participation in the
offices of Government, and has l‘cp‘n(‘t d them by
blacks who are ignorant and incapable. 1t was
probably upon the remonstranee of the yellows to
this proseription, that their massacre was deeided
upon.
At the latest accovnts all the influcntial men
ofthe yellows in and ahout Port au Prinee. were
either killed orin prison Whether these troubles
will spread o all paris ofthe Isdand and a bloody
war of castes ensue is of course all conjecture. The
news from this quarter has always been wrapped
in mystery, and the present is no exception to the
rule.
Letters reeeived by the owners of the Tsaae
Franklin, Messrs. B, €. Clark & Co., state that the
terrible bloodghed at Port au Prinee struck horror
to all minds. Noone could prediet how it would
end. but it was thought that it might rese't in the
deposition if not death of Sologue. I the fricnds
of those whom he has so eruelly murdercd should
grain the ascendancy. a terrible petribution oy Le
visited upon him and his adherents.
Business had entirely ccased at Port an Prinee.

graplie despateh, dated Louisville, May 21, 184=;
By the arrival of Major Meek, from the West,
we have late and importint news from Ovregon,

From Caviz.—Advices by the steamer, from
Npain, give us but very little information as tothe
eficet of the news of the Freneh Revolution upon
that country, generally. It was at first announced
that the news had exeited but very little feeling
there, This was doubtful, as Spain, ‘as well s
France, is a country of Revolutions. Afterwards,
upon the outhreaks in Madrid, the Spanish pa
pers reluctantly acknowledged that there was soine
dissatisfuction. The last stcamer’'s news stated
that a Revolution was hourly expeeted. The hark
Miquelon, Capt. Hurd, which sailed from Cadiz
on the 11th ot April, and arrived at this port yes
terday, brings the latest dircet news from that part
of Spain. Capt. Hurd sfates that when he left,
thoursh a revolution had not broken out. it was
daily expeeted to take place. Ruamors came into
Cadiz thick and fast from the adjacent regions of
disafiection to the existing Government, and Re
volution was the talk of every one. The Govern
ment had large bodies of soldicrs there, but whe
ther they would fight against the people, wus a
doubttul question,
‘The financial erisis in Furope had reached Ca
diz, and doubts of the ability of the Bank of Ca
diz to withstand the pressure were publicly ex
pressed. Should the Bank fuil, it woull be a
dreadtul blow to Cadiz and that part of Spain.

Democratie National Convention,
-~ We give below the procecdings of the National
Convention, in a condensed form, so far as we
Aind themin the New York and Baltimore papers.
It is nscless for us to attempt to give the debates,
ns they would more than till our entire sheet,—
We were present during the early sittings of the
Caonvention; and i we regretted the exeitement
which grew out of our differences in New York,
and which, in some degree, destroyed the harmo
ny ol'its proceedings, we were exceedingly pleas
ed with the noble tone of the speakers generally,
and especially with the glorious accounts they
gave we of the state of our eanse in ditferent parts
of the Union. We hope to tind room, herealter,
for much that was said in our hearing, and much
more that comes to ns in the later proceedings.
The Convention dirst met on Monday at 12 o'
clock in the large church of the Universalist So

Mr. Solomon, of Ala.,, was anxious that New
York should vote upon this question.
Mr. Yancey was opposed to deviating from old
usages, He spoke in favor of the two-thirds rule,
and in the cowrse off s remearks he said the ‘de
mocracy’ could do without New York., [Great
applanse. )
Mr. Morse, of La., spoke against the two-thirds
rade. He said that in 1541 this rule had disap
pointed the “democracy,” aud that now, it adopted,
it might spring upon the people some ‘outsider.’
, Mr. Bowden, of Ala., spoke enthusiastically of
Mr. Polk’s adininistration, and in opposition to
Mr. Morse’s remarks., He was muach c‘merml.
M v. Hamlin, of Me., favored the two-thirds rule,
and lenounced the term ‘ontsiders,’
Mr. Yancey could not believe that Mr, Morse

Mr. Morse made what was deemed a satisfacto- ‘
ry explanation. \
Mr. Pompson, of New Jersey, said that he had
no political preference, Heknew no ‘outsiders.’

A special correspondent of the Pennsylvanian
reports by "Telegraph Tue«day eveningas follows:
The Convention met at 5 o'clock, and received
the report of the committee on the eredontials of
the New York delegation, assigning seats to the
Syracnse delegates, T'he committee stated that
they had asked pledges of hoth (la-h-u:!liun-. hefore
examining their eredentials, to sustain the nomi
nee of the Convention, be he whom he may. -
The Syracnse delegates gave the pledge, hut the
Utiea .’.".u vefised, and henee the committee re
ported in favor of the Syracuse list, ‘
A spirited debate then arose on the report of
the committes, which was finally laid on the table,
an 't a pesolution adopted, giving both of the New
York delogaiions a privilege to address the Con
vention, through two ol each of their representa
tives toamorrow morning=—each speaker to ocen
py one hour. You may, therefore, expect a vote
on the direct business of the Convention some
time to-morrow evening—the New York speakers
will consume four hours of the morning session.
THIRD DAY.
On motion, all Revolationary soldiers were ad
mitted to seats on the floor.
Mr. Boggs, of North Carolina, submitted a pre
amble and resolutions, to the cflect that whereas
there are two sets of delegates from New York,
ench elaiming to represent the demoeracy of that
State, and whereas itis impossible for the Conven
tion to decide this important and intricate question,
having no evidenee L.-l'uro' thewm, but that furnish
ed by themselves, both of whom were interested
parties, and
Whereas it was conceded that each delegate
represented large sections of the democracy of
New York, and it was important that the said
State should be fully repres nted, thervefore, be it
Resolved, I'hat both delegations be admitted to
seats in this Convention, and be entitled to vote on
all questions, X
At the ro@fiu-.«t of the mover of these resolutions
they were laid on the table, to be herealler called
up.
The Convention then proceeded to the consider
ation of the order of the day, it being the defence
of the opposing New York delegations, those
chosen as speakers on the respective sides.
The Hon, Mr. Dickincon appeared on the side
of the vulgarly called Hunker section, and addres
sed the Convention till the expiration of his hour,
He was followed by Mr. Smith, on the opposite
side,
The matter was further discussed hy members
of the Conventidn, down to the time of adjourn-
ment, (
Evesivg Sessiov. —The convention convened
at Hore.m., when My, Drake, of Pennsylvania, sub
mitted a resolution to the convention proposing
that whereas the Syvracise Convention was regu

tion of delegates to vllm National Convention; and
as those rules were not abrogated by any compe

Resolved, that the Syracuse Delegation are en
titled to their seats 1 this Convention.
Mr. Thompson, of N. J., submitted a resolution
asserting that the convention found it ditheult to
decide in the intricate question presented to it and
referring the matter back 1o the Democracy off
New York without prejudice to either party.
A warm debate here ensned, which was only
arrested by a eall for the previous question. The
call was sustained.
'he question was then taken on the amendiment
proposing that both delegations be admitted to
seats in the convention, and be entitled to the nnn
ber of votes which that ¥tate is entitled to in the
electoral college, "This proposition was adopted
as a substitute (not finally adopted)=—ayes 126, nays
125, T'he convention thenadjonrned to 9 o'clock
Thursday wmorning.
FOURTIT DAY.
The convention was called o order by the Pres
ident at 9 Ao The minutes of the preceding
day were read and approved.
The President stated the pending question was
the amendiment, whieh was the ground of the a
mendiment adopted last evening. "Uhe previous
question pending allowed no debate. Mr. Hous
ton of "Texas, asked leave for explanation, which
the convention refused to hear.
- The vote was then taken b States, on the a
mendment of Mr, Yuncey, of .(Irll»:nn:n, as amend
ed by Mr. Bartdey, of Ohio, providing that hoth
delegations be admitted, with power jointly to ca st
their votes, to which the State is now entitled i'n
the electoral college, which was earried in the at ™
firmative by the following vote: Ayes L 3, noes:
120, "T'he vote on the previous guestion=—the
question of admitting the two sets of delegates,
conformably with the smnendments above adopted—
was now taken, and carvied in the affirmative by
yeas 833, naya 1150 "I'he only difference from the
first ballot this morniny is Massachusetts; 10 yeas
and 2 nays, and Missourt, 2 yeas and 4 nays, ~ So
the whole vote by States can be made out by a
brief comparison.
The President annonneed hoth delegations were
received into the brotherhinod of the convention.
Mr. Hannegan, of Indiana, suid that he felt
bound by instruetions from the Indiana State Con
vention, to submit the following resolution :
Resolved, that the New York delegation, known
as the Syracuse or Honker delegation, are right
fully entitled to cast the vote of the said State in
the convention.
A fourth edition of the New-York Express, with
intelligence from Baltimore to 4 o’clock p. m., of
Thursday, states that the above resolution of Col.
Hinnegan was rejected by a vote of 157 to 95
and that the Barnburners had asked leave to re=
tire and had left the convention—this we are in-
clined to beiieve a mistake, and await, with the ut-
most inpatienca for farther intelligence.
THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.
Our record of the Convention’s proceedings
extends to Thursday forenoon, beyodd which we
can hear nothing definite at the time of putting
our paper to press. The fire-brand thrown into
the Convention by the New York quarrel has
been doing its work, as we expected it wonld,
and three days of the session have heen spent
withont permanently disposing of it; at least with
ont reconeiling the contending parties, It is im
posible to say what effect will be produced by the
vote to admit both delegations; but we are in
clined to doubt that it ean tend to their union, or
the union of the people whom they represent.—
We look to the Convention, however, to sottle
“all matters of dispute in ome way—to adopt scme
measure, before its adjourmmnent, which shall tend
o a complete union of the party 5 or which shall at
Neast Jeave it possible for the two parties in New
York to come together without any sacrifice of
l principle or any appearance of stooping to disa
greeable necessity. . We ean elect our eandidate
iwm,.,m New York; but we cannot well afford to
| lose other States, the voters of which nay sympia
thise with an injured party. We have confidence
Ith:nt the Convention will perceive this quite as
i plainly as we do, and do all in its power to give
us union and vietory. It assembled with this de
termination. It we are not greatly deceived in
!tlu-. material off which it is composed, it will ae
ccomplish this purpose. It will at least nominate
la candidate on whom the conntry will unite, and
* who will be trinmphantly elected.
Gex. Scorr ar New York.—~The General ac
cepted the invitation from the eity euthorities of
New York, and on Thursday last at two o'clock
in the afternoon landed from the steamboat St.
Nicholas, at Castle Garden, amid the enthusiastie
cheers of the citizens, und the reverberations of®
salutes of artillery. "The steamboat had been dis
patched for the distinguished guest to Elizabeth
town Point in the morning, with members of the
Common Couneil and many invited guests, to ac
company the General and his suite. The Battery
was erowded with thousands eager to see and wel
come the hero of Vera Croz; and the flags from
the shipping in the harbor, the public buildings:
and hotels, made an imposing spectacle. A civi¢
procession was formed at the Battery, with a mil
itary escort under command of Gen. Sanford, and
woved throngh a part of Broadway and some oth
er streets, to the City Hall. A speech was made
at Elizabethtown by Alderman Franklin, and re
sponded to by the General, both of which were
in good taste. The windows and sidewalks of
Broadway and other streets were lined with hu
man fices to see the pageant, and the procession
was followed by throngs Gl it reached the City
Hall; and the ceremonies that were there gono
throngh were performed afler the latest papers wo
received from the eity had been issued, and for
this reason we can give no further account of
the proceedings of the day.
It i« now #id that the proposition of General
Worth which was subiitted to the conrt of inqu i

SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PLOPLY.
From the number for April 27th, of the South
ern Banucr, of Athens, Georgia, edited by Hop
kins Holsey, we take another of those stirring
passages on the subject of Popular Sovereignty,
with which every demoeratie reader is 56 highly
gratified. The vigor and ability with which this
paper s condueted, and its elear and decisive in
culeation of the sound doetrine of u'timate sover
eignty in the People, need no commendation from
s, The eloquence of onr Soathern friend finds
its way withont a prompter, to the intelligence
and sensibility of every Demoerat. We rejoiee
in the evidence we reccive from the Houth as well
as the North,—from all parts of the conntry,==that
the minds of the great mass of the People are ful-
Iy made up on this vitelly iinportant subjeet; and
that the supremacy of the People over their poli
tical institutions,=over all forms,—and all legisla
tive permission or opposition,—is firmly recogniz
ed as an axiom in the system of American Dewmoe
vacy, as it is in Franee, and will soon be through
ont all Europe.
THE RIGIIT OF 'THE PEOPLY TO AL
TER OR ABOLISH TUHEIR FORMS OF
GOVERNMENT.
It may be thought rather superfluons in us to
he repeating so often the socereign right ol the
people o modily or reconstruct their government,
as perhaps it may be said that no one denies it.—
Not =O, At least it was not =0 belore the recent
sweep of popular sovereignty over the continent
of Burope. It was whig doctrine from one ex
tremity of the Union to the other, and sanctioned
by a tew presses and individoals wiithi the naue of
democrats, that the people were not authorized to
move except at the point of the bayonet of the ex
istinz government, backed by the tederal troops to
proteet it against “domestic violence,” unless they
were anthorized by a previons call of the legisla
ture. And this very legislature, a 8 we might sup
pose, would often be the case, the cery pariy inte
rested to keep down reform ! Hach was the case
in Rhode Island, where that prowd and noble spirit,
THOMAS WILSON DORR, led o inajority of
the citizens of Rhode Island to aboilish the prop
erty qualification upon the right of voting, unler
the Charter of King Charles the Second ; but was
condemmed as a trattor against his country, with
the approbation of almost the entire whig party of
the Union, and against the protests of’ the demo
cracy. They ollered him has liberty to recant his
faith in the sovereignty of the people, but his lofty
soul spurned the saeritice, and his cagle spirit pined
in the State-prison of Rhode lund, in .-'oollit:u'y
continement, his eye permitted 1o rest only upon
a square inch ot the blue canopy of Heaven.
“The froec blue streams and the glowing sky,
And the bright world shut from his languid eye !
“Oh for a tongue to curse” the damning tyranny.
We shall continne to fortify this prineipal of
ropnlur sovereignty on all fit occasions=we shall
umnmer it into the whigs until they shall be afraid
to deny it
- We have need of reform in Georgin—the whigs
are no doubt content o let, what they call well
| enongh alone, and wounld probably refuse to eall
~a reform convention. . We may have need of the
i:u-kuuwlml;_u-nwm of" this great principle of the
sovercign power of a majority of the people by a
! spontaneous movement=—of their own will—with
out any invitation or permission from the legisla-
I tive body—to modily or reconstrnet their govern
ment. Our ancestors accomplished much with
the light shed upon them in their day and genera
tion—hut the true principles of free government
were far from either being fully developed, cloth
ed in a proper form, or sutliciently guarded. We
want an express recognition in the constitution of
that corner stone of the Republican edifice, that
‘the people are at all times c-[mlwd with the right
and power to reform their government—we want
the formula of enacting our laws changed, so that
they shall appear upon their fice to be “enacted
by the people of Georgia”=and prevent the mon
*trosity of a minority government charging the
wajonty with the erime of treason—we want the
will of the majority expiessed in the legislative
body by a reconstrnetion of the representation
ti-at shall attain that end-=we want a restoration
o “amnmual elections, in pursuance of the old maxim
o 1 the fathers of the revolution “where annual elec-
tiems end, tyranny begins”—we want an eleetive
Judiciary with a short terin of service, and depend
ent upon no earthly power but the people them
selves—we want the liberty of the press, that stern
and watchtul guardian of the people’s rights,
guarded by an explicit ackuowledgement of jts
rizht to speak without stint or eheck of the political
conduct of public men and publie bodies, «o 0 as to
prevent a recarrence of the disgraceful and tyran
nical scene which recently ocearred in the Seaate
of the United States—we want a check npon the
power of the legislature to enthrall sneceeding
generations with debt and chartered privileges—
in line we want the govermnent o re-constructed
L as to preserve that equality ol vights which is fast |
Fevaporting under the present system—=hnrryinz ns |

i that he was a whig who had stolen into the fold: |
| Resolred, That, according to the American doc- ‘
“ trine proclaimed in the declaration of independ- |
| ence, and expressly recognised in nearly all the |
- American constitutions, the sovercignty of a na- |
| tionor State resides in the people thereof, who l
. have the absolnte and indefeasible right at :myl
{ time, and in any mianner they may choose, to es- !
¢ tablish or to modify and amend ihe constitution
and forms of government under which they live ‘
! withont the consent of the few who ocenpy the
t places of power and authority, as rulers, wlw'lmr \
{ delegated or usarped; that itis a peaceful right,
tiie exercise of which, if permitted without molesta- |
| tion, will never be attended with violenee or blood- |
| shed ; but if opposed, and violence and bloodshed |
| ensue, the erime and the responsibility will ever |
1‘ be upon the heads of those who resist the exercise
of t'is great and sacred right of the people. ‘
Resolved, "That no danger can resnlt from the
broadest and most unqgualified recognition of the
right of the people 10 alter or re-con<titute ex
isting forms of government; beeause all history
| proves, in the language of the declartion of inde

To the orthodox principles expressed in the a
hove resolutions, passed by and in the presence of
i assembled array of wisdom and talent and
character from all parts of the Union and of the
world, we take great pleasure in adding a recog
nition of them by the Hon. Herschell V. Johnson
(the democratic Senator from this State) in a
speech delivered by him in the Senate upon the
resolutions nl‘z‘t)'m[mtln' with France, on the 6th
inst., a copy of which he has been kind enough to
transmit to us. Mr. Johnson said:
“With ns it is a fandamental doetrine, “that it
‘is the rightol the people to alter or abolish their
form of government, laying its foundation on
‘such principles, and organizing its powers in
‘sieh form, as to them shall scem most likely to
‘effect their safety and happiness.”
If these are the rights of the lwuplo, who chains
them by the necesity of a previons authority from
the legislature to move—who will present them
with the bayonets and grape shot of the existing
government backed by the whole power of the
federal government, as obstacles to he overcome
before their sovereignty shall be acknowledged!

Will you give the following extract from *Pro
fessor Grimes on the abuse of Magnetisn”, and
oblige a subseriber.
“I have had many subjects, who, when to all
’nppc:unuu'c perfeetly awake, would helieve that a
pieee of blank paper was a bunk note of any de
nomination which I asserted it to he. At Sarato
gn Spa, in the presence of Judge Marvin and
many other gentdemen, I made a yonung man of
excellent character take worthless paper for hank
notes, and give me a written obligation for a large
amonnt of money which he supposed he had re
ceived. Suppose him to be the cashicr of a bank
~woull not this be a dangerons power in the
hands of a dishonest man ! Or suppose him to be
worth a large amonnt of property in real estate—
he might be wmade to transfer it by deed in the
presence of witnesses, while hie was under this in
flnence, and the witnesses not su-peet that he was
’in a state ditferent from wsual, The witnesses
would go into court and swear that he scemed per
feetly rational and master of himself, and yet he
wonld be in such a condition that he could not per
ceive anything to be different from what it was as
serted 10 be by the operator. Black would look
white, if' the operator declaved it to be so. Cop
per would luu{\' and feel and sound like gold, il
the operator allinned it. I a word, the subject
and all his property and other legal rights would
be at the mercy of the operator. He could be
made to sign anything=—a deed, or marriage con
tract—a contession of murder, or unything else,

that they may be made to perform very improper
actions without being aware of it, and afterwards
recollecting it. They shonld know that they may
be wmade to commit aetions which in the eye of the
law are eriminal, without really intending to do
any wrong whatever, A woman may he made to
believe that the operator is her futher, or brother,
or sicter, or husband, and she will act necordingl yi
and afterwards she will have no recollection of 1t

opinion, founded upon experiment, that one per

After a fair and impartinl examination of the
above extract, the power the magnetiser can at
pleasure assume over his deluded subjeets, whose
character is entirely unknown to them, can the
intelligent eitizens of the city of Providence any
longer subject their wives and danghters to the
treatment of such professional charaeters, who
boldly acknowledge that they are possessed and
can exercise such dangerous power and influence
over their confiding and unsuspeeting patients?
We trust not. If they shounld still inzist on the
practice of these demented influences, let them

The Court of Enguiry onGeneral Pillow’s case,
held a shoit session in this eity, and adjourned to
Frederick, Md., to meet on the 20th st The
prosecution have entirely failed to substantiate any
one of the charges against Gen. Pillow. Extra
ordinary efforis have been wade, and by most un-
Justitiable means, to ruin this distinguizhed and
highly meritorious officer, who has twice been se
verely wonnded while gallantly leading his column
to the charge against the enemy ; and who has been
under as severe fire, and as often engaged in bat

tration of a great moral faect, that trath, in this
