derful narrative of experiments in this won.
der science, has been published, and has
excited great deal of wonder. We copy
the following notice of the narrative from
The NewYork Era
tits entitled "a Letter to Dr.. A. Brigham
on Animal Magnetism, being an account o
a remarkable interview between the author
and Miss Lorraine Brackstt, whilst in a state
Of somnambulism, by William l.. Stone"
Ii seems to have been printed in the form,
of a friendly epistle, in consequence of n
letter received by the author from the med
ical gentleman to whom it is addressed, re-
questing an account of the circumstances
which had induced hlm to become con-
vert to the :" art, science, or imposture," oI
Animal Magnetism. The reply is SIM
pie, unadorned, aud apparently most scru-
pulously exact relation of these circumstan-
ces, without any attempt at physiological
mstaphy sicsI, or theological explanation of
them.
He states that, in August last,
he received letter from distinguished d
prelate in the Episcopal Church, then on a
visit Ia Providence, inviting his attention
to the subject, and intmatng that if he
were to investigate it he might be more
spsring in his sarcasms against il. This
letter, in connection with an impressive
conversation with gentleman from Prov
idence who had seen many astonishing in
stances Of magnetic influence in that city,
induced him to examine them for himself,
and he accordingly went thi,her for the pur-
pose. lie there learned, from many per-
sons Of the highest character and intelli-
gence, series of occurrences which induc-
ed him to pay deliberate and impartial
attention to any Of similar kind which he
might have an opportunity Of witnessing
and being introduced to highly respecta-
bic private family in which some of them
had transpired, that opportunity was offer
cd him.
The person on whom he saw tho influ-
ence exercised, wns a young lady who had
been deprived of sight by an accident that
had nearly proved fatal to her life, and
who was under a course of magnetic treat

MAKyLAND.-The election in this State
for Members Of the House of Delegates,
took place on Monday, the 2d inst, and
resulted in the election of NEARLY
DOUBLE THE NUMBER of Admins
ration Members TINT was elected last year.
The wings still have majority in the
Delegation, which they obtain in the East
ern aud lower Counties, where no regular
opposition is made to them.
In the city of Baltimore the Delegates
chosen are NIL friends of the administration
and were elected by an average majority OF
l04 votes. The number Of administration
members elected is 36-being A GAIN OF
SIXTEEN since last year.
Thus has Maryland shown how she
participates in the terrible reaction, which
the wings want TO make out, is taking place
throughout the Union. BY making the
most of panic md distress, they have gained
a few temporary advantages, but the reac-
tion, when i, does take place, will leave
them in n more sorrowful condition than
they have heretofore enjoyed.

large letters, to catch the eye; the words

| be otherwise than well understood by the
community. That the President does not
recommend such measure, every one well
knows who has read his message. Ii is
evident that the President desires to see all
enjoy n specie currency, or its equivalent.
The suspension Of specie payments was an
act in which the government had 10 part
and the opposition, therefore, cannot justly
charge the administration with having, ia
any manner, an agency in forcing a depre-
ciated paper upon the community. The
President only requires that the constitu-
tional currency shall be receivable by the
government officers. The bauks belong
to the States, whose duty it is to compel
them to furnish paper medium that can,
at all times, be converted into gold and sill
yer; the general government has no con-
troll over them. Let the people force the
banks TO pay their debts, and then there
would be no deprecated currency for the
people.--Harfford Times.

unite the two provinces under one gov

as 10 give port to the Upper province,
by annexing Montreal to it. Resolutions
are now under discussion in the Assem-

king, praying for the annexion of Montre-
al to that province. We infer from the
tone of the papers, that the English pop
ulatlon of Montreal are not averse to the
measure, provided the conditions of the
annexation are such as they may think
reasonable:

hAOA1S bCN' SO.
HOUSE The resolution OF Mr.. Jones
delegate from the new territory of Wis
consln. was called up, inquiring. into the
expediency of holding Treaties with and
purchasing the lands of the Sacs. Foxes,
Winnebagors and other tribes of Indians,
in Wisconsin Territory, and Of their re-
moval to the country beyond the Missis-
sppi, was on motion of Mr.. Bell, recon
sldered.
Mr.. Garland, of La. offered the resolu.
ton. He thought this was a proper time
to resist the policy of the government,
which tended to the concentration Of all
the Indian tribes Oh the frontier of Louis
lana, Arkansas and Missouri. This prop
ositon for continuation ofthat policy he
would resist upon its threshold.
Mr. Ashley, of Mo, said that rehec-
ton and experience had convinced him of
the wisdom of that policy. The tribes,
when collected together, and eventually
&C quan,ed, would be less likely to quar-
rel with each other. Surrounded or
bordered upon, by the whites, they would
know our power and be restrained by it
from hostilties. But If they should be-
come hostile, and make war on US, he
would rather, if he were to conduct our de-
fence watch one point or attack one point,
than to have twenty distant or scattered
points.
Mr.. Garland rejoined. He saw and
deprecated the policy which contemplated
the determination of the Indians upon the
! first outbreak, to which they would now
be goaded by their white neighbours If
the object was to give the Indians but one
head, and to strike of that at one blow, he
was still more opposed to ii.
Mr.. Garland, Of Va, and Mr.. Harrison,
of Mo-, sustained the views of Mr. Ashley.
Mr. Davis, of Ia, said the territory of
Wisconsin was becoming peopIed faster
than any other portion OF the new states.
The Indians would soon be surrounded
and pressed upon by the whites. There
would be, no doubt, collisions between
them. The Indians, as all experience
shows, would initiate all the vices without
adopting any of the virtues Of civilization
For their own interest they should be re-
moved beyond the Mississi ppi
After some further debate, the resolu-
ton was agreed to.
MONDAY, Dec. &c.
SENATE. Mr.. Benton offered his ex-
punging resolution in the same form as at
the last session. Sundry reports were
made and resolutions offered; and some
time spent in executive business.
In the house, Mr. Adams presented the
petition Of J. Page and 26 others, of Sill
yer Lake. Pa, praying for the ADOLF
TON OF SLAVERY and the slave
trade in the District of Columbia. He
moved its reference to the Committee or
the District.
Mr.. Pickins, Of S. c., asked for the de-
cision Of the chair, whether the resolution
; of last session was still in force, in which
all memorials and other papers relating t
this subject were ordered to lie on the Ia
BILE, without being referred OF printed.
The speaker said that, after referring t.
such authorities as he could find, he ha,
come to the conclusion that the. resolution
E ceased to operate at the close of the la:
] session, but it was for the House to deter
