We had supposed that the absurd nonsense
| of Animal Magnetism was banished from our
country. and that after the experience of few
years ago, it would not be repeated here, at
least till the present generation had passed a.
way. But there is no bound to human credu.
lily and folly. An attempt is making 10 re-
produce the same humbuggery in Boston at
the present time. Of course, il is TO be pre-.
sumed, ii must have lis run. We trust, for
credit of the enlightened inhabitants of that
city, it will speedily run out. An account of
some experiments few days since, published
IN the Boston Daily Advertiser Of Thursday
last, contains statements which appear to
forebode such a result. In our Judgment,
every man who attempts to impose upon the
community in this way, should be secuted
| from decent society. We have no doubt the
Boston exhibitor of this ridiculous foolery, will
soon find il expedient 10 play bis game in some
other place, where there is a less amount of
general intelligence than in the largest of the
New England cities.
PRoTEcTIoY.-We occasionally meet with
one of those hard-hearted, stiff necked, old
fashioned aislocra,s, who wish to get their silks
! hair fhair IclO.
from the old world even cheaper than they now
do. Such persons, who can afford 10 ride in
their English built carriages, imported free Of
duty, who wear London made hats. Irish linen,
carnbrick ruffles, and cockney boots, oil duty
free, and sold here in America cheaper than
our mechanics are willing 10 make them, can
not for their lives understand why the mechan-
les wish for a protective duty. Our grand
father used to tell US when we were quite
boy, that the true American policy was to
manufacture every thing we consumed. When
We can do that, said he, we shall be indepen-
dent. To be sure it matters little with the
rich, they can afford to buy foreign luxuries-
but the poor, if they would thrive, must manu-.
faciure sufficient TO buy all they consume
Project American industry, and America is
truly free and independent. Depress Ameri.
can. and you ruin the great mass Of the Ameri-
can people, the farmers and mechanics. We
speak particularly OF the farmers because they
constitute the great interests Of the country.
The mechanics, manufacturers and artisans
come next. When their interests arc protec.
ted, all others will follow, for that of the mer-
chants depends altogether upon the prosperity
of the producing classes they are merely
factors employed in exchanging the commodi-
ties or productions OF others.
We apprehend it would be far better for the
people Of this country if instead of having their
farms and their mechanical faculties taxed, a
heavy and sufficient tax were put upon all
foreign productions to help support our gov
eminent and give our working population
chance 10 live instead of obligingzzthe to pay
the taxes and permitting foreigners 10 fill our
country to overlooking with their productions,
at less price than we can produce them.
Tax foreign productions then, say we, and
let American industry have the benefit of the
taxation.
