NESSI lie RIS M,

We neglected to state last week, that Nesnerism
had its origin in Germany, early as l776-though
some Of its advocates have claimed for it n much
greater antiquty-that If to be invention Of
Father HE'LL, Jesuit of Vienna, who employed one
Anthony Mesmer, Physician of those times, to con-
duct his experiments-that two years afterwards
Mesmer having had a violent controversy with Hell,
left Germany for the capital of France, where he
leaped immense emoluments from the vast number
Of miraculous cures which effected through this
new method of reaching dsease-That he made ma
ny converts, among whom was M. 'Elson, member
of the Medical Faculty Of Paris. That Royal Com
mission was appointed, and another from the AGA
demie de Sciences, to investigate the subject That
on this Commisson--such the popularity of Mes
mersm at that ,me-were Baily, the historian of
Astronomy, Lavoisor, ard Bertheot, the distinguish
ed Chemists and Philosophers, and Benjamin Frank
lin, who at that time in France. That these
mssioneis reported that ''There were proofs Of
the existence Of animal magnetism: that all the effects
ascIibed to it were purely owing to the power Of the
imaginaon--the tendency to imitation natural to all
mankind, and to the mechanical influence oftouchng
and lricons the most sensitive parts of the body
and that the practice oft both hurfu and dam
gerous in society, especially in moral point of view.
Afterwards, Mesmersm introduced by the
Marquis de Puysegur, one Of Mesmer's followers, in
a new and improved form, under the discovery of
Somnambulism or Magnetic Slerp-and as vast mum
bers Of patients clustered around him, than he
could attend, he mngnetzeda tree, and suspended
cords from it to each Of which patient attached,
and all being united by their thumbs, he passed a
round them with his Mesmeric rod, and magnetized
them by the whole sale. Preiernatural Uision and
CLai,rovance and all the other miracles, ascrib
ed to Mesmersm, were fully accredited by multi
tudes; and this new science spread rapidly over
France, Germany, Switzerland, Russia and Sweden,
till it was interrupted and almost annhilated ny the
French Revolution of 1888.
1t is now eight nine years since one Monsieur
Poyn, a French Professor Of Animal Magnetism, be-
gan to find favor among the people "down East
and though the progress of the science has been toler
ably steady, it has reached until within
few weeks past-and we do not know but it has ta-
ken us deep hold upon the people here as in any
part Of the world.
But while we are ready to admit that there seem to
be fact. in support Of Mesmersm, which cannot
explain we yet accord to it all that its advo-

The scare-crows of the Tariff men are DISH
mated by experience about as fast as they be got
m First tho New Tariff was to destroy the Ship
oog interest, and all the Sailors in our ports were
Induced to vote the Iocofoco Ticket last fall on the
wares and stopped their business. Now our Ship
Ding is fully employed, and Freights as high any
reason able shipper could ask. Then the Tariff was
4 70 destroy the Revenue; but that humbug has had
its day. The present Tariff will raise more Revenue
than that which the Wings found existing when they
came into power; and ifthe RGuenue Tariff men had
not grossly deserted their protested principles by
ssting the imposition of duty on Tea and Coffee,
we might have paid off the Governments indebted-
ness in three or four But the Tariff enhances
the price Of Protected Articles to the consumer Says
the Free Traders. Well, sirs, you assert this; now
more it, Here are the Prices Current of this year
md former years; show tctsre and .eh0t has been
the increase Of price to the consumer! You cannot
doh The facts show stiby that on the articles
Of which the Homo Production was efficiently proec
ted by the New Tariff, there has been average
l,miaaiioa Of price equal to fifteen or twenty per
cent. Witness Iron and Hardware, Coal, Cotton and
Wooden fabrics, and all other great staples protected
by the Tariff What pretext is left, then, for assal
ing the TARIFF The Journal Of Commerce has dis
covered the last one-it imports, that Foreign Ma
tioas cannot pay as for east amount Of cTportq
lie PrOiuce under This Tariff! We like this. The
Tariff has turned the balance Of trade largely in
favor, and now Specie by the ship-oad is coming
ever in payment for our Exports instead Of fabrics
which used to buy abroad, bot which we
masking much cheaper at home, and thereby giving
employment 10 People. Foreign nations can't
pay US, and must stop buying! Excellent! We can
buy orOther Nations as easy not when their duties
are 100 per cent and ours 90 but if we raise ours to
|the eghhorhood of theirs, they can't trade with
Our Free Traders clearly that other
|hsons cannot buy unless they allowed to sell
< we can buy whether allowed to sell or not!
s-But lei them be comrorted-the case is not with
Eprt allevietion In the first place, need infusion
especially five not to be allowed any
IPlher kind Of National Currency; and if England and
4 ance have much as is generally believed, they
|can spare us some with benefit of all parties Then
I've o,ce them Two or Three Hundred Millions Of
sSae and Mercantile debts incurred during the years
Pff our declining Tariff; and they ready to sell
