ANIMAL MAGNETISM. Sir David Brewster of Ed
inburg, has expressed his conviction of the truth OF
electro biology that part of animal magnetism
which subjects the imagination of the patient to the
will of the operator. He describes some remarkable
experiments made before several scientific gentlemen,
and concludes with the following statement:
s'They were all well convinced as was that
the phenomena witnessed real phenomena,
and well established any other facts in physical
science. The process by which the operator produ-
ces them the mode by which that process acts upon
the mind of the patient, and the reference of the
phenomena to general law in the constitution
of man, may long remain unknown; but it is not diff
6cult to in the recent discoveries of NJ Dubois.
Raymond, and Motteucia, and in the laws which reg
ulate the relative intensity of the external and inter-
nal impressions the of sensation, not
very indstinct indications of that remarkable process
by which minds of peculiar sensiblity temporarily
under the dominion of PHYSICAL influences, directed
and developed by some living agent"
With this testimony of so distinguished philoso-
pher as Sir David Brewster order of facts pecu-
iiarly liable to abuse, may the improperly OF
their being tempered with by quacks and charla-
for the purpose of gain the qualification of an
idle curiosity. Exchange piper.

I True Test. The Democratic House in Penn
sylvana, says the Richmond Enquirer, passed bill
repeating all the sections Of the act of l647 that
hcted with the provisions of the National Constitu-
ton for the recovery OF fugitive saves-5ut, under
the sinister influence of Johnson. the Free Soil Wing
Governor of the State, the Wing Senate would not
adopt the bill. They struck out all but the portion
repeating that section of the act Of l947, which pro-
hlbited the of the ails for securing fugitive slaves.
This. we admit, was the most important section OF
the act of l947, but had the Wings stood up to their
Democratic fellow members, all the objectionable
sections. prohibiting State officers from aiding in the
execution of the fugitive slave law, &c., would have
been blotted from the statute books.
Even the bill, in its present shape, was opposed by
all the Wings of the Senate but t,oo, and in the
House by the body of the party. Is not this
another proof that nearly all the aid that be
pected from the North, for the constitutional rights
of the South be found in the ranks of the Deoc-
racy, party AS the Savannah Georgian well
says:
I'm regard to the two national organizations, it
may be said that the great strength of the Wing par
tY, being in the North where anslavery sentiments
generally prevail, that party is, not entirely, but
to great extent, anti-savery party while on the
other hand the great strength of the Democratic par
ty being in the South, that party Is, to very consd
cradle extent, pro-slavery party.
In choosing then between the two, Southern men
must choose the Democratic party. That party, if
either be, is the party of the Constitution or, Mr.
Buchanan has it, the "true Constitutional Union
party" All then among us who not in favor of
disunon the hand, or of higher law than the
Constitution the other, should be, not in the name
but in truth Constitutional Union men, aud to be
according to Mr. Buchanan they must become Deur-
ocrats-the Democratic party being the "' true Con-
stitntional Union party" Let our political connec-
ton be then, with Buchanan, Cass, Dallas, Woodbu-
ry and Dickinson, and Democracy, rather than with
Seward, Fillmore, Webster and Corwin and Whig-
gerry"

ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY PATRIOT GONE. De-
parted this life at his residence i'll Christian county,
Kentucky, the 18th day of March, 1851, Jonatha
Clark, aged nnetyone years nine months and twenty
two days. He was born on the Goth of May, 1859,
in Bedford (now Campbel) county, Virginia. In
the year 1913 he removed to - NOW Stokes)
county, North Carolina. In the spring of I776 he
volunteered minute man in Captain James Shep-
herds company of North Carolina militia, and was
elected lieutenant and attached TO Colonel Martin
Armstrong; regiment. During this year he
mostly engaged in keeping in subsection Colonels
Bryan and Roberts, whose loyalty induced them 20
raise regiments of tories, with whom the deceas
ed had several engagements on the Yadkin and Ca
tawba and although not III the battle of King s
Mountain, with Colonels Cleaveand, Campbell, and
Shelby, was on duty near at hand and joined them
after the battle. The deceased rendered signal
vice in engagement with Col. Wright, tory, at
the Shallow Ford of the Yadkin.
He was then attached to General Perkins divs-
ion, and was in two skirmishes with the troops
der the command of Lord CORVALLIS. Before the
battle of Guord, in the year 1871, he was attached
to Colonel Smiths regiment of cavalry, and had sew
eral engagements with Colonel Bryan, Cunningham,
and other tory commanders, who mostly occupied the
hills and would not give general battle, but would
sally in small parties and commit depredations
upon the wings, requiring the united wing force to
keep them in subsection.
In the year 1884 he removed to Pendleton district,
South Carolina and in 1903 Christian county, Ken
lucky. He filled the office of justice Of the peace and
became sheriff. He Universally loved for his
virtues, venerated for his wisdom, and idoized for
his goodness and unwavering integrity. He was
kind father and an afectionate husband. With
christians hope, deeply lamented by numerous rea-
lions and friends,
He gave his honors to the world again,
His blessed part to Heaven, and slept in peace"

FREAKS OF PHILANTHROPY. few days since the
papers contained the account of the death of man
in Boston Jail, who had been put in there for some
paltry debt. He was man of education, graduate
of one of New England's colleges. Yet he was a
white man, and mercess creditor inforced, not the
fugitive law, but the law for the collection of debts,
put him in Jail, where he fingered, and finally died of
consumption in the elons cell. We heard of no res
cue, attempt to rescue!
On Saturday the telegraph informed that black
man named Sims was arrested, charging him with
being fugitive slave. There danger, not of his
being put Jail and lingering the white debtor had
fingered, but there danger of his being sent back
to the South from whence he had escaped under the
provisions of the fugitive law. This case excites to
madness the who had stood by and seen the
white die in prison for debt. They fly together.
The country is alarmed. Meetings are held in the
neighbor:ng towns, and resolutions passed de-
nouncng the law under which this arrest is made,
and offering their services release all black
by force of arms and nipple the laws of the Union
under foot to accomplish this purpose!

you think oft? Ohio State Journal

WHEATLAND, (near Lancaster,) April 10, 1851.
My DEAR SIRs: have received your kind letter
of the End instant, with the resolutions adopted by
the Central Southern Rights Association of Virginia,
inviting to address the association at such time
as may suit my convenience, and to counsel with
them in regard to the best means be adopted in
the present alarming crisis for the maintenance of the
constitution and the union of the States in their ORR
ginaf purity"
l should esteem it both high honor and great
privilege to comply with this requests and therefore
regret to say that engagements-which l need not
specify-render it impossible for me to visit Rich
mond during the present and possibly the next month
The association do inc more than justice when
attrlbuting to strong desire g for the mainte
nance of the Constitution and the Union of the States
in their original purity" Whilst few men of this
country would venture to different sentiment
yet the question still remains, By what means can
this all-important purpose be best accomplished
feel no hesitation in answering, By return 10 the old
Virginia platform of State rights, presented by the
resolutions of 1898 and 1899, and Mr.. Madison's
port. The powers conferred by the constitution up
on the general government must be construed strict
y, and Congress must abstain from the exercise of
all doubtful powers. But it is said these mere
distractions and they are, unless hon
estly carried into practice Like the Christian dith,
however, when 1t is genuine, good works will inc
vitality flow from sincere belief in such strict con-
sIIuction of the constitution. Were this old repub-
lican principle adopted in practice, We should no
longer witness understandable and dangerous attempts
in Congress to interfere with the institution of do
nestle slavery, which belongs exclusively to the
States where it exists. There would be no efforts
establish high protective tariffs the public money
would not be squandered upon grand system of
internal improvements general in name. but partial
in its very nature, and corrupting in its tendency,
both TO the government and to the people and we
would rerench present extravagant expenditures,
pay national debt, and the practice of
wise economy, essential both to public and p-i-
Vate prosperity. Were permitted to address your
these the counses should give, and
some of the topics l should discuss, the best
means :" for the maintenance hoih of the constitution
md the union of the States in their original purify,
and for the Perpetuation of g:eat and glorious
With sentiments of high regard, l remain, yours,
very respectfully, JAMES BUCHANAN.
