CHARACTER. We may Judge of mans character by
what he loves-what pleases him. If person mani
tests delight in low and sordd objects-the vulgar
song and debasing Ianguage-ing the misfortunes of
his fellows, cruelty to animals, we may at once
determine the complexion of his character. On the
contrary, if he loves purity, modesty. truth-f vr-
tuous pursuits engage his heart and draw out his
affections-we satisfied that he is upright
man. A man de6ased shrinks from association with
the good and wise.

THE BANK CASE,

The Fayetteville Carolinian thus notices the recent
decision of the Supreme Court in the Bank case:
"We are gratifed to learn from editorial in the
Raleigh Register of the Sd inst, that the Supreme
Court has far modified its opinion in the friendly
suit of the Bank of the State of North Carolina
the Bank of Cape Fear to exclude that portion Of
it relative the issue of under certain de-
nomination by Banks of this State, and which would
seem to bear upon the small issues of the Bank of
Fayetteville. Some difference of opinion existed as
to what was really the meaning of the learned Chief
Justice. Whether he alluded to what is generally
known the due bill act,' the Revised Statute
about Bank Notes, it is not material to inquire,
since with great propriety and commendable Pru-
dence the Court has ordered the exraneous portion
of the opinion to be stricken out.
We are, we repeat, gratiied at this course, for it
would certainly tend greatly to weaken the influence
of the Court if to understand that il is le-
climate part of its duty to IS about after ques-
tons for discussion and decision, instead Of combining
itself those brought before by parties voluntarily
or involuntariIy. We should regret to anything
occur which would weaken this distinguished tribu-
nal of which every North Carolinian is proud.'

DR.. B. BROWN WILLIAMS.

We make the following extract from the New
York Correspondence of the Medgeville Ga.
Union:
I" DR.. B. Brown Williams, of North Carolina, is now
Iecturing in this city, on Mental Alchimy, a new
theory, OF which he is the originator and by which
he accounts for the phenomena of Animal Magnetism,
the Rochester knockings, &c. DR.. Williams produ-
the results hitherto arrived by magnetisers, BIZ
o!ogiss, and Others but without touching the " sub
jects" upon which he operates, looking at them. or
directing them to look at hin or at anything. He
simply asks those persons in the audience who de-
sire become electrified hecalIs it, to wish to be
so; and in about twenty minutes after, he desires
them to rise, when hundred sometimes get up,
and remain, during the evening, under his entire
troll, laughing, crying, making speeches, dancing,
installing themselves for each other for some
great parsonage, and imagining themselves to be
whoever he tells them they are and to be doing what
ever he tells them they doing. The greatest
rosty is. that the subjects of DR.. w. have perfect
control over every faculty of the mind and body,
cept the particular that the Doctor chooses spe
cially to influence.
l regard with great interest all Developments of
science; but have always been so disguised with
the pretentous quackery of tnerant lecturers Ami
NAL Magnetism and kindred subjects fthe intention
tlonal and unintentonal admxture of rhodomontade
and positive fasehood with the actual truths they had
discovered or adopted, and ofthe vugarty speech
and coarseness of manner, that had determined to
give up all idea of attending the subject until it
fell into the hands of gentlemen and men of truth.
Another reason for my dislikng to patronize by my
presence this class of lecturers, is that what
may be called, in sense, strictly orthodox in my
religious belief; that u.s. believe that God can. lit
orally, create a world or thousand worlds, if he
choose, In six days, and that literally make
a mountain move, if he have faith enough. Now,
nearly every phrenoogist and mesmerizer with whom
have been acquainted has been to all intents and
purposes, an atheist, what amounts practically to
the same thing, panthest. While, therefore, l adj
mitted the incontrovertibility of many of the new
facts in SCIENCE which they discovered and developed
before. was quite unwilling to assent to their lilo
gical deductions, from those admitted facts and other
facts that did not admit, OF the faIsity Of Divine
Revelation.
Being strongly urged. however. by several edito-
rial friends, TO go and hear DR.. Williams, at length
consented but so crowded are his lectures. even
when he speaks in the Metropolitan Hall, which
five thousand persons, that it until the fourth
attempt that was able to get admission. The result
of my visit is firm belief that he is the of the
age, in mental science, and that he will do
harmonic physical laws with the Mosaic record,
than II others who have preceded him have done to
place them anagonstic to each other. -
