3Vitness (scratching his head)--Well, the long and
'the short of it is, John Wadleigh is a hard working
man; that is, he works very hard doing nothing, and
that's the hardest Work there is done. It will make
ifelleveleep quicker than poppy leaves. So it stands
to reason that Wadleigh would naturally be a very
sleepylort of& person. Well, the weather is some
times naturally considerable warm, and parson
Moody's sermon is sometimes rather heavy-like.

You were called here for."
- Witness.-1 don't cast no reflections on Parson
Moody. I was only telling what I know about John

especially in warm weather, that sarmons that are
heavy-like, and too hours long, naturally have al
tendency—
, "Stop, stop, I 'say," said Squire Winslow. "If'

Witness.—l don't cast no reflections on Parson
Moody.. I was only telling what I know about John

Squire Winslow. --Well go on, and tell us all
About that. You weren'tcaliecl hereto testify about
Parson Moody.
Witness.—That's what i am trying to do, Wpm
wouldn't keep putting me nut. And its my opinion,
is warm weather, folks is considerably apt to sleep
Meeting;in especially when the warm-1 mean
fiecially where they get pretty tired. I know I find
it pretty hard work to get by seventbly and eighthly
in the Bannon mytielf; but, WI once get by . there, I
generally get into a kind of a waking trainagain,
and make'out to weather it.- But it isn't so with
Wadleigh. I've generally noticed if he begins to
gape at aeventhly and eighthly, it's a gone goose with:
him before be gets through tenthly, and he has to
look:out for .another prop for hiahead somewhere,
`or his neck isn't stiff enough to bold it np. And
from twelfthly to sisteenthly he's as dead as a door
nail, till the amen brings- the people up to prayers,
- and Wadleigh comes up with a jerk ,jist like opening

that a:number of immigrants from Sweden passed
threugh this city, some time ago, on their way to
the West; and some notice appeared in the papers
of their religious organization, which had its pe

it.may, was the cause of their persecution; and to
avoid persecution, they sought an asylum in this
new world, where as yet it is no sin for every man
to worship Grid according to the dictates of his
own conscience. That their crimes were not very
heinous I infer from this fact; that one of their

The Federalists.—The Catholiesr—Father WRIT.
Toy, and Father Rey.
When the President appointed the Rev. Messrs.
Ret and M'Eznox two very learned and pions
ministers of the GOSpel, of the Roman Catholic
faith, to go with th&army in Mexico, as chaplains,
it was well known to be in accorridnee with the
wishes, and at the request, of a considerable num
ber of our officers. As soon, however, as their
appointments were announced, a large number of,
the Federal:presses denounced the measure, as one
calculated to disgrace our country, and prove ail- 1
1 vantagepus to Mexico. It was even openly de-,
dared, by many members of 'the Federal warty,
that these gentlemen, from the very fact of their,
i, being members of the Catholic church, would,
1 , under the requirements of their religion, aid. the
I cause of Mdrico, from the fact that theirs was the
established church of that country. A single year
only has elapsed, since they were appointed. -One
of those pious and devoted men has found a grave
in Mexico,—cruelly murdered by those who it was
said he would sustain,—and the oth7 has returned .
Ito his country; to enjoy againthe society of those
Ito whom 'he is enileared , bylong acquaintance, and
to meet the approving smiles of his fellow-citizens.
He has 'enjoyed, through life, dhe love and the re
spect of those who have best known him ; he bears,
the affectionate remembrances of all who formed
his acquaintance in the army; and must now stand
higher, in the estimation of every patriot, than he
has ever' stood before. Since his return, however.
a new discovery has been made; (and we cannot ,
look upon this new discovery in any other light
than as an additional supply of "aid and comfort"
for the enemy--Federal sympathy for the Mexi- '
cans;)—which is, that those pious, and learned,
and patriotic followers of the. Cross, true employed
by Mr. Polk to go to .I.lcsiro as spies! The men
who were denounced, one year ago. as most likel y
to aid the Mexicans; whose lives had been devoted I
to acts of christian charity and philanthropy, in
a very limited sphere of private life; who could
not be presumed qualified in any respect for the
, office; are now declared to have been employed to i
go to Mexico as spies! But such a statement as
:this, is only in perfect keeping with the professions i
and practice of the Federal party in general, in
relation to the religious denomination of ss Lich
1
these gentlemen were bright lights. It is in exact
accordance with what may be expected from them
!at any future period.
1 The considerations whic led to the appoint ,
I spent of Messrs. Rey and A Esuor were such as!
every patriot, every philanthmpist, every christian,
must approve. They are such as would naturally I
Ibe suggested to every well iegolated honest mind.
It is well known to all our Icountrymen, that the
i great mass of the people Of Mexico are of the
Roman Catholic faith. It Was generally believed,
that a sentiment of opposition to us was instilled' ,
i
i into the minds of the people of that country by
their clergy. It was rational to believe that this
sentiment could only be overcome, by - the cur
-1 tion of an influence similar that which cherished
i it. As our army progressed into the country of
our enemy, our citizens would necessarily come
into contact with those, against whom they had
but lately been contending. They would meet
with them at their firesides, in the shops, in the
streets; and at the altar of the same common pa
rent. And here, above all other places, was it
likely, that all erroneous I impressions respecting
our institutions and our ieople, would be most
easily overcome; and thelman most likely of all
others to accomplish this Work would be a spirit
ual teacher, of the same faith which they professed.
We really look upon this act of Mr. Polk, as
one' of the brightest acts crnected with the war,
—one of the most noble acts of his adminiitration.
He has declared the desire of our government to
be PEACE—peace on any honorable terms; and,
in addition to using all the means in his power,
which civilized nations, at war, resort to; he has
gre beyond these—he has gone beyond the office ,
of the warrior and the diplomatist; and has called
In the aid of the highest and most potent moral,
agency. which could be exerted among any people
—that of the ministers of their own most holy;
faith. And_yet, for having done this,--these eters;
ital croakers—these enemies to their country bulbl
in peace and warare now denouncing the good ,
men, chosen for the performance of so glorious a
work, as spies; and, if spies, the venerable man,
whose life has been a continuous proof of his kind
ness of soul, and his love for mankind; only met
the fate which all nations acknowledge is the de
sert of the spy! Therefore they would rejoice at
his murder; and commend his murderers. Cor
win's " bloody hands and hospitable grave " has
been his reward; and those who contend for Mex.
ico rejoice at the justice of his doom.
Another Tclegoph Office.
Our friends in Wellsville will be gratified to
learn that an office for the transmission of Tele-
graphic communications will be opened in their
village next week; the first of the series on the
Lake line, connecting with Pittsburgh and Cleve..
land. Mr. J. N. Alvord is now in, town, to procure
the necessary instruments, apparatus, &c., for the
purpose.

0:1- We find on our table; a paper published in
this city, called " The PTO - dant Unionist," and
edited by WALTEII SCOTT, Who, we understand, is
a Minister of the Gospel, Of Mr. Scott, person-,1
ally, we know nothing;—he may be a good citi
zen and a kind neighbor. He professes to be a
Christian,, a Disciple of the meek and lowly Jesus;
and his business is, to point out to sinful , fallen
man, the road that leadeth to happiness and glory.
Upon opening the Unionist, dated Aug. 4, 1847, we
were surprisedlo see the federal ticket for the State
and county, published in glaring conspicuous type,
followed up by an extravagant eulogium upon the
life and character of Geonoz Runic,. the federal'
candidate for Senator. If Mr. Scott intends to
convert his.paper into a federal whig sheet, he bad
better so inform his readers at once; and the pub
lic, in that event, will give him credit for oatujor,
atleast. He may say that he published the Whig
ticket" as a matter of news; but that will be
rather a lame apology—as the federalists have
some half dozen of papers in this county,'actual
ly engaged in the bad cause—and certainly these,
sheets will circulate the ticket pretty extensively.
And, b'sides, if Mr. Scott was anxious to place
before his readers this kind of knowledge, he
might have inserted the Democratic ticket, at the
same time, and let both go to the world without
comment, endorsement or eulogy. Then no per
on could have grounds for compiaint. His course,
in 'the present instance, has justly exposed him to
severe animadversion, and we trust he will embrace
the first opportunity to set himself recius in curia

is mixed up of strong compounds!
Fur Mr Moro l ing Part
MR. DARSIE AND THE LODGE LOT.
It is to be regretted that Mr. George Darsie, has
not seen proper to answer the qutilstions propounded
to him in my last communication,and that he should
so far neglect th'e proprieties of common honesty
and fraeltrmas, as to thrust a private individual, be
tween himself and the public:
With the individual oho so foolishly enters the
field, as the defender of Mr. Darsie's conduct to-1
wards hi. fellow members of the Masonic order ,
I
have no desire to enter into a newspape , controver
15y ; he is not before the public, nor has Ms name
been mentioned in my communications. (In some
fiiture occasion, however, he may be referred to as
;
a witness in the case, and it may become necessary
1 to call tr i %on him to produce certain dortuments in re
!
'lotion to the matter, but at present out buoiness is
!not with hum. It is of George Darsie oo would
speak.
George Dante is a candidate for political favor,
and the people hare a right to 'scrutinize hos charac
ter mai conduct ; they hate a right to put interroga
tories to him, touching his official transactions, nod
ho is bound, as a candidate for their suffrages, to
answer all such questions as are couched respect
ful language. If he minims to ansuer, or to notice
such questions, then the people have the right to
draw their own conclusions front the fact, and to
construe silence into consent. Mr. Darrie's refusal
to answer the questions propounded by me, on
a former occasion, than be taken as an admission
I that lie cannot answer Without crircinoling himself.
shall not now nak Mr. Darsio any more quell..
tons. I find they are exceedingly troublesome to
answer; he may require more time for reflection
and brushing op bis memory, and probably he may
find amongst his old papers,-- 0, old papersare some
times dangerous things•''--the original article of
agreement between the masons and himself, which
might induce a review of his conduct towards his
former friends, and bring him to a sense of justice.
It is not denied that Lodge No. 45, paid $1000;
and that the individual of/ambers of Lodges Ne. 45,
165, and 113, paid $1500; making in all, paid, to
George Darsie $2,500. The first question likely to
be asked, in order to understand the subject, would
be, for what purpose was this large sum of money
paid I As Mr. Darsie will not answer for himself, I
will answer for him, premising, that, in di; him any
injustice, it will be entirely unintentional.
In the year 1828, Mr. Darsie owned a lot ofgmund
on the corner of Smithfield and Third streets, and
being at that time an active and zealous member of
the fraternity, ho proposed to build a 4, Masonic
Hall" on his lot, for the accommodation or his
brethren. After same preliminary arrangements, it
was agreed, First, that Lodge No. 45, should pay
$lOOO, cash ; Second, that the individual masons
in Pittsburgh and vicinity, should raise by subscrip
tion $l5OO, more, and pay it over to Darsic as he
night need it during the progress of the building.
In consideration of this amount of money, Darsie
stipulated, First, to transfer to Lodge No. 45, the
one undivided third part of liia said lot of ground on
Smithfield and Third streets. Second, to finish the
third story of the Masonic pall buildings, fur the
use and purposes of the mas?ns, to be used and oc-
I copied by diem for ever free of rent.
The Lodge and the individual subscribers to the
fund, performed their part of the contract, but Mr.
&Irene never did make out .4 deed to the Lodge for
the lot; and the fire of April 1545, deprived the
Lodge of its Hall.
Previously to the fire of 1815, Mr. Darsie sold tiro--
thirds of the lot occupied by the Masonic Hall to
Mr. Handers, not pretending to have any right to the
other third part of the lot, which he had promised
to deed to the Lodge. It should be remembered,
that Darsie, when he sold to Mr Benders, reserved
the third story of the building, from sale, as it be
longed, with one-third of the lot, to the Lodge and
its members. • -
I shall now furnish additional evidence of the right
!of the Lodge to the lot and one-third of the building.
In the assessment of taxes on the property , Mr. Dar
sie took care to have the Lodge assessed, distinctly, us
one-third otkner of the property; and Lodge No. 45,
regularly, every year, paid that tax, until after the
re, when Darsie took possession of the lob; and now
refuses to give.any other reason than, as the Lodge
:cannot show a deed for the lot, there can be no title
there.

.21esmerism aud (luirroyauce.
Our readers will be pleased to observe that we
present, this morning, the first number of a series
of articles upon Mesmerism and Clairvoyance by
Casrmas B. tirLon, Esq. The next commiini
tion will appear on Monday,and will he in relation
to the clairvoyant powers of Miss Martha..
To L. Harper, Esq.: •
Dear Sir—l am reminded that the time has ar.
rived, when the general readers of your periodical
may—either from mirthful curiosity or otherwise
—be expecting a sh'ort communication at least,
from the on the subject of Mesmerism and Clair
voyance, lam aware, too, that lam expected to
"define my position" in relation to what I sup•
pose to be the real, truthful Clairvoyant character
of Miss Martha Loomis, whose exhibitions have
been, during the last few weeks, the subject of so
much excitement and investigation, among the in.
quiring and inquisitive of our community.
t"regret, air, " and that most deeply," that I find
myself, on examination, so entirely disqualified to
impart light, knowledge, and above all, truth, on
this most extraordinary science (if science it be)
now under consideration.
..._ . _
But for the peculiar position I at present occupy
before your readers, and of consequence.the com
munity generally, of which I am a member, I
would most cheerfully retire from- the task that I
have probably very foolishly imposed upon Myself;
and remain silent upon a subject of which I know
so little: of which, as yet, so little is known, even
among the most learned and scientific of the -age
in which we live. lam apprised, however, that I
I am too far committed before your readers, and,of
the community generally, on this subject, to think
even for a moment of making any retrograde
movement in this matter. Of course, under exist
ing 7circumstances, I must introduce something
on the subject to which I have referred.
I conclude, as I have already intimated, that
very little of serious importance has, as yet, been,
written on the subject of Animal Magnetism and
Clairvoyance, although more - or less appears to
have been known of the principles of Homan
Magnetism in nearly all ages of the world, from
the earliest periud of man's existence upon the
earth, to the present time.
According to Prof. Henry P. Smith, tormerlyl
of - Worcester, 'slassq,. more recently of Louis-1
ville, Ky., who wrote an ably essay on Human
Magnetism, in the A. D. 1i.14, it appears that ad
number of historical facts connected with this sub
ject are to be found in the Bible. Prof. Smith,
however, adds, "ash consider a scriptural view o'f
this subject a matter of great importance, and one
which requires separate consideration, I shall, for
the present, direct my attention to other sources
for information. - He farther adds, " Retracing
the history of man to a period nearly four thou
sandyears ago, we find a faculty of medicine in
Egypt, removing pains and diseases from others by
I the application of a power which they possessed,
1 but of the nature of which they were entirely ig.
i norant. By the use of certain physical operations,
such as a touch with the finger, or toe, certain
passes, or waves of the hand, over the person or
part affected, and the like simple means, they scare
- enabled to perform a vari'ety of interesting tyres,
which they could not effect by the application 6f
ordinary medieities. This was carried by them to
a greater extent than it is now, in any part of the
1 world. The priesthood of Egypt, also, were tong
Ifamed for their knowledge of the healing art.
Their deities they considered as endued with a
1
healing influence. and from them they received
power. They exerted the magnetic influence with
I great skill and success, reduced the art to a system,
and practiced it with all the solemnity of a reli
t
i gious rite, and under the immediate supervision off
1 their ili.ities. According to Prosper Alpinus, they
I treated their patients-by certain mysterious coanuel
operations, or imposition of bands, often enveloj
I
ping them with the skins of animals, which they]
I deemed sacred, and carried them into the consecra-
1 ted shrines and other holy places. to be visited with
dreams and pretended inspirations, which were)
1
, supposed to come upon them through the' agency
of Heaven; and there, too, they had imparted to 1
them a foresight of the results of their complaints,
I and disclosed to them the medicines and mode of
treatment by which they were to be cured.
1 A like faculty of medicine in Chaldea, prat
, used the healing art in the same manner, and with
similar success. The dignitaries of the temple
i were the principal members of this faculty,: and
prepared their cures with great solereuity."
in what appears to be one of the best -written
works extant, on the subject of Animal -Magner-
I ism—(published by D. Appleton & Co., 200 Broad-
I way, N. V.: prepared for the press by T 'Leger,
1 Dr. of the Medical Faculty of Paris; late Prof. of
I Anatomy at the Practical School; Fellow of- the
Society of Sciences and Arts , of the t)ep. De La
Marne; late Professor of the Medical College of'
Mexico, Sic.,)—we find that the Priests in that age
of the world were the only physicians in Egypt.l
They practised the art of curing diseases, In thej
Temple, as a divine art. They made a Mystery
of their means, for it was the source of their au
thority under the name of their gods. Very few '1
persons, and those only after a long probations were
initiated into them; and it was forbidden, under
the severest penalties, to divulge the secrets.
According to Plutarch, on what. perhaps, might
have been in his day very appropriately termed
Magnetism he says, when referring to "The
Pythia" of Greece, she is second to no one in pu
rity-of morals and chastity of conduct. Brought
up by her poor parents in the country, she brings
with her neither art nor experience, nor any talent
whatever, when she arrives at Delphi, to be the in
terpreter of the gods. She is consulted on any
event--marriage, travels, hattest, diseases, .&c.
Her answers, although they have been submitted
to the severest scrutiny, have never proved false or
incorrect. On the contrary, 'the verification of
them has filled the Temple with gifts frontal' parts
of Greece, and foreign countries.

rtsnunou, August 3d, 1E47
It is asserted by Professor-Leger, in his valuable 4
tre'atise on Magnetism, that Socrates had predicted
at one time, all the important events .of his life.
When he was summoned before the .tribunal of
five hundred, he knew that he would be condemned
to death, although the penalty of the offence with
which he hail been accused, was but e fine.
They expeeted at Athens, the ship that was gone
to Crete, in commemmorattpn of the victory of
Theseus over the Ylinotaurus; and so long as the
voyage lasted, it was forbidden to putany one to
death. His disconsolate disciples anticipated the
arrival of the ship on the day ensuing ; but Socra• ,
tes told that she had been . detained at sea, and would
be back only on the third day. The event proved
the correctness of his provision. Of Apollonius,
Tyaneus, Professor Leger says: "He had been
initiated into the sacred mysteries by the prieits
of the temple of Epidaurus, dedicated to Escu..
lapius; from thence he Went to Ephesus, Smyrna,
` Athens, Corinth, Nineveh, and even.. to Persia and
India, where he learned from the Magi their roar
vellons secrets"in the - curingof diseases. He. Per:
formed, such prodigies, and made -cures.ii.surpris-:
•• • ,
, •
ing,that.he was considered by some a magician;
and by others as a god. Apollonius predicted fu
iure events as -correctly as Socrates, and he was
conscious of what was transpiring in . remote pla
ces. While he was at Ephesus, and surrounded by
a crowd of people; be saw and actually described
the murder of the emperor Domitian at Rome.—
His prediction was established several days after,
when intelligence of. the event was received; the
whole had taken place uphn the day, and at, the
very hour and moment indicated by Apollonius.".-
The same author, in referring to Alexander Tral
lianus, says of his works "They have been justly
compared to those of Hippocrates, the father of
medicine, who divided the practice, into two dis
tinct parts,. denominating 'them the common reme-
I dies and the secret mans.
Of Trallianus he says: Of all the Greek
thors, his. writings afford the best evidence of their
knowledge of Animal Magnetism. After enume
rating the general remedies proper in cases of epi
lepsy, he adds that the occult means, the natural
remedies," ought to be tried also; and he teachesr
on this subject, that during the crisis, longitudinal
"passes" over the limbs; and a slight touching of
the eyes with - the ends of the fingers, mustbe em
ployed. He points out this .way of operating to
those only who have a great desire of success, with
confidence in the use of the secret_proceVings ;
with a strong and persevering intention they will
accomplish their purpose.' •
He believed it to have been his duty to give
those precepts to honest and candid men, who felt
anxious to attack and overcome long and stubborn
cases by all possible means. He - concludedlis
remarks on the occasion referred to, in thefollow
ing remarkable words : "As for myself,4 acknow
ledge that I have resorted to both_practices ; but
in our days, as theignorant accuse persons who
use the secret means, I always endeavor to use
common remedies, although I consider them as
less efficacious. But I must recommend not to
reveal the occult means except to persons of high
virtue, and who know how to keep a secret. This'
is the meaning of the precept of Hippocrates—
. Preserve holy mess's to be used by holy men; for
it is a crime to reveal them to the vulgar."
Much more of lively interest might be added to
what has already been referred to, of the principle,
of Animal Magnetism, as existing, among the
Rqmans, Gauls, and other nations of the world,
previous to what is termed the " middle ages."—
But as I have, perhaps, already wearied the pa
tience of many of your, readers, I will forbear on
the present occasion, after introducing a few more
thoughts, on the subject under consideration, from
Prof. Smith's essay on Human Magnetism •In
treating on this subject, Prof. Stith says: This
science has claims of the highest itnportance, and
for many years has justly excited great interest in
different parts of Europe'and America. Still but
few, even of the .educated, are as yet acquainted
with its principles, and many of them would,be
unible to, give arty definite or satisfactory answer
to the question, what is Human Magnetism I
p4rer the name' that I have selected for reasons'
which will hereafter be-mentioned; and sugs, , est the
following•definition as tontaining, my views on
the subject : Human Magnetism is dsciente which
exhibits the nature and operations of the medium
of communication between mind and matter, and
teacheirthe art of managing that medium for the
produdtion of human happiness. But for the ben
efit of-thcise who have not informed themselves on
the iubject, I will endeavor to give a tp ... orte simple
answer to the above suggestions, by a 7 brief state
ment of a few facts connected with the science.
There is a certain independent medium through
whir} i communication is kept up between the
mind and the body. By this medium, the mind is
enabled to receive and send forth impressions, to
invigorate or debilitate the lumen system; and to
diminish or increase its pains adcl diseases. Thro*
this same medium or agent, one person.can exert
a more or less extended influence over others by
his volition, and with additional meahs, sixth as a
riveted look with the eyes, passes, waves, touches,
and grasps with the hands, &c., he may extend
this influence so far as tO put others in a state of
somnambulism, called the "magnetic. stafe."= - -
While in that state, the senses- of the subject are
entirely suspended in their operation. His mind
can act independently of the body, and receive
impressions through any part of .4is own system,
through the senses of another, or direct from dis
tant obpcts. Thus, be can read withoht the use
of his natural eyes; can tell the thoughts of oth
ers; describe their pains and diseases; and per
form many other operations equally inteyesting.—
All his moral and intellectual faculties are exceed
ingly active, and he can transact , business, with
the consent of the operator, nearly as well, gene.
rally, and in some cases, better. than when in the
natural state. Surgical and &Mal operations can
be performed upon him Without giving bins the
least train. Many pains -and diseases may he.en
tirely removed from the system, and others great
ly modified by the Magnetic process, and, what is
equaily wonderful, all- the Mental manifestations
and actionsof the nervous system common to the
wakeo state, tan be brought forth front the sum-
nambulic person by mere contact, and frequently
without contact of the operatnr.
When the snbject is restored to his:, natural con.
dition, he remembers nothing that transpired
ring his somnambulic existence, unless made to do
.„.,,
so by the'operator."
Prof. Smith observes, in his preface to the essay
referred to: "Those who have hitherto written
.upon Human Magnetism, have furnished us with
interesting accounts of its wonderful developments,
and of the application of its power to useful pur
poses. But few of them, however, base seemed
willing to hazed their opinions_ as to the agent
concerned in the production of its phenomenal
and even those few have either left the subject tins
satisfactorily explained,. or enveloped it In still
greater mystery than'before. From my own ex.
perinients and observations, I,have been fbreed to
reject all theories which I have read upon the sub.
ject, and pursue, in many respects, an independent
course, having
beaten path to tread,no practised course to steer.'
