'' MESMERISM AND CLAIRVOYANCE.
I. Number Two.
; L
For the Morning Post.
Prrrsaunort, August 7th, 1847.
To Harp& Esg •
Dave Sra::—l am apprised that L, have at least
a two-fold object in addressing a note to you on
the present occasion.
In the first place, I will take the liberty-of ob.
seivirg, that!l am aware that I have not as yet
through the Medium of your periodical, fully corn
mated myself on the subject of what has been
geneMlly . tertned heretofore Mesmerism and Clair
voyance. I thought I had done so, by intimations
.
idleast, in my communication to you of Thurs
day.; It appears , however, that my. friend "Can
dor."to say hothing of others,) is not quite satis
fie`d with that order, of cointnittal to which I have
referied, andtto be" candid," Ido not think it
myself, to hai , e bieri quite sufficient, when referring
to a ;subject important to the whole human fami.
ly,_as Is the one at present under consideration,—
1111
I will theref ore embrace the opportunity now of
feririg, of proclaiming to all who may feel any in
terest
in the matter, that I am at present, and have
been for some time past, (a few days at least,) a
rum believerlin the general pretensions and princi
ples! - of that science (if science it be,) to which I
have referredt That . my friend "Candor," should
;
not !misunderstand 'my present position in relation
to natter, I repeat, that I-at present, most
firmly believe, } that the principles embodied in what
ialermed Animal Magnetism, are pclitive reali
ties, .1
undeniable and incontrovertible truths,—
"Truths" thtit will stand the test of the most
scriitinizing criticisms of men on earth, and final
, ly, of the highest order of Angelic Beings in the
. heaVenly world, where, during a period of unend
ing years, shall be continually unfolding and im
parted to thdi spiritual world, emenations of that
Wisdom, Knowledge and Power, that exists in the
mind and character of the Great Architect of all
worlds—whO commanded, while all was darkness,
" 4 . t there pe light, and there was light."
In committing myself on this most extraordina
ry subject, now claiming the attention of minds
thelmOsigigantic ofall others on the two continents.
I feel assured, from a deep conviction of the truth
of nay presecit position, that I am not acting pre
maturely or Imadvisedly in the matter; but that
in all probability, the time is not far distant, when
through the aid of mesmeric influence, mainly, the
inhabitants of our earth shall experience such a
revolution in'mental and moral character, as the hu
- - -
man family (never hive as yet witnessed. The
,'Re'r. Dr. Dodds, while delivering a course of six
lectures on the Philosophy of Mesmerism, in Marl
bon:, Chapel,lßoston, Mass., to an audience corn
pri'sing over iwo thousand'persons, qservel during
one of his le'ctures, "1 have had the subject of
Mesmerism Under consideration for about seven
years, reading all that came in my way for and a
gainst it. Five of these years I remained a stub
born, a Most; confirmed sceptic, and refused even
to 'attend a lecture, or witness an experiment, un•
tilll was per'suaded by a particular friend of mine
to accompany him, and see and hear far myself.
I am therefore, prepared to make all due allow.
anee for. hon c est sceptics ; and in the opposition to
me ri during t hi s course of lectures, I shall main•
tai entire empire over-my feelings; and being
fully sensible of their condition, I well know how
tflympatliiie wi th them. Bait there is yet ano
. th i t- class ofi sceptics, who have witnessed ex peri•
_ mOts that tbey cannot, resist, and still cry Hum
bu
and Collusion) Of these, there are two kinds .
First, Those who never investigate any thing for
themselves, and who do not know the definitions
of "the words, • humbug and collusion.' but who,
nevertheless,luse them very freely-, because they
hay l e heard T heir minister, their doctor, dr. per
ch4nce, their( schoolmaster, use them. They do
it by imitation, oti the same principle that the par
rotl imitates the sound of the human voice, and
they-do it just about as understandingly, Second,
These who.re talented, and desire to keep MI the
wings of the: poptilar breeze, and catch the breath
Of fame. These rosy be known by the ridicule,
wit and sarcasm they euiploy, through the press
and otherwise. But htimbug and collusion' have
'become stereotyped words, and their use costs but
. ,
t little labor; and they anw m
s
er oSt admirably to
'supply the place of sound argument and common
'Sense in the, most of Minds." The' leirned Doc
'tor further oinerved: "if My hearers will please

other, may ' t douht a new science; yet, howe'ver
strong or incomprehensible it may., appear, he'
will not"denounce till he has given the subj4t a
candid investigation.
I am speakingof those only whcidenotince without
investigatio, and who can assign no'other reason
for,ao doing, but their ovia willing ig'r:hianbe, of

gentleman remarked, on another occasion, during
the deliverylof these lectures referred to, "I am

troVersy Man denies the truth of Mesmerism; and
before this enlightened congregation who shall be

says: 4 • Electricity, which is an atmospheric em
asiation train God, and which is moved by his
will, is that substance out of which all• worlds
and their splendid appendages were made. Hence,

tricity. Hence, the twenty-nine globes, belonging
to our sYstem, are electrically,' geologically, and
magnetically made. They are. but twenty-nine
magnets revolving` 'around. our ski as a centre.
The sun 'being pure electricity or primal
matter, is but an emanation from the Deity. It is
consequently in a positive state. Hence, elec
tricity is continually passing from the sun, as a
common centre to the twenty-nine surrounding
worlds: on the same principle that it passes from
'a positive to a negative ciciud. Having done its
duty in giving light, heat, and vegetation, as well
as magnetic power to globes, it is returned by re
action to the sun and these two motions from the
vertices'that roll worlds around him. It is im•
possible that there can be any inherent attraction
and repulsion in matter. Attraction and repulsion
are but different 'dispositions of electricity. The
best magnets are now made for the galvanic bat
tery. Hence, electricity, galvanism and magnet
ism, are but in substance - one and the same fluid,
and as this is prinial matter, an emanation from
the Eternal Mind, so all the powers of attraction
and repulsion originated in Deity. His will conies
in contact with electricity, and through that sub
tle agent he moves the whole immeasurable uni
verse in accordance with nature's law.
All worlds are in motion. They roll rapid as
the lightning's blaze, and in the most apparent con
fusion; yet all is calm, regular and harmonious.
ciod is, therefore, connected with his universe, and
superintends all its multifarious operations. no'
he is thus intimately united with inert matter, yet
he is distinct from the whole."
"• Thou apart,
Above, beyond ; 0 tell me, mighty Mind,
Where art thou? Shall I dive into the deep
Call to the sun ? or ask the roaring winds
For their Creator t Shall I question loud
The thunder, if in that the. Almighty dwells ?
Or holds he furious storms in straitened reins,
And bids fierce whirlwinds wheel his rapid car I"
" Worlds are not 'only electrically, geologically,
and magnetically mude,but they are electrically and
magnetically suspended and,rnoved by the immel ,
dime energies of the Divine Mind." It apyearol
that at this point in one of Dr. D.'s lectures, he!
paused and introduced to his audience an electri I
zing machine, observing at the same time, '• Here
is an image in paper costume. I will attach it to
this machine and charge it. The audience were
then asked to behold the suspended papers and;
their repulsion to each other after being equally
charged. He then observed, I will put my fingers
near them, and afterwards said, see how they are
attracted by my hand. They touch me, give off'
their electricity, become equalized with my fin-,
gers, and then fall. Here, then, is suspension, at .1
traction, and repulsion by electricity. I
. It may, however, be said, that if worlds are!
moved by electricity, that they must necessarily I
move as quick as lightning. This does not follow.
Here is an orrery, with which the most of you!
are acquainted.. I attach it to the electrical ma- 1
chine, and charge it. You see it is moved by giving
off electricity at its points. But though elect ri
cally moved, yet it does tint move as quick as
lightning. The magnet I hold in my hand ltia.as!
charged from .the galvanic battery, and 'by one
single 'stroke of the battery, trim the prongs of
this magnet towards the bow, I can destroy all its
magnetic powers, and by resersing the action, I
can just as suddenly restore them.
I have now clearly shoWn that all motion and I
power originate in mind, and as the human spirit, I
through an electro medium, comes in contact with
matter,' so the infinite Spirit does the same, and I
through this medium he governs the universe.—
Hence, those who deny the mesmeric power, MUST.
to he consistent with themselves, deny that there;
is any Medium through which mind can come in]
contact with matter : or else, deny that mind, ab.!
stractly considered. has any power to produce
results. • Elut the denial of either of these, is a de.
nial of an all•powerfdl, self evistant Spirit, the Urea- I
toi and Governor of the Universe. But, on the
other hand how sublime the idea, that God is elec- I
tric-ally and magnetically connected with his Uni
verse, that by the energies of his will, he has con.'
densed and formed wonders from electricity, which
is but the atmospheric emanation of his own Spit::
it, and that by electricity he sustains, rolls and gov
erns them from age to age. And how sublime
the idea, that lie has ' poured forth from spirit's
awful fountain, and kindled into existence a world
of ratiorrals ; he has poure.d himself through all
his works, and stamped upon them Beauty, Order,'
and Harmony, which are but the reflected inipres.!
sions of , his ow,n Splendor." Dr. Dod's observed
on introducing his third lecture :
: Ladies and gentlemen—The tWo lectures I have
had the pleasure to deliver, and the successfu4ex :
perirrients I have during the last two evenings per.!
fort - lied in your presence. have awakened opposi•
tion, and excitement has truly become tremendu-
on's : Hundreds cannot gain admittance into the
capacin'us chapel, and the breathless anxiety and
sdilness of this crowded congregation, show the;
deep and stircinginterest which you feel in the
science of Mesmerism, which is the science of!
Mind and its god like poWers." In his fohrth lec
ture, he introduces himself in the following lan•
nage : "It is a source of gratification'to me, that
public attention in Boston and vicinity, is eom•
pletely awakened to the interesti . of Spiritualism',
and that they are giving this subject that investi•
gation which its irriportance deniands. We lire
emphatically in an age of investigation and im:
pro'vement, when light appears to be pouring in
• oceans on our world ; and he who shuts his eyes,
and scoffs and sneers Yecause others open thir's
and see, is not only recreant to dutf,but do - ei society
an irreparable wrong. Brit those who remain in
skepticism rtifiCh . longer on the subject of
Mesmerism, will be suspected either of ignorance
or dishonesty. I Make this remark ; becatis'd'there
is uo possibte.,apOlogy that any 'man of common
sense should remain in skepticism another day.—
Ile can go home and try it upon ; his children or
friends, test its power and know its truth, and this
every man is bound to do, who desires to mitigate
human pain, and assuage human scoes. The subject
is one of paramount consideration, and is worthy of
your best affections, your most ardent zeal, and
your warmest hOtie - s.'
•
It} rejilite; the query, as to .
the number of de
drees or stagesinto whiCti a subject may be thrown,
the Rev. gentleman observed, • There are as yet
bfit five degrees which have come under my oh.
servation. After commenting in course upon the
four Mit degrees, he remarked that the fifth degree
is Clairv`4ance.' In speaking 'in another part
of his lectures, on the character of Clairvoyant
subjects, he observed, ~T he most distinguished
Clairvoyants now in r the United States, are Jack.
sop Davis, Lucius 'E Burk 3iar, and Welter S.

- I am well:aware - that many will call me an en

end gentleman then went on to say, that he believed
the doctrine of the Savior to be a perfect doctrine,
exactly adapted to the bodies as well as the souls of
men, that there was a difference between a mir
acle and a gift of healing, fk.c. I. will now take the
liberty of introducing, from the Roston Daily Herald,
the following communication referring to the." chair.
voyarit ,, A. J. Davis.
The editor of the Boston Herald, in introducing
the following communication into the columns of
his daily. paper of the 3d inst., says : The Ncw
York correspondent of the Chronotype givas the
following account of a forthcoming book, by A.
J. Davis, the famous Poughkeepsie Clairvoyant.
whose wonderful powers were some year or more
since announced to the "ttorld, by Prof. Bu . sh We
do not place full reliance on the pretensions or'
Davis; but his Revellations if founded in iruth,are
the most astonishing things the world has ever
seen, and they are worthy of attention.
New Yourt, July list, IS4 a.
I have just been looking over the unbound sheets
of a book which, whatever be the final decision as
to its value, can scarcely fail attracting very wide
attention, and of being the.occasion of many con
trciversies. Indeed, I may safely say that it is, all
things considered, the most remarkable work ever
printed. It will probably be given to the public
in the course of the ensuing week ;. meanwhile I
propose to give your readers some account of its
contents.
The book of which I speak is a very handsomely
printed octavo of nearly eight hundred pages. It
is celled " Tug PnISCIPLLS or NATCHT., lien DI
VI;Ve REVELATIONS, AND A VOICI: TO M•sKt3t,
It purports to be communicated to the world by
and ihrough As anew Jamsos Ds vi s. the Tough
keepsie Seer and .Clairvoyant."
1 his work has already been introduced to public
notice by Prof. Bush, the well-known Swedenbor
gian writer, and by a prettr,lively controversy
which he carried on concecninglt wi•ki Pr. Taylor
Lewis, through the columns-of flie,Tribune. It is
d.vided into three parts; the first of which treats of
Reason and the right mode' of discussing truth
It also dwells at some length and in the roost im
pressive terms upon the consequences antlered by
the world on account of its alleged departure from
Reason and her dictates. The motto of this part
is, " A ny theory. hypothesis, philosophy, sect. creed.
or institution that fears investigation, openly mani
tests its on n error.
The Secund part treats of the formation of the
Unit erse, of the great presiding came, of the So
lar System, of the Earth arid of the phi-Aral set.
epees generally, together With the History of the j
{Liman Race, beginning with its creation. It also I
treats of prevailing systems of philosophy. of the;
Bible, of the lite of the Savior, and of many dis
ticgiushed benefactors of Humanity. From this;
it passes to an exposition of the nature of the
Soul, arid of the relations of spiritual existences
generally. The motto of this part In. iteason is ;
a flower of the spirit, and. its fragrance is liberty I
and knew ledge.'
The third part consists of an application of what
h as g uil e bef ot e„ and i s called, " A Voice to Man ;
kind." Its motto Is, `• When distributtie justice'
pervades the social world. virtue and morality;
will bloom with an 1171r110eal beauty; while ;het
Sun of Righteousness will arise in the horizon of
universal industry and shed its genial rays oier all f
the fields of peace, plenty and avatar( nAPJFINESS...
It discusses the condition of those. who labor, the'
clasies into which society is now clouted, and the
remedy for existing social earls.
This lisiok is 'written in a uniformly elei•ated and;
often eloquent style. It explains the profoundest;
subjects with great clearness, anil frequently with
most reinarkabte tel of illustration, anti
excite observation as well by its intrinsic charac
ter as by the manner of its composition. The
l a tt er feature is the one. however, about which the i
most will be said, and which will he especially!
subjected to sober skepticism as well as to jeering
raillery and irrational abuse •
To the whole work is prefixed an introduction I
by the am inisensis of the clairvoyant, giving an .
account of Davis, and of the manner in tvinch the!
volume has been proifuced. According to this,
writer, Davis, who is now about ; twenty-one, and ;
who had followed the humble trade of a bhoetria-;
ker, was present at a. lecture on mesmerism &dlr..;
creel in Poughkeepsie some four years ago. The
lecturer failed in the attempt to throw him info i f
the mesmeric state. Another person in tins town. I
howeyer, satin after . succeeded in magnetising him I
when he exhibited remarkable powers of clairvoy
ance. 'the experiment was subsequently repeate',
and he soon began to prescribe fur the
lie also displayed a power .of scientific thought,
while in the mesmeric state, which greatly im.l
I pressed all who came in contact with him.
! Up to this time, as it is maintained with a great
variety of evidence, he had received only the sim•
plest education, his knowledge in fact nut extend.
ing bepord that of children. About this tlme he!
j fell in y , iih a Dr. Lyon, who has since been his;
magnetizer, having been chosen for that office by I
Davis! while in a state of clairvoyance.. They
came to New York in obedience to the direction
lof the t` Seer," where they have since remained,
I and where the lectures of Which this book is corn-
Iposed were delivered. . . .
These lectures were given by Davis, while in a I
'I state which tie describes as one of almost complete I
I separatiou of the soul from the body, and in which
as lie says, if his magnetizer should lose his con•
nection with him, it would be impossible for his
spirit to regain its material residence. He says
that in this state the soul, freed from physical ob.
svetions, is able to range through the universe,
to , associate with disembodied spirits and to per.
I cei4 and otter truth without reference to any of
I the theories, philosophies, and prejbdices or the
1 world.
His lectures or utterances While in this state,
have been written down by a Mr. rislibotigh, who
was selected for the purpose by Dayis,..himself
The process by which they were delivered was us
follows: after the mind of the .clairvoyant had re•
ceived an impression, it resumed its natural organs
of speech its order to communicate it,thgt it might
be recorded; and then returned for further explana
lions
The . book thus purports to be a revelation of ,
truth important to human welfare from the extra
natural to the natural world. It was delivered by•,
an uneducated and ignorant person entirely unac '
quainted beforehand with the subjects of which it
treats, iii obedience not to any impplse of his own,
,- but to an irresistible impression made upon him, ,
as it is claimed, during the magnetic trances. It
certainly presents a problem not easy to be solved
upon-the hypotheris that it is a pure impoSture.—.
For it is impossible' to conceive that an ignorant
shoemaker's boy, or that the persons who have
beekengaged with him, could compose a work of
such 'a character as this.
The following extracts are taken from the col
umns of the New York Daily Tribtfite 'of the 3d
instant. They'hafe . reference, as the reader will
;observe, to thOwork above alluded 'to by the Her
aid. The editor or correspondent of the Tribune,
occupieslmore than'fout% columns of that paper, in
'a review of the work referred to, and promises at'
Another time some additional remarks : •

tial to the cOMprehensiort of Nature. This portion
f the work is in striking coincidence with various
writings of Swedenborg, upon Natural Sciencr,
which it is alleged that Mr. Davie has never seen.
A subsequent passage upon different kinds of mo
tion is equally . striking for the same reason. I:
this connection. a strict analogy between different
kingdoms of Nature, and between parts and the
whole, is affirmed. Each part is a series, arranged
according to the same laws of order by which all
the parts combine to make up a collective whole
Each thing is a series, as it were, of circles beyond
circles, all depending upon a common centre. In
confirmation of this theory of a universal law of
organization, existing in different degrees in all
created things, the Clairvoyant refers to the facts
and phenomena of the Physical Sciences, to An.
atomy, &c. He speaks of mechanical inventions.
and of. Art, as :elated to Nature and to this prim
ciple of progressive development, and then comes
to the discussion of Spirit, the production and ex•
istence of which he characterizes as the final cause
of Nature. From this section we make the fol
lowing extract, which affhids a good specimen of
the manner and spirit of this whole portion of the
Work :
And while observing the poworfdl movements of
all things contained in the terrestrial and celestial
spheres, there cannot but be a conception of Divine
Wisdom legitimately accompanying the former con
elusion. The innumerable centres of the stellar Bye
tern the many-suns, with their accompanying orbs,
planets, and satellites; the perfect precision of :
general movements or allthesb bodies their regular
and connected adjustment and unity ; the distributive
harmony and equilibrium offorces and motions which
' they constantly display—are all manifestations of
grandeur, beauty and order Unspeakable. The reg
ular inclination of orbits and tileiri and the-definite
distances of globes from each other; their nonstant
I sameness of motion, and the uniforin direction which
al' take; the apparent sympathy and reciprocation
of the spheres and atmospheres of the innumerable
and apparently independent bodies ; the united and
constant action which each of these manifests—all
all conspire to force upon the mind the irresistible
impression that the great and united movements of
the Universe are all being perfornie.l according to a
most inconceivably perfect adjustment of mathemat
ical and mechanical laws, and that all things are
guided in the very motions of their inherent life and
activity, by the essence of Omnipotent Wisdom !
Their formation and procreation I their particles and
constituent parts manifest, in aheir order and arrange:
ment, the perfection of pure Wisdom and Intelli
gence —while their numerical extent, and diverse
modes of development, infinitely transcr nd ihe high
est powers of human calculation and demonstration.
No process of analogical reasoning or of mathemati
cal calculation has 'reached that point of perfection
by which may be demonstrated and calculated the
exact distances at which these spheres revolve, the
inunen iity of space which they - occupy, and the
harmony of the whole !
I have only time to add that I trust your readers
will agairi pardon me for the very gyeat liberty !avail
myself of on the prevent occasion.
I am, as ever, with much respect, yours, &c., --

lITIN'E' Rev: J. 0. Gilbert, a `MuthddistlE'llitcopal
I Preacher/ writes to Dr. Jayne."-Motriatsk - Wh,
April 21, 1847. Dear Sir—i never but oncw3sed
Your medicines; it was se follows: i waft-Sr:odr
country seat, and refired - to bed.abot‘t eleven o'clock
in good health, and fell asleep, but;was soon awak
ened by extreme pain in one hand and arm.,-I suc
ceeded in keeping my bed till about four o'clock.
When I arose I found my hand badly swollen, or in
a high state of inflammation. A small black spot on
the back of my hand, about the size of a. five cent
piece. It soon rotted and came: out to the bone.
When I arose the pain was very severe, running into
my head and over the whole system. By twelve o'-
clock my head and face were badly swollen. The
glands of my throat swelled very much, and by this
time every tooth in my head was more or less loose ;
two thirds of the skin of my mouth and lips peeled
off; my sight quite effected; no physician near.
Isolicitrd myfriends to take me home, (fifteen miles)
but they were fearful I could not stand it, when T.
F. Davenport, who-kept the public house, requested
me to go to his house. Chills, faintness and sicknes
was constantly increasing upon me; I had become
almost insensible. As I reached his house, his moth
er, alarmed at my appearance ' met me at the stove
with a spoonful of JAYNE'S ALTERATIVE, and
repeated the dose two or three times in the course
of an hour, in which time the faintness, sickness and
chills had principally left—a free perspiration was
on the surface and the inflammation vastly abating;j
The third day I was able to ride borne. The Rev.
Dr. Plympton imformed me the attack was one of
the sevcrest•irind of Malignant Erysipelas, and that
the use of your ALTEnATIve was the means of saving
my life. Itespe . ctfully yours, &c.
