To tho above article I wish to npp.ml the following romarh* : Tin* Doctor says : " I Inul seen but a littlo of tho 90-called spiritual wnting.and Ji.l not wish to cry out humbug until I had fully investigated and tested the mailer tu my own jierson and " I venture tho assertion that no one has had any stronger evi- dence of spiritual intercourse than myself.” The Doctor was wive in his determination not to cry humbug until he had investigated to know whether it was a humbug or tit >work of iminorlnl Sj-iriU* that is making such a uoise in the world; and if he had adluMcd lo this decision ho would un- doubtedly have kept silent. L- t us examine his condition and n<v. and see whether he “ h.is Itad .stronger evidences of spiritual intercourse" than any other person. The Doctor's experience is all comprised in tha history of one brief w k, during which time he says ho “ lost tun pounds in weight, bis nervous system being so affected that ltd could arc'ly h dd a pen, with palpitations and tremors, dis Imbed deep and frightful dreams, giddiness and headache.” In fuel. wa.n die following w*s writtea :*• Come to says he, “ I sun satisfivl, by l<x>king back upon my condition, IrvUou ^pxr.;. i disd. wad has willed yoa all lus property, thirty Ibtiavrad potadi." uo *>i ra> ».-lf i i .' uAa whether 'aeh a Uuug wore i.Mkhtv, b it coaiiaucd ray co .vcrsatiea with the supposed < inf^rraei ihi. 03 the mxt Moadiy evening I should r from the executor of the will.

The Doctor would have hi< reader- believe that no person who has investigated the subject has had a hottei opportunity, or been in a Idler condition to righllv discern and comprehend the alleged spiritual phenomena, than himself. This assumption signifies to me that his deplorable state is not much improved. Tbe unfortunate creatures in the insane asylum think much as ho docs, namely, that everybody els insane, and that they are in a better condition and have had better opportunities of determining tho matter of their sanity or other given questions, than anybody else. If Dr, Norton meant to be fair and to really enlighten tho public on this im- portant subject, it seems to me he would not have protended that his condition and experience, ns described, bear any com- parison to tho condition and experience of thoso called me- diums for Spirits. IIow long would a medium last in a condition like his, losing nearly a pound and a half in weight per day, and being in six days rendered so weak as to be scarcely able to hold a pen : Tho two Misses Fox, mere chil- dren while they were at my house during the winter of 1S30, have since that time, under constant rapping, grown to wo- manhood, healthy, strong and sensible: and ibis is the gen- eral fact with other Spirit mediums.

In one afternoon, 1 wrote more than ten pages of . aod that while f was engaged in conversation upon other sub- jects disconnected vriib thoss upon which I was writing. I also ia\. .d the- Spirits to explain m ray obscure points in physiology, and •xpla.iu!ions irnm-Jiatcly given.

At tho end of this 1 « Up my mind to slop uud poet up, /*,Qare my book-, and see I assure you it was no easy matter for mu to stop., boon speedily cured by tbe influence of Spirits and bv their pro- scriptions. Tbe Doctor must look elsewhere than to mediums for Spirits for a parallel lo his condition. Such states as he de- scribes are not unfamiliar to those accustomed to the practice of medical science. It seems to me the climax of presumption in the Doctor to say, “ that no one has had any stronger evidence of spiritual intercourse than” himself. It will be seen from the foregoing quotations, that he knew little or nothing about the subject until he fell into the deplorable condition described; and “ in only one verlT in that condition he claims to have learned more of Spirit ualUm than those in a right state of mini! and health who have pursued the investigation seven years, through several hundred different mediums, witnessing perhaps as many phases of th< phenomena. If wo admit that L<- was influenced bv disembodied Spirits at all, ho only experienced the most doubtful and insignifi- cant phase of the phenomena. Ilis corporeal hand was moved to write without any mental effort of his own, a« he most positively affirm-. Hence ho had only the evidence of tho involuntary motion of his hand. This in itself certainly furnishes no evi- dence of spiritual interposition. Yet in this condition he would have his readers suppose culminate all tho strongest evidences of spiritual intercourse; whereas this at best is but negative evidence— a kind of evidence and phenomena not re- garded by Spiritualists as proving anything. All tho external and internal sense* of men arc directly ap- pealed to through tho different phases of the manifestations, and each sense is convicted of the reality of spiritual intercourse. The various incidents of our lives, and even our most secret thoughts and actions, are described. Spirits speak and write in all languages known lo men, and duplicate their own autographs made while on the earth. Mediums are often used to write and <pcak languages with which neither they nor any other pc present is acquainted. In this way nearly, if not quite, alMho languages have been employed. Sometimes one medium used to speak in unknown tongue*, nnd another medium is used to interpret. Medium’s hands are often used to make motions I significant of certain kinds of bu-tincss in which the controlling Spirit was engaged in the earth-life. This last phase bears tin nearest comparison, perhaps, lo the action of the Spirits (if they were Spirits) who used tho Doctor’s hand, of any in our cata- logue ; for it can not lie denied that many persona employ thorn- selves in writing nonsense and falsehoods during their eHrth- « t .ken up bodily nnd suspended manner Mimlar t*> that in winch history. All of these ph.'i i* onto *-a?*..* the mediums are in •onsiinti* *tnt<> externally; but lives. 1'molis arc somotiim in the air, or transported in : l ’hilip was, according to the Wldo hi 1 have repeatedly witnessed. In insciou-, mill in other* in an unco in either caso tho medintivo condition is not one generally con- sidered reliable for testimony. Spirit (fidUts in general seek evi x» corroborating their sayings, before they place entire confi- dence in them. Mediums see aud converse with Spirits, and Aon repeat the conversations to mortal'. Thwo medium-, often describe Spirits to their friends, and loll what they are doing or aro about lo do, which generally lake* place accord- ingly. Those thing* transpiring as predicted, constitute the <-vi- denco tha tthor do see correctly. Our brother invastlgatom of former times adopted tho follow- ing very wire rule of discriminating between genuine and pre- sumptuous prophets : “ When a prophet sptnkoth >o the name of the Lord, (or Spirits), if the thing follow not, nor como to pass, tint is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously."--*Dvul. 1 8 : ' 22 . These ore comparatively but few of the evidences given through mediums of these few classes. There being some thirty ehvisifications of mediums, it would be inexpedient in this connec- tion lo lake space to specify them. 1 will add to this, however, one more of the evidences the people (no/ mciliumi) who have investigated the subject, have of the presence and intercourse with Spirits. Spirits arc accustomed, under favorable conditions, to reconstruct the physical body, in part or wholly, and speak, sing, and write to us. Spirit hands are often seen writing in our midst, and we have manuscripts thus produced. W e have shaken hands with Spirits as with mortals. Spirits thus organ, ized are recognized by their friends, by their peculiar features, as readily as when on the earth- In these cases the senses of touch, hearing aud seeing, arc all brought into requisition and alike convicted of the reality. The persons who feel, hear, sec and testify to these things, are not mediums, but men, women and children, in their normal condition. All these things I have experienced and witnessed ; and this is but a tithe of the evidence extant, but it is deemed sufficient to show the monstrous pre- sumption of Doctor Norton in claiming “ that no one has had stronger evidence of spiritual intercourse than himself.” Under tho head of the third and fourth classifications of rea- sons which Dr. Norton urges against tho spiritual hypothesis, he appears to bo inconsistent with his narrativ e. lie says, “ It was absolutely necessary that I should have the idea in my mind before it could be written.” l»ut in the commencement of hi* narrative, he says, “ I called upon the Spirit,*, if nny were pres- ent, to move my hand. To my astonishment my hand imme- diate! v began to move,” etc. Ha did not have the idea in hi- mind that Spirits were present or that his hand would move. If he had, he would not have been astonished. Neither docs it appear that the name of B— C— was in his mind ? Again, he a fabrication.” Who fabricated i t D o c t o r I f what you say is true, says, “ I need not say that tho whole story about tho legacy was viz, “ That we commune not with the dead at all” and that it was absolutely necessary that you should have the ideas in your mind, then, by your own showing, your article is a fabrication of your own, to make a “ splurge” against, or to palm off for, Spir- itualism. 1 don’t want to think so badly of you ns that. I pre- fer that you should have the privilege of amending your article and making it consistent. Tho Doctor says, “ the Spirits were most infamous liars.” We in our natural senses who have ex- amined the spiritual phenomena thoroughly, think it unscientific to be hasty in saying Spirits or mortals lie, but loin are equally Halle to mi&latts. The so-called science*, ev«n, are sometimes more mistakes, and so it sometimes happens in tho best of families with their predilections aud theology. My experience more in- clines me to think tho difficulty the Spirit (if it was one) found in writing the name “ Lewi. Beebe Hancbett,” was owing to the badness of the medium. Tbe mediatiro state, as we view it, is n passive one; and it is evident the Doctor was not passive, espe- cially when he was anxiously trying to get tho middle name, nnd inquiring about the windfall from ” Win. C. in Ireland.” If the dead communicate not at all, as he says, from whence did he get tho name of T. R- C., or (lie information that he was teaching in South Down, Ireland, or the name of Thomas Trumv, nnd that lie was a principal witness; finally, that Trumv had been thrown from a carriage, and was then dead, and then, again, that he was only stunned, nnd was recovering, and also that Napo- leon would bo assassinated, etc i Did Spirits give him the above, or did he filbrieate it, a- he claims ! In determining whether the Doctor i- a true or presumptuous prophet in tho matter, we will adopt tho above rule in Deuteronomy, and wait until the “ things come to pas-*." Under tho fifth and sixth classification of what tho Doctor would like to have called “ reasons'' for his disbelief in Spiritual- ism, he say-, “ I have repeatedly called up the Spirit of a person now living, nnd lreld long convocations with it. To my mind it is conclusive evidence that we no more converse with the Spirits of tho dead than with those of the absent living; in other words, that wo commune not witii tho dead at all." It the Doc- tor had .-aid he did not think disembodied Spirits icrotc through him, 1 should consider it the most sensible thing he has said. Undoubtedly the communications which he wou’d like to have u* believe were with tho “ absent living," are equally tipochry- phnl as the others. Ho says, again, “ I am satisfied that the ideas contained in my philosophy mu] poetry'Wore my own ami he might with c y propriety linvo lidded, that hi*communications iboul the war Franco ami Germany, remedies for dt- -a-.o<, tho mill* nnium, and the d. -ire to get into company with tho signers of the Declaration <»f Independence, were his own. Now, Doctor, why have you made all t!ii-> pretense about your spiritual experience 1 ll is clear from your own statement that your state bear* no comparison to that of Spirit medium?. You claim that all tha ideas pasted through your own brain, and that you could always tell before fiuUliiug a seiiU-ni ••what it was to Ire ", that you c.iiibl gi‘ *= tin* answers to qu< -lions just as well without writing them, aud that you could Mop writing, thinking or answering questions, any time you pleased. Then why in tin- name of common sense do you pretend that this exj-eri-.-p.ee fur- nishes “ stronger evidence of spiritual intercourse than any body else has,” or arty evidence at all ! Do you mean to say if you aro not a medium for Spirits, no other person w 1 and that all the “ strongest evidences of spiritual intercourse" occurred in your own j.or-on! You say, “There was a kind of enchantment about it, and I was bound by a spell more potent thmt that by which the son of UJysaas was kept upon CalyjaoV I -le. But thanks to my watchful mentor, I did break away,” etc. 1 d< not know how strong the spell was that hound Ulysses. But really, Doctor, was there any greater enchantment in writing about the legacy, or your philosophy and poetry, than in v<rititijj tha article under review ? Was the spell more potent? If youi watchful mentor, had helped you to break from this last spell of writing sooner, you would, I think, had just occasion i.ot only t< llmnk your watchful mentor, but to thank God! In the DoctorV defense against the implication width will b. suggested to some minds, tliat he was associated with a c.'avs < lying Spirits, he triumphantly asks, “ Does not Satan often tram form himself into an angel of l i g h t W e l l really, Doctor, i in all my experience I never saw him do it, but have often wished I could. Having heard so much about this gentleman. 1 have, for tire last seven years of my investigation of spiritual manifestations, diligently searched for this notorious being, and have never learned tliat he has communicated through any Spirit medium, and there have not, to niy knowledge, anmanv festations occurred which bear nny ire.iror comparison lo his reputed character than vour own state, as you described it during one week, does to that of spiritual mediums; and as you and I, Doctor, judge “ things by their frutfiq” wo must conclude that Satan is waiting until some of his friends give heed to the subject before he communicates. This idea is strengthened by the rule you suggest, that like attracts like. NOW FOB SOMETHING NEW. Dr. Norton commences what he terms “ a few words, by way of explanation of the phenomena of spiritual writing." He says : Being careful to ars'd aay i-i.Wii.-y acts, the w illis placed in abey- ance, aid thus fall play is gives to emotional aid other mental act* It mast be remembered that emotions may have an internal as well a- an o.tierail origiu. Intellections give rise to emotion*, and cmolion*, in their taro, reader the process of thoa gat more rapid and clear. I have no doabt that math of ths writing will come under th: denomina tion of emotional action, and it tniy bo a question whether tte intclicc. <usi operations which precede the writing, do not. in every irut-vac- flueucc the muicles through the medium of emotion?. That is to say, if wo will to be passive, the will that will* will bo passive ! But does not “ being careful to avoid any voluntary acts," involve in itself an act of volition ? It makes no differ- ence whether tho cause for thi* willing be of an interna! or an external character— whether the result of emotions or intellec- tions. In either caso, ire Kill, and are conscious o f trilling. Be- sides, you say, intellections give rise to emotions. Now, accord- ing to your statement, there can be no emotion without intellec- tion. Thus we see that the intellect acts and gires ri-e to emo- tions ; but can the intellect act unconsciously ! Does not intellection necessarily involve consciousness ? Then how are you going to inako out your unconscious emotional theory I It is simply a contradiction in terms. But again the L'octor says: I b-g leave, here, to refer my readers to the chapter oa the Kerroa* System, in the fourth edition of Carpenter's Physiology, u; they will fiiul it reviewed in the July number (for year 1S53> of the British and Foreign Medical Chirological Review, where he takes the ground that there is such a thing as involuntary cerebration, as automatic tire-j I find in Upturn's Mental Philosophy, under the head of ••Drvam.'ng." the following word*: ••A train of conceptions arise in tbe mind, and wear.* not conscious of any direction or control whatever over <hi-m_ They exist whether we will or no<- Here we have the same idea of involuntary cerebration, although expreeaed in a little different language from that which Carpenter used. Dr. Carpenter, however, go?* still farther, and talcs the ground that cerebration may go oa without either volition or coit-ciou-rac?*. This would seem lo be true with regard to the :omn.imbuli*t. who.-.- actions are doubtless tbe result of cerebration, although he is entirely unconscious of what he is doing. If be U uuconsoiooa, of course the action must be involuntary ; for there can be no volition without con sciou'iK-ss. The dreamer is conscious of his intellectual operations although he •* possesses no control over them." Exjtorionco shows tliat everything can not, as a living thought ready lo bo expressed, exist in tho mind or brain, in any one re- lation, state, and instant of time. It also shows that the brain, or mind may act in some staffs and relations of life JiilorontU from what it does in others. But in every state and relation oi its action, we are at tho time conscious of it? action, and there can be no “ involuntary (or unconscious) cerebration as automa- tic thought-’’ Some clairvoyants and Spirit mediums are uncon- scious of what they have said or done while in that peculiar con- dition, after they have resumed the normal state— in other words, ** F-' * U* ig-d -fit..> and reJntron*.

USE OF THE NEW GOSPEL. nr I saac w. r. MrWBJXf. m. i>. T heius wore deficiencies in the Mosaic institution ; tti<-;.- n-.re intended to I - supplied in tiie institution of t!.o Christian relig- ion. Moses u.d not te-\cb immortality— Itssus did. M*.— .■■» ’ idea of God was gross— that of Jams was refined. Moses (.aid that he sato God— the Jews of a later age did not believe it. ••No mao hath seen God at anytime." Mo* os did not Ul.v-.o that the present life influenced the condition of the fuluro life, (he was a materialist) ; Jesus, to some extent, supplied the deficiency. Moses’ views of man’s inter-relations, wore circumscribed and im- perfect. Je-us taught much concerning man^ duty to hi* fellow- creaturos. The trial of two thousand years io endeavoriog to liso man to harmony with God, truth and justice, ought to jus- tify the inference, that it is defective, that it h not the power of iod at work with man, that it has become aged, and must soon sleep with its Cithers— tho ancient systems of religion. jy Bat no system of religion aver departed from the world with- out being succeeded by anew one. Since, therefore, the Chris- tina dispensation is rapidly departing from our c as:.-*, it well to inquire as to the character of iu succe-ssor. A new aud Let- ter Gospel is being ushered into tbe world; it comes under the seal of angels, and with the witues* of countless millions of Spirits 1 The great system of religion now brought lo light, docs not purport to Lave been feund in ana- temple of* human art, by any man, as tho hook of tdosa was found by Qilkiali.

Tin* Doctor says : " I Inul seen but a littlo o f tho 90-called spiritual wnting.and J i.l not wish to cry out humbug until I had fully investigated and tested the mailer tu my own jierson and " I venture tho assertion that no one has had any stronger evi­dence of spiritual intercourse than myself.”

The Doctor was wive in his determination not to cry humbug until he had investigated to know whether it was a humbug or tit > work of iminorlnl Sj-iriU* that is making such a uoise in the world; and if he had adluMcd lo this decision ho would un­doubtedly have kept silent. L- t us examine his condition and

n<v. and see whether he “ h.is Itad .stronger evidences o f spiritual intercourse" than any other person.

The Doctor's experience is all comprised in tha history of one brief w • k, during which time he says ho “ lost tun pounds in weight, bis nervous system being so affected that ltd could

arc'ly h dd a pen, with palpitations and tremors, d is Imbed deep and frightful dreams, giddiness and headache.” In fuel.

The Doctor would have hi< reader- believe that no person who has investigated the subject has had a hottei opportunity, or been in a I d l e r condition to righllv discern and comprehend the alleged spiritual phenomena, than himself. This assumption signifies to me that his deplorable state is not much improved. Tbe unfortunate creatures in the insane asylum think much as ho docs, namely, that everybody els insane, and that they are in a better condition and have had better opportunities of determining tho matter o f their sanity or other given questions, than anybody else. I f D r, Norton meant to be fair and to really enlighten tho public on this im­portant subject, it seems to me he would not have protended that his condition and experience, ns described, bear any com­parison to tho condition and experience o f thoso called me­diums for Spirits. IIow long would a medium last in a condition like his, losing nearly a pound and a half in weight per day, and being in six days rendered so weak as to be scarcely able to hold a pen : Tho two Misses Fox, mere chil­dren while they were at my house during the winter of 1S30, have since that time, under constant rapping, grown to wo­manhood, healthy, strong and sensible: and ibis is the gen­eral fact with other Spirit mediums.

I assure you it was no easy matter for mu to stop.,

boon speedily cured by tbe influence of Spirits and bv their pro­scriptions. Tbe Doctor must look elsewhere than to mediums for Spirits for a parallel lo his condition. Such states as he de­scribes are not unfamiliar to those accustomed to the practice of medical science.

It seems to me the climax o f presumption in the Doctor to say, “ that no one has had any stronger evidence of spiritual intercourse than” himself. It will be seen from the foregoing quotations, that he knew little or nothing about the subject until he fell into the deplorable condition described; and “ in only one verlT in that condition he claims to have learned more o f Spirit ualUm than those in a right state of mini! and health who have pursued the investigation seven years, through several hundred different mediums, witnessing perhaps as many phases of th< phenomena. If wo admit that L<- was influenced bv disembodied Spirits at all, ho only experienced the most doubtful and insignifi­cant phase of the phenomena. Ilis corporeal hand was moved to write without any mental effort of his own, a« he most positively affirm-. Hence ho had only the evidence of tho involuntary motion o f his hand. This in itself certainly furnishes no evi­dence o f spiritual interposition. Y et in this condition he would have his readers suppose culminate all tho strongest evidences of spiritual intercourse; whereas this at best is but negative evidence— a kind of evidence and phenomena not re­garded by Spiritualists as proving anything.

All tho external and internal sense* of men arc directly ap- pealed to through tho different phases o f the manifestations, and each sense is convicted of the reality of spiritual intercourse. The various incidents of our lives, and even our most secret thoughts and actions, are described. Spirits speak and write in all languages known lo men, and duplicate their own autographs made while on the earth. Mediums are often used to write and <pcak languages with which neither they nor any other pc present is acquainted. In this way nearly, if not quite, alMho languages have been employed. Sometimes one medium used to speak in unknown tongue*, nnd another medium is used to interpret. Medium’s hands are often used to make motions

I significant o f certain kinds o f bu-tincss in which the controlling Spirit was engaged in the earth-life. This last phase bears tin nearest comparison, perhaps, lo the action o f the Spirits (if they were Spirits) who used tho Doctor’s hand, of any in our cata­logue ; for it can not lie denied that many persona employ thorn- selves in writing nonsense and falsehoods during their eHrth-

« t .ken up bodily nnd suspended manner Mimlar t*> that in winch

history. All of these ph.'i i*onto *-a?*. .* the mediums are in•onsiinti* *tnt<> externally; but

lives. 1 'm olis arc somotiim in the air, or transported in : l ’hilip was, according to the Wldo hi 1 have repeatedly witnessed. In

insciou-, mill in other* in an unco in either caso tho medintivo condition is not one generally con­sidered reliable for testimony. Spirit (fid Uts in general seek evi

x» corroborating their sayings, before they place entire confi­dence in them. Mediums see aud converse with Spirits, and Aon repeat the conversations to mortal'. Thwo medium-,

often describe Spirits to their friends, and loll what they are doing or aro about lo do, which generally lake* place accord­ingly. Those thing* transpiring as predicted, constitute the <-vi- denco tha tthor do see correctly.

Our brother invastlgatom of former times adopted tho follow­ing very wire rule of discriminating between genuine and pre­sumptuous prophets : “ When a prophet sptnkoth >o the name of the Lord, (or Spirits), if the thing follow not, nor como to pass, tin t is the thing which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously."--*Dvul. 1 8 : '2 2 .

These ore comparatively but few of the evidences given through mediums of these few classes. There being some thirty ehvisifications o f mediums, it would be inexpedient in this connec­tion lo lake space to specify them. 1 will add to this, however, one more of the evidences the people (no/ mciliumi) who have investigated the subject, have of the presence and intercourse with Spirits. Spirits arc accustomed, under favorable conditions, to reconstruct the physical body, in part or wholly, and speak, sing, and write to us. Spirit hands are often seen writing in our midst, and we have manuscripts thus produced. W e have shaken hands with Spirits as with mortals. Spirits thus organ, ized are recognized by their friends, by their peculiar features, as readily as when on the earth- In these cases the senses of touch, hearing aud seeing, arc all brought into requisition and alike convicted o f the reality. The persons who feel, hear, sec and testify to these things, are not mediums, but men, women and children, in their normal condition. All these things I have experienced and witnessed ; and this is but a tithe of the evidence extant, but it is deemed sufficient to show the monstrous pre­sumption of Doctor Norton in claiming “ that no one has had stronger evidence of spiritual intercourse than himself.”

Under tho head o f the third and fourth classifications o f rea­sons which Dr. Norton urges against tho spiritual hypothesis, he appears to bo inconsistent with his narrativ e. l ie says, “ It was absolutely necessary that I should have the idea in my mind before it could be written.” l»ut in the commencement of hi* narrative, he says, “ I called upon the Spirit,*, if nny were pres­ent, to move my hand. To m y astonishment my hand imme­diate! v began to move,” etc. Ha did not have the idea in hi- mind that Spirits were present or that his hand would move. If he had, he would not have been astonished. Neither docs it appear that the name of B — C— was in his mind ? Again, he a fabrication.” Who fabricated i t D o c t o r I f what you say is true, says, “ I need not say that tho whole story about tho legacy was viz, “ That we commune not with the dead at a ll” and that it was absolutely necessary that you should have the ideas in your mind, then, by your own showing, your article is a fabrication of your own, to make a “ splurge” against, or to palm off for, Spir­itualism. 1 don’t want to think so badly of you ns that. I pre­fer that you should have the privilege of amending your article and making it consistent. Tho Doctor says, “ the Spirits were most infamous liars.” We in our natural senses who have ex­amined the spiritual phenomena thoroughly, think it unscientific to be hasty in saying Spirits or mortals lie, but loin are equally H alle to mi&latts. The so-called science*, ev«n, are sometimes more mistakes, and so it sometimes happens in tho best of families with their predilections aud theology. My experience more in­clines me to think tho difficulty the Spirit (if it was one) found in writing the name “ Lewi. Beebe Hancbett,” was owing to the badness of the medium. Tbe mediatiro state, as we view it, is n passive one; and it is evident the Doctor was not passive, espe­cially when he was anxiously trying to get tho middle name, nnd inquiring about the windfall from ” Win. C. in Ireland.”

If the dead communicate not at all, as he says, from whence did he get tho name of T. R- C., or (lie information that he was teaching in South Down, Ireland, or the name of Thomas Trumv, nnd that lie was a principal witness; finally, that Trumv had been thrown from a carriage, and was then dead, and then, again, that he was only stunned, nnd was recovering, and also that Napo­leon would bo assassinated, etc i Did Spirits give him the above, or did he filbrieate it, a - he claims ! In determining w hether the Doctor i- a true or presumptuous prophet in tho matter, we will adopt tho above rule in Deuteronomy, and wait until the “ things come to pas-*."

Under tho fifth and sixth classification of what tho Doctor would like to have called “ reasons'' for his disbelief in Spiritual­ism, he say-, “ I have repeatedly called up the Spirit of a person now living, nnd lreld long convocations with it. To my mind it is conclusive evidence that we no more converse with the Spirits o f tho dead than with those o f the absent living; in other words, that wo commune not witii tho dead at all." It the Doc­tor had .-aid he did not think disembodied S p ir its icrotc through him, 1 should consider it the most sensible thing he has said.

Undoubtedly the communications which he wou’d like to have u* believe were with tho “ absent living," are equally tipochry- phnl as the others.

Ho says, again, “ I am satisfied that the ideas contained in my

philosophy mu] poetry'Wore my own ami he might with c y propriety linvo lidded, that hi*communications ibou l the war Franco ami Germany, remedies for dt- -a-.o<, tho mill* nnium, and the d. -ire to get into company with tho signers of the Declaration <»f Independence, were his own. Now, Doctor, why have you made all t!ii-> pretense about your spiritual experience 1

l l is clear from your own statement that your state bear* no comparison to that of Spirit medium?. You claim that all tha ideas pasted through your own brain, and that you could always tell before fiuUliiug a seiiU-ni •• what it was to Ire ", that you c.iiibl g i‘ *= tin* answers to qu< -lions just as well without writing them, aud that you could Mop writing, thinking or answering questions, any time you pleased. Then why in tin- name of common sense do you pretend that this exj-eri-.-p.ee fur­nishes “ stronger evidence o f spiritual intercourse than any body else has,” or arty evidence at all ! Do you mean to say if you aro not a medium for Spirits, no other person w 1 and that all the “ strongest evidences o f spiritual intercourse" occurred in your own j.or-on! You say, “ There was a kind of enchantment about it, and I was bound by a spell more potent thmt that by which the son of UJysaas was kept upon CalyjaoV I -le. But thanks to my watchful mentor, I did break away,” etc. 1 d< not know how strong the spell was that hound Ulysses. But really, Doctor, was there any greater enchantment in writing about the legacy, or your philosophy and poetry, than in v< rititijj tha article under review ? W as the spell more potent? I f youi watchful mentor, had helped you to break from this last spell of writing sooner, you would, I think, had just occasion i.ot only t< llmnk your watchful mentor, but to thank G od!

In the DoctorV defense against the implication width will b. suggested to some minds, tliat he was associated with a c.'avs < lying Spirits, he triumphantly asks, “ Does not Satan often tram form himself into an angel o f l i g h t W e l l really, Doctor, i in all my experience I never saw him do it, but have often wished I could. Having heard so much about this gentleman. 1 have, for tire last seven years o f my investigation o f spiritual manifestations, diligently searched for this notorious being, and have never learned tliat he has communicated through any Spirit medium, and there have not, to niy knowledge, anmanv festations occurred which bear nny ire.iror comparison lo his reputed character than vour own state, as you described it during one week, does to that of spiritual mediums; and as you and I, Doctor, judge “ things by their frutfiq” wo must conclude that Satan is waiting until some of his friends give heed to the subject before he communicates. This idea is strengthened by the rule you suggest, that like attracts like.

NOW FOB SO M ETH IN G NEW .Dr. Norton commences what he terms “ a few words, by way

of explanation of the phenomena o f spiritual writing." He says :Being careful to ars'd aay i-i.Wii.-y acts, the willis placed in abey­

ance, aid thus fall play is gives to emotional aid other mental act* It mast be remembered that emotions may have an internal as well a- an o.tierail origiu. Intellections give rise to emotion*, and cmolion*, in their taro, reader the process of thoa gat more rapid and clear. I have no doabt that math of ths writing will come under th: denomina tion of emotional action, and it tniy bo a question whether tte intclicc. <usi operations which precede the writing, do not. in every irut-vac- flueucc the muicles through the medium of emotion?.

That is to say, i f wo will to be passive, the will that will* will bo passive ! But does not “ being careful to avoid any voluntary acts," involve in itself an act o f volition ? It makes no differ­ence whether tho cause for thi* willing be of an interna! or an external character— whether the result of emotions or intellec­tions. In either caso, ire K ill, and are conscious o f trilling. B e ­sides, you say, intellections give rise to emotions. Now, accord­ing to your statement, there can be no emotion without intellec­tion. Thus we see that the intellect acts and gires ri-e to emo­tions ; but can the intellect act unconsciously !

Does not intellection necessarily involve consciousness ? Then how are you going to inako out your unconscious emotional theory I It is simply a contradiction in terms.

But again the L'octor says:I b-g leave, here, to refer my readers to the chapter oa the Kerroa*

System, in the fourth edition of Carpenter's Physiology, u; they will fiiul it reviewed in the July number (for year 1S53> of the British and Foreign Medical Chirological Review, where he takes the ground that there is such a thing as involuntary cerebration, as automatic tire-j I find in Upturn's Mental Philosophy, under the head of •• Drvam.'ng." the following word*: •• A train of conceptions arise in tbe mind, and wear.* not conscious of any direction or control whatever over <hi-m_ They exist whether we will or no<-

Here we have the same idea of involuntary cerebration, although expreeaed in a little different language from that which Carpenter used. Dr. Carpenter, however, go?* still farther, and talcs the ground that cerebration may go oa without either volition or coit-ciou-rac?*. This would seem lo be true with regard to the :omn.imbuli*t. who.-.- actions are doubtless tbe result of cerebration, although he is entirely unconscious of what he is doing. I f be U uuconsoiooa, of course the action must be involuntary ; for there can be no volition without con sciou'iK-ss. The dreamer is conscious of his intellectual operations although he •* possesses no control over them."

Exjtorionco shows tliat everything can not, as a living thought ready lo bo expressed, exist in tho mind or brain, in any one re­lation, state, and instant of time. It also shows that the brain, or mind may act in some staffs and relations of life JiilorontU from what it does in others. B u t in every state and relation oi its action, we are at tho time conscious o f it? action, and there can be no “ involuntary (or unconscious) cerebration as automa­tic thought-’’ Some clairvoyants and Spirit mediums are uncon­scious of what they have said or done while in that peculiar con­dition, after they have resumed the normal state— in other words,

T heius wore deficiencies in the Mosaic institution ; tti<-;.- n-.re intended to I - supplied in tiie institution of t!.o Christian relig­ion. Moses u.d not te-\cb immortality— Itssus did. M*.—.■■»’ idea of God was gross— that of Jam s was refined. Moses (.aid that he sato God— the Jew s o f a later age did not believe it. •• No mao hath seen God at anytim e." Mo* os did not Ul.v-.o that the present life influenced the condition o f the fuluro life, (he was a materialist) ; Jesus, to some extent, supplied the deficiency. Moses’ views of man’s inter-relations, wore circumscribed and im­perfect. Je-us taught much concerning m an^ duty to hi* fellow- creaturos. The trial o f two thousand years io endeavoriog to

liso man to harmony with God, truth and justice, ought to ju s­tify the inference, that it is defective, that it h not the power o f

iod at work with man, that it has become aged, and must soon sleep with its Cithers— tho ancient systems of religion. jy

B a t no system of religion aver departed from the world with­out being succeeded by anew one. Since, therefore, the Chris­tina dispensation is rapidly departing from our c as:.-*, it well to inquire as to the character o f iu succe-ssor. A new aud Let­ter Gospel is being ushered into tbe world; it comes under the seal o f angels, and with the witues* o f countless millions o f Spirits 1 The great system of religion now brought lo light, docs not purport to Lave been feund in ana- temple of* human art, by any man, as tho hook o f td o s a was found by Qilkiali. It does not come under the authority o f any man’s hand. Nav_ it comes with tho signature o f Angels! And th at wliith ad Js weight to iU claim, i* its harmony with th-.- welt-dig- - ted thoughts and intuitive perception* of the fir*t minds o f the age in which ,t is given. Its distinguishing feature i* in the f a c t that its ap­peals for supporting evidence, ar- to i-o't/.e. rrareol an .1 intuition. The appeals o f all other systems o f religion are to traditional > r recorded m iracles, and to the mere assertions o f man. Othersystems drat - <?a m in’s credulity this (lutnind* itself to Lbreason. Ma i* not to t*e meal lly ens aved, for Angels haveasserted his n diridu ality . 1 1 .* can now •rcaiho the atioocphereof freedom ; hi* birthright is rcstored. vix liberty o f cooadcoce,of thought. /■■I o f ape ch * lb, how th e h* art expands withgratitude to t*o l and hi* messengvj , for st ch • glorious gi"peL”

B u t let us proceed to show who rein il i* preferable to the >>>-tern » f Christianity.

J. It demonstrates the existence of Deity Through it.* means atheists are restored to tluir Father.

2. Its teachings concerning the Divine .attributes would sewn -onsiatani with nature, reason, and intuition, and are calculated to ■xpaod the mind in lieu of contracting it, and are an honor t<>

the angelic kingdom from whoso authority they cam*-e. I l* philosojihy o f man’s duty to God au*l to hi- fellow-King*

is truly worthy o f the source from whence it professes to etna-

■t. It demonstmtcH immortality. Tha skeptic c m now coma to the temple o f God, and enjoy a fe ist of eternal progress in tho spheres uf virtue aud wisdom.

When 1 see an egg and examine it* contents, nml tlud that another of the some kind by culinary heat resolves itself mainly into a chick.

I have intuitive evidence that egg* severally productive of these oi analogous results, must have been contrived for tho purpose by o com­mensurate Intellectual power, as well as all other eggs producing analogous results. This 1 call mental view. *

The meaning which you attach lo the word intuituo, prevails more generally than I was heretofore aware of. There is, in many ©a«cs, more than one moaning in which a word is understood ; but when coupled with the word “ evidence” H set ms lo mo that the senso in which you receive it can not bo consistent, os no idea of the mind not founded on facts susceptible of perception by others as well as tho narrator, can be evidence. You will perceive that your misapprehen­sion of my meaning in u*ing tho word intuitive, has givou rise, on your part, to many inapplicable remark* or arguments.

My meaning has not been conveyed to you by tho language employed by mo, when alleging the Deity and Universe to have existed from

I do not mean that the creation existed always as it now is, bat that matter and mind existed, which were necessary' to its present as well as past cxlsteoce. Within our extremely limited sphere of observation wo see growth and improvement; we see. in other words, that progres.'ioa on which the Spirit* lay to much stress. It i« to mind only, as I think, that the evident rationality or adaptation of things can b j a=cribed. and the unity nnd harmony of the whole causes me to at­tribute that whole to one governing mind. Y et while governing or legislating, that mind can not consistently violate its own laws, nor. being wise and just, act inconsistently with its own wisdom and justice.

Although ihe Deity can be no other than what he is, does that lessen the appreciation of his preeminent attributes:

The observation of the ancient philosopher, B ias must appear appro­priate to every one who enters upon this subject. The more I consider tho nature of God, the more obscure his nature appears. But while on the side of Deism, we have a mystery beyond the powers of the human mind, on that of Atheism we have a hopeless and self-evident ab.-nrdiiy of ascribing rational elicet? to nihility.

There is so great a difference in our impressions respecting the nature or origin of nutter, that I presume di^ensdoa will not produce agree-

opportunity o f conversing on this sub- other. Yours. EOBEIIT U.VltE.

The family physician, Dr. S. reputable and scientific doctor o f the old school, of some fifteen years practice, wa? sent for. with all practicable haste. The neighbor# were called in : none o f them could perceive any sign of life.

This strange phenomenon came over him, at short intorvnlg, four tlm>-> during the night; hut the second was charict-.rized hy the moat remark­able mental und spiritual experiences*. At this time it was nearly three hours before he revived, and, when he did. lifting hi# bauds and clapping them together, lo the great suipri«e of all present, lie said, with a voice so clear and strong that it could be heard several rod* from the house, *• Blew the Lord for the glorion* resurrection.” These were bi* first words. lie then shouted, *' Glory to God on high'” though he was not in the habit of shouting. He said many tiling, very remark­able, of which the family and friend* retain hut an indistinct remem­brance. The Scripture-' in particular seemed to be perfectly familiar to him, and, with wonderful uptnos.*, ho repeated passage after passage, in- terepcrslng them with praises to God.

It appeared to him, during the time o f bis bodily insensibility, that be had been for a moment unconscious, and then the faculties of his mind became cl-.-ur and strong. While he l»y there, and they siippo-xtl he wav dead, he was,perfectly contciou* of all that pawed around him- l i e thought him^.If separated from the body, but near It, and .-xpected never to return Ih e excellent glory iu part broke upon hi* view.

They ap­peared to be ascending a vast even slope, end, ns far n* tho eye could reach, the company wa* unbroken, and till iudcFcribably happy.

During thi* time of suspended uni nut Ion, there wan a clcurnc's and brilliancy of bis mind beyond anything bo bad ever imagined. It was, he #ajs, not faith but sight—a Lb »-d reality. For a little time after reviving, hi* mind wa* el'-ar, and hi# ecstasies unbounded, but, a* bis strength increased, bi* body act'd a* a ring and shade to hi* mind.

T R U T H VS. E R R O RS p ir it u a l is m hitvo great reason to dcploro the want <>( com ­

mon honesty an.I oven-hnnded justice on the port of their oppo­nent*, when tho subject o f Spiritualism is under discus-i»n. The Press, with a few honorable exceptions, has in numberless in­stances shown its lack o f charity and fair dealing in this respect O f tlm thousands o f woll-attested proof* o f Spirit intercourse which have appeared in the spiritual paper*, how few have been copied by the secular journals ? Tf noticed at all, the plainest statements have been garbled and disjointed, tho facts misrepre­sented, and tho whole m atter made a subject o f derision and abuse. Rut, when some poor unfortunate fellow gels inlo a difficulty or commits a crime, and it be shown that he owns a .pirilual pamphlet, or ha* ever attended a spiritual meeting,

p r e s t o / tho whole pack aro at his heels, and tho affair is chroni­cled in every part o f tho Innd, under tho caption o f “ Another Victim to the Rappers,” or “ Horrid Effects o f Spiritualism .” As well m ight tho memory o f good old D r. W atts be desecrated, from tho fact that a collection o f liis Print in* and Hymns wa* found in tho trunk o f Gibbs tho Pirate, or because Madam R es­ted used to sing, “ W hen I can road m y title clear,” when she was a little girl.

I feel willing, in common with nil candid Spiritualist*, lo le our faith stand on its own intrinsic merits, ff it can not stand on these, let it fall. Wo have no desiro to bolster it up with the •rutches o f deception or equivocation. I f it can not walk with­

out these, let it creep on all fours till it gathers strength enough to go nlone.

Som e time since nn article appeared in the M ed ica l G azette o f this city, evidently from the p en o f its editor, which purported to give an account o f tho late attem pt o f tho Davenport boys to produce the Spirit hand, and their consequent detection posure. The whole statement was but a series o f misrepresenta­tions and deliberate falsehoods, manufactured by the editor or his inform ant, merely to lassie, furbelow, and make ridiculous » simple, naked truth— the detection and exposure o f the fraud. The article assorts that the “ Spirit hand” ln*l often b. posed on tho Spiritualists, and th at they greedily swallowed the deception, and m ight never have been undeceived had it not been for tho superior acumen of an outsider— a skeptic— who alone was sm art enough to see through and detect the cheat. I f this misstatement lift! been confined to the G azette I never should have noticed it, but when I saw it copied into the T r i­bune, T im es , and other popular papers o f this city, nnd from them transferred into other journals throughout llm country, ac­companied with sundry editorial sneers and insinuations touch­ing tho gullibility nnd insane credulity o f Spiritualists, 1 felt a strong desire to chase tho lie, nnd if possible catch and wring its neck. To this end I wrote the following L-tler to the T r i­bune, which that paper, in the very teeth o f its boasted love of truth and justice refused to publish. T o admit n correction of iU published errors would be to confess iu fa l l ib i l i t y , nnd tin* T rib u n e would be thought in fa llib le .Editor X. Y. T ribune :

Not only are the statements in the article oa •• Spiritualism.” recently copied by you from the Medical Gazette, essentially erroneous, but your editorial introduction to the S3tne is equally untrue. You say, "T he editor of the M olical Gazette exposes a trick of Spiritualism which be witnessed and exposed lately.”

Now, sir, the editor in question never attended a circle of the Daven­port*. and consequently could not very well witness nnd expose what ho had never seen.

Of the dozen misstatements of the Gazette. I will attempt to correct only one, which declares that while tho faithful (i. e. SpirilunliaU) wen- in extaoles on tho appearance of Ihe " Spirit baud," a ikeptic turned on the light and succeeded in detecting and exposing tho fraud.

I f this were true, the Gazette might be justified iu his insinuations that the Spiritualists present were so green and gullible as to swallow the imposition without qaestioa, and that only the "skeptic” bad yumptiun enough to detect the fraud, and houcsty enough to expose it.

Now the ficts arc, that tho Davenport hoys’ first and only attempt l> »how the “ Spirit hand” was on Tuesday luurniug, January 8 lh, boforo a company of fou r Spiritualists (not ,a “ bind of tho faithful nnd a fen' skeptics” ns tho Gazette says).

When the “ hand” uppearod there wa* no " ccstacy ” hut on the cont­rary, tho fraud was so palpable that sorrow, a little tinged with anger, was the dominant feeling, unil thi* not so much from di-appointni'-nt a* from regret that two boy# should so far disgrace themselves and their parent* a* to attempt such a deception. A* I was the person who turned on the gas nnd scoured the glove, I ln*g leave to disclaim being a •*skeptic.” On Ihe contrary, I wa* then and ninnow » bellcvor,"one of the fuitbful,” and, wilh all due respect to the Gazette man, cun tell " a hawk from a handsaw,” or a Spirit I.mid from ii utufied glove u# readily a* most men, w hether believers or unbelievers.

That evening I made a public statement of the affair at a meeting of Spiritualists, iu Stuyverant Institute. On the day following, Mr. Charles Partridge, of the Tvi.i:onini, published the main lacts in the Trihum-, nud ou the next we*-k I furnished ft detailed ac'-uiut of tbn affair to Mr. Partridge, which hu published In his paper.

Now-, sir, these art the simple fuel*, and 1 submit whether such a ur*«- implies that Spiriliialists arc incapable o f deketiug imposition

in spiritual matters., or dishonest mough to withhold the truth when th, fraud hu* been detected. joun v. colka

hole subjectit can not Is: ilcnifd that (he physical manifestations have done ab_

solutcly all toward tho building o f the spiritual temple ; nml without them we could not bou-d and] feel proud of the gigantic pillar* which su-iain it— I Incan the attraction o f minds, euch a* have been noted for their scholastic nod scientific attainments Those who, during a long life of study, lmvc advanced the world’s knowledge, ood opened the mind* of many to the reception of truth—mind* who long ngo hail out­grown the Theology of the past, and rejected it a* inadequate to the

ant* of man—mind* who could not have been induced to yield to the- claim* o f Spiritualism except by the mmt positive evidence o f It* truth.

At u* first learn the A B C'*, before attempting to read, and when arc old.- to do so, it i* not policy, to say tbo least of it, to destroy primer and spidliag-l>ook from which we have learned, for if we

have gone through Hie primer and spelling-book (oa many have) and arc not good reader#, I know of no better plun than to go hack and leant over the #amo lesson*; for it is evident something ha* been omitted. Don't destroy the Alphabet o f Spiritualism, for it is the only -.ure rond to a knowledge of its mighty truths j arid I would tay to professing Spiritualist ) who are constantly doubting: Go back to the physical m.iuiferitations and learn tho Elements of the science; hove them thoroughly imprinted on your mind, and the evidences which they will bring, and \jo\i can not doubt.

There urc tunny example* which might be cited In proof of what 1 here contend for in regard towtho kind of cvjdenco necessary to make Spiritualist* ; but I will only refer to one. Take the case of Dr. Dod.-.

■idcntly 1ms been a medium for more than forty years, i. e., seeing and impres -ional medium—-one o f the interior mediums : yet. aftc all the wonderful thing* which have occurred to him and which lie himself related, he could fiud no other solution than a psychologized brain; and after-writing a book to account for all tho Spiritualism he had seen, was only convinced when his “ physical body, together with a chair, was suspended three or four inebt-s from the floor, amid the con- rtnnt rapping* of the Spirit*, and in the presence of a good witness.” Th? world want* physical demonstrations of the immortality o f the soul, and will never be convinced without them ; and I will here offer a suggestion :

Lot some party engage several of the best physical and otlu-r medi­ums in your city, to meet at Stuyvcsant Institute, one night in every week, to sit on the platform for manifestations and demonstrations of Spirit power. Keep » record o f what transpire*, and by publishing it to the world, it wi:l do more (in my opinion), both _in and out of the city, than anything which is now done, to attract attention. Besides, it will bring together medium?, and unite them in the great cause of truth. It would be a good plan, also, to have such tests as are con­stantly occurring through the different mediums, published for the benefit o f “ outsiders,” who would be anxious to become •• insiders,’ ’ whenever they had an opportunity to visit the city. I think it fair to infer also that by such a plan the manifestations would be correspond­ingly great, from the fact that three or four mediums for the same kind o f raaaif. station would give the Spirits great advantages.

I have spent eight week# in your city Intoly, nud find there is much of interest that can not be expected to appear in the T elegra ph . I havo seen nnd hoard enough to convince a nation o f unbelieviog Thom­ases, of tho truth o f Spirit communion ; and I deem it a duty as well

pleasure, in (his connection, to state that (he best tests and com­munications I received, were through Miss Seabring. who I think is one of the best mediums in the world; and I cheerfully recommend her to the consideration of persona investigating this mutter: h. rooms are -177.Broadway. Therefore, let us "keep i t before the people, that the immortality of the soul is demonstrable on the best evidence under heaven, nnd also where the evidence may be found. Public mediums aro tbc proper ones, and should lie sustained when honest and fathfal. They arc the chosen of God, through whom his messen­gers send pence and good will to men. Destroy physical manifesta­tions, and Spiritualism is no more than any other i«n—a faith without evidence—a fire that, for want of fuel, must of necessity burn out.

great work of tho day. tbnt our friend* may know that we ore alive, I d you thi* for the Teleubapu. 1 reached Rockford about the 10th

of January, and finding the Court-houso engaged, held two meetings four miles routh of Rockford. They were well attended, and two per­son* were entranced who hud never attended our circles, as I understood. 1 then returned to Rotkford, and attended circles and meetings tor two d-iys, and wa* con<ciou* o f spiritual aid and Spirit presence in all our

• ting*. Rockford ha* many believers, and some practical Spiritual­ist?. 1 was kindly <-i»t-:rUinod by I>r. Iia/kcll; Dr. Rudd and many other# seemed glad to *ee me. Three day* ago I visited tho pluco wilh my wife and Abby Warner, the mediant, (who lives with u») nnd many for ihe first time, heard'tho raps.

From Ilockford I went to Unwnrd, in tho same county, and labored, er four weeks, giving in the mean lime it course of lectures on Mes- orbm and Psychology. Several person* whom I magnetized, aud who

became clairvoyant, Hie Spirits took from mo, and I could no more g--t the control of them. Two of them spoke the Indian tongue in th-; en­tranced f-tate before I left. I have been a mesroerizer fur twenty-two

i or more, but never knew of subject* being token from an oper­ator in this manner until ol lute, and since Spiritualism has manifested itself. When entranced by Spirit*, they became healing medium* and clairvoyant examiner# nud proscribers.

Among the Incidents worthy of note is th i*: Near where I wa* labor­ing, was being held a protracted meeting by the Methodist*. They as­certained that I would leave oa Monday,and they announced oa Sunday that on Tu -day, at 1 o'clock, Mr. Fletcher would give a sermon on buldiug communications with familiar Spirits. I was present and gave notice that at on<- o'clock ih.itday, I would give'adiscourse on that»«b- jrc t at tho Clark school-house, two miles from that pi icc. 1 bad a full house, nud there gave notice that at J3 o'clock I would reply to .Mr_ Fletcher, und urged tny friend* to attend.
