The State of the Nation.

Mr.. CoRw1Ns truth-telling and lucid Re-
port on the National Finances is now fairly
before the country. If it could only be read
with candid attention by our whole voting
population, we believe it would suffice of
itself to secure beneficent change in our
National Policy. But how many Of our
Three Millions of Voters really study and
take to heart those great topics of National
concern which their votes are annually and
vitality affecting This Report and the
tables accompanying it embody more facts
which should enter into and modify the
National Policy than were ever before
presented in a space equally limited. No
man can vote inteligently, safely, at the
approaching elections for Members of Con-
gress and President who has not made him
relf master of these facts, whatever he may
choose to think ofthe Secretary's deductions
therefrom. And yet, how large share of
ourvoters will never read them at all How
many will barely skim over the more prom
inent statistics while smoking cigar, and
speedily dismiss them from their remem-
brance And-alas that it should be so
what vast majority of those who don't
read and rcon't think will vote dead against
the Secretary's warnings and recommended
tons, not because they believe them un-
sound or mistaken, but because they are
told that it is Democratic and reg
ular' to do so just think of the Five
Points and Corlaer's Hook setting in judg-
ment on the differing theories of Sec
retaries Walker and Corwin, and what
abominable majorities they are certain
to roll up for the former Whether
there be or be not any natural
and necessary affinity between them, it
is certain that those who obtain their live
ihood from the practitioners of free gam
bling, free drinking and free debauchery do
give the great bulk of their votes for what
is so speciously termed Free Trade Their
vocations do not Immediately, palpably
suffer much from the competition of SINH
lar establishments in Europe; and they are
not addicted to forecasting calculations.
OF all the votes cast in this City by men
who would rather not tell how they make
their living, nine-tenths are thrown steadily
against the doctrines of Secretary Corwin's
Report and the candidates who uphold
them. And it is much the same every
where, If every man had an honest, use
full calling and earned his living by it, we
should have an efficient Protective Tariff
)orthwith and consequent and lasting in
crease of the general demand for and re-
ward of Labor throughout the country

A.-{es: the Human Race have become more
refined and susceptible Ito Impressions from the
Spirit World than formerly.
IL was mere casually stated BY some one pres-
ent that Dir. c had stated, on former occasion.
that Idiots have no immortal existence Tba
present querist demurred to this, and asksdl
Q-Do children, who die in conscious infancy
live in the Future State
A.-The moment an infant has been usbere8
into the world, an individuality has been formed,
which continues to exist, provided the physical
constitution was perfec.ed-not otherwise.
Q.-Then why DO not animals also have an I'M
mortal existence
A-Man has Z peculiar formation, which AMI
mails have not To all who have that formation,
Soul adhercs-not to others.
Q.-Can Mr.. C. give US any idea of bis present
locality in space-wbetber it is on any particular
planet, or around this earth
Human spirits love to hover around this
earth bat they are not confined tot.
Q.-Do those born on the several planets usual
ly remain each or that which was his birthplace
Answer not taken down but believed % have
been Affirmative
Q-Are the planets visible to Mr.. c.
A-Yes.
Q-Does Mr. c. see this outer, material earth
Does he see it as we do, with our material eyes
A--He perceiyes the earth as highly material
body.
The above Is all that we noted down,
though few other questions were asked
and answered, which were not noted at the
time. On another occasion, it was stated,
in reply 10 question. that all created ex-
istences are firstelothed in material bodies,
passing thence into purer and more spirit
nal forms. and that The inhabitants of the
higher planets like Saturn, pass through
change from the material to the purely
spiritual state equivalent toour Death, but
one unattended by pain and whichis desir-
ed. not dreaded.
