munity by supers,tious and corrupt associ-
ates. The Western Reserve has long been
known rs n stronghold Ct ultra aboliion-
ism, and the seed that has been cast abroad
is bringing forth its fruit. 1t is only few
DAYS since n mob assembled and forciby
entered and sacked the Homeopathic Col
lcge in that city, breaking in doors, domol-
isbng windows, and iractuing furniture,
requiring n military force to quel the riot.
1t is now the field Of labor of sect of spir-
itual rappers headed by one JOEL TIFFANY,
which recently met in convention Tor the
purpose of concerning measures 10 spread
abroad upon the earth the light and knowl-
edge transmitted by the spirits through their
agents. the mediums some fifty or more Of
whom nre now transacting business at that
point. The proceedings Of the Convention
are published in the Herald, and show
state of moral depraviiy only equaled by
the pericctionsts of our own enlightened
State, or perhaps by The Mormons oil Utah.
We make few extracts from the rcporte ed
proceedings, just TO give our readers some
idea of The sayings aud doings of that illus
trious body. Mr.. DATUs KELLEY, who
was called to the Chair, opened with a few
remarks, from which we clip the following
sensible ideas;
There too are some communications
which are coniradicting. How is this to be
reconciled ?-Now the philosophy of these
spiritual manifestations is similar 10 ehe e.
ectric Telegraph. 1t must be in order or
we get no correct communications. II a
communication to be sent by telegraph is
defective and written badly, the person to
whom it is sent will not receive it in the cor
rect manner you intended. Ii there is a
thunder Storm all is disturbed, and no COM
municaion can he sent correctly. Now co
we believe that no true communication can
be sent by telegraph, because portion have
been wrong? The Spiritual communica
ton is like the telegraph, only that il is a
mental telegraph
Mr.. TirFASY stated the objects of the
Convention
The object of the convention was for the
mediums Of the different parts of the coun-
try 10 come together and compare noIes
The direction given by the invlsibles is this,
that the mediums shall come together this
afternoon, and ascertain if there is any key
or clue by which these communication,
could be explained and reconciled. None
will be admitted but spiritualhs and medi-
ums, and if any Of the He1thtn should come
the spirits have promised to rap them out
naI;.,s ,ho,' viii emo Ills afternoon ,Lex
will give them demonstf atoms which vii
forever put an end TO any doubts that may
exs: in their minds. We wan, it under
stood that none but the members Of The
church will be present, and if they CONT
that are not members they must not be Of
Tended il they are knocked out.
