the building is to be altogether larger

the principal front with wings, is about
300 feet long. The building although
near mile from the river, will be
plainly visible. owing to the elevated

Sp1RrrUALlsM.-Some of our CITY
contemporaries are given, lately, to the
discussion Of Spiritual matters, and
their columns are open for the pro and
can, on this--to say the least of it
interesting subject.
Mondays Delta Of the 9Th inst, has
an interesting communication, signel
"a. Layman,' in which sermon on
spiritual manifestations, by the Rev.
Jerome Twichel, and Discourse BY
the Rev Theodore Clapp, in which he
treats iucidently of the same subject,
are reviewed in an able manner. In
reference to spiritual manifestations,
there are many facts, only arrived at,
by the light of intelligence directed to
their study and it would seem to be
the desire Of many learned persons in
the land, who are acquainted with the
facts, to put an end to their invcstiga-
ton
Why issue bulls, ard edicts, agaig..
tho.e who love truth for its own sake,
and engage :beir lives in its persuits =?
Is it possible for any evel to result
from truth ? Need the true faith tre,n-
BE at it? We think not. Many
carned Clergymen have hurled from
he pulpit their denunciations against I
spiritual manifestations" but they |
amount to nothing. Truth is truth,
Notwithstanding; and in the progress
If mind and matter, other revelations
md other Developments will be made,
he light of which the world must be
prepared to look on.
A favoritc plan of combating truth,
md closing the doors to scientific in
'estigation, is to say, when any i'm
,ortant law of nature is discovered,
hat sit is not now-the same priuci-
'al was known years ago" Tho ma
ipulations Of Mesmer. are thus attrib-
ted to Eastern Magicians, and now
he Rev. Mr.. Twichel, says there is
othing new in Spiritual manifesto
Ions.' So it was in reference to Ba.
el. When Mr.. Amos Rich went
here, and brought home one of the
bricks" every body hooted at the
lea of "brick" from Babel, and now
nat the startling revelations laid bare

The only reason why we do not re-

is on account Of its length. And here
