The spiritualists0 In Tight Place
At the last conference Of believers" held in
Temperance Hall on Friday night, several things
which are worthy Of public mention occurred
The field of discussion is open to any one who de-
sires to seek after truth, and the skeptic is afforded
an opportunity either to make set speech or TO
PROFOUND inquiries. Investigation" is the motto
and Governor Talmadge presfdes with becoming
dignity over the meeting. So far by way of intro
duction.
Looking in upon the conference between nine
and ten o'clock on the aforesaid Friday night, we
found DIR. Clayton, of Virginia, on the floor, reply
ing to the spiritual vagares of Dr. Cragin, OF
Georgetown and in calm, respectful manner
overturning, not the tables, but of the absur
dites advanced. He said, in substance among
other things, 81 believe, Mr. Chairman that you
and others are honest in what you say have no
reason to believe that you would wifully practise
deception but why do not see these mani
festations TO which you allu,1e? In the absence
Of these, we must take them secondhand Why
do we not have The iable-tippings, the rafpings
the writings, and other developments here, IL
pV kc? People generally have high apprecia
neS their own WIsuOul, anu tncTciorc are re-
lnctant to believe such extraordinary feats with
out the ocular or acoustic proofs"
DR.. Cragin, in his reply, said that persons who
want to have such evidence must form private
circles, with an earnest desire to investigate the
truth. Following this course, he had no doubt
that they would see as wonderful sights and hear
as strange sounds as he had seen and heard
Doctofs aciA disagree all the world over
Just at this point, the young man, whose name
we could not learn, but who, on former occasion.
was too modest TO tell his age, although he pre-
tended in his harangues to speak in that same
hall as the medium Of Lord Byron and Daniel
Webster, arose to put an extinguisher on Dr.
Clayton whom he accused Of ignorance on the
subject under review "Does not the gentleman
know" said the modest youth, with apparen,
sanctity, acting meanwhile as medium of .
spirit, that the spirits will not appear in a pro
miscuous assembly, composed OF persons not two
Of whom think akea Does he not know that !
sphere must first be created congenal TO the
spirits before he can have the desired manifesto
tons?n And so on.
The Rev. d. M. Reese, who was sitting in the
room, said, by permission: Il understand thai
young man processes to DO speaking medium
Is that so" He isn replied Mr.. Tallmadge
Washington sentinel., 1854-05-07

gravely. "Thenp continued Mr.. Reese, how is
ii, if spirits do not operate in promiscuous as.
semblies, that the spirits select him TO speak for
them herea" This was home question,
Mr. Talmadge said he could not tell, but had
no doubt they would learn more about il, by and
BY He might be asked why glass is non-con-
ductor He could moi tell Many things strange
could not be accounted for. And the gentleman
proceeded TO detail some wonderful facts in his
experience, including the feat OF the spirit of John
c. Calhoun writing message to Mr.. Talmadge
with pencil on piece of paper which the last
named gentleman had, by direction, put under
table He even heard the scratching sound
caused by the act of writing
While these things were going on, band of
music in the vicinity of the hall was playing that
classical air Of " Susannah, don't you cry"
