SwEDENBoRG on THE SPIRITs I'm Bush
New Church Repository We find the following
authoritative testimony from Swedenborg, as to
the value Of z Spiritual Communica ations Z we
hope that those who put faith in Z manifesta-
tions." as being the veritable work Of spirits,
will listen to the very chiefest Of mediums, as
to the reliance to be placed upon their reyela-
tions
1 { That spirits relate things erceediagIy fe-
titsous, and 1ie.-When spirits begin to speak
with man, he must beware lest he believe chem
in any thing for they say almost any thing
things are Fabricated by them; and they Lis /;
for if they were permitted to relate what heaven
is, and how things are in heaven, they would
tell 30 many lies, and indeed, with solemn affir-
nation, that men would be astonished where
fore, when spirits were talking, was not per-
mitted to have faith in the things which they
related, For they are extremely fond of fabri-
eating; and whenever any subject Of converse
tion isl proposed they think they know ii, and
give their opinions in one way or another, alto
gether as if they knew and if man listens,
and believes, they press on. and deceive and sel
duce in divers ways for example, if they we're
permitted to tell about things to come, about
things unknown in the universal heaven, about
all things that whatsoever that man desires
[they would tell all the things falsely, while
from themselves; wherefore let men beware lest
they believe them. On this account, the state
Of speaking with spirits on earth is most peri.
lous, unless one is in true faith They induce
so strong persuasion that it is the Lord him
self who is speaking, and who commands, that
man cannot but obey and believe them

Elder P, who whilom preaching in GER

his queer phrases and very odd comparisons,
that it finally behooved the '' deacon to re.

A poor beggar in Paris being very hungry
stayed so long in cook shop, that was dishing
up meat, till his stomach was satisfied with only
the smell thereof. The choleric covetous cook
demanded of him to pay for his breakfast. The
poor man denied it and the controversy was re-
ferred to the deciding of the next man that
should pass by, who chanced to be the most no.
torious idiot in the whole city. He, on the re-
lation of the matter, determined that the poor
mans money should be put betwixt two empty
dishes, and the cook should be recompensed with
the jingling of the poor mans money, as he
was satisfied with only the smell Of the cooks
meat. And this is affirmed by credible writers
as no fable, but an undoubted fact Gas

The Clergy VS.. the Nebraska Bill.

WASHINGTON, April b, loo4'
Judge Douglas has wrlcn IA long letter OF eiSh'
| columns in the Sentinel, IN reply to the reseiu-
tons Of a meeting of twenty five clergymen at
Chicago, and in defence OF his course in debate I'D
the Senate on the protest Of the New England
cIergymen against the repeal OF the Missouri COM
| promise.
Mr.. Douglas reraverses the ground pursued by
him in debate at the time the protest was present
ed in the Senate, and renews The charge that the
protest outrage upon the privileges OF a
/ large BODY of citizens. He quotes portion OF his
remarks made in opposition 10 the protest. and
contends that the principle in the Nebraska bill is
| Identical with the resolutions OF the meeting at
Chicago, and involves only the right OF The people
| IN the States to frame their own government. He
also contends that the transfer Of slaves from Ken
lucky to Nebraska would be benefit to the slaves,
and not alter the political compleXion-that ii
would be simply reducing it in State, where
the land is exhausted, and increasing it in others
where it is rich; denies that clergyman, such,
have right TO interfere in all matters embracing
! moral and religious truth; and ntimates that a
recognition OF such power would prove subver-
sIve of the principles of free government, and
destructive Of all the guarantees of civil and reli
gous liberty. The sovereign right OF the people
to manage their own affairs, in conformity with
the constitution OF their own making, recedes and
disappears, he says, when placed in subordInaon
virtue of their Office ministers, to be dVnely
appointed institution for the declaration and en-.
forcement Of Gods will on earth
The judge further argues, that it is necessary
to annul the eighth section Of the Missouri COM
promise as inlmical to free government, and denies
that the proposal to do So IS breach of faith
The principles Of the Nebraska bill, he saws, is
purely a question of selcgovernment, involving
the right and capacity of the people to manage
their own local and domestic concerns. This is
the only coniroVerted principle involved in the BILL
He says: Il am unwilling to believe that, upon
mature reflection, and with all the advantages which
your Christian character and experience may en-
able you 10 summon TO your assistance, you will
sanction the declaration hat proposition to carry
this principle into effect is great moral wrong
exposing US to the righteous judgments of the Al
mighty"
The letter is argumentative rather than Genun-
cIatory, and is mlIdcr than might have been ex-
pected from lis source bnt stiI upon some points,
it is tart and sarcastic. The letter is clearly de.
signed as fall vindication of his character and
covers all Of his positions in regard TO his opposi
ton to the protest of The New England cleIgymen
1t shows much care in its preparation, and when
published, it will be on Tuesday, it will be read
with much interest by the foes well as by the
friends of Judge Douglas and his Nebraska bill.

The Southern Literary Messenger.

A friend has laid upon table the ApriI No.
of this sterling monthly. No serial in the United
States has more uniformly maintained itself, both
with respect to the dignity OF its criticisms, and
the tloquerca and value of its literature. 1t
spreads literary tabIe--a feast of intellectual
which all may sit down, and all tastes may be
promptly gra,iGed. The pueriIe love stories, nau-
sealing rhyme and mnurnu trash which form the
staple of so large portion Of The periodical era-
ture of the day, never defAce its pages.
The Southern people owe it to themselves TO
patronze their periodicals. The North has
enjoyed The monopoly Of literary productions, or
OF publication at least, too long. Reader, are
you among those who have sent their one, two,
or three dollars to the New York or PIiIadelphi
publisher 10 receive in return his weekly or
monthly, TO which, perhaps, Mrs. Stowe and
others of that nix are fee-ed contributors, while
your own weekes and monlhes are giving up
the ghost, or at best leading prccarious exist
ence, in default of the one thing needfu?
We do not speak thus with a view of drawing
invidous distinctions between sections Ct our
common country, but because it is high time the
South was looking to this matter; most of all, at
this lunciure W hen its enemies are employing
literature their most potent weapon of attack.
The Messenger is published at So per annum
