ANOTHER LETTER FROM DR. HATCH ON SPIRIT
UALIsM We have received a second letter from
DIR. Hatch, on '',he moral, social aud religious
pect of spiritualism;" but ii contains no facts.
Ii is mere essay OIL the doctrines Of the new
sect, on which we have had letters and articles,
lectures, and pamphlets, and books ad naassam.
There is nothing new in this writer's secoud let
ter-nOt even much as was contained in his
first, of which it is almost repetition, but much
longer. and, therefore, 40 much the worse. The
letter would be entirely too long for our readers
He cassifies spiritnalsts into two great divi-
sions: first, those Christians who believe in the
existence ofspritual communications but regard
them as unreliable, Internal, diabolical and cal
culated to lead mankind astray; second, those
who comprise three.fourths of the Sect and Call
themselves "Ilarmonialists," who say that
all spiritual manifestations are from God,
and are designed to teach his errng
children and prepare them for heaven-that
the Bible is very good book in its way, and
suited for the ignorant, but falls short of the
higher law of "harmonial philosophy" which
is step in advance in the order of man s endless
progress"
But it is on the subject of marriage that Dr..
Hatch spreads himself Some of the spiritual
ists he says, believe in the sacredness of the
| marriage tie, and hold that it is only in pairs
men and women ought to be united in wedlock,
while others contend that sexual intercourse
| ought to be regulated by "afinity''-that is, by
| mutual liking and apttude-so that it matters
not whether the parties are single, or already
married and have mistaken their "ailipties,"
they are at liberty to try others till they are
satisfied at last DR.. Hatch says this leads to
promiscuous intercourse and prostitution OF
course it does; and the public long since
knew it. DR.. Hatch is suddenly virtuous in
his indignation against the immortality and
social danger of the system. But the Doctor
deals only in generalties. He promises facts in
his first letter, but gives none in his second; but
again promises revelations hereafter, yet with
reservation and condition. He says If by the
time have finished these letters the public
think have not succeeded lin exposing the fall
lacies and evils of spiritualsm) will try again"
So we are menaced with second series of the
Doctors epistles; but even then we are not to be
too sure about getting any facts for he concludes,
"My failure, most certainly, will not be for the
want of facts, or matter but from fear of too
greatly outragng the public sense of decency."
We cannot publish the Doctors letter.

together logically can doubt the result in that
sovereign tribunal. Its discussion cannot be de-
laycd, Its elucdation cannot be stopped its early
triumph cannot be cut off to enable political
tricEsrers and fanatics to divide the country in
discord on the Niger that they may enjoy lii
tie while longer the spoils of place and the
sweets Of power Let them beware how they
dare to trife with the nations progress,
and to carp and cavil at its grandeur, because
their petty souls have not been able to con-
ceive its mighty proportions, or their shrunken
hearts to experience its heroic emotions. When
the nation was still weak, their fathers dared to
look its future in the face, fearless of conse-
quences. Let not degenerate sons dare to brave
peoples indignation because they shrink from
following the path their fathers laid out for their
country.

THE WAY THE TAX LEVY IS INCREASED
When Mr.. Flagg sent in the tax levy for 1859 to
the late Common Council, showing reduction
from that of last year OF $7sO,745 A, we said
that this reduction was only apparent, and
should not be taken for granted, as the new
Boards of the Common Council would be GER
tain to swell the amount considerably when they
came to amend it.
The tax levy for 1858 was $500, 900 70, and
on the 2lst of December last Mr.. Flagg report
ed to The late Board of Councilmen as the tax
levy for 1859 the sum of S7,s4O,l74 %. At a
subsequent meeting the Finance Committee of
the late Board of Councilmen, to whom it was
referred, presented the following amendments
reducing only one item, that OF the fire and
police telegraph, from $4,000 to $1,000

Board added the amount of S213,6S3 OF, thus
making total increase of $595,lsO 81. In this
form it was sent to the new Board of Aldermen,
with an increase of half million tackled on.
That body took it in hand almost at their first
meeting, and during the three succeeding ses-
sions amended it still further, as follows. On
