SECESSION OF A, SPIGITrAILsT.--The Sprngheid
Rspublcon, in an article upon manifestations |
and phenomena" says:
"Perhaps the most serious blow that spiritual
ism has received, is the detection Of Rev. y j.
Harris lately the inspired poet Of the new move
ment in this country, now SHedenborgian min
ister at the present lecturing against spiriualsm
in England. He does not deny the fact Of pos.
ssession by spirits, but thinks they are spirits Of
low order both in intellect and virtue; that
thev are the same class with the demons spoken
Of in the New Testament, and they pass Them
selves for the spirits Of the friends of those con-
sulting them, or Of distinguished men, in order
the better to deceive and accomplish their de-
structive purposes The effect Of thispossession,
Mr. Harris says he has felt in his own mind and
person, and he describes it as most fearful
UaIV u lew Years ago ~ itiu SdIA HoiA 70 49,
that it gave fixed rigidity to his muscles. and
| .tcrribIe unearthly expression TO his counten-
anee He had known many excellent and anna
BILE persons under this influence to have their
energies crushed, lose their appettes, be depriv-
ed Of Sleep find their selfcontrOl destroyed, and
| their bodies wasting away and their minds en-
! feeblsd, as If under some fell disease"
That is no secession. II is only difference Of
opinion ebout spirits.
| LETTER FROM PIKE's PEAK.--The following
letter from Edwin James, son Of DR., james, Of
| this vicinity, will be read with interest:
| MAJOR NJ MoRLEY-Dear Sir: Your favor of
! the I'd inst. is received this day. Please accept
/ my thanks for your kind remembrance and wish
es, and believe me when ! say that they are
heartily and warmly returned. 1t is a very diff
| cult and delicate matter for me to answer such
! a letter from valuable friend as is yours. You
| remark that YOUR wife says YOU can believe all
| saw. and while thank her kindly for her good
opinion, must confess the very fact OF such
confidence being reposed in me causes me, to
hesitate in giving an opinion, which possibly,
perhaps probably, might cause disastrous re-
suits.
1 For myself, have made no money the past
year,. l am perfectly satisfied with the country ;
