A CASE OF SPIRITUAL AFFINITY
RUmors have been in circulation for a
week or more concerning a case of
spiritual affinity and "passional attrac-
ton" in this city. Having spent some
time in an endeavor to ascertain the
facts of the case, we are able to give
what we believe to be correct versian
of the matter:
1t seems that Mr.. F. Skinner, who
has been a somewhat prOminen Spirit
ualist, and who is married man, was
seized with a sudden attraction for a
young and blooming damsel named
Kate Beardsley. He brought her
home and revealed in the delights of
his new affinity" Straightway,
Mrs. Skinner was taken with an affin-
ity for certain DR.. Bently, clair
voyant physician, who has recently
lectured at the Spiritual meetings at
Morgan Hail, on the subject of "Con-
jugal Relations" DR.. Bently has a
wife and three children, bnt he illus
trated his faith in the doctrines adj
vanced in his lectures by taking Mrs.
Skinner to his embraces, according to
the laws of mutual affinity.
This affair occasioned considerable
scandal, and at the Spiritual meetings
at Morgan Hall Sunday before last,
Mr.. E. S. Wheeler, "Improvisatore, "
who had lectured to the flock for sew
eral weeks, took occasion to defend his
brothers and sisters for their practical
exempli6cation of Stree love-" At the
close of the lecture, Mr.. Ralph, a high
ly respectable citizen, denounced the
sentiments of the lecturer with honest
indignation, declaring that they had
done incalculable harm TO Spiritual
ism; he also denounced the conduct oil
the offending parties, declaring that
they ought to be rode on rail.
DR.. Bently and Mrs. Skinner were
present at the meeting to which they
came in company with Mr.. Vince
Ter. Iii said that Mr.. Wheeler came
to this city accompanied by an "affihi.
ty" in the shape Of a married woman
from Syracuse. He has now left the
city,
Skinner is a rather good looking mar
machinist by trade. DIR. Bentley j;
enc of those hirsute creatures we Of
ten meet with at spiritual gathering

Mrs. Bently has gone TO Oriskany
Falls.
Rumor has il that this double pair
mated but not married, are now living
in the same house by mutual consent
1t is but justice To add that the grea
majority Of the spiritualists of Utic
share the sentiments of Mr.. Ralph an,

"free love" proclivites of Skinner an,

Mr.. John A. Andrew, the Republican candi-

naded last Wednesday evening, and, Of course,
made speech. The following specimen of
his remarks shows that John Brown-ism is not

out there and come 10 an end, because the
day shall surely be when the whole family OF
man shall become one upon sanctifed earth,

Applause. But do not mean TO wait--I,

lFor the Emplre.l
More About Begging Votes.

Eds Empire Since sending you my first
l have learned that Mr..
CRAIGHEAD still continues his system Of
personal electioneering. can give You
the names of more than tlcenty stnnnch DEM
ocaats whom he has approached to vote for
him purely on personal grounds Is not this
o novel proceeding? He is radical Repub-
liean," indorses BRrNKERHoFF, is pledged to
the repeal of Fugitive Slave Law, and to the
Wilmot Proviso Yet he has the hardhood
to beg Democrats to desert their principles
simply for him--SAN and nobody else
The worst feature about this begging busi-
ness is this: He brings JULIAN, Of Indiana,
SALMON p CHASE, MATTHIAS NICHOLS, JoHN
SHERMAN and host of other abusive Republi-
can speakers in this district to vilify us and
our candidates, and to denounce and condemn
us; and when he is called upon to speak, he
keeps quiet himself If he thinks he can pull
the wool over our eyes in that he is mistaken.
If he wants Democrats abused WHY don't he
do it himself, like q man, and not import such
political FOUNDERS as JoHS SHERMAN.

Guard the Ballot Boxes.

Are our Democratic friends in all parts of
the State organized with their challenging
committees, and are they ready to guard the
ballot boxes on the election day2 The Re-
puhlicans have got an organized corps called
"Wide Awakes," one Of the professed duties
of which is to guard the ballotboxes, but from
the peculiar organization of these drilled
companies, we think that Democrats should
look well to them. II is notorious that at
least one-third of the "Wide Awakes' are mi
nors, and therefore have no political rights,
and the very fact that they are organized and
drilled in companies, with q view to action on
election day, is prima .tacie evidence that they
will attempt to exercise the right Of suffrage.
Democrats canvass your school-districts-
your wards--your precincts-and look out for
imported and illegal voters Take care that
the ballot boxes are preserved in their purity
See to it that no man is prohibited from voting
who is entitled to that right, and that no man
is allowed to vote who is not entitled to do so,

A speech TO be Kept Before the
PeOnle.

VIM. Seward, in his speech at Boston, Mass.
few days since, said:
What commentary upon the wisdom of
man is given in this single fact, that fifteen
years only after the death of John Quincy
Adams, the people of the United States, who
hurled him from power and from place, are
calling to the head of the nation, to the very
seat from which he was expelled, Abraham
Lincoln enthusiastic cheers whose claim
to that seat is that he confesses the oligation
of that higher law--[applausel (which the Sage
of Quincy proclaimed, and that he avows
himself for veal or woe, for life or death, a
soldier on the side of freedom in the irrepres.
sible conflict between freedom and slavery.
Prolonged cheering tell you fellow citi
zens, that with this victory comes the end of
the power of slavery in the United States.
Cheers
This is unmitignted Abolitionism--an Abo.
litionism thatcontemns and repudistes the Con
sttution of the United States, and is govern.
ed by higher law than that instrument Sew

declares that his election win destroy slavery

ery, hut by this time there we're friends of his
here who had come to the conclusion that he
was unpopular
The reason of Mr.. CANrBELL's strength
was two fold. lie combined all the elements
Of the opposition party He was shrewd and
able And at the same time he carried a
Democratic vote in Butler county that no pow
er could take from him.
Mr. CRAIoHRAD, however, runs as naked
Republican. He visits every German neigh
borhood in the district telling them that he was
the great enemy Of Know Nothingism and is
entitled to their support (He forgets to tell
them, however, that he is in secret alliance
with few Bell men, and that by some means
or other he has some Of them PLEDGED to him;
nor does he tell them the consideration or the
price of this pledge.)
Now when the votes are counted out Mr..
CRAieHEAD will find that pure ,cool won't win
in this Congressional District He will find
that he is from 400 to 700 votes behind And
he and his friends will then discover that sbil-
ity and long service in Congress gave Mr..
CAMPBELL strength in this district far beyond
Mr.. CRAIGHEAD's reach. Let the votes tell.
In order that our friends may have room
for further calculations we give the vote of
this District on Governor last year
