Tbe Spirit of Jackson on the Present
Crisis.

Crisis.
Cora L. V. Hatch, everybody who reads at
MI knows is Spiritual medium, who de-
1ivers lectures purporting to come from the
donarted dead She delivered "communi-
cation" recently before ii large audience in
Roston. in the trance state, which represen-
ted itself as coming from the Spirit of Andrew
Jackson. 1t was a remarkable production,
70 sov the least of it, and, as such, we give a
norton of it to the pubic. They can think
il is Gen. Jacksons or the little delicate Cora
uatchs, just as they like, but here it is:
South Carolina has no more right to separ-
o,o herself from the Union because the States
If tbe North have performed acts that are
sot in accordance with her wishes or inter-
nsts than has one member of family because
onother does wrong act, to deny the paren-
1M authority. What has the father done,
chat she should deny her parentage? If there
~ = quarrel in the family, the father must set
ia lit is mis- duty, his prerogative to do So
Were in the position that once occu-
,,ied would not wait to see if 1t is constitu-
i;onol because know it is; but would say,
tho first man who breathes or thinks seces-
sion is a traitor, and must die. Applause
And | would meet the spirit of Abolitionism,
ifit assumed any proportions in the Govern
ment, or if any person on the floor OF Con-
rress dared to advocate it as governmental
matter, in the same way. Applause
If Carolina is so anxious to assume her own
individual mower, why does she not return
her norton of the revenue that was given
under nv administration Why does she
mt seek to establish such financial resources
as will enable her successfully to carry out
Lor nroiected scheme of Individual Sover-
ogptv Ske cannot do it; it is impossible
and nil this bullying and threatening is sim
nlv m attempt to upset and overthrow the
FcJernl Government. The South know very
well that when the question is once fairly
mot the people of the North will grant all
that isreGuired South Carolina does not de.
sire IT, The Secessionists in other States DO
NOT require it. All they want is to break up
this Government, and establish another Con-
federacr predicated upon despotism, tyranny
and drisocracy.
Now how is this TO be met? Not in the
spirit of submission; not 10y waiting to see
wlat South Carolina will do. The poor
child! she might commit suicide and then it
would be too late to do anything Laughter.
The first thing which should have been done,
was to have rooted out and destroyed this
it had assumed the form of an ordinance be
fore convention had been held before dele
gates had been appointed before even the
election of a President had been made a
scape-goat for rebellion and treason. The
very threat TO overthrow the government, in
the event of certain result of the presiden-
tal election, was sufficient to warn the ad-
ministration against the intentions OF those
traitors. 1t is very we'll for him Buchanan
TO say he did not think they would carry
matters so far, but had | the power to whis-
per ia Jim Buchanan ear would say, "You
arc coward, a traitor, fool You dare not
express what you think, nor represent the
people who have placed their welfare and
prosperity in your hands
After advising prompt action on the part
of the Executive in enforcing the laws, he
sums up as follows
would say to you of the North, repeal
those acts which are wrong and unconsitu-
ticnaL The nation requires it. Your gov
ernment requires it; the children that are
coming forth to represent your government
require it; all your flture welfate and glory
among men, require It, Ask no compromise
Let the South grant whatever it will, but do
not assume the name Of being bought to do
what is right
DO this, and rebellion will he at an end
I it is not there is power which can
soon put it down. The God of Justice aud
of Liberty has not so long smiled upon your
country and my country in vain. He has
not so long witnessed its prosperity and sue
cess with Indifference, ard he will not per-
mittho:e who are remorseless, void of con-
science and Of heart, to rob it of its beauty
and its power, nor to drag down justice from
her high temple, nor to destroy the national
ensign and banner which has foated for so
many years in honor of freedom, jnstice and
liberty.
