spirits, came 10 the outer couII VI thc
White House where Abraham bore his
sadness.
81. And they called for Father Abra-
ham, who answered from his chamber,
and said: here am.s And the spirits
questioned him strictly, saying; what men
are these who have just gone out? From
whence are they? and what is their busi-
ness?
22. And Abraham, rehearsed to them
the whole matter. expounded 1t to them
from first TO last.
%. And the Spirits said unto hin O,
Abrahaml Abraham You have done very
wrong, these men are all versed in divine
things, and know perfectly what yoa
ought to do. Go To-, new Immediately
and issue proclamation. and declare the
sons Of Ham all free.
"a. You, Abraham, are the Chief Mag
istrate of this great and mighty land, a
word from you will free every slave in the
universe; only say the word and your voice
will be obeyed.
25. And Father Abraham was sorely
perplexed and wist not what to do.
26. And the spirits said unto him, you
know, Father Abraham, the fall election
draweth nigh, and unless you do somthing
to rouse the Republicans and Abolition
lists. your seat is in danger-the Chicago
platform is about played cut if you don't
free every slave in the land.
81. you do not obey those priests
of Chicago, and that speedily, the Demo-
Gratis will rise in the power of their might
and all hell will not prevent them from
carrying the election; and then Father
Abraham farewell to fat contracts, good
saleries. secure Offices, and down will go
the war.
2S. And it was so. when the spirits
had said these things, they departed and
left Father Abraham and returned every
one to his tent.
90. And when the spirits were gone
Abraham repeated for wl,at he had said to
the Chief priests of Chicago, and he call
ed his chief scrib- and SAID unto him: Go
to, make "a proclamation, aud put it in
writing. and send it throughout all The
provinces on swift horses, camel5 and
dromedalies.
80. And the ch efscribe answered and
said unto \ ABRAHAM, shall we proclaim inn
mediate emancipation, or shall we give a
space for repentance? And Abraham ans
wered and said, put it of until the tirs,
day of III, first month, even until January
five thousand ei.,h: hundred three score
and three.
81. And the chief scribe answered and
said, Father Abraham the plan is good
it will give US TINS to See how our friends
are pleased with it, and if we find opposi
ton toe great, we will have tins TO modify
it.
80. Furthermore, the chief scribe said
unto Abraham. as soon as we send this
writing forth, the northern Democrats will
become enraged, and will speak some
hard things against our Chicago platform
aud our Republican principles.
50. Go to. therefore aud issue another
proclamation. and | will put it in writing,
et us put a complete gag OH these Demo
cratic dough faces; let us proclaim, that
any person, who shall say single word
against our administration, or our procla-
nations, shall be put in Bastile--and fur
ther. # any person shall publish Demo
cratic newspaper or other writing within
thirty days, let him be banished and his
property coniiscated--and 10y this means
we will certainly carry the October cleo
tons.
81. And Abraham answered and said,
these are my sentiments exactly, let the
thing be done speedily; and it was SO, and
the second proclamation came forth, and
was sealed with the great seal of the San
hedrin.
