When the c'ergynen Of Chicago waited
upon the President of the United States he
informed them that the proclamation for the
freedom of the negroes would be like the
Pope's bull against the comet; "but," SAYS
this, why don't he inform me, who am so

Comments by the Providence post]
The above is true, undoubtedly, but it
does not tell us half ",he whole truth."-.-
Judge Edmonds, the man of "vssions" is an
adviser of the President and is frequently IN
Washington. We think he is now residing
there. A noted "medium," Of New York
city, is frequently sent for. and has interviews
with the President, the object Of the latter
being to obtain communication with the
spirits. This, we have excellent authority
for saying, is strictly true. In reference to
the proclamation, this may be said: The
spirit Of Andrew jackson was called upon
and urged vehementIy lha: it should not be
issued. The spirit of Thomas Jefferson wa.
called upon, and was in favor of issuing it,
1t is now suspected tina, the spiri, which repl
resented itself to be that of Thomas Jeffen
son WAS IN impostor. From what we have
been told, we have no doubt that the Presl
dent is very firm believer in ghosts but it
is said that he is more conservative than
most Of the spritualists who surround him,

tions from the other world are often deu-
