Second Volume of the Conflict is before

one is also a gem. There are nearly 200
pages in it more than agents were author

all respects it is complete. In it are y
portraits of prominent men Of the war, d.
agrams Of the principal battle-fields, and

recent speech, among other things of equal
assurance, said
"That he believed the sentiment of the
people Of Maine as in adcance Of that

claring the negro entitled to equal civil

Sp1RIrs.--On Saturday evening, Sun
day at 2, and in the evening, Mr.. Rice, a
Spiritual or Trance lecturer, entertained
quite large audiences at Cambrian Hall.
We were not present. We learn that he
disclaimed any intention to hurt the feel
ings of those who profess Christianity ;
commended the teachings of the Savior. as
the ultima of moral excellence, &C., &c.,
but that he satirized the stories'' of the
old Bible, and ridiculed the miracles of
the New Testament, most particularly the
Conception.
Orr skepticism is bad enough, but it is
honest and unobtrusive: we seldom push
it into the faces of others, for the reason
that it would not benefit friend to pos
sess it. The world is pretty tough with
all the restraint which moral and religious
bodies load it with-how much "tulier -
would it be if there were no restraint at
all?
Ben Franklin said to Paine, on public
occasion, "Friend Paine, do not unchain
the tiger!" Mr.. Rice is talented man,
and he probably pleases large numbers Of
his hearers, but he can be employed better
than in ridiculing the cherished ideas Of
so many millions of his most enlightened
fellow creatures. He who can swallow
the curiosities of Spiritualism, Clairvoy'
ancc, Trance, &c., &C., should not hesitate
moment when The Bible is handed him
We understand he is intending to lee
ture here again in few days-let him
consult the good Of society rather than the
display of sarcasm or the qualification o.
spleen against that best of all religious
systems which is known to humanity. i.
