Lincoln Heard FrOnI-He does not
Believe in the Present Mode OF
Reconstruction.
The following is an extract from a re-
cent communication of his, given through
the celebrated spiritual medium Mrs
.CoNANr. Of Boston. aud published In last
weeks Boane, ~ Ligbt.
After other remarks Mr.. LINCOLN says:
ooh. an Mr.. Lincoln. we are happy
TO meet YOU hcrc.l | nm very, very gladt 70
lcome. Aud now while am present WIN
YOU to-day, | would like to answer the
lqucstiOu that was asked NE many, tunes
before my death, and has been asked con-
corning me q great many times sinSc'
which question was. Is Mr.. Lincoln a 0plr-
ituslisJ?
must answer In this wise; Mr.. Lincoln
teds not "a Spiritualist before death M any
sense whatever.
Nov let me explain. Notwithstanding
was the recipient OF many spiritual iaNors
from time to time, | bore about the same
relation tu a belief In or acceptance OF
ISpiritualism that | bear at present toward
ltic reconstruction of the Government. |
hope that certain causes will produce Ger
ltain results, but ! do not kJipo.
By the above il will be seen that Mr.
ILrNcoIN saws that he '',rds not a Spiritual
list before death IN any sense Whatever W
land rs he says he bore the same relation to
a belief in itas hc docs to the present mode
Ior reconstruction, of course he necessarily
has no faith in the reconstruction OF the
Raap whatever.
GuARpr,NsHw.-That ass-tute bNdy OF
men. calling themselves aI.cgislaturc' now
assembled mt Columbus, at the dictation,
we doubt not. of parties in this City aud
elsewhere. took It into their exceedingly
wise noodles, that the people of Dayton
were not capable of attending to their do
nestle affairs, and must needs have a quar-
5iaR to appoint their police officers for
them. And IL is thus cities are being rob-
bed of their chartered rightsand privileges,
by Il set of uinuics following in the wake of
Abe, and the Rump Congress, who have
set them the eSample by ignoring both
individual and state rights. Vote for
Democrats and white men, and convince
these Lincolnpoops that the people of Day
ton are capable OF regulating their w
internal police arrangements and domestic
affairs generally.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE.-Somc time ago the
Journal announced itself and the leaders of
the party in this section as decidedly in
favor of the uiggcr voting at the same
ballot-boN with the white laboring man
and mechanic. 1t was the editor of that
paper, and those leaders of the party oper-
ating with him, who secured through pOliti-
cal chicancry the nomination of the Abo-
litiou ticket now in the field fer city of
fees. White men, when the time for vot-
ing comes. don't forget that these are the
men who seek to bring you and your fam
lilies down to Il level with the Niger.
c%-New Jersey, in her late elections
looks bright. The Democrats have carried
B]ordcntown, and have elected twelve out
of twenty-five Frccholders in Burlington
County. a gain of -four Democrats since last
year. In Salem County the Board Of Free
holders stands eleven Democrats aud ten
Republicans. Tho Democrats have also
elected their candidate for Mayor in Mill
willie by forty-three majority,
SIXTY CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATu-ThC
Liverpool Times of March 3 says: \ fire
-. broke out, yesterday morning, at ACcring-
ton, in 4 Soed-dealer's shop, over which wa
