mission and protection he has shown
that if he had had open intercourse
with spirits, he would simply have
come in contact with his associate
spirits, who are like himself, and
could have received no reliable knowl-
edge of the ultimate destiny of man.
But all this was but little more than
incidental to his chief mission. He
claims to have received from the Lord
the truths of new dispensatiOn, in
cluding the true meaning or spiritual
sense of the sacred Scriptures un-
folding it in strict accordance with
the great and universal science of
correspondence between natural and
spiritual things. In the light of the
spiritual sense, it is claimed that all
of the apparent contradictions of the
letter disappear, and it is demonstra>
ted to mans intellectual perceptions
beyond the possibility of a doubt that
in the Bible we have special revela-
tions from God to man. Swedenborg
assures us that he receive nothing of
the doctrines of the New Church, or
of the spiritual sense of the sacred
Scriptures, from any angel or spirit,
but from the Lord alone. while read
idg his Word. He most solemnly de-
clares that he witnessed the last iud5
ment, in the spiritual world, during
the year 1857. and he anticipated. as
result of that judgment, that man
kind would thereafter be in a greater
state of freedom on religious subjects
than before it, as vast cloud of evil
spirits who obscured the descent of
heavenly light were removed from
contact with men in the spiritual
world at that time. All things were
to be made new, in fulfillment of the
prophecies in regard to the Lord sec
ond coming, which was not to be
personal coming in the natural world,
but a coming in the clouds of heaven
mot of earth), or in the literal sense
of his Holy Word, to which the natu>
raj clouds correspond. They thus
correspond because We receive spirit
ual light and heat or divine wisdom
and love through the letter of the sa
cred Scriptures, as we receive natu-
raj light and heat through the natural
clouds
Such are a few of the startling
claims of this distinguished writer;
and those who acknowledge that his
writings contain a true revelation
from Jesus Christ to the men of this
age. believe that all the wonderful
changes for the better which are taxi
ing and have taken place within the
past century, in religious views, and
all the recent discoveries and inven
tiOns. are the result of Christ's sec
ond coming; and, still further, they
believe that at present we behold but
the dawning light of the New Jeru-
salem, which is to be the crown of all
dispensations. "Light, more light
still" " is to pour in upon us from the
world of cauees. More wonderful
things and changes are ahead of us
in the near future, for the day is
dawning when knowledge of the
Lord is to cover the earth as the wa.
tiers cover the deep" Freedom and
justice are to prevail the dark shad-
Ows of dreary night of spiritual and
civil despotism are passing away
the world is moving and will continue
to move upward and onward, and the
rising sun of religious freedom is not
to 60 down, so sure as the Lord
reigns. J.E.

A Talk with eur Readers.

N SaAA
Bleak winter stands before you with
all its grave realities; and the pres
ent is the time to prepare for its de-
mands. Before its icy embrace shall
be thrown around the earth. every
preparation for use and comfort
should be made, in order that COM
fort and happiness may be the lot of
all animated nature with which you
arc surrounded All the vicissitudes
of nature are derived from those in
variable laws established by the Di-
vine Architect when he put the uni
verse in form and pronounced it
good. Ever since, and certain speci-
fc times, the return of the same rev
olutiOns, and the same effects, have
been observed in the heavens and up
on the earth.
BY laws which are to us unknown,
the celestial bodies are caused to roll
on with incOnceivable velocity, and
and in so perfect an order that moth
ing can disturbed them. The air is
in perpetual motion whilst it turns
round our globe the water also pur-
sues its course without interruption =,
the rivers fall in to the sea, and from
its extensive surface those vapOrS
arise which form clouds. They fall
down upon the earth in rain, nail, and
snow; they penetrate the bosom of
the mountains, and feed the springs
whence those streams proceed which
being increased in their courses, be-
come rivers. Thus the water which
fell from the clouds, returns again in
to the sea. The seasons also endure
limited time, and succeed each 9TH
er in an established order. Every
year the fruitful earth reproduces
plants and crops; nevertheless, she is
never exhausted /; for, because of the
constant circulation which takes place
between the nutritive PARTICLES. what
soever she gives is returned to her
again, Winter comes at the deter
mined time, and leads her to the re-
pose which she requires; when win.
ter has accomplished this design, it
retires, and spring takes its place and
restores to the earth the children she
had lost.
That the winter may be season Of
comfort and progress, we must be en-
gagged now in preparing for its com
ing. The whole universe is linked
together in all its parts. There is
nothing in it without design; nothing
but what is an immediate effect from
a preceding cause. Nature proceeds
not by leaps all goes on gradually;
from component to the composed :;
from the least to the most perfect :;
from inanimate to inanimate; from
corporal to spiritual. We daily per-
ceive that the cold gradually increas-
es. and this gradual increase is indis-
penSable necessary to the preServa.
tion of all organic life. Our dwell
ings should be reftted; fuel made
ready; winter clothing laid in; fruits,
vegetables. cereals, and meats in
abundant stock; our barns and out
houses put IN good repair, and suffi-
ciently ample to shelter all domestic
animals; roots. grain, and herbage of
all kinds sufficient for every want /;
and, thus with everything made com
Portable the winter will be, to the
thoughtful and intelligent mind the
happiest season of the year.

/.
o say, can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twillght's
last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through
the perilous fight,
Or the ramparts we watched were so GAL
lan:ly streaming!
And the rockets red glare, the bombs burst
ing in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag
was still there.
o say, does that star spangled banner
yet wave
Ger the land of TIE free and the home
of the brave.
On the shore dimly seen through the mists
of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread ST.
lence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, Ger the tow
ering sleep,
As it fitfully blows half cOnceals, half dis
closes?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings
first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the
stream.
'Tis the star-spangled banner. o! long
may it wave
Ger the land of the free and the home Of
the brave.
And where is that band who so vauntingly
swOre,
Mid the havoc of wa- and the battles con
fusion,
4 home and a country should leave us no
mores
Their blood hath washed out their foul
footsteps pollusiOn.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the
grave;
And the star-splangled banner in tri-
umph doth wave,
Der the land of the free and the home
of the brave.
o. thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand,
Between their loved homes and the wars
desOlatiOn;
Blessed with victory and peace, may the
Heaven rescued land,
Praise the Power that hath made and pre-
served as nation,
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is
Just,
And this be our motto, IN Con is OUR TRUST,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph
shall wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave.

a dollar there scattered over the nu.

they be gathered together? The pa

TUESDAY. November 5 1872,
AFTER THE BATTLE.

At the date of this writing, we
are near the edge of battle. Be
fore the issue of this paper, the
President will have been elected.
The Congressional campaigns de-
cided, and the legislative choice
made. Whatever the result may
be, the people must and will abide
by it. 1t may be that Mr.. Gree
ley is beaten. We are inclined to
guess that Gen. Grants re election
has been decided. 1t should be
otherwise, and but for that bastard
ly element which goes to make up
the political motive of so many OF
our american voters, it would be
otherwise. We wish that the lib
eral movement could have been as
large in its being, as it was gener-
ous and genuine in its inception
1t was a mighty movement, some
what botched in its execution, and
if it has elevated Mr.. Greeley to
the Presidency, that result will
have been due to the splendid be-
ginning which it had. But be the
result as it may, We believe that it
will be very many years before there
will be presented any other posi-
bility of success for those of us
who have suffered so protracted an
exclusion from the privileges of po-
itcal power. The liberal move
ment must not die.
Turning to Tennessee, if Mr..
johnson has been defeated, we may
as well proceed to mark that re
suit as one which the reflection OF
this people vii have reason to re-
member, as one of those errors,
which lack the feature of plausible
excuse.
The election of Gen. Cheatham,
if such a thing should be, will have
for its corollary a great show OF
victorious, 81 told you So" and a
great show of proscriptive triumph,
but there will follow the stale re
suit, which waits always upon vio-
lated judgement, and the hattery
of passion. The leaden roll call at
Washington, will attest the faith
ful presence and barren history
the faithful absence of our repre-
sentation.
Ii however Mr.. johnson has been
elected, Tennessee will regain vast
ly Of her lost national. prestige, and
the popular conscience will feel an
irressistable relief that its first
prompting for an act of FELo DE sE
has been abOrtiyo-

Dear Ne1Us:
Thinking you would like to hear
from this part of old Scott county, I'll
drop you a line. We are somewhat
divided in politics, but we will give
Greeley large majority in this cOun-
ty in spite of StOUe-them-dU and his
jolly crew. A large number of our
citizens was out yesterday to hear the
speeches of Col. James B. Richmond
and H. S. X. Morrison of Estillville,
Va.
Col. Richmond said it was his first
effort at political speaking; his speech
was delivered well, and what he said
We're plain facts undeniable by the
Grant party. He advised the people
to vote for Greeley and Reform.
He then introduced Mr.. Morrison,
who came forward in his usual good
natured way and made a very able
speech in relative to Finances.
Yours, Truly.
