Governor has no power to act. The gen.

their work should be of the most effective

Reply 20 Mrs. y. j. SIS Attack ON Rev
Dr. Thayer.

My DEAR Mrs 5. J. S.:-Permit me
one of your most devoted admirers, tC
give you little private (?) advice. for
which have no doubt you will be very
thankful. Stick 10 the line Of literature
which you have heretofore so successful.
ly occupied-racy letters. personal sar-
casms and even pathetic sketches like
your last, in which the curious public
were treated to the jealous and spteful
side of your character. but do not again
attempt to criticize lecture which yo,.
did not hear. The effort Is so
lame, il painfully supge.t.
the need of mental crutchcs.
The fact Of the Vincenncs people adopt
ing the resolutions you refer to, is mat
ter Of no surprise to those at all acquaint-
ed with Dr. Thayer's lecture. SO COM
pletely and effectively did he make war
upon the Spirtualists of Vinccnnes. that
they were literally overwhelmed and had
not strength TO rise from his crushing Ar
guments. Not one among them dayed
Heat'lre upon replying to the Doctor, so,
after hurried and eager consultation
they decided that a'ch set of resolutions
would. perhaps, help to throw him into
temporary confusion, while ii wonld save
them the modification of acknowledp-
ing their defeat.
1t was fine piece Of strategy. but a
'ittle too thin to not be seen through
10y at Intelligent public. Hon. Warren
Chas'-one Of your shining lights-does
not agree with the Spiritual brotherhood
IN Nhcenncs, for upon the completion of
Dr. Ihayer's lecture In this place, he
arose and said it was the best argument
against Spiritualisin he had ever heard.
ana afterwards spent whole evening in
trying to reply to 1t. No person of even
ordinary Intellect, who heard the Doe
TORS lecture, could help acknowledging
lhat he handled his subject in a logical,
scholarly and scientific manner. Itis III.
tie to be wondered at then
that the Spiritualists have fallen
upon this plan TO avoid an encounter
when the odds are so strongly agains,

those resolutions, lover which all the
