THE DEMOCRAT.

T. McDONALD Editor. PLYMOUTH, IND. Thursday Morning. May 14th, 1857. Iflodcrn Spiritualism. We call the attention of the reader to an article on this subject, which will be found on tho Crst page. We hare read a great many articles of late on spiritualism, but have seen none that we so fully endorse as the one we refer to. There is no doubt but many wise and good persons have been led far astray by this spiritual delusion We never believed for a moment, that thos strange phenomena, such as mov ing Tables and furniture beating Drums and Tamborins, and lapping, etc., etc were performed by the spirits ti those who hare cone "to thatbonrne from which no traveler returns." In the first place wo arc inclined to the opinion, that such a theory is not in har mony with th Bible: that it is contrary to reason, and that tho character of the com munications purporting to be made; forbid the idea that they were from good spirits, even if such a thing were possible. We find by reading Genesis, II 7, that man was formed of the dust of the ground and the breath of life was breathed into him and man became a living soul, (or man.) Tho 19-111 of Gen. reads thus; "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto duit shalt thou return. These scriptures prove conclusively (to car mind) that man was made of tho dust of the ground, and when hedie3 he returns to the dust, and were it not for the promise of a resurrection; death would be anjoternal sleep: hence the impossibility of the man proper, as some term the immaterial part which is nothing atall, revisiting the inhabitants of this globe after they have suffered the pejalty which is death. In further confirmation of this view we refer to Job, XIV-12, which reads as follows: "so man lieth down, end riseth not till the Heavens be no mere: they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.' David says ia the latter clause of the 15 of the XVII Tsalm; "I shall be satified when I wake ia his likeness' CVI-4 "His breath croeth forth, he returncth to his Mm earth, in that very day his thoughts perish." Paul in his first lUer to the Corinthians XV, argues that there would be a resurrection of tho dead, and that Christ had been raised, and in the 16 and 17th verses ho says; "For if the dead rise i;ot, then i not Christ raised. And if Christ be no: raised, your faith is vain; yo are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fUllen asleep in christ are perished." Job IV 17 "Shall mortal man be more ust than God?' Paul in his firstjletter to Timothy VI 16 says; "Who only hath immortality dwelling in the light, which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen or can see, &c. From the forefroincr extracts we derive he folio .vin conclusions: That man is mortal in his entire being, that he was made oi tho earth, that when the breath of life was breathed into hia nostrils, he becrr.e a living soul, or a living man; when he ceases to lire, he becomes a dead man, in every sense of the woru, that his memory, his knowledge, and his thoughts are perished, and a future life is entirely dependent on a resurrection from the dead. If our views on the foregoing quotations ba correct, this rapping, table-turning, etc., will have to bo attributed to some other principle, than spiritualists attribute it to. We have no doubt but many of the phenoma, as they are called, which have been reported in the papers, have been seen and heard, and we are frank to acknowledge that we cannot giro a philisophical explanation of them, yet it does not follow, as a matter of course, that because they have not been explained on philosophical principles, that they must be performed by the spiriti of the dead. Some argue that the rapping, etc., is causd by Satan, or some of his spirits. This hypothesis, we think, is equally as absurd as the other. Tho Serpent that beguiled our Mother Eve, is represented as talking with ber. Satan was represented in Job's day as walking up and down ia the earth; as smiting Job, etc., and in our Savtaur's time, the Devil is represented as talking with him; but th's secret, invisible power, that ho is represnted a3 exerting, is, to say the least, not in harmony with the accounts given us in tho Bible, of his manner of communicating with the children of men in ancient limes. Doc. Everts of the La Porte Times, ays, If Angel conversed with Abraham, whv not with Mr. Cathfcart?" The Angels that conversed with Abraham, were called men, and no doubt were; they ate and drank with him, and conversed; freely, which was conclusive evidence that they wre material organized brings; sudi communications as they made to Abraham, were tangible, and can b$ easily compreended. '

The Angels that appeared to Lot, were

also cled men, and they told Lot what he must do, in language that he couid not misunderstand. ' We wish our views to be distinctly un derstood, on this subject; we have no doubt but many of the marvelous things which have been reported 3 being performed by thc rappers, are true, but to believe that they were performed by any superhuman pow er, 13 taxing our credulty a little to strong. We have thrown together these few crude thoughts, merely to show what side of this question we stand on; this is the first that we have written on the subject, although we can scarcely open an exchange, particularly from the east, but what has something to say about sptritual mediums. Elections. The corporation elections have passed off about as usual, with one or two exceptions. The Republicans have carried Fort Wayne We would not have been more surprised to have heard that Wayne county had gone Democratic, than that Fort Wayne had cone llenuhlican. We presume that the defeat of the Democrats is in conse quence of there being a very large foreign rote polled there. It is thought by some that thö Republicans cm not call them cat tls quite as much as they did. Laporte, Lafayette, and Logansport, have gone Democratic; Indianapolis and South Bend Republi lan. Conference. Tho North -Western Christian Conference will commence its next session on Thursday, the 28th inst., at the North Schoolhouse, six miles south of this place, on the Michigan Road, and hold over Sunday. Elders Marsh, of Rochester, N. Y., Blain, of Buffalo, E. Miller, jr. of Michigan, Proctor and Fields of Jeffersonvillc, D. R. Mansfield and F. II. Berrick, of Ind, and many other eminent speakers, have signified their intention of being present. Extracts from a modern Dictionary. Author A dealer in words, who gets paid in his own coin.

There are sipi3 that the New York Panaca Railroad Company are a little alarmed at the effect of the vigirous demonstration of this Government against New Granada. It was not a warthat they wanted, but future security against the extortion of the New Granadian Government and against the repetition of the outrages of the 15th of April. A capital of twenty-three millions of dollars is vested by the Panama bteamr r ana Kail road Companv in this transit, and, in the event of a war, even u no loreign nation iook part wun New Granada, it is probable that the transit would be at least temporarily interrupted. The people and the Government of New Grana da, as a measure of defence or revenge, might obstruct or break tip the railroad and seize upon and destroy the property of the Company. It would be an easy thing to bombard and destroy Aspinwall, but it would be more destructive to the interests of the American Company than those of the natives. The Company now deny that they sum ulated the Government to the adoption of hostile measures, and that they have urged the expedien cy of the acquisition by the United States of the territory within which the transit lies. They would prefer that the territory should be common and free to all nations, for if it was the expression exclusive of one, it would be exposed to the hazards of war. Ducovxrt or Lightika it Gas. The first gas lights may be said to have discovered themselves. The most remarkable natural jets were found in a collerr at Whitehaven and Cumberland. The mi ners were at work one day when a gust of air of powerful odor passed by them, and, catching lire at their lamps, Mared up witn such Dnnancy mat the colliers took to their heels in fright. . It was found, however, that the flame, large as it was, burnt quietly and without danger, and the men re turned to their work, A curious result tnen ap peared. The flame was entirely pot out, but im mediately rekindled on the approach of fire, so that the only way to pet rid of the gas was to conduct it to the top of the mine. A tube was fixed for this purpose, and the gas, being lighter than the air. ascended to the surface. As soon as it appeared tkere it burst out once more in a bril liant flame, and crowds of people assembled to witness the extraordinary spectacle, llie application of ras to general purposes of illumination was first tried bv Mr. Murdock, in Cornwall, in 1792. The first display of gas-works was made at Boul ton and Watt's foundry, in Firmlngham, on theoc casion of the reioicines for peace in 1802. Gas lights r- e.-e first introduced Into London in 1807 now th f.ipw in the city extend VobJ 1JOQwil.

Pampas in Ilorscs. Mr. Editor. My attention was called to this subject by passing a blacksmith shop, and seeing a horse refuse to submit to the barbarous operation of having the

lampas, as it is termed, burned out. Now sir, to save the noblest of animals from that unnecessary torture. I will briefly state my praclie1 experience. It freqretly happens that horses are brought to me with tho bar3on the palate in a Plate of tu-! metaction, causing an unnatural prominence of ths lower ridges of the palate. I would not trouble you on this supposed malady, but it has called forth infliction of great torture on the animal. Lampas is neither moro nor les3 than a torpidity of tho vessels of the palate, caused by an inflammatory condition of the germs which frevcntly attend the teething process. In such a case we ousjht instead of burning out, remove the cause by lacerting the gums, and this is seldom called for. I find that in tumefaction of the mouth, arising from whatever cause it may indicate, cooling and astringent washes a week solution af alum is very good, or an effusion of witch hazel or bayberry bark, will auswer the same purpose. The practice of burning out lampas has received the seal of tho ancients, but, I trust, in this nge of progression, such ancient barbarities will be superceded by practical science. T. Webb, V. S., in Zanesville Times. Association of tue Sexes. The autlnr of a work on amusements well observes: Tho natural and only safe mode of euioyin" amusements, is in common. Where one sex, or r-.iv one particular class, enjoy their amusements alone, they are ure to run into excess. The division uf t:ie human family into man, woman and child, father, mother, brother and sister, is the only conservative principle of society; they act and' re-act upon each other like the different seesons of the earth. Each age and sex has its peculiar characteristics, that servo to modify and check certain mischievous tendencies iu the other sex, and in others of different aes. "For one sex to to attempt' to amuse themselves agreeably and innocently alone, is like trying to make music on a onestringed instrument, it has about it a sameness that is tedious and annoying. The union of the aged with the young, the fair with the manly in our diversions, brings every source of social improvement and enjoyment together age with its gravity and experience, roidle life with its energy and its cares, and youth with vivacity and hopes. Is it wright for the aged to censure and discourage the innocent amusements of tho young, merely because they fear that they may be carried to excess, when, presiding at those diversions, they can effectually prevent it?"
