What are the Practical Reasons
Why an Intelligent Investigator
Should Become a Spiritualist?
Lettxrc by Rev. Dr. Eallci, Delivered at Wash

HPIt'lAL PIKIM1URAPUIC BliPOHT FOB THE KVK.N-
'IHQ TKLEOllAPH.l
Upon commencing his lecture Dr. Ballon
saw: Friend", the theme announced lor thin tve
' nitip's discourse is constituted in tnese words:
What are the practical reasons why an intcUijcnl
investigator should be come a spiritualist? ' We
we exhorted by the Apostle Paul, in his First
Epistle to tlie TuessaloiiiHns, to "prove all thines
ana nolo Inst Unit which iseood." lji ad,lrssinr
yon on this subject I shall do best, probably, to
HpeaK Irom my own stund-poirt, and somewhat
in accordance with my own' experience and
observations in relation to ta'rtjreneral subject.
What ib a ppmtiuilit a npuitnaliKt of our day
lie is one who In convinced, and tiriul y believe",
that departed human -pints frequently coninu
ideate with and mamiiH Vheinsulvcs in this
Knte of Hesb. and blood. Whoever is convinced
of tins whoever is sutisiietl in bis own mind
that this is truo in our own time, is a ?iiiritnalist
in the sense of this theme, lie tuny believe
more or ka in resrard to tin1 philosophies and to
the various speculations in which spiritualists
indulge; may stand in dilleicnt positions with
repaid to the claims of every other sub
ject and question, but if he is firmly
convinced that departed spirits do some
times and lrcqucntly in our day co n
moiueate with and manifest themselves to
mankind in the tlesh, he is entitled lo be culled
a spiritualist. What do I mean by an hit diigent
investigator? An investigator is one who "ex
amines into and searches out the evidences and
reasons for any proposition which is submitted
to him. An intelligent investigator is of course
one who is competent to enter upon this senich
. lug examination understand inely.
Mime aie bxe.l religionists, who wi-di to know
nothing more concerniua this subject than they
suppose they have had revealed to them in the
Jhble and other sacred bonks. They look upon
spiritual muui testations, if they are really to be
regarded as such, as special interpositions of
Providence, and have made up their minds that
no such interpositions tnke place in our day.
They look upon it as a kind ot saci ih'ore to in
quire whether it is true that departed spirits
manifest themselves to men in the flesh now.
We have thoroughly learned men who are Saddu
cecs, well-instructed and educated men and
women, who seem to scorn and condemn it.
ISonic sneer at, ghosts. Some sneer at the sub
ject ns if it was beneath their respect, only de
serving of their contempt. All such persons as
these are unfit to be investigator', because they
set out despising the whole tiling, and what is
worse they have desp sed it on the very cround
that the.y arc educated and vdl-in-tructcd peo
ple, ana that it is only for tools and crazy men
to look into this matter. Then you have a great
multitude of downright skeptics who are iiist as
certain that there in nothing out of tlesh and
blood that has any intelligence, as they are that
they take a drink".
Then we have large multitudes of people that
have lollowed to the grave the hearse that bore
away these triends, and m many instances they
spurn the idea that they exist herealter. Ttiey
throw It aside as a matter of no importance.
Some of them distinctly say that they do not
wish any further acquaintance with their de
parted friends. They hope it is well with them,
but tbey don't care to have any further know
ledge ot them; and they look upon U3 who nre
interested in such things as crazy-headed men
and women.
Then there are those who have parted with
very near and dear friends, who would give the
solid globe if they had an assurance of their
future existence. There are those who ask
themselves, whence came I and whither do I
po? What will be my stale when the collin
encloses my remains and the gruve receives
my body? Tnev grasp at everything that
promises Them this assuiance. Now I belong
to that class of persons, vo you belong to the
same class ?
I do not call a man or woman an intelligent
investigator who is prejudiced, hard-headed,
and disposed to battle with evidence at every
step. It may be asked what the speuker wishes
to set forth as proper evidence in this cause. I
should say that there oiiubt to be evidence in
believing o.y the senses. I would lake the testi
mony ot a cuflicient number of credible wit
nesses; that R r;eu or women who have seen,
or heard, or felt, or known, and whose testi
mony aeiers in facts.
Then I would say there is that which may be
called circumstantial evidence; that applies to
my own ease. You will observe I am speaking
from my own standpoint, just as if 1 had gone
through this investigation. I felt bound to make
myself assured that a spirit manifestation, of
whatever kind, purported to be such, was not a
tiick of legerdemain nor slighl-fo-hand; butthut
it was a reality. For instance, if I heard rap
pines, I had to satisfy myself that those rappings
were not made by machinery contrivance of any
kind, if 1 saw a stand move in that manner
(the speaker here pushed the stand backwards
and forwards), as 1 have seen them, I would
Inquire whether it was moved by wires, whether
it was under the control of some ingeuious in
dividual who was undertaking to play a trick
upon me, and assure myself that there was no
flesh or muscular power applied to it !
I have five general reasons why an intelli
gent investigator r-bould become a spiritualist.
I believe that departed spirits frequently in our
dav, as well as in the pat, ruauiiest them
selves, and communicate with liviuir beings.
There are a number ol well-authenticated ca-es
ot manilestation of spirits in "iir day.
When I beean to investigate this question, I
had the good fortune to have residins in my
immediate neighborhood a yonnpr lady who was
developed as a "medium." 1 knew tne taiuiiy
and the young Indy. I had kuowu her from a
mere child. She" assured me there was no 1
trickery about it, that it was substantially what
it purported t" be, so far as she was concerned.
On a certain occasiou I was at a neighbor's of
mine, at-d close by bun there was a circle
society, and thiw young lady was the medium.
I went in on uu errand, and was about to
leave the room when they called on the table
for the alphabet, and it was spelled ri.ht out. 1
waited a little while to propose pouiethmg to
him (the spirit). This purported to come liom
a man whose name was Lilia Howard, a man
whom 1 had known, and who had been tor
several years in the spirit land. They asked if
the spirit should select a c-xt for me for the next
Sabbath. 1 said yes.
Then there came a loud knocking and thp
word the was spelled. Then there was a dead
stop. .The table was moved around in that
mauncr. (Pushing the table around violently.)
This indicated another spirit, whose name was
Pweney, with whom I had had intercourse.
He said it was impossible for him lo muke
those raps, he could move the tables but could
not make the raps. Then (-aid 1, 'VSince you
are here where is my friend, who makes the
alphabet?" "oh !" he replied, "he will be back
in a few moment-."
I went into conversation"uth him then. In a
little while came the strange biennis, which im
mediately began with the alphabet, and spelled.
out thC ii'n anu I.mi verses m me
ter ol the First Corinthians. I asked the spirit
if he would be in the o'jureh, and he replied that
be would. Tbc limo for the sermon came. We
began ehiging the hymn, when the rapper ap
peared at the table uet.r me, keeping time to
every hymn that was sung, and remaining
.v,.,,,,rriwiit the pntiro service.
The speaker then proceeded to narrate his
experience with trance mediums at considerable
,., rth r.tmin jr the following, among other. inci-
i- ..f. n -
A lew years ago 1 was in Intern, li-fore 1
.
started tor home my nrd myself male up ft
number of questions in the names of different
pirit lrierds. w placed them in a oox and
prepared ourselves as we understood was re
milreil. We -wanted everything to be satis
tauery. 1 had a friend once who was on his dcnth-bel.
i.rtd we agiecd to hold communication, lie had
taken the trouble, through his love of me, to
Lave a portrait ol myself painted. That hung
up in his toom. We hxctl on the na ne portrait
as the word to be given, lie died sh rtly alter,
and it so happened that his name was in thh
box. He had been dead for two years at the
t me, and I had tried" every wa to hold
c nin.niiicatlon with him, but without direct.
But at last he answered the call. He said h
tad been trying a long time to communicate,
but he never succeeded.'
I asked him how I could tell he wns the one
he represented himself to be. He then spelled
out I he word p-o-r-t r-a 1-t. Then he addressed
himself through the medium with the greatest
satii-laction and joy. He bid me go on, that the
angels of (Jod were with me, and hoped 1 would
not be discouraged at nnytliiug I met. I had
never mentioned the word to anybody. What
could 1 say to that? Was there oersonalty ?
was mere prooaoie identity there 7 1 have been
asked, Are you sure these thintrs do not all
come Irom the devil V
It they did come from the devil if there !-
any devil to cause them I am very thankful
mat he lias come out and made himself known.
I heard ol him long a;o. 1 want to know if he
can move otaers.il he Is real v extant. I do
not w ant him to be outside.
Jly triends, I tell you it is an absurdity to a-k
such n question as that.
1 do not want you to swallow all that I say;
look at the subject, and be convinced. 1 am
telling you what I tniuk an intelligent investi
gator oiicht to b. What is the use of sayintr
bnythina more ? 1 could stand here all mailt
und talk to you on this subject. 1 liave gone
through all that is necessary. 1 have said it in
a simple, plain way, and 1 have said it just as It
was in my mind. 'Despite the ieers and spoil's ol
a portion of the Community, I am not afraid to
walk the streets and proclaim that I am a Hat
and a square spiritualist.
The speaker continued for about an lioui ami
a half, eliciting the profoundest attention Irom
his auditors. It was evideut trcm their de
meanor that they had the fullest iaith in what
they heard.
Kkpcblican Mass Meeting Spekcii
of Cor.oNF.L lt.jS. Mattuewb. Nat ion alalia 1 1 was
crowded last cveninc, on the occasion ot the
delivery ot an address bv Colonel K. tStockeit
Matthews, ot Baltimore. At the appoin'ej hour
John Coiorlh, Ksq., was called on to take the
chair. He thanked the audience for the com
pliment thus conierred upon him, and took
pleasure in introducing a diftingtihed cham
pion of human rights. Colonel It. Stocked
Matthews, who was received with great applause.
lietore this audience, and in view of the many
issues which distract the public mind, Col. Mat
thews felt that a braver heart and older head
should occupy the stand on tins oeca-ion. He
commenced by alluding to t lie peculiar position
ot public atlairs at the present time. He was
opposed to committing tne. Government to men
who had tor over five years been the open advo
cates of human slavery. Not only was he op
posed to that party, but he wiu opposed to every
man who did not put himself in opposition to
that party.
It had never administered the Government
aright, anil has always sanctioned that which
tended to injure its best interests. He was op
posed to all such men, because he loved that
which had been the admiration and refuge of
tlie oppressed.
The people of his State were not as harmless
ns the dove, but when tlie candidates put up
by those ot his tate did not sanction that
Vi hicb was oirectly nuht he would oppose it.
It this is a republican form of Government,
those who live under it can claim that which
brings to them the greatest amount of happiness.
Governments arc intended ns the dispensers of
the greatest ble.-sings to those who live under
their influence. Governments which do not
tenderly put their hands on the heads ot those
who are their subjects, and oiler to ihem such
protection as they have a right to expect, are
not answering the ends for which they are in
tended. Believing that impartial suffrage is right,
therelore, he was in favor of it whenever it
could be brought about for the hst
interests of the governed. The enemies of the
Republican party ate in favor of restricted suf
frage, it is a mere question of power with
them. They wish to lodge the power in the
lmnils of the tew, nud thuH keep hacK from the
ballot-box those who have as good right to vote
as those who oppose impartial suffrage.
It some of those who have opposed this liberty
were in the South, the.y would not refuse to unite
themselves to those who nre of the colored race
in the holy bonds of matrimony. He would not
trust them. (Laughter and applause.)
if yu take those who have been instrumental
in crushing the interests of the colored man,
and place them under some crowned head of
hurope, they would bow down in reverence,
and worship their masters. The Democratic
party has risen and sunk.
At the bullets of the South, surrender of
General Lee, and at various times during the
war has it shown its hideous head. (Lauirhter
and applause.) They showed themselves in the
igwani in this city, lhey have appeared, and
then nil ot a sudden have sunk into oblivion, to
all human appearance. Their recent meeting
at the Winwani was but a spiritual meetiug;
the.y buried themselves in what they call the
National Union parly. They have run about
like ghosts, wrapping themselves up In gauze,
such as appears around the chandehors in your
Continental and other hotels.
Mr. Doolittle was there too. He made one
very laree joke -when he askpd to be allowed
to read a telegram in the following words:
"The Administration candidate has been elected
in Colorado." (Great applause.) And the
next morning he was obliged, to announce a
telegram ol a diilereut kind. (Renewed
lauuhter.) Aeain, when it was announced
that Massachusetts aud South Caroiiua would
walk arm-in-arm into the Wigwam this was
another ghost. (Tremendous applause.)
Who made that Convention? Who gave it
all the brains that it had? Andrew Johnson,
Doolittle, aud men ot that kind. They car
ried the whole Convention through for the
sole purpose ot defrauding the" American
people. It was false tn appropriating to it the
uame of the National Union party, when there
were but tew who were there who cjuld be
indoised as national men.
There were lew loyal men there as the dele
gates, but the majority ot the men fro jo the
North ami the bomh wno were the representa-

hen the President tcok upon himself the
oath of oflice in the beastly stale he was in,
lie knew that the hual party ol the country
would not support him, and therelore he got
up the Convention which repreoeuted bis policy,
and was held in this citv.
Th' partv which upholds him is the great
party oi traitors Noith and South. It may be
said ol Mr. Johnson that he made a eood tailor,
out ne lias made a very poor rresiuent, lie
(the speaker) only wished Mr. Jolinsofi had on
tinned a tailor. He did not wish thus to speak,
He was one of the electors of his State, aud had
cast his vote for Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Jolmsou,
but ho was now compelled, through the acts
of Mr. Johnson, to speak his mind, as his
record had been one oi digrace.
The men who are his (iiends have taken hold
upon ihe throat ot our Government. They have
killed our lathers and sons, snail we, men,
lake them to our embrace? lie (the speaker)
was not in favor ot such a course as that waich
the policy of the President had hud out for the
people.
lie has refused to hane Jefferson Davis, and
would this dav let him go. He has asked Mr,
Chase to hang him. Who has made Mr. Chase
the Jack Ketch of the Government? (Lamrh
ter.) He has denounced the Congress of the
United Ptatis as a Rump Congress, and he has
told the people that he did not intend to execute
ihe laws passed by them.
The sneaker then contmned at irreat lentrth
dnrinu which he contrasted the advantages of
thi Government with those of the Old World,

Mai or McMichael was the next speaker intro

horoueh of Gerninntown lor tuc purpose of let
ting them know that he had returned home.
He said thai he was not sorry that he was absent
Irom tlie city when President Johnson visited
our city, nor did he think that hts constituents
were. If he had been in Philadelphia he should
have, owing to the position he occupied, been
lorced to have acted in opposition to his own

lion. Lewis T. Barker, oi Maine, followed Mr.
McMichael. His address, like that ot the last
mimed speaker, was both amusing and interest

by the lojal people of the old Pine-tree Stat in
tlie late elee'ion, and was confident that the
course that Ma'iic had taken in relinking An

Hon. Caleb N. Taylor. Renublican candidate
lor Congress in the Filth District, was the last
speaker. His remarks were chiefly coatined to
the Constitutional amendments enacted by Con
gress, and the course which that body should
continue to pursue towards the disloyal people
of the unreconstructed States. He continued
at some length, end retired amid great applause,
alter which the meeting adjourned.

Democratic Mass Meeting at Na
TioNAL Guards' Hall Speech of Hon. J. It.
Doolittle. National Guards' Hall was crowded
to its utmost capacity last evening, on the occa
sion ol an address 'by Hon. J. R. Doolittle, of
Wisconsin. Mr. Doolitrle was escorted trom the
Continental Hotel to the Hall by a number of
Democratic and Conservative Clubs, with torches
and ninsie. Upon his entrance into the Hall he
was urn ted with gieat cheering. After the ap
plause had subsided, Joseph R. Flanigen intro
duced Mr. Doolittle to the audience.
Mr. Dooiittle said he was here, a thousand
mites from his home, to address the men of
Pennsylvania, because he believed that on the
men of Pennsylvania rests a greater responsi
bility than ever rested before. There is now
presented to the people of Pennsylvania aud the
whole country a question the most momentous
ever before presented a question which, like
Aaron's rod, swallows no all other quest'.ous,
and in which is involved republican and consti
tutional government. That question, stripped
of all verbiage, is this Is Congress above the
Constitution, or is the Constitution above Con
gress ?
The speaker continued at considerable length,
quoting from the 'tribune and other Republican
papers to establHi his proposition, that good
fan h requires us to keep pledges made during
the war, that the Union should not be destroyed.
The crowd outside the hall organized a meet

A serious disturbance took place last evening
about 10 o'clock, at the corner of Moyameusing
avenue ana renerai sireet. it appears that tlie
Assessors have been sitting during the past
three nights, tor the purpose ot adding to the
extra assessment lists tlie names ot tnose per
sons who had failed to be assessed, or had
moved into the district during the past few
weks, and that the house was attacked bv a
gang of men, who bred pistols and used weapons
of various kinds to carry out their desiens.
xue statements ot me loiiowmg othcers are
given: Sergeant Alexander, of tha First Dis
trict, stated that when the polls closed for the
extra assessments he was standing on the N. E.
coiner ot Moyameusing aveuue and Federal
street; saw a man run oil' into the middle of the
avenue; he sang out. Come on, you rascals; said

The otliceis then returned, and gave the

Sergeant McNamara, of tlie First District,

tlie beginning of a tight.
Oliicer Hoover stated that before any shots
were tired, three men came irom Falby's'house.
They stood at the corner ot the street, and said,
'Come ou, now; we are ready for you." They

School- Matters. The Principal of the
Monroe Grammar School (Mr. Philip Cregar)
took foircul have of Ihe pupils at 3 o'clock yes
terday allemoon. The exercises were very in
piessive, the pupils evincing tokens of sorrow
lit parting with their much beloved Principal.
Air. Cregar addressed the Scholnis at length.
During me course of his remarks he said he had
been identilicd with the public schools of Phila
delphia tor thirty-one years. He first entered
thepublicschoolaasan assistant, in Third street,
above Brown, under John M. Coleman, who was
i uen rrmcipai.
Alter being there about two years he, in con
nection with John H. Brown, established a
boarding school in Lancaster county, of thi
Suite. About a year aftetwards he returned to
the city and established a private school. He
took charge ot the "Southeast" Grammar
School, in r'ront street, below Pine, on the 1st
ol January, 1843, since which time he has been
principal of the .Northwest Grammar and the
Girls' "High, School."
He lclt tins Bcnool (Monroe) for the purpose
of opening a day and boarding- school. Ha left
with pleasure, knowing that a large majority of
his pupils, who have been thousands iu number,
were doing well; some of them promiucut men
iu their native State, and others active men in
the interior towns ol this and in the chief cities
oi other States not, a few active business men
in the city of New York.
Tlie young men haviug presented him with a
clock, in referring to it he said that it ad
monished him tbat his rune was passing. More
than twotcoie years aud ten oi the threescore
years alloted to man had already passed. He
also reminded them that their time was passing.
He bid them not to stiller it to pass until it was
entirely gone, without having improved it.
In taking leave ol them, using the word fare
well, be Loped that the.y would fare-well, to-day
and every other day of their lives, and also fare
well in the lile to come.
The scholars presented him with a neat and
substantial clock. There is nothing gaudy
about it, evidently made lo la-t; valued at $20.
it was presented ou betiaii ol the scholars ny
Cecil A. Preston, in the following appropriate
language:
Mr. Creirar Sir: It is with much regret that we
Iisve tieaid of your determination to retire from the
