Spiritual Manifestations—Metmcr-ism—
Mental Alchemy.
Coincidences sometimes ocaur. 'ureing oar at-tention
upon subjects to which wo should he
otherwise indifferent, or from the contemplaiinn
of which ws should, of choice,. turn away. A
coincidence of this kind is our apology for intro-ducing
the following notices of a subject we know
nothing about.
Wuhia a few days past we hive received
three several private letters from friends now in
the North and Northwest, in which allusion is
made to the " spiritual rappings;"—in the ex-change
papers upon our table we find several
notices of Dr. Williams'! lectures in New
York on " Mental Alchemy j"—ond in the
Westminster Quarterly for January, lately come
to hand, our eye has fallen upon a brief review
of A. J. Davis's book on the natural, spiritual
•nd celestial phenomena of the universe, entitled
the Great llarmonia.
There is no connection between lliese several
great personage and imagining themselves to be
whoever he tells them they are and to be doing
whatever he tells them they are dome. The
greatest curiosity is, that the subjects of l)s» W.
have peifect control over every faculty of the
mind sod body except the particular ono that
the Aocliir chooses specially to influence.
•• I regard with great interest all developments
of science j but I have always been so disgusted
with the pretentious and quackery of itinerant
lecture, OO Animal Mamieiisin and kindred sub-jects,
nl the intentional nnd unintentional admix-ture
nfrliiidonionladeaiid positive falsehood with
the actual truths they had discovered or adopted,
and of their vulgarity of speech and coarseness
of manner, that I had determined to gl*« up all
idea ol atleuduig to the subject, until it fell into
the hands of gentlemen and men of truth. An-other
reason for my disliking to pstronize by my
presence this class of lectures, is that I am what
may he called in one sense stric'lv orthodox in
my religious belief; that is I believe that God
pie. and to reveal and suggest the proper appli-cation
of such general truths as man's physical
and spiritual organization reifuircs in this his
rudiinenial stale of existence."
• From the following briel statement of the im-pressions
left upon our minds by iho perusal of
these two volumes, the reader will perceive a
close .resemblance between the Ilarmonial Phi/
losnphy am1 ihose of Spinoza aod Swedenbnrg.
(iod is represented as trie source and soul u» the
universe, giving birth to it. and dwelling in it
(like the idea giving birth to. and dwelling in, the

You may smile al my mention of courts being
held by justice, of the pesce ; but I can assure
you that in eVrv raapect theirs hsve the nereesi-ry
requisites of courts of record except that they
have no seal of office to twlheolicste their sets
uhroad; though in one instance, llial of fugitive!
from justice, their authority is co-extensive with
the State and requires no further authentication
than the war-ant of the justice with his official

A Warning Voioe from California.
We ropy front the Huston Journal the sub-joined
extracts from a private letter, wrilien by a
iirotlier'in California, in reply lo a letter asking
his advice as to the propriety of another brother's
