Webb a: Professor Hare = {From the New York Courier and Enquirer } Sararoea, Sept. 5, 1856. We had a strange scene here etterday, in the ladies parlor. Professor Hare i ere, and mad as a March Harv on the subject of 2 aiace. He lectured at Metropolitan all on Wednesday evening tpon what he calls “the evidenees of imarortality ;"’ and I saw among the audience Mr Joseph Grinnell and Gen. Webb evidently listening attentively and yet laughing at the exhibition. Yesterday afternoon the Professor, who is seventy-five years of age, and has, all his life, been an open and avowed skeptic, ridiculing and battling against all religion and revela- tion, preposed to give a lecture on spiritual- ism im the ladies parlor. Nobody objected ; and old and young—christian and atheist— Mt down to listen. The age and high stand- ing of the Professor, and respect for his past character, commanded the respect of all pres- ent; and when he solemnly assured the au- dience that he embarked in the investigation of the subject simply to expose and destroy what he censidered an absurdity, but that the spirits ef his father, brother, sister and friends begged and entreated him to listen to them white they gave him evidence of its trutb, he evidently made a decp impression upon ail prescnt, especially the youthful and those whe did not know that he is, and ever has been, the open scoffer at all revealed religion. At this stage of the proceeding, Gen. Webb arose ard inquired of the Professor, whether in his lecture the evening previous, in his published book, and his conversations on the piazza of the hotel, he had not proclaimed, that spiritualism as understood by him, neces- sarily involved w renunciation of all belief tn the Bible and in revealed Riligion? At this the Professor flew into a passion, declared the interruption impertinent, and said he would not becatechized Gen. Webb said that in his own lecture-room on the preceding evening, he bad not presumed to intorrupt him; but that here, in the parlor of a aotel common to all, it was his right soto do, and to put the unsuspecting and the young per. sons present upon their guard. The Prosessor was very angry, but finally promised that when through with his lecture he wonld an- swer questions Gen. Webb replied, that as the Professor had proclaimed it to be the duty of every honest man, to inquire after and elicit truth, s0in his judgment, was it the duty of every Christean man, to expose and correct error ; and that having given the caw- tron, he was content to wait until the Profes- sor had finished. Upon the Professor's closing, Gen. Webb rose, when immediately the Professor insisted that he should not be heard because he had interrupted him, but finally was compelled to be quiet. Gen. Webb then said—-- i do not intend to ask any questionsof Professor Hare, whose ago and position entitle him to our pro- found respect; but I desire to make a state ment to you I heard the Professor lecture last night. On that occasion, on the piazz of this Motel, and in his book now lying on that table, he has proclaimed on the author- ity of the spirits of Washington, Franklin, Adams, Chalmers, Clay, Jackson, bis own father and a host of others, that there is not ene particle of truth in the Bible or revealed Religion ; but that the whole fabric of Chri:- tanity is an imposition upon the credulity of wankind. It I misrepresent the Professor { hops he will correct me.’ The Professer sim- ply bowed. Gen. Webb then continwed, ‘Early in life I was in the same law cffice with Judge Edmonds, who is the head and front of this offending ” Professor Hare—I deny that Gen Webb—I yield the point. My brother married Judge Edmond’s sister, and I have known and respected him from boyhood. I mention these facts to show that F speak a/d- visedly when I say that Judge Edmonds, who is at least an older convert to Spiritualism than Professor Hare, and who is cansidered by the public as the chief of the sect, has always assured his friends and relations that be, too, has consulted the spirits of Washington, Franklin, Clay, Kent, and, ix short, all the worthies named by Professor Hare, and that they, one and all, assure him that there is nothing in Spiritualism which conflicts, di- rectly or indireotly, with che religion of the Bible!

As he passed along by his lawyer, that thought- fal gentleman whispered in his ear: ‘* When the Judge asks you what you got drunk on, tell him on peach and honey” He took his stand. “You, too, are up here for an affray,’’ growled the old Judge, gnashing his teeth, as freshing siestas so d. the lounge in the cool and silent chamber.— Ah, well I remember quietly reposing there. sometimes with a headache, fatigued by th heat and labor of the morning—often I have felt a kiss upon my brow, and cool, soft fin- gers gently pressing my throbbing temples, and bythcir mesmeric influence dispelling the pain and giving balmy sleep.
