Letter from the Hon. N. P. Tallmadge. To the Editor of the Star: A friend has sent me the Star of the 19th in- stant, containing the proceedings at the ‘St. Patrick’s Anniversary Supper’ in the city of Washington. Amongst other things, General James Shields, in reply to a complimentary toast, uses the following language, when speak- ing of the ‘‘peculiarities of the ih rac “ They are not led aside by every new-fan- gled doctrine which becomes current. You never find an Irishman believing in Spiritual- ism ; he does not take his seat at a table [A yoice—Unless there is good liquor on it,] to watch for the spirits to move it; unless, as my friend remarks, there is good liquor on it, and then h@expects the ‘spirits’ to move him. * * * * * * * Trishmen cannot be hum- bugged by these humbuggeries of the day.”’ I confess I am utterly at a loss to account for this strange language on this patriotic and jey- ous festival, unless the honorable gentleman had himself been elevated to a spirttua/ sphere by imbibing freely of that “good liquor*” of which he speaks with so much unction, until he could say with Caliban, “Pll swear upon that bottie, the liquor is not earthly.” But badinage apart, agentleman should al- ways te a gentleman, even in hiscups. It is, therefore, with deep regret and mortification, that I see the speaker, on this oeeasion, turn- ing aside from the legitimate topics of his speech, and thus appealing to vulgar preju- dice, and at the same time assailing the opin- ions and belief of some of the brightest intel- lects of the age. And when he tells us, “ You never find an [rishman believing in Spiritual- ism,’’ I ean only say that, if he thinks so, he knows much less of the intelligent and edu- cated portion of his countrymen than I du. I have always bee an ardent admirer of the Irish people and of the Irish character. During the course of a long life I have had no more faithful friends than those of the Irish popula- tion, and no one has labored more faithfully or sincerely to repay their support and kindness than I have done. And those of them who know me best, would be the last to join with the honorable gentleman in an attempted ridi- eule of Spiritualism—a subject which, from a thorough investigation, I profess to understand, and which, from his own contession, he knows nothing about. If he wished to set forth the “peculiarities of the Irish race,’ why did he not trace them as excwplified in the charac- teristics of Emmet, of Curran, of Grattan, and of that host of worthies whose gallant conduct oe aes sentiments have adorned and gemmed es of Irish history from the days of St. ick to the present time? Why did he de- seend from the lofty and ennobling themes on which his illustrious countrymen were wont to dwell, and ‘“liquor’’ on topics which their —— spirits would utterly disdain? Why iid he pass heedlessly by the intoleranee and oppression under which Ireland has groaned and suffered, for opinion’s sake, for centuries past, and exhibit in his own person the same intolerance for which the blood of his country- men has freely flowed on the scaffold and the field? Why doves he come here to ridicule and virtually subvert the religious tolerance of our free government, after having escaped from the intolerance of his own’ hy does he set himself up, as Sir Oracle, against Spiritualism, of which he knows nothing, in opposition to the avowed opinions of some of the most eminent statesmen and divines, and the highest judicial functionaries of the country. If he were a low and vulgar demagogue I could see a motive for this appeal to publie prejudice, but far be it from me to place the honorable gentleman in that unenviable category; I estimate his pub- lie services too highly. And if ever he attains to that “bad eminence”’ it will be by his own act, and not by any act of mine. Iknew him weil before he entered upon his military ca- reer, and I admired his amiable qualities and gentlemanly deportment; I followed him through his a in Mexico, and was proud to see the shamrock of the Emerald Isle entwined with the stars and stripes of the American Union. And when I saw him, amidst the battle’s strife, fall “‘with his back to the field and his feet to the fue,’ I mourned the sacrifice of a noble soul in the service of his adopted country. I rejoiced with the whole mation in his unexpected recovery; and I saw him with pleasure enter the te of the United States, asa slight reward bis gal- lant conduct and patriotic servic: I did not expect to see him shine in this new sphere of action like those _—- luminaries that had gone before him, but I fondly hoped he would be surrounded by the light which still lingered on their path. After this brief sketch of the honorable gen- tleman’s career, I express my surprise, as I said in the beginning, at his indiscriminate as- sault upon the advocates of Spiritualism—men who have occupied positions as elevated, and whose talents, w rd the least, would not suffer in comparison with bis own. I cannot even now account for this unexpected and unjustiti- able onslaught, unless the honorable gentle- man is till smarting under the just rebuke he received for bis unfaithfulness a few years ago, ——— to the Senate of the United States referring the memorial of myself and thir- teen thousand Spiritualists for a scientific in- vestigation of t ubject. My views of his course were given in the National Intelligencer at the time, and have been preserved for the benefit of the honorable gentleman and others, in my Appendix to “The Healing of the Na- tions,’’—a book that wil! never die—and where the honorable gentleman will remain the won- der aud admiration of after ages. {had hoped that that brief controversy would have taught him pradence, and that he would have learned, as I have often said. that these “manifesta- tions,’’ the wost extraordinary in the history of the world, are either spiritual or Philosoph- ieal—and, whether they be the one or the other, are equally entitled to the candid consideration of every intelligent mind. Ihe attempt, there- fore, to ridicule them is evidence of a disordered intellect, and must recoil with tremendous ef- feet — him who assumes that ‘unenviable attitude. Believing that the honorable gen- tleman had learned wisdom trom experience. I Was rejoiced to see him again returned to the Senate of the United States from the new and rising State of Minnesota. And I Tespectfully suggest to him that, when he takes his seat nin that honorable body, he move to take up the above-mentioned memorial which was Jaid on the table, with the assurance that he will there find honorable Senators as devoted Spiritualists as myself, and who will do ample justice in relation to any views he may think proper to present. Before | close this communication, mit me to make another suggestion to the honor- able geutleman. namely, that it is estimated there are from three to four millions of Spirit- ualists in the United States, and that their number @ increasing in a geometrical ratio— that Spiritualism is spreading rapidly in other | portions of the world—that the last number of | the Westminster Keview, in an article opposed to it, holds this significant language : “Our readers would be astonished were we to lay before them the names of several of those | who are unflinching believers in it, or are de- voting themselves to the study or reproduction of its marvels. Not only does it survi but it survives with all the charm and all! the stim- ulating attractiveness of 2 secret science. Un- til the public mind in England shall be pre- — tw receive it, or until the evidence can putina — to enforce general conviction, the present policy is t nurse it in quiet and enlarge the circle of influence by a system of noiseless extension. Whether this policy will be successful, remains to be seen, but there ean be no doubt that, should ever the time ar- rive for # revival of the movement, the persons at its head would be men and women whore intellectual qualifications are known to the public, and who possess its confidence and es- of interest. They know that the most exalted in- tellects, male and female, are earnestly en- gaged in the cause—that it is silently spread- ing in the highest classes, and amongst the very elite of society—and they look forward to its future development and ne Lectadeh as an element which may one the destiny of this great country. me of the most sagacious minds already foresee this. In a recent num- ber of the New York Herald, in a shrewd and able article on this subject, its present position was presented. and its future foreshadowed, with @ kind of Scotch second-sight. Spiritual- ism was proclaimed as “already a power in the land.”” And you may rest assured, “when the wind is spomsgry migra “knows a hawk from a hand-saw,”’ better than James Gordon Bennett. Let the honorable gentleman look to 1860 for further developments. N. P. Tantwaner. Poughkeepsie, N. Y., March 25, 1853. _—_—_ +3 The Wife Murder. [From the St. Louis Republican. } We gave yesterday the principal features of the confession of George H. Lamb to the strangula- tion and drowning of his wife, Sarah S. Lamb, on the 17th December last, in the Mississippi riv- er,a short distance below this city. And we gave, last Monday. a long account of the cireum- stances which led to the suspicion that caused his arrest. The whole story shows a depravity the planning. and a cool deliberation in the ecution of the awful deed, which challenges the records of crime to produce anything more horrible Mr. Clark T. Lamb, brother of the accused— Who arrived here Wednesday in company with Mr. Strain, a lawyer of Mendota—yesterday morn- ing visited the prisoner. The latter stated he had misrepresented the facts in saying two men we'e with him in the yawl. He embarked about dusk with his wife and no one else. ‘The remainder of his narrative was similar to that published by us yesterday. {C appears that Lamb confessed his guilt to his lawyer, Mr. Strain, before leaving Mendota, and ever since his arrest he has borne himself as though he could not keep a secret which was the cause of so much inisery to him. He seems to be aware that he is going to die, and has expressed a desire to be visited by clergy ey ite says gly s life is a burden, and be will willin ubmit to the punishment of the law, only wishing time enough to pose his soul to meet its final judge. Coroner Kennedy, having occasion to be at Ca- rondelet yesterday, made early inquiry as to whether a yawl or skiff had been seen drifting by there, aid learned that sometime before Christ- mas three men were seen to get out of a skiff above Carondelet, one of them with a bundle in his hand, and, after shoving the boat into the stream, clamber up the bank and walk hastily away. A little boy afterward recovered the skiff and it is now in the jon of a German liv- ing at Carondelet: Yhis would seem to verify Lamb’s first statement Yesterday afternoon the prisoner was taken be- fore Justice Herckenrath, by virtue of a warrant issued on the attidevit of Jacob Stafford, his fa- ther-in law. There was no examination, how- ever, and there may not be for two or three days yet. Lamb is now in jail. The aitidavit relates that ‘‘ on or about the 17th day of December, 1857, in the city and county of St. Louis, and State of Missouri, one George H. amb did wilfully, deliberately and premedi- tatediy kill and murder one Sarah 8. Lamb, the said Sarah S. Lamb then and there being’ the wife of him, the said George H. Lamb, by mali- ciously; wilfully, reineditatealy and forcibly holding the head of her, the said Sarah 8. Lamb, under the surface of the water of the Mississippi river until she, the said Sarah S. Lamb, died by strangulation and drowning ; and then by tying to the person of her, the said Sarah S.
