Such associations, in order to be barmoriou. end effective, should te bared on a mutual re- cogniticn of vital truth, cautiourly avoiding any attempi to fet bounce to irquiry or iimits to mental progress. Whereas, the phenomena of modern tpiritualiam, by thelr etartilr g eigniticance urd world-wide ditfusion, have aesumed, in the opinion of this Convention, an import. ence worthy the earnest copsideration of all rational minds, democstrsting as they do the immortatity of the soul, and inaugurating a purer thoology and a deeper pbitesophy than humanity bes bitherts attained, and nil pointing to the slow but certain approxch of the ling pro mircd era of peace@n earth and good will to men. And wheres, the existence of there phenomena are, by the great majority of both the learned an4 unlearned, utterly, ignored, or eise met with ridicule and harsh opposition. AbG wheres®, ome Organization or conseatrated effort for the porpore of spreading the facts of eiritualism broadly before the world is a Cesideratum with every spiritual reformer. Be it therefore Revolved, That a coramittee of five be appointea, whose duty it ehell be to cal) a Nations!

THI CONVENTION NOT A NATIONAL ONE. In the coarse of the discurtion in regard to cal'iog a national convention, it was eeked whether this was no! a rational convention? Dr. Garoner explained that that was & mistake; it was ko announced, but erroneously. A SPIRITUALIST MARRIAGE, The declaration of septiments having been got rid of, the next matter in order was the solemaization of marriage between Mr. Nathan C. Lewis and Mrs. Wunice A. Badd''t, of Bestop. The lady was drosted in lovee flowing robes of white, deeply trimmed in blue,and wore blue sein shoes, Two litle girle, her daughters by a forme: mar- ridge, were drererd in exactly the same atyie, and foliowod ber to the platform. The bridegroom placed himeelf bo- side her. He js a phyeicitn. Both had been married before, and are each about thirty five years of ago. Mir. Lovxianp, who waa formerly a Methodist minister, thongh he does not now appreciate the title of “reverend,” br thi, congregation, said— Although epiritualiaix in general do not accept, but aro Oppoted to, the regulstious that exist legally in regard to the subjugation of woman in tre marriage relations, still they do generally, if not universally, acmit the propriety of making a p acknowledgment of their relations, ‘Then, turning to the interested parties, bo eaid— My brother end sister, I ask you to make no pro- mise, 1 impose upon you no° obligation, Ail tue obligations you have, you have youreelves wasumned In your own epirits.
