talking and went to the spot agreed upon to deliver our address.  But while I was waiting more than one hour there, Dr. White did not come.  I felt that I alone should not deliver my message there.  He came at length while there was already twilight.  I said to him, that it was too late and we should not speak.  I assured him again, that I was determined not to speak that night.  But he replied that he was determined to speak, and that he was sure, that nothing would happen.  But I repeated, that some disaster would happen.  Then another strong medium came.  He belonged to the same Republican party that Dr. White did, and lived with Dr. White.  His spirit confirmed the assertion of the spirit of Dr. White, that nothing would happen, if we would address the Delegates.  Then I would not interfere any longer, and Dr. White commenced to address the assembled.  While he spoke, the crowd increased and some commenced to make disturbance.  At that moment the Editor of the Democratic Review in Washington City interfered, and he took the platform, addressing the audience and saying, that the speaker should not be disturbed, and that he supposed the speaker belonged to the Democratic party.  I said once more to Dr. White, that it was high time to leave that place.  But he again asserted, that he was certain, that nothing would happen.  And the other medium of the Republican party confirmed again Dr White’s assertion.

At that moment I left the spot and went to Dr. White’s office.  Fifteen or twenty minutes after me Dr. White and the other strong medium of deluding and destroying spirits, both came about 9 o’clock P.M. and they were frightened and said, that there was so great a disturbance, that policemen were not sufficient to check it.  And they added as a very remarkable instance, that a policeman in trying to check the disturbance, lost his star.  But they did not know the other particulars which appeared on the next morning in the newspapers, to wit, that the above mentioned Editor of the Democratic Review in Washington City was dangerously stabbed in his lungs.  His wound proved not to be fatal, although it was so large, that when it was sounded, the air which blew out of the wound, extinguished the candlelight which was applied to see the wound.  The man who stabbed the Democratic Reviewer from Washington, could not be detected, although the circumstances, from our position considered, make it certain, that he was a medium of distroying spirits belonging to the Republican party.  Those spirits were allowed by our leaders to give a prophetical sign.  The stabbing took place about 9 o’clock P.M. on the 4th day of June, 1856.
