PROGRESS OF FANATIClsM.--The Nor

meeting, in Essex county, New Jer-

by thousands, have recently been
held in Boston, Pittsburgh, and vari-
u other prominent points. The
spread of this sect is almost beyond
belief.
Parson Miller, the nd,ofthe-worM
preacher, is also creating a great
sensation in different parts of the
country. At Albany, n OF his dis
cip!es is nightly attracting crowds to
the church in Grand street, while the
apostle himself is holding forth, with
great unction, in Northampton. Tru-
ly, we live in an age of wonders
and, what with Mesmerism, Miller
ism, Transcendentism, Fourielism,
and Tvlerism, the present bids fair 10
be ranked amongst the most conspicu-
Gus eras in the history of the world!

exhibition, was another of the gang re-

In commenting upon these shocking

1--WE never read such accounts, either
OF Indians or negroes. without asking cur
selves, What was their side of the story2
What long continued. insupportab!e
wrongs drove human nature to such fright,
fol atrocity, such reckless despe ration
Even the Indian does not wantonly attack
those who have alwaystreated him Justly;
and the African needs TO be stimulated by
far greater wrong, before his docile nature
learns to love revenge. We remember
once having heard Of horrible murder
committed in Santa Cruz, by the slaves of
an American, who held property there.
The papers called them "negro devils"
incarnate fends," Sc. 1t was afterward
found that they were newly married men,
and that their young wives, to whom they
were foadIy attached, had been taken
from them, chained to the overseer's bed
post, and logged numerically, 10 compel
them to submit to his orders. Remon-
STRANGE and entreaty only produced addi-
tioaalcruelty; and the outla ged husbands,
goaded beyond endurance, murdered him.
A southern planter, under far less provo
cation, would commit murder, and glory
in it.
II the truth could be ascenained in this
late atrocious proceeding. ! have little
doubt it would be discovered that the de-
moniac treatment of the slaves toward the
white mans daughter, was melted by brn-
tai outrages on their wives or daughters

not fall on the individual who committed

10 opening and explaining the text, the
insuficiency Of all human agencies and
means, in the conversion Of men and Of the
world, were clearly exhibited. Colleges,
and seminaries, and schools, and ministers,
and churches, and sabbath schools were the
power and might" expressed in the text
and never was the common, hackneyed
phrase, God works by means,n made to
appear more puefile. God does indeed
work by means; but the means are all his
own, kept in bis own hands, and used when,
where, BY whom, and upon whom he pIeases.
The preacher explained some of the SYM
bols contained in the chapter of his text,
and very glad should have been TO have
heard what is signifed by athe candlestick
all Of gold" Bot perhaps the time and
the occasion did not require or lead to this.
The charge by Mr.. Mitchell, was charac-
teristic, Astounding, as usual, with sound
doctrine, and much sound sense.
The address, or rather the acharge" TO
the church and society differed from, and
in some respects was superior to, anything
of the kind | have ever witnessed. The
energy and emphasis displayed by the speak
'er was deserving of all praise. Could any
objection be madeto the address, the spirit
of It was not altogether so much like the
spirit which descended in bodily shape like
dove and abode upon the Savior, as could
have been desired. The address, however,
as whole was, in matter and style, very
superior performance. Would that the same
energy and zeal Of manner might be wit
messed every Sabbath day in all our meet
ing houses. There would be far less occa-
sion for complaining of "sleepyn congre-
cations, than exist TOO generally at present.
