Immediate Abolition.


Mr.. Editor - Doubtless it is ,rue tba,
much OF the dispute, which exists at the
present day, among those who are DESTROYS
OF the extinction of slavery, arises from some
mutual misunderstanding in regard to the
import Of terms. Hence We submit the fol.
lowing interrogatiyes, viz:
What do you understand by the term
!" instantaneous & universal emancipa,on2, 81;
And what true inference shall be drawn
from the term, Immediate abolition of
slavery 2"
These questions are respectfully submit
ted TO your notice, with the request thar you
give definite answers through the columns
OF your paper, as soon as convenient, and
with Inc nope that when the public mind
correctly appreciates your real sentiments
ii will embrace them.

The Great Miller Camp Meeting at Newark
Fourth Dav.


NEWARK, Monday, Nov 7th.
The excitement in regard to this camp meeting,
increases with every succeeding day Already over
sixty converts to this doctrine have been made in
this place, and some of them have made prepare
lions TO sell out all their property, and put il into
the common stock among Others, am told of a
gentleman named Pearce or Price, in this place,
who is about TO do so; and believe that the rich
merchant, Mr.. Crttenden, in Hartford, has already
done so. Al any rate, the excitement is so great,
that at all the churches here yesterday, the respec
tive ministers preached against it, Some of them
said that the end Of the world would come in about
1000 years; others said in about 100 years; and
Others still more definite said that it would take
place in precisely l56 years from the present time
denounced Mr.. Miller great humbug, and de-
cared that he knew nothing of chronology
In order to refute this assertion, Mr.. Miller to-day
brought forward the following curious chronology
cal statement, Of the various ages and periods Of
the world, the patriarchs, kings, &c, VINO have 60
yemed H. and the respective periods that they have
lived and reigned; and he says that he has more
doubt about the correctness OF this calculation
than he has of his own existence. He
adds, that he has no object in making
any false statement he beseeches all to study his
chronology closely and without prejudice, and
warns them all against not being prepared for the
eond coming OF Christ He appears to be very sim
cere, although he is Yankee (having been born at
Pitisfeld, Massachusetis) and the chronology is
somewhat curious, and if true, immensely impor
tant, send il for the benefit Of your readers If
be not true the learned heologians of your city and
elsewhere can easily set to work and correct it +;
and can assure them they had better do so at once;
for before the end of the year. depend upon it, Mr.
