MILLERISM DISAVOW ED.

On Tuesday evening in the Milerite
church, corner of Chryste and Delaney
streets, Mr.. Storrs publicly rccanted his
gorgeous folly and madness in the matter
OF the second advent. He said what 9th
ers indeed, besides his congregation, had
already found out, he was deceived as TO
the day of The second advent. He said
he had been led astray by excitement and
deceived by mssmerism and now most
pentently acknowledged his manifold sins
and wickedness. He now exhored them
to stick to work, &c.
Hines next took his stand in the con.
iessionaI, and forgetting, we presume. that
he bad been both The deceived and the de-
celver, rated the people pretty harshly for
their lniatuatlon, and urged them all to 90
home and to work aud stepped down from
the rostrun. Storrs has also acknowl
edged his error in the Midnight Cry, but
we do not remember seeing any thing there
about mesm9hmi
This is tolerably cool. Confession is
easy, but how is restitution to be made /:
Perhaps the leaders think they have furn-
ished as much excitement as could be OK
pecled at the price,-.N Y. Gem. ate.

IMP ORTANT DECISION--DISCHARG OF A

The Boston Post of Monday contains report OF

of the Supreme Court, on Friday last, which rs OF

thence ordered to the port of Boston, where she

Two points presented for discussion, viz;
First, to the clam of the Commander Of the fri

Their his having been brought nvoluntariy within The
limits Of Massachusetts, without the consent OF bis
master, who was about TO return TO Virginia, the
Court coull interfere TO set him free.
Judge Shaw decided that although Lucas was law

the rigate, the right of the cmmander to his

rial limits Of slavery, and were al an end whenever
the services 10 be performed took him out Of these

In relation to the second point, the Judge he'd that

THE MORMONS AND TIE MlLLERITES.

Il is truly amenable that in the nineteenth cen
tury there should be found such ignorant and deu-
ded people these and IL is likewise a source of
regret, that no matter how nonsensicsl belief or
creed may be, originated or invented by individuals
possessing not particle Of common sense, but deep
y imbued with knavery a desire for pecunary
gain il will find followers. The Millerites and Nor
mons are now, seems striving for the mastery; and
the result either SIDE, will best be determined by
the distress which they may severslly occasion in
community and the lowest possible disgrace TO which
they may reduce their victims.
