We are just now enveloped in q new, strange,
moral, and novel excitement (Miilersm), that
somewhat abates the political fever with which
many OF us hereabouts have been attacked and
harrassed; but there isno doubt that relapse will
soon and speedily recur, and OF type, too, that
will require the most prompt and JudlcIous treat
ment eIiciting all the tact and skill In the manage
ment Of the case, that possibly can be brought
forth, even with the aid OF the learned, great prac-
tical, and long experienced physician. DR.. }. C-k,
In continuation of the subject of Millerism, it
may be remarked that the encampment consists OF
twenty tents and shanties, beautifully arranged in
quarter OF a mile north Of Fasin g.on, and two
miles west Of Morrisville, on the Delaware. The
preachers are Itch, Fitch, Curry, Chandler, &c,
to the number of eight or nine The doctrine IS
pretty much the same as that heretofore preached
by Father Miller, with the exception Of not now
defining the special time of the destruction OF the
world which is all very well. They are extremely
Jealous and ardent in enforcing their views and
doctrinal points, nervlng themselves up 10 their
declarations with the most powerful scrip,ural
texts. as enthusiasts generally do. Personae NEST
said Of the Mlerltes, that they have, and are yet,
receiving their full measure OF this all current and
common coin, SANDER, which 10 always freely pas
sing at very considerable PREMIUM; the advances
are usually in proportion to the active and rapid
exchanges that are made in, through, and with the
populace. 1t is well known TO every one who has
been engaged in business, how easily ISLANDERS are
invented, how readily circulated, with what credu-
k.t,. ituV hnv
very reluctantly the hearers yield to the most
thorough refutation. 1t is therefore, to be feared
and deprecated that there are many religious sects
and denominations who are now guilty OF slander
ing and at the same time manfestly rejoicing that
the MIllerite's predicted time OF the second advent
has been prolonged, SO that their new doctrine
may be utterly oyerthrown and destroyed;
We have had an elopement case IN addition to
other exctemenis in our vicinity, which passed of
successfully. A young merchant oil Columbia,
Wisconsin, came In our midst, and TOOK ms rrst
cousin to Bristol, and were married by the Epsco-
pal minister Of that borough, and are now ready 10
proceed TO the far west. Good luck attend them.
The drought still continues, but as yet has not
materially injured any thlng. The farmers de-
plore il on account OF the difficulty they sustain IN
being unable to plough much for their fall seeding;
and tquesirians deplore II from being annoyed by
the dust created by their movements. On the
other hand, II gives them leisure 10 attend the
mass monster, and camp meetings, which are
weekly held in our section Of The county.
Pole raising is another device to entice our in
dustrous farmers and Others into the arena OF po.
litics; and is becoming, very fashionable, even
among that ancient and venerable society, the
Quak many OF whom have cut the finest ash
trees on their FARMS tor the purpose of celebrating
and making knoT their public love and faith for
Harry Of the West!' Strange that men who,
in past times had always been hostile to oppression
in any form--who have ever been found battling
in favor OF equality and the rights OF man--who
have always been opposed to The institution OF
slavery, and by whose exertions it was first abo-
lished in the North should now be found in the
ranks of stakeholder! Spirits OF Penn and Fox !!

Colonel John Swift, Nathan Sargent, (Oliver
Oldschool,) c. Gibbons, Esq, and others OF the
party which advocates the principle OF protection
that protection which will make the rich richer,
and the poor poorer-are out among US, doing all
they can in favor Of Whiggery, with but ltt'e
success; for the principles Of democracy are too
flrmly rooted TO be shaken in old bUx.
