MILLERIsM.-By some of the believers
in the immediate advent of Christ, the 18th
inst. has been predicted as the day of
that momentous event.
VERY MoDEsr.-Martin Van Buren, has
written another letter in which he Gays
that in 1910 treason was dethroned and
whirlwind Of passion, folly and madness
swept through the land"-and that the
election of that year ''lowered the charac-
ter of our people in the estimation of man.
| kind" In other words. Mr. Van Buren,
tells the people that they were fools for
not electing him! We fancy that such
an insult TO the American people will not
help him in ls44.

MIR Van Buren, is a Northern man with
sIayeocratic principles, who sells the rights
of the North TO the South for votes, and
pledges himself in advance 10 veto any
action against slavery in the District.
The difference is worth nothing.

President of Mexico for five years, since
his recent election. The party opposed to
him it would appear are defeated, but they
will not remain quiet.
Support your O,On country papers.-The
competition of the mammoth New York pa
pers is ruinously affecting the country press.
Those politicians who are endeavoring to
force the circulation of city papers, simply
because they are furnished cheap, are doing
more TO break down than to build up their
party. There can be no efficient local or
ganization without local newspapers. And
without efficient local organizations no party
can succeed. We are therefore surprized at
the conduct Of those leading politicians who
are endeavoring to crowd off local papers be-
cause city printers can send out larger papers
at cheaper rates.-Protector.
LO'ceH.-Business prospects, in this city
of Spindles, were never more flattering than
at the present time. The Locks and Canals
Company are erecting buildings which will
soon add another incorporated company to
the eleven now in existence, and another
million of capitol stock to the eleven millions
already invested. The Cotton Mills consume
weekly, eleven hundred bales Of cotton, and
manufacture million and half yards of
cloth; the wooden consume about twenty
thousand pounds Of wool, and manufacture
about nine thousand yards of cashmere and
eighteen hundred yards Of broadcloth. The
opeir cctives in all the mills receive about thir-
weight TIL usand dollars per week.-Wasl-

Netc Hampshire-We learn that the re-
cent prosecutions in Srafford County, N. Fl.
are producing thorough reform. Most of
the rum-sellers pay their fines and give up
the business. Some of them however. choose
to 60 to Jail, and two Of them are safely lock-
ed up at Dover. One rumseller in Sommers-
worth was fined / 100 dollars. He was an
obdurate sinner in his way. But law has
conquered him at last, and thus effected what
moral sH0sion had failed to DON II. Pa

II. C. Idylor.-The Cleveland (O.) Her
aid states that the Grand Jury of Lorain
County, have found sixteen bills Of indictment
against IL. c. Taylor, late editor of the Ober-
lin Evangelist to most if not all of which it
Is understood he will plead guilty.
The last Erpedient.-Mr. Hines now, the
2lst OF March being at hand, in his Mid
night Cry" takes the ground that the Miller ,
ties are in the position of the sailor who had
ouf-ran his reckoning, but must be very near
his port-in effect, that the advent" must
be very near, &c. But the BOOKS are not all (,
sold, and the managers of this deception are
not ready to exclaim "Where should Othel- I
10 go!"
A portion Of the Abolitionists in Massachu- /,
