 MR. Ep1ToK :-The subject of MilIerisnn, for the past two weeks has been the all expressing topic C, conversation in this place and its vicinity. Thy I-. A--. l..- habtans, not only of village, but from the ada- cent villages and towns some attending to gratify

 -iT propensity fer novelty others, seriously dspo- sed, to ascertain the theory and enets of Miller as expounded by his disciples, and then to draw their own unbiased inferences. The gentleman who ad- dressed us firstly, was not remarkably happy in his illustrations. and the prospect of obtaining proselyte not very cheering. But if the one, who timely came to his Tsef has not succeeded any better ina carrying convie.ion ts the mind, he has certainly treated the subject in much more agreeable and err tertaning msnneE-

 These gentlemen are very zeslous in-the endeavor to enforce their doctrines, and arc inclined to, think, sincere; but that they are laborng under a. maniaca hallucination instuation of mind we are also inclined to believe. If we correctly informed one of them is a man of considerable wealth. and js now appropriating it to the extension and promusa- ton of his belief We hope, if the predictions of Mil Ter are not true land tine alone can determine ,Eay those whe have induced him thus to dispose of bis property. will not forget to restore it, in the time of need. We are not of that number who are disposed. in any wise to rdicue the sentiments sincerely en- tertaned by others; and trust we are not % ere. dulous as to believe all that is sincerely told us foy truth, without due consideration.

 This is a subject of so grave nature, that i. is highly calculated enforced with zeal and elo4uencs, to take strong hold of our feelings and passonr and therefore we should Do our guard, and not permit them to obtain supremacy our reasoning powes for we know they become aroused and excited in the same proportion as our reason abates and we arc sbls to bs mperceptby led along, till we find our- sevss plunged into the most opposite and absurd ex. trenes without guide. Instances of this kind have not been unfrequent. The followers of Mahomes we're influenced by his powerful faculty of exciting alternately. their hops fear and hasEed as his own caprice prompted him - and were easily persuaded to commit the mOet brutal Outragss By the forcibls and eloquent appeals of Peter the Hermit to the pas sions of men, oil Europe joined in the Crusade to Pa. esne to wage war with the Infdels; and in our own country numerous secta, by like influences have rseR and dourished for season, and then died away.

 Many and various are the constructions and inter. pretations of the scriptures and from this disunion of sentiment in relation to them arise the different opn. ions entertained by the evangelical churches not only in regard to the ceremonies worship. but in matters of different nature. For instance, some entertain the opinion that we have already entered upon the millennium others hold the reverse of this and con. tend that much time must yet eapse and o1 refer to the bible. to substantiate their different views

 We not ready to say that the world is not con, ing to an end next year. for it is wrapped up in F future, and is not known to us, nor even" to q angels in heaven" but to jus. God onlys A

 It IS. in our opinion. an assumption too bold. who have but recently undertaken to cOmuf' practical portions of the bible. to atternp. toi and set at naught the conclusions of co6.a:, eminent for their exalted pisty and prof..r.
