This is the name of a new sect of Christians
(which has lately sprung up in Connecticut, and
Ivhose proselytes arc rapidly spreading over the
(Eastern States and the State of New York. A
bortion of the brethren held a protracted meeting
bt Albany week before last, and made many con
certs. They had a large tent pitched on Arbor
Hill, which measured one hundred and forty feet
diameter, was one hundred feet high, and
lield over four thousand people. The Rev. Mr.
itch, one of their ministers, spoke upwards of
two hours, on Friday a week, to an attentive audi-
fence, and in a very learned and elaborate address
fcndeavoured to prove, from Scripture tests, that
the end of recorded time would take place on the
23d of April, 18 H. We believe that this is the
silly point of faith in which they differ from other
leligious denominations; so that all of their mem
bers may still remain in full communion with their
former churches. In our opinion this is. the least
Objectionable of all the new sects which have
Eprung up in modern times. It teaches men to
hink of the nearness of their approach to death,
nd thus humbles ihem before Goo and their fel-
Ilows. For our own part, we do not think that the
fullness or time mentioned by our Great Master
has yet arrived, or is near at hand. Or if it had,
kve know that the Bible does not furnish a clue to
hnan to ascertain its date; for it is expressly writ-
hen that that event shall come as a thief in the
EnMit, when it shall least be expected. Yet many
who now live in imagined security, may have
.time ended to them even before the 23d of April,
puid as we are especially commanded to live with
Rhe fear of death always before us, it might be
Ivell for us all if we had a httle more Millerism
in our composition.
Affairs at Washington.
At our latest accounts, nothing definitely had
hnen fixed uDon for the relief of the country, at
Washington. Several attempts had been made
L - ' ' . ' t
v his: Members to take up ana pass tne veioea
Tariff Bill, with the exception of the 27th section,
which alludes to the division of the public lands,
ill nf which wptp dfirpntprl hv the combined voles
reported at Washington, by the friends of Mr. Ty
ler, that he will not sign any Bill which the Whigs
may pass, which will give protection to American
Tndusirv. Some of our friends think it useless
therefore to spend any more time in preparing
another Bill for him to kill. Others, however, are
determined that they will not desist until they
have tried every expedient to give relief to a suf
fering1 people'. Mr. Adams' Report upon the Ve
to, which we insert entire in to-days Republican,
is an able paper, and should be read by every free
man in the land'. It contains the right doctrine,
and shows up the narrow and selfish policy to
which the' traitor Tyler, wishes to sacrifice the
country.
Clay Meeting.
Our friends in Northampton county, who are in
favor of Henry Clay, for the next Presidency,
had a large and enthusiastic meeting at the Court
House, in Easton, on Tuesday of last week. The
Hon. Samuel Yohe, presided, and a series of able
and spirited Resolutions were introduced by A. E.
Brown, Esq. Delegated were also appointed to
the Harrisbuig Clay Convention which meets on
the 14th of September. One jqf the Resolutions
xecommended the Hon. John Banks, as a suitable
candidate for the Vice Presidency.
A New Orleans musquitoe got mad at some
thing, swallowed a poter out of spite; broke the
hind legs, of an old lorn cat, smashed a looking
glass, and run off with a.hind quarter of mutton,
after killing a Frenchman.
The Grand Jury of Albany have found an in
dictment against Rev. Abel Brown for a libel
on Henry Clay in advertising to prove, in a
public lecture that Mr. Clay was a 'thief, duel
list, gambler, robber, adulterer, man-stealer,' &c.
The reverend gentleman will now have an op
portunity to prove his infamous charges or to
suffer the punishment for his villanous slanders.
To Cools. Cucumbers.
Pare off the rind, theri cut the cucumber into
slices, lengthwise, dust either side of these slices
with corn meal or wheat flour, pepper and salt
them to please your taste; this done, fry them
brown, and you will have one of the most deli
cious dishes that you. can imagine, combining in
their flavor those of the oyster plant and egg plant.
Of their healthfulness, thus cooked, there can bo
no Question, and of their palatableness, it is only
necessary that you try them, to say with us that
they are exquisite

Mesmerism.
The following facts wo had from the husband
of the patient: Mrs. Irkson has been confined
since May last, at which time she had lost her
infant child, with that most painful disease call
ed the Milk Leg. .She had, in all that time
been unable to sit in a chair, more than ten min
utes at a time. About a week ago she was
mesmerised by Dr. Ewingapd kept in this state
about two hours. During this, sleep her hus
band left her with tho family, .to visit his office
on business. On his return his wife was going
about the house, and has ever since attended to
her household affairs, doing the work thereof
without the aid of a servant, with more strength
she thinks than she had before taken sick. If
mesmerism will cure such diseases, there must
be something in if. . Pitts. D. Amer.
Cholera Morbus and CSiolcra Infan
tum. At this season of the year,, when cholera mor
bus and cholera infantum daily carries .off scores
of children, we apprehend we shall be. doing the
public an acceptable service in promulgating the
following efficient remedy for those prevalent and
fatal diseases. The. antidote is a sure one, and
will not hurt the most delicate infant,, if judgment
is used in prescribing the quantity: lake. a hand
full of peach leaves, put them in cold water, and
steqp them about- ten or fifteen minutes, without
boiling; then sweeten the liquid with loaf sugar,
and give it in small draughts, as the patient can
bear it a table spoonful at a time, once in two
hours, to an mlant of six or eight month old, cr
oftener, if the extremity of the case requires.

"Take three buckets full of water, four onions,

and put them in a large kettle, over the smoke.

and acid one pint' of fine salt.
