PROGRESS OF FANATAclsM.- There is no animal SO

condescend to incline her ear unto reason But

he ever 80 wisely Parson Cheever was not salts
he'd with exhibiting his intolerance at the Taberna
Gle. He repeated his address at his own church in
Allen street, last evening We are heartily sorry,
that our gentle chastisement has had no effect on
the meek spirit of Parson Cheever. His want of
docility must be cassed in the same category with
deaf to our words of coincidence, and turned up
his nose at box of the best Prneipesl that ever
loaded the evening gale with their fragrance
Ascend hearing of Mr.. Cheever's address, has
not improved our opinion of its merits. Itpresents
curious admixture of good sense and foly-charity
and intolerance-piety and the rankest bigotry.
Mr.. Cheever's principles, it would seem, have been
gathered like the paragraphs in his address, from the
four winds OF heaven. The discourse is made up of
scraps from all sources-from writers sacred and
writers proane-from writers in prose and writers in
verse. His sentiments are equally diversified in
a martyred patriot, to Others which would add in
fanny to an inquisitoral butcher Mr.. Cheever's
great failing consists in his inability to take an en-
larged and comprehensive view of his subject. He
sees it only in detail, and an accurate perception Of
those is unfortunately often prevented by his
prejudces and feelings In attempting to discuss the
question What constitutes State?", Mr.. Cheever
has brought with him all those sectarian views and
clerical prejudices which have unhappily so often
prevented the occupants of the pulpit from taking
useful part in the examination Of important topics
connected with the science of politics.
But we will allow the public to Judge for them
selves ofhe liberaty and charity and good sense of
the Rev. Mr.. Cheever, by presenting them with the
following extracts from his address = >

in the unprincpled employed by the demon of par

beneath such But to think Of these dregs from
the purd sinks of Europe being bought at price here
by party spirit-oh is most enormous most unsufer

After Mr.. Cheever had done, man in the Sum
day clothes of mechanic, got up in the front OF
the gallery, and said he had got something to say.
Mr.. Cheever then hastily gave out hymn, and the
leader of the choir struck up lively air very

very pretty girls, dressed not altogether with puri-
tanica preciseness, but on the contrary attired in
something of the style of the daughters of Jerusa

wisest of Kings. After the hymn, the congregation
dispersed, but the man who had arisen, and who

short discourse in the lobby, which was principally
directed against the "unholy priesthood who caused
