have no compass to consult, no pole star to OBJ
serve, no chart to direct their Use, sound
ing line to enable them to ascertain their posi-
ton, so those politicians who are governed
by impulse and desire, of domination and the
love of Office for lucre's sake alone. What care
they for their solemn oath and obligation to sus-
tain the Constitution of their country? What
regard have they fer her laws, and the genius of
her institutions? What reverence have they for
the memories of the great and patriotic founder
of the republic? What regard do they entertain
for the lessons of political wisdom which they in
culcated?
How holow-hearted, how selfish, how corrupt,

shroud the political horizon? Reform must be
carried forward, the ark of our liberties is lost

TUESDAY, NAY 6, 1856.

1t has been remarked, and with truth, that as
well might the Author of the Christian rell'
gion be held responsible for the excuses and
fanaticism of some of its pretended disciples
as the advocates of the Kansas bill, for the
perversion Of its principles by its most deadly
enemies Pioneer.
se1~ Now if that is not nonsense we should
like to see nonsense illustrated in a compen.
dious form. 1t is laundering attempt to de.
duce the consequences Of a sustained analogy,
from a comparison Of propositions between
which there is an opposition OF meaning, amount
ing to positive anlithess. If the writer had
said that Christ might as we'll be held respon-
sible for the excuses Of his fanatical disciples,
as Douglas & Co. for the violence OF his fol-
lowers-there would lave been. at least, logic
al consistency in the argument.
There is not only no analogy, but a forced
and obvious incongruty between the excessive
zeal Of bigoted devotees and the opposition of
determined enemies. Indeed it is perfectly
impossible to preserve the semblance OF logic
al congrui,y in his argument and at the same
ucuuCc al IilieIeIlCc ~ liC du-
thors of the Kansas bill, unless he completes
the analogy by attrbuting the Kansas troubles
to the blind and furious partizans Of those gen.
tlamen authors aforesaid. Indeed the Pioneer
writer has no other Choice If the irresponsi-
bilty of the author Of the Christian Religion,
for the violence of his fanatica followers proves
anything for Douglas and Slavery extension, i,
proves that they are not responsible 70: the vio-
lence O.! ;,,.cir border rnfiian devotees--a pain
full implication, doubtless, as against the same
border ruffians-but irresistible and unavoida-
bic. Will the Pioneer collect the shattered
fragments Of his argument and reconstruct it
on the legitimate principles Of analogy, and
give us a more particular account of the re-
semblance between the fanalical devotees Of a
false Christianity, and the furious aud intem-
perate adhcrents Of the false prophets OF Slave
nv?
