But not content With this poor menace,
which We have been Twice told was ..meas-
ured," the Senator In the unrestrained chiy-
airy of his nature, has undertaken to apply
cpprobrious words to those who differ from

usurpation in Kansas, he Idenounces as "an
uncalcuIating fanatioism.n To be sure,
these charges lack ar grace Of originality,
and all sentiment Of Truth; but the adventu-
rous Senator does not hesitate. He is the
uncompromising, unblushing representative

Sir, fanaticism is found in an enthusiasm or
exaggeration OF opinions, particularly on
religious subjects; but there may. be ia
naticism for evil as well as for good. Now,
will not deny, that there are, persons
among us loving Liberty too we'll for their
personal good, in asel6sh generation. Such
