But Mr.. HEDGES says that there is an
intimate connection between abolitionisn
and Infdelity, and says he defes us tc
prove the assertion untenable If he is
correct, we think Infdelity has no need
to blush-at least, for the sentiment
There may be some methods Of enforcing
their doctrines, advocated by abolition.
lists, which are Objectionable and wrong,
but the sentiment Of abolitionism-the
respect for the natural rights of all men,
the detestation of Slavery-this would
'ennoble, not detract from, any cause and
if Inidelity follows, as Mr.. HEDGES says
it does, the growth of such sentiments,
then we say il is born of no unworthy
parent. ,n.
But is this love of natural rights ne.
cessarily connected with Infdelity ? We
are surprised that Mr. HEDGES should SC
confidently defy us to prove the contrary,
because, as we have once before said
let him prove his position correct, and
he would do much for Infdelity. We
are free to confess that, so far as our OBJ
servation goes, Infdels very generally
seem to possess an adherence of slav-
cry. But it is not always so. Neither
is it true that abolitionism leads to Inf
deity. 1t is not true as to this county,
as to our whole country, or as 10 other
countries What will the editor do with
all the abolitionists of Europe = with
BEECHER, CHAPLIN, CHEEvER, BELLOWS,
TYING, and host of clergymen through
out the North-and with the entire mem
bership Of Wesleyan Methodist and Free
Presbyterian Churches throughout oul
country, many of whom reside in oul
own county These men have no sym.
pathy with Infdelity, and yet they abhol
slavery with as much intensity as GAR.
RIsoN. Even PHILLIPS, GARRISON, PAR.
KER and SMITH are not Infidels, although
they denounce the orthodox church as a
great ally of slavery. The love Of free.
dom is not to be narrowed down to sects
or creeds, especially in Protestant coun.
tries, and the editor of the Civilian is
essentially lame in making such an ar
gument
The Buchanan County guardian. (Independence, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1858-1864, 1860-03-15

E9s- Under this head, our neighbor Of
the Civilian is so inconsistent, SO illogi-
cal, in his last weeks issue, that while
Indignantly protesting against the as
sumption that Mr.. DoUGLAs is trying TO
curry favor with the South, he yet de-
votes whole column, not in reply to
any arguments used by the men whom
be pleases to term Abolitionists, but in
an onslaught upon their motives. Grant
ing that we were unjust in asserting that
Mr.. DOUGLASS proposed Sedition Law
was profered, as we believe his bill re-.
pealing the Missouri Compromise was
profered, TO gain Southern support, how
much more amenable are we TO criticism
than Mr.. DOUGLAS himself, who, through
out the speech in question, did little else
than impugn the motives of the Repub-
lieans, charging them with an intent to
violate the sovereignty of sister states,
and 10 overturn the pillars of the Union ?
Or how much more just is the editor him
self, who assumes that CARL ScHURz and
his co adjutors are insincere when they
consider the question of slavery in the
light of morality? Is it not strange that
Mr.. HEDGES should SO totally ignore the
constant attacks which are and have been
made upon the motives of Republican
leaders and the Republican party by the
organs and orators of his own party, and
yet SO pathetically deprecates these things
in his opponents He knows, as well as
we know, that Douglas Democrats. es-
pecially, have met Republican arguments
and Republican demands with persistent
sneers at their mock philanthropy, at their
assumed respect for natural rights. And
be knows, too. that in this very article OF
his under consideration he has travelled
entirely outside Of the subject under dis
cnssion, and insisted upon dragging into
it the religious preferences of men, in
order to excite against them the bigot's
zeal. Whatever may be the method o.
Republican attack, we hope it may never
present SO unjusti6able a phase as this.
Are truths any the less truths, any the
less worthy of acceptance, because they
are uttered by one man rather than by
another? Was the golden rule any the
less bright and perfect a rule of action
when written by CoNFUCIUs, than when
uttered by CHRIST five centuries after
wards Were the sentiments of liberty,
SO nobly uttered by JEFFERSON, any the
less worthy of regard because uttered by
sceptic, than ii they bad been written
by one full in the Orthodox faith ? We
think not, and if not, why should mems
faith any more affect truth now? 1t is
the mans political sentiments with which.
in this discussion, we have 10 deal, not
with his religion. Ii these sentiments
are wrong. attack them; if not. don't
take the resort of the bigot 10 counteract
them

4g The Chicago election resulted in
the triumph of the Republicans by about
1,9So majority. This election excited
much interest throughout the Union, as
it was supposed to demonstrate, to some
extent, DOUGLASS strength in the State.
The canvass was very warm one, and
although WENTWORTH, the Republican
candidate for Mayor. was supposed to be
unpopular. yet he and the Republican
ticket is elected by even greater MAORI
ties than heretofore.
