is not always fully appreciated
when unadorned by some graces
of style, they then ripped up the
ticking Of a feather bed, and gave
lightness and ornament by shaking
out the feathers over the sticky
political disputant. These, how
ever, were only the major and the.
minor premises Of the Democratic
syllogism, and there was something
so glutinous in the form chat the
conclusion would not come out.
To overcome this difficulty they
took n long rail from a hedge and
split down a portion of its middle
part. Several pure worshippcrs
of liberty and freedom and unfet-
tered discussion upheld one end Of
this rail and Others equally ener-
gctic upheld the other. Whether
this material logical process was a
synthesis or an analysis, IN induc-
ton or a deduction, is a question
we refer to Aristotle or Thomas
Aquinas, or Aldrich, or A Archbishop
Whately, or Mr.. Buckle, but upon
it that feathered and adhesive
biped, to wit, Ambrose Kimball,
was placed astride. He was seated
just in the middle Of the rail, where
it had been split, and where by the
natural law the slit, with its sharp
edges, would widen with the impo-
sition Of his weight. Having got
him thus, not exactly upon the
horns Of a dilemma, but upon the
sharp edges Of this incisive sorites,
they bore him along, and, after
many vibrations, so strongly was
the argument borne in upon him,
that we are told che recanted,
promising to publish no more arti-
cles in favor Of secession" We
implore the survivors of the great
authorities on dialectics whom we
have cited to give a name to this
new form Of ratiocination as prac-
tised in this pure Democracy, for it
has an advantage never claimed by
any logician for the old "arS ipstrN-
mc0taljs diligcnS mcntem in cogaiH-
one rcrNm." 1t produced instant
conviction, and ITaverhilI is now
not only purely Democratical, but
absolutely unanimous as to all
matters political.
Pure Democracy is not so poor
in invention that the tar the fcath-
ers and the rail are The only three
steps to conviction. Wherever
there is a minority there is a ncccs.
sity for Democratic logic, and
whenever that necessity occurs it is
met by a great fertility of cxpcdi.
cnts. We recently published 4
longlist Of argumentative processes
by which newspapers, which must
have represented the sentiments o.
great multitudes-or otherwise il
a country like America they could
not have eXistcd-have been con.
WINGED or the fallacy of their own
arguments. These processes are
now called by the vulgar names o.
"mobbmgs," "warnings," govern.
mental seizures" "stoppages at the
postotfice," and such like.

Friends of truth-Biblo truth
hear We "what the Spirit saith unto
the Churches" and do what you
can to circulate the Word of Life,

TO THE FRIEEDS OF THE AMERICAN
BIBLE SOCIETY.
The undersigned has been appointed the
successor of Rev. j.. S. Galloway, as Agent
of the American Bible Society for Sonth-
Western Ohio, embracing in his field Of
labor the following counties: Hamilton,
Butler, Prcble, Darke, and eighteen other
Southwestern counties. Having an ardent
desire to promote the interests of the Bible
cause in the field assigned me, / would most
earnestly invoke the sympathy and regard
of all, while | profer my services in all
practicable ways. The officers of the various
auxiliary societies will confer a favor on mo
by giving timely notice Of the anniversary
meetings, and SO far as it is practicable /
will render any service in my power.
The Parent Society is at present greatly
in need Of funds. The demands Of the
army for the Word Of Life, and the strong
calls from abroad, especially from Turkey,
including Bulgaria, China, Germany, France,
Italy, etc., require increased liberality on
the part of the friends of the cause. In q
recent letter from the Parent Society, it is
stated, 'In three months ofthe past season
we issued from this house on each working
day between four and five thousand volumes
of Scriptures, being about eight volumes
each minute of working time. We have de-
liyered since the fall of Sumter, for volun-
teers, four hundred thousand volumes of the
Word of God, besides supplying the navy, as
opportunity offered. Our outlay Of funds
has been and will be great our receipts
the last two months oNE.HALr Of the CORE
spending months of the past year. Ou
NEED IS GREAT.
In view of the above facts, will not the
friends of the Bibleca manifest increased
libcrality in their contributions? Surely they
will. Donations for the supply Of the army
and the foreign work, will be gratefully re-

Hob Violence in Massachusetts.


One of the Roman emperors
gave a philosopher a little state
wherein to reduce to practice the
Platonic theory of perfect repub-
lie. We are told that after n sutii-
cient probation the philosopher re-
appeared in the imperial presence
Jagged and beaten, and implored
an opportunity of continuing the
experiment under the protection
OF a small army. Upon u larger
scale, but with u less perfect theo-
%retical purity, we have seer the
same experiment tried in our time.
We can see now it fulflIs the
promise made in its behalf. We
are not talking now about material
advantages we are speaking only
c. the supremacy Of the mind over
n,attCr, of the freedom of thought,
of the u~idisturbed action of tenn
perate reason, of the liberty Of
moderate perSnasions, Of the toler-
alton Of discussion. We are, in
deed, speaking only GA small por-
ton even OF this; for We desire
only to point attention how, in the
purest Democracy which the world
has ever known, fares the liberty
Of political discussion by the news
paper press.
AT Haverhill, in Massachusetts,
there was a political discussion be.
tween the Democrat and some op-.
posing newspaper as to the politl-
cal bearings of the American civil
war. We assume that the men of
Massachusetts were in doubt upon
the point in dispute for, if their
minds had been settled, of course
they would have been satisfied to
let both papers say what they
pleased. The mode they took to
resolve their doubts was this First,
they lay in wait for Mr.. Ambrose
KimbaII the editor of the Haver-

him, they stripped him of his
clothes, and brought him near to
a cauldron ofhot tar. By a liberal
application of this unctuous sub
stance they at once accorded him
a substitute for the clothes they
had taken from him and quickened
his apprehension Of political prin-.
cipleS. But al even pure reason

The Last Retreat.
BY J. ~oBLlNCER.

What though no anxious throng attcad
To witness my expiring breath
What though in solitude I end
Ny days on earth, and sink in death
Assinks a pebble in the main-
A bubble and a ripplcd wave,
And all is still and calm again
Above the unrelonting grave;
Yet will my rest be just as sweet,
As if with all the "pomp of woe
l had been borne to my retreat,
And crowned with honor empty show.
What though no marble column rear
Its sculptured shaft above my head;
What though no sympathetic tear
In sorrow DER my grave be shed;
Yet will the sun as brightly shine,
As swcetly will the roses bloom
Upon hat tenement Of mine
The last retreat-the silent tomb,
AS IL a monument OF SOld,
Bodeckcd with gems, adorned my bed,
And sounding art-wrought phrases told
A splendid story of the dead.
What though l leave behind 70 trace
To tell of great deeds nobly done;
What though no ~triumphs mark the race
OF life when it is fully run;
Yet will the record CONF to light,
And all its secrets be revealed,
When Wrong can be no longer Right,
And Error TO Truth is forced to yield
When earthly glory fades away,
And all its grandeur disappears,
The good which men despise to-day,
VIII shine through Gods eternal years;

ra-Wc have great pleasure in
calling the attention of our readers
to the following appeal from the
American Bible Society. I'VE need
not say, that the Bible is Gods
message of warning, mercy, and
salvation to his fallen and SHINING
creature man. What would this
world be without the Bible, but q
hell of woe. And what would
men be without a Revelation from
God, but hopeless, wanderers on
the road to the darkness of despair.
