B FanaticiSm has been the cause of
more trouble and disaster than all the
other evils that atilict mankind. John
Brown, like Guiteau, imagined he was
commissioned by the Lord to liberate the
slaves of the South and his fanaticism
plunged the nation into Il fratricidal war
that sent million Of souls into eternity,
and finally eliminated in the assassina-
ton of President.
Guiteau was infatuated the same way
and thought he was selected as an instru-
ment in the hands of the Diety 10 commit
great crime, and thus bring sorrow up
on nation and thinks that Dicty will take
care of him. So Brown thought and he was
brought to the gallows on the LIST of De-
cem6er, 1859. Now, let the same fate
await Guiteau and he will get his just
deserts. "Offences must needs come, but
woe unto that man by whom the offence
cometh." 1t would have been coinci.
dence if this assassin had been executed

TO TILE BOSS CHANGERS


Mr.. Editor see that most of the
Grange talk is through your paper, there
fore | ask the favor of you to allow me 10
make some inquiries.
Does becoming a member OF the order
change or correct the weaknesses and evils
Of our nature? There are doubtless good
men anG bad men farmers: some who will
act from, and who will adhere 70 princi-
pie, let the sacrifice or gain be what it
NAV. Then again there are another class
of men who are always on the QCI WYE
ready to jump from principle 10 gain,
either of money or position; this class
generally enjoy but Il temporary transport.
Is there anything in their obligation
when would or ought 10 restrain them
from doing Il wrong act? We all know
that each pursuit in life has its commune
" interest which is common to al. alike,
and we also know Is Il business and philO-
sophie axiom that in unity of action there
is strength.
Now the gist of my Inquiry is whether
the farmers have business experience
enough to comprehend the drift Of the
SPECTATOR W no sees and knows that his
gains are in their product.
VIII the chief men Of the order answer
the following enquiries:-
LIST. Does the obligation of the order
bind YOU to favor or protect the interest
Of your fellow member?
End. Are trusts coutidcd properly re-
spccted or are they used To further per-
sonal ends?
| will only add this last question en-
bodies TIE seltishneSS of our nature which
is the point for correction. Mems errors
are mostly Of the head and generally have
to be corrected in the school OF experience
which is often very costly.
Yours, FARMER.
