The natural efloct of '. Vorldlv prospcritv, iii- dividiially or collectively, is to mak(3 men feel their own siifHciency, '• to be full, deny him, and say who is the Lord, " and that we have actually arrived at that guilty climax, CJod himself being judge by this event, is there not more than a strong presumption ? He surely does not needlessly interpose in such visi- tations, but acts with wisdom, in all cases, from rea- sons the highest and best. It is as true of nations as of individuals, t...hat " he does not aflliet willingly, nor grieve the children of men, " but for their profit. We have suddenly as a nation sprung into exist- ence, and as suddenly almost, have reached an emi- nence, to w^hich nothing, but the most unparalleled combination of flivoral)le circumstances, could have conducted us. Upborne on the full tide of prosperity, we have ca- reered onward, to gigantic greatness, in the unchecked and successful operation, of boundless resources and salutary laws, distinguished by every thing that can possibly make a nation great, by institutions and priv- ileges, enjoyed by no other ; it would be useless to attempt to conceal the alarming fact that we have grown great too, in transgression.
