If passion is to lay its violent hand upon the great in- terests of this Republic ; if passion only is to utter its voice upon the momentous and agitating questions that 15 are rising before us, where are we to look for safety 1 Why is it that we are anxious about the tariff question, Oregon, annexation of Texas, possible war with Eng- land, or the very Union itself, but for this reason main- ly — that we fear that no thoughts of responsibility to God, no solemn conscience, no deep calmness and... con- sideration, no single regard to the general good, will enter into these high matters of public debate ? There are difficulties pertaining to these subjects, no doubt ; but the great difficulties are not intrinsic ; they do not lie in the questions themselves, but they lie in us, in our legislators and rulers. I am attempting to bring the feeling of conscience and religion into our political relations ; to show you that the sense of God's authority, as it should come every where, should come here also, and here pre-emi- nently.
