*isely and decide for themselves boldly and firm
ly which is the better way, to rise in arms and
throw off a government worse than that of old
King George, or endure it another four years
and then vote again.
Such is the spirit —such the love to the Con
stitution and Union of these States with which
this religious element has entered into and seeks
to control our party politics.
But we deceive ourselves if we suppose that
our present dangers are of a birth so recent as
1856. As the questions now before the country I
rise in their magnitude above all party interests 1
and ought at once to blot out all party lines, so ■
their origin is found far back of all party organ- I
izations as they now exist.
An article published twenty years ago in the ,
Prii ceton Review, contains this remarkable ;
language
“The opinion that slaveholding is itself a crime
mud ojH-rate to produce the disunion of the
States and the division of all ecclesiastical soci- !
eties in this country. Just so far as this opin
ion operates, it will lead those who entertain it
to submit to any sacrifices to carry it out and
give it effect. \\ e shall become two nations in
feeling, which must soon render us two nations
in fiict.”
I’hese words arc wonderfully prophetic, and
tl < * who read the signs of the times must see
that the period ol their fulfillment draws near.
In regard to ecclisi urtical societies the division
foretold is already in a great measure accom
plished. Three of our great religious denomi
nation-. have been rent in twain by the simple
qik stion, “Is slaveholding a sin?"
It yet remains to be seen whether the Amer
ican Tract Society ami the American Board of
Foreign Missions will be revolutionized and di
m nished by a contest which, we are told, is to
be annually renewed. In regard to the Union
of these States there is too much reason to fear
that “we an* already two nations in feeling,”
and to anticipate the near approach of the ca
lamity which shall blot out some of thestarsin
our ensign and make us two nations in fact.
And. what has brought us to the verge of this
precipice? What evil spirit has put enmity be
tween the seed of those whom God by his bless
ing on the wisdom and sacrifices of our father's
made one flesh ? What lias created and fostered
liiis alienation between the North and the South
until disunion—that used to be whispered in
comers stalks forth in open daylight and is re
cognized as a necessity by multitudes of think
ing men in all sections of the land. I believe
bei -re God. that this division of feeling, of which
act ual disunion will be but the expression and
embodiment, was begotten of abolitionism, has
been rocked in its cradle and fed with its pois
oned milk, and instructed by its ministers until
girded with a strength which comes not alto
gether of this upper world, it is taking hold up
on the pillars of the constitution and shattering
the noble fabric to its base.
There was a time when the constitutional
questions between the North and South—the
conflict of material interests growing out of their
differences in soil and production, were discus-
M-d in the spirit of statesmanship and Christian
court.-y. Then such men as Daniel Webster
•n the one side, and Calhoun on the ot her, stood
up face to face and defended the rights of their
respective constituency in words which will be
quoted as long as the English tongue shall en
dure, as a model of eloquence ami a pattern of
manly delate. But aliolitionism began to creep :
in. It came first as a purely moral question ;
but very soon its dm trines were embraced by a
sufli ieut number to hold the balance of power
l<etvrcen contending parties in many Districts
and States. Aspirants for the Presidency seiz
ed tq><»n it as a weapon for gratifying their am
bition avenging their disappointments. Un
der the shadow ol their patronage, sincere abo
litionists became more bold and abusive in ad
vocating their prim ipks. The unlawful and
* icked business of enticing slaves from their
n asters was pushed forward with increasing
zeah Men who in the better days of the repub
lic could not have obtained the smallest office,
were elected to Congress upon this single issue;
ami ministers of the Gospel descended from the
pulpit to mingle religious animosity with the
boiling cauldron of political strife. Nor was
this pmcvs' confined to one side in the contest.
Abux always provokes recrimination. So long
as human nature is passionate, hard wordswill
lie responded to by hard* r blows. And now be
hold tin r< suit! In the balls where Webster
and Calhoun, Adams and McDuffie rendered the
vt -y name of American statesmanship illustri
ous, and revived the memory of classic elo
quence, we have heard the outpouring of both
N. rthvrn ami Southern violence from men who
must l»e nameless in this sacred place; and in
th< land where such slaveholders as Washing
ton ami Madison united with Hamilton and llan
c* k m cementing the Union which they fondly
hojied would l»e perpetual, commerce and man
ufactures, and all our great industrial and gov
ern mental interests, are trembling on the verge !
ot <1 -solutionand as abolitionism is the great 1
m s. hii f maker between North and South, so it
is the great -tumbling block in the way of
peaceful settlement of our difficulties. Its voice :
is stdl for war.
The spirit of conciliation and compromise it ■
utterly abhors, and mingling a horrid mirth
with its madness, puts into the hands of the
advocates of secession the very fans with which
to blow the embers of strife into a llaine. One i
man threw a t rch into the great temple of the 1
Ephe-ians and kindled a conflagration which a
hundred thousand brave men could not extin- ;
gtnsh. < hie man fiddled and sang, ami made ’
his 'ourtiers laugh amid the burning of Rome
-and the abolition preacher “feels good” and
overflow with merriment when he secsour mer
chants ami laboring men running after their
chests ami the bread of their families “as if all
creation was after them." ami snuffs on the
S them Irtveze the scent of servile and civil
Mar Oh, shame—shame that it should come
to this; and the name of our holy religion be
soblaspl ltd! Let US hope in Christian charity |
that such men do not comprehend danger ,
that stares teem in the face. Indeed, who of
us does fully comprehend it? Tn the eloquent
words of Daniel Webster, “While the Union
la-t- we have high, exciting, gratifying pros
;*ecis spread out before us, tor us ami our chil- i
• nvn. B yon 1 that I seek not to penetrate the
vcl God grant that in my day, at least, that
< urtain may net rise." A kind and wonderful .
priHideme has >o tempered the body of these I
State- together, so bound and interlaced them i
wit! t'onuucnial and social ties, to say nothing
of h gal obligati us. that no member can be se
' < rvd. ami esp< ciaily no contest can be waged
among tl e i.iemb rs. without a quivering and
mg n-h in every nerve, and a stagnation in the
vital currents of a,IL Let one star be blotted
out from our ensign, and the moral gravitation
which hoi ds all it their orbits will be paralyz
ed, if not utterly destroyed. The living exam
ple <4 Micr« -.-ful secession for one cause, will
-ugge-l the same course for another ; and un-
God gives our public men a wisdom and
forbearance of which the past few years have
afforded too little evidence, the dissolution of ,
this Union will be the signal for the disintegra
tion .»! it-elements, hi such a chaos let us
not flatter ourselvt-that we shall be in entire
{•race and safety. The contest on whose peril
ous edge we >e< m to stand cannot be a section
al ot» —all ti e North on the one side, and all
the Seith <»n the other. It is a conflict that
will run the ploughshare of division through
every Stato ami neighborhood in the land. Ab
olition orators may talk about what “ we of the i
N >rth” will «i-< and will not do. as though all ■
the |<eop!e had bowed down to worship theim- i
age they had ,-et up; but other men besides 1
them will claim the right to speak—other in
terest- will no* I to be conserved besides the
cause upon which they arrogantly assume that
v>. t-rv jwrebes and the smile of heaven rests.
L-t not him who putteth on his armor boa-t
as he that pulleth it off."
When the thou-ind- of working men whose
-übtd-tence Jepemfe upon our trade with the
ssnith, many of whom have been deluded by
aliohtion ilemagogues, shall clamor in our street
f >rbrra<L fr<e lalior may present some problems I
which political economy has not solved. And
when the commerce of this cosmopolitan city is
parah zeti, and al! her benevolent and industrial
institutions are withering in the heat of this un
natural contest, it may liecotnea question—nay,
is it not already whispered in your counting
houses, whether this great metropolis can be
separated from the p< ople with whom her inter
est and her heart is bound up, and continue to
be controlled by a legislative policy ga. ist
which she is continually protesting? or whether,
following the great lights of history, she will at
all hazards set up for herself, and unbolting the
gateway of her magnificent harbor, invite the
free trade of the world to pour its riches into
I her besom ? Such are a few of the problems
which bring the question of a dissolution of the
Union home to us. If we were sure of a peace
i ful solution, at whatever pecuniary or social
sacrifice, we would not feel so deeply nor speak
so earnesly. But who knows that it will be
peaceful ? ’ Where is the surgeon who can sever
even one member from this body politic without
the shedding of blood ? Where is the statesman
, or political economist who will undertake to con
l trol the parties, or direct the industrial interests
of any one State, amid the confusion and alarm
I of dissolution ? Let us not deceive ourselves.
' The chasm before us is a yawning abyss, into
whose depths no eye but God’s can penetrate.
Other men may cry “who’s afraid ?” and whis
tle to keep their courage up ; but 1 confess my
fears. Through the curtain that is about to rise,
I I see shadows at w hich the horror of a great
■ darkness settles down upon my spirit and the
hair of my flesh stands up. Let us appeal to
the God of peace, in whose hands are the hearts
of all men, to dispel the fearful vision, to infuse
his loving spirit into our national councils, to
give our public men the meekness of wisdom,
I and to bind the hearts of all the people once
! more in bonds of brotherly kindness.
But if we would have these supplications an
swered, let us prove our faith by our works;
take the beam out of our own eye, and obey the
twofold precept of the text: “ These things
■ teach and exhort, and if any man teach other
wise, fiom such withdraw thyself.”
After prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Lee, of the
i Green avenue Presbyterian church, and the
singing of a hymn, the congregation was dis
missed with the benediction.
