ADDRESS ON WAR
BY ALEXANDER CAMPBELL
Delivered at Wheeling , Va., in 1848
Printed In Serial Form on Request of Subscribers
NUMBER 1
Ladies and gentlemen, has one
Christian nation a right to wage war
against another Christian nation?
On propounding to myself, and
much more to you, my respected
auditors, this momentous question so
affecting the reputation and in
volving the destiny of our own coun
try and Uiat of the Christian world,
I cr-ifess that I rather shrink from
its investigation than approach it
with full confidence in my ability
to examine it with that intelligence
and composure so indispensable to
a satisfactory decision. With your
indulgence, however, I will attempt,
if not to decide the question, at
least to assist those who, like my
self, have often and with intense in
terest reflected on the desolations
and horrors of war, as indicated In
the sacrifice of human life, the ag
onies of surviving relatives, the im
mense expenditures of a people’s
wealth, and the inevitable deterior
ation of public morals invariably at
tendant on its existence and career
If with Dr, Dick, of Scotland, we
should put dowm its slain victims
to the minimum of 14 000.000,000; or
with Burke, of Ireland, at the max
imum of 35.000.000.000; or take the
mean of 24,500.000,000, what imagin
ation could picture all the miseries
and agonies inflicted upon the slain
and upon their surviving relatives
and friends? And who eould com
pute the wealth expended in the
support of those immense armies
whose butchered millions can never
be exactly computed? In Great
Britain alone, from ihe
in 1688 to the overthrow of Na
poleon in 1815, during her 7
wars, occupying 65 years of 127,

would agree on the real issue, on the
proper terms to express and define
them
As public faith or commercial
credit, founded upon- an equivocal
currency, on its exposure suddenly
shrinks into ruinous dimensions, at
once blighting the hopes and anni
hilating the fortune of many a bold
adventurer, so many a false and
dangeious position, couched in am
biguous terms, when pruned of its
luxuriant verbiage, divested of its
captivating but delusive elocution,
and presented in an intelligible, def
inite, and familiar attitude, is at
once reprobated as unwortily of
our reception and regard.
On comparing the literature and
science of the current age with those
of forn v times we readily discov
er how much we owe to a more rigid
analysis and a more scrupulous
adoption of the technical terms and
phrases of the old schools, to which
the whole world at one time looked
up as the only fountains of wisdom
and learning. When submitted to
the test of a more enlightened crit
icism many of their most popular
and somewhat cabalistic terms and
phrases have been demonstrated to
be words without just or appropri
ate ideas, and have been ‘'nailed to
the counter” as spurious coin; oth
ers, however, like pure metal in an
tique forms, have been sent to the
mint, recast, and made to receive the
impre ; of a more enlightenened and
accomplished age.

pounds—more than $10,100,000 000
sum much more easily expressed
than comprehended by even the
most accomplished financier—how
can we compute the aggregate ex
penditures of all the battles fought
and wars carried on during a period
of some 5,000 years? Yet these mil
lions slain and these millions ex
pended are the least items in its
desolations to the mind of an en
lightened Christum philanthropist.
When we attempt to reflect upon
one human being in the amplitude
and magnitude of his whole destiny
in a world that has no limit and also
survey the capacities and suscepti
bilities of his nature according to
the Christian revelation, how insig
nific: it are the temporal and pass
ing results of any course of action
compared with those which know
neither measure nor end. How im
portant then, it is that in investi
gating a subject whose bearings on
society arithmetic cannot compute
nor language express we approach it
with a candid and unprejudiced tem
per and examine it with a profound
and concent rat ed devot ion of our
minds to all that history records,
philosophy teaches and religion en
joins.
But, before entering upon the
pro]ier examination of this question,
it may be of much importance to a
satisfactory issue that we examine
the terms in which it is expressed.
More than half the discussions and
controversies of every age are mere
logomachies, verbose wranglings
about the terminology of the
spective combatants; and more than
half the remainder might be corn
