Sectarian Priests Cry Out Concerning Me, And

Let Us Here Observe, That A Religion That Does Not Require The Sacrifice Of All Things, Never Has Power Sufficient To Produce The Faith Necessary Unto Life And Salvation.

Even This Nation (the Us) Will Be On The Very Verge Of Crumbling To Pieces And Tumbling To The Ground, And When The Constitution Is Upon The Brink Of Ruin, This People Will Be The Staff Upon Which The Nation Shall Lean, And They Shall Bear The Constitution Away From The Very Verge Of Destruction.

Shall We Not Go On In So Great A Cause? Go Forward And Not Backward. Courage, Brethren; And On, On To The Victory!

Our Nation, Which Possesses Greater Resources Than Any Other, Is Rent, From Center To Circumference, With Party Strife, Political Intrigues, And Sectional Interest; Our Counselors Are Panic Stricken, Our Legislators Are Astonished, And Our Senators Are Confounded.

I Am The Greatest Advocate Of The Constitution....the Only Fault I Find With The Constitution Is, It Is Not Broad Enough To Cover The Whole Ground. Although It Provides That All Men Shall Enjoy Religious Freedom, Yet It Does Not Provide The Manner By Which That Freedom Can Be Preserved, Nor For The Punishment Of Government Officers Who Refuse To Protect The People In Their Religious Rights, Punish Those Mobs, States, Or Communities Who Interfere With The Rights Of The People On Account Of Their Religion. Its Sentiments Are Good, But It Provides No Means Of Enforcing Them.
