In viewing the aspects of mlblic morality
in this 'country. one of the most alarming
aims of the times, to my mind, is the titter
indifference that seems to ,pre s vail with re
gard to the solemnity, value and importance
of an oath. Every President, story govern
or, every Judge, all the mayors, lawyers, mar
shabtOusticies of the peace, and all the Leg
tetatuneir ire-ritrises e Wean* before Clod,
as they will beeper at the (heat Day, to

they take. It is no tilde., The question is,
now, is this oath complied with All nat•

regard to the fogiatetlate law, it is
not mypurPose,tc_say,wdether it i 3 a right
law or a wrong law. But it is the law of the
land. It was enacted by i majority of our
representatives ; it received the signature of
the President, It became a law. Every
pulilic officer td by oath bound to obey it.—
Every ailopted,eitizen is, by his solemn oath,
made when he received the rights and priv
ileges of an American citizen, bound to obey
it. Every native born citizen is bound by
his birthright to obey it. If the Constitution
is wrong, the people who made the Consti•
tution have the right and the power, acting
the legitimate means, to • alter it. If th.fu.
Rive slave law wrong, wi,tJi the wide
rests the law making power ; and thai4c
God, they have the right, acting through
their reprosentitiVeti, to repeal that Or any
other law. But no individual man has a
right to igniaro that law'; while it is a law
you and I and all the citizens of this country
are tanind by it. If, therefore, we, as Pres
ident, or judge, or hiwyer, or magistrate, or
naturalized citifen, aid or abut, countenance
or encourage the Volation of that law, or
wink at its evasion, wo are pirjurod. I defy
mortal man to contradict this. If it bo not
so, law is worthless, and an oath is a baga
telle. Mikes an oath is to have some obli•
un'ess the Constitution and tlia fawit
are leisure some binding force, we nisiy sin
well throw up the game and let it go.
After these general prefatory remarks, r
now take up that sruestra of questions,—
et:~vr -~< j
• • Can tbl t a OILI/0 perpetuated 1" ce.
aver, yea, kEy what means, then i By ta•
king the Wale formur rule. This, as I have
intimated, the sheet anchor Of our hope. If
this be faithfully patched and guarded, the
ship of State need leer no peril. The winds
may blow,,l.lts political sea soiiy rage, th.
wrathful wa:tyr.; may mount, the political
heavens mayAather blackness. the hghtmnge

of this American Union. a •
In .considering the means by ( Whieb"this
Republic is tp be preserved. 1 would remark
to the first place, that government is of Di
tune nppointinent. If we tura to the 13th
chapter of Romans, we shall find this pies
tion definitely and absolutely settled. We
there read. "Let evef y soul be subject
,uu•
to the higher 'powers" (the cirit authorities.)
For there is no powers that are ordained
of hiod." has apprimted die
ment. Ido say, I fearlessly say, that the
men who plaint the ,Divine Tight of
claim a 'right Which (Ind gar th Iris areal,'
God did give a king tffliftrel but (loci gave
in 1119 15 I nth. That, hnirever is merely
by tile way..
In a government of the p•/ii&, the laws
arc of their own selueuon. We are aubjeet
to a Cunstitti lion Ordained bystairselves, l'he
I,rinalion of that Constitunt %%as an object
of long ailicittide to wits as and ilubfo
