Decline of Puritanism
The signs of the times unmietakabli
iszlinate a falling off in the organized
power of Puritan sentiment in this coun
try. The practical supremacy of ruri•
leftism hie been maintained for the pest
tea years at the North. and, for ills molt
part during that period over the whide
nation,by virtue ofthe energy it has put
forth in controlling and conducting to
triumph of what is now kzzown 'tithe Rad
cal party The Radical party as the coo•
oeistration of.. Puritan priuoiplea and
morale; it is a direct ecnbodimeat of
intolerance and force. Whatever
asrailigion. of relfislinees, of avarice tFnd
Puritedism pbsseised,lbas been
insilafted to the character and history of
the Radical party. With the failure of
Radicalism, the decline of distinctive
Puritanism follows. The sources of
readmit dieintegration, Which seems to
be in process for the eventual overthrow
of this peculiar sentiment,are to be trac
ed mainly, firm, to the introduction of
foreign elements into ourpopulation,and,
seeendly, to the rapid and excessive
self-eonsuniplutin of its atm vitality.
This powerful element in our social sys
