National Destiny And Our Country PDF Download

Excerpt from National Destiny and Our Country The following Discourse was first delivered in Rev. Dr. Spring's Church, and, subsequently, in the Broadway Tabernacle, and in the R. D. Church on Lafayette Place. Several persons, then, desired its publication; but aside from hesitations as to its general utility, other callings then more important, and more imperative, prevented its issue. Some paragraphs here and there, have been added - some of which will be readily distinguished as not appropriate to the pulpit In publishing it now, with many imperfections, the writer is yielding to the opinions of others - especially to the requests of a gentleman who now desires to have it, at some trouble and expense to himself. He would be laying himself liable to be placed in a false position, if he failed to state here, that a person who borrowed the manuscript has published some portions of it over his own name; and has thereby manifested a great failing in matters of taste (not to mention things ethical), in appropriating from another that which - as in the present instance - is inferior to what he could have produced himself. Note. The intelligent reader will perceive that the certain dissolution of our Government and Institutions, or their certain perpetuity, is not asserted in this Discourse.
