The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1851-01-29
Here is introduced tbe old doyma

Here is introduced the old dogma,
vamped up, il is true, in somewhat Of a
new shape, but its odious character is nev.
ertheless apparent, TO wit: That "kings
rule by divine right" That civil govern
ments are necessary for the well being Of
society, is admitted; but that God ever or.
dained any civil government other than
that Of the Jewish, is denied ,--and that he
did, proofs demanded. Whatever of good
there may be in government is of God,
but whatever of bad is Of the devil. II
God has ordained that civil governments
are necessary TO the happiness of man, ii
follows, of necessity, that it is also or.
dained Of God, that there are certain rules
to which government must conform, OF ne.
cessity, to accomplish the end designed.
Then when this is done, government may
be fairly said to be ordained Of God, and
that the civil magistrates of such govern.
ment are the ministers of God. Mans
existence, and law TO control his actions
through life. are ordained Of God; but
when man violates this law, both he and
the law which then governs him, are not of
God, but of the spiritual enemy of man.
kind.
We stand opposed TO all doctrines that
would make God the author OF oppression
Consequently, we wholly repudiate the idea
that God ordains all governments. This
would be to involve him in all the abomi.
nably wicked acts committed by the un.
godly kings of the earth. God is not the
author Of any system Of government which
oppresses man; his government is perfect
Notwithstanding whatever else may be
taught by some who profess to be the "es-
pecially chosen" expounders Of the scrip.
lures, all they teach is not worthy of belief.
For instance-that "kings rule by divine
right''-that all civil governments are or
dained of God-that civil magistrates are
the ministers OF God-that transubstantia.
ton is in the power OF man on earth TO
perform, and that capital punishment is
enforced by the moral law Of God. The
Creator OF man does not require his crca-
lures to believe anything without testmo-
ny, against reason and contrary to the
testimony of their senses, which would
have TO be done before credence could be
given 10 the doctrines above alluded TO.
What has tended more TO deepen the deg
radiation Of man, and what has contributed
more to his misery, than yielding his con-
sent to such absurd doctrines? When man
can give credence 10 such doctrines, he is
prepared to minister by his blood and
sweat to the qualification Of the most beast
ly passions of the heart Of ambitious and
wicked men. God will hold man individ-
ually responsible for the proper use of the
talent he has given him. Then let no one,
at this day, hope to be excused by his
Maker by having acted in conformity with
the teaching Of another when such teaching
is not sustained by the scord OF God and
the Evidence Of his own senses.
If the Almighty had understood the
sanctity of the law of capital punishment,
as we'll as Mr.. C.. claims to do, should not
both Peter and Paul have suffered its PEN
atty, instead of being so peculiarly favored
as they were9
