Tom COrvyin On the Duties of an
American.

The following extract is from report
of lecture delivered by Mr.. COrwin, at
the Plymouth Church, (Rey. Beecher's,)
Brooklyn, on Tuesday evening 1.-The
obligation Of men to obey the laws was
the first question he would take for con-
sideration-the obligation of an American
Christian citizen. Their fathers had made
constitution for them. The first duty
required from man is an acknowledged ac-
countability to God. The Constitution Of
the States was a bargain made by their
forefathers, by which they were bound
This constitution they could not change
by violence, but they were at liberty to
alter it according to the spirit in which it
was framed. Now, the ballot took the
place of the bullet, and it was by the for
mer-not the latter they must, if ever
necessary, make a change in the Constitu-
ton. The age Of bullets was passed it
was now the age of ballots. If laws were
necessary, there was an obligation upon
man to yield obedience to those laws by
which the majority were ruled. The ma
jority, it must be yielded, must rule the
minority. 1t was not by pixies or bullets
that men in the minority could alter the
constitution adhered to by the majority.
This was the method which poor old John
Brown attempted to go upon, and failed.
Brown could not make men believe that
the slave negroes should be set free, and
to enforce his opinion he got together some
fifteen hundred pixies to demonstrate that
he was right. These pixies were intended
to punch holes in the heads Of men, to de-
monstrate that negroes should be free
That was a very wicked and rabid kind
Of logic But 10 truth was ever yet de
monstrated in that kind of way. That
was not the way the Great Apostle Of Chris
tianity taught obedience to the laws
When lie was arrested, Peter one of his
followers, drew u sword and smote off
mans cara constable, he supposed
What did his Master say? He did not
say, Peter my friend, where are our pixies
have the boxes of arms come from Con
necticut yet? No, He told him to put up
his sword, for that the mar who appealed
to the sword would die by the sword
Christ's principle Of fAboiitionisn was, that
man onl y was free whom the truth maketh
free. There was an obligation resting on
the minds of men to obey the laws under
which they lived. 1t was only by obedi-
ence to the laws they could hope to ad-
vance mans destiny. The lecturer con
cludcd amid frequent demonstrations
