political relations are paramount to social
ones-that in a controversy between the
two, the latter should give way, the Union
Abolitionist is right. Admitting that the
safety and happiness of the people can only
be secured through the Union as it was, the
Pure Unionist is right. Admitting that har-
mony between the North and the South can
not be promoted by fighting the Peaceable
Unionist is right. Admitting that divis-
ion is the only way to get rid of an other
wise irrepressible conflict the Separationist
is right.
Now either one of these premises it
is perfectly legitimate in reason to adopt;
and why man is worse for holding
one than for holding another, it is not
easy to explain. Mems convictions are in
voluntary. They can not change them at
will; there is therefore no moral terpitude
in opinions; and this being conceded, it fol-
lows that there can be none in expressing
them; nor can there exist any where, legit-
innate right to prevent or punish their ex.
preston.
If our Government should assume to pun.
ish opinions, it could only do so upon the
basis of some fixed and determined stand
ard-which must necessarily be prescribed
by itself-the only equitable rule being to
punish all that do not exactly conform to its
own. There would be no justice in pro
scribing those which varied upon one side Of
the standard, and allowing those which va.
ried upon the other to go at large. The rule
must be Procrustian-to cut the redundant,
ard stretch the diminutive-to fill the mea.
sure every time; an enterprise which has
always proved too extensive for all the Gov.
ernments that have attempted it.
1t is always best, in matters of opinion, to
give mankind credit for being sincere. Men
are less liable willfully to tergiversate in
respect to doctrine than in any thing else.
If man is found holding seven different
and conflicting opinions upon the same sub
iect within the same week, it is not therefore
conclusive that he is insecure in any. He
may be tickle and unsteady. minded; his
judgment may be unsound; he may have
daily gained some new light. His sincerity
is, indeed, less questionable than that of him
who never changes.
Finally, when man is found holding and
expressing an opinion that is unpopular,
whose utterance exposes him to reproach,
or personal danger, or pecuniary loss, he, Of
all others, has right to demand of the calm
and judicious OF his fellow. citizens-until
the contrary is proven-a belief in his sim
