LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE.

This age is the age of Civilization,
and this country is the country OF
Liberty.
And We have to thankaNl for
having brought us into life IN such
\ country and in such il century
for our torefatherS, less happy, Ill the
endowment of life, have known the
DAYS Of darkness. and the days CT
slavery.
But the fundamental principle
| upon which the civilization OF this
country rests, and 10y which We
must stand firm ard free in the fl
turc, is certainly the Liberty cons
cience.
This principal is the mother Of
all our liberties, the keystone OF
what may he called right, justice
and greatness.
To think according to our reason,
to like according to III will, to wor-
ship according to our faith. and to
be respectful and tolerant to others
feelings and Gods, such is the only
way, the american way of proving
the liberty of conscience.
Americans cannot have another
doctrine.
Without such a doctrine, II So
ciety could not exist mistaken, tree
and happy. War would he Il con
dition and misery II fate. Man
would be an enemy to man, and our
political and social organization,
instead Of being that OF order and
liberty, would most assurcdly be
the organization of a shameful and
horrible lespotism.
See the European world, where
the liberty of conscience does not
prevail, where the governments are
mastered by powerful clergy, where
the Church rules the people to her
profits, and where war has more or
less religious blood on its battle
field1
Indeed, Church and State must
he separate the one from the other.
and their separation is the cardinal
doctrine of our country, the only
safeguard of our republican govern
ment. 1t means democracy, peace
and Justice, while the contrary
means war, aristocracy and despot

Is it to say that we r impiou:

own landmarks, rest only on tin
creed and support of their worship
