whose momory was then celebrated uttered
to his country men were the following ::

ute of patriotism who should labor to sub
vert religion, that great pillar OF human
happiness, that prop of the duties OF men
and citizens. Where is the security for
property, for reputation, for life, If the sense
OF religious obligation desert the oaths which
are the instruments OF investigation In
courts of Justice ? And let Us with cautit
indulge the suppositiou that morality can
be maintained withou. religion. Reason
sud experience forbid us 10 expect that ne
