enough, it has been deeply clOuded by passion and prejudice. It is very singular that question, the ele- ments of which are so simple and so obvious. should have been so be clouded by the discussion of men of high motive, men of purpose as any of us may claim, and yet apparently incapable of divesting themselves of that sort of proVincialism which con- sists in thinking the contents of their own minds to be the contents of the minds of the world. For, gentlemen. while America is great nation, while America contains all the ele- ments of fine force and accomplish ment. America does not constitute the major part of the world.
 We live in a world which we did not make. which we cannot alter. which we cannot think into T differ ent condition from that which ac- tually exists. It would be q hopeless piece of provincialism to suppose that, because we think differently from the rest of the world we are at liberty to assure that the rest of the world will permit Us to enjoy that thought without disturbance.
