No nation has ever long existed which did not repose, as upon a rock, upon the principles and teachings of the Holy Scriptures, a understood and practised by the civilized races of man. It is no les true, that never since the world began have these teachings and prin- ciples been so deeply fixed and so widely disseminated as since the- erection of the American republic.
