What A Glorious Morning This Is!

May Every Citizen ... Have A Proper Sense Of The Deity Upon His Mind And An Impression Of The Declaration Recorded In The Bible, 'him That Honoreth Me I Will Honor, But He That Despiseth Me Shall Be Lightly Esteemed.'

'revelation Assures Us That 'righteousness Exalteth A Nation.' Communities Are Dealt With In This World By The Wise And Just Ruler Of The Universe. He Rewards Or Punishes Them According To Their General Character. The Diminution Of Public Virtue Is Usually Attended With That Of Public Happiness, And The Public Liberty Will Not Long Survive The Total Extinction Of Morals.

Our Union Is Now Complete; Our Constitution Composed, Established, And Approved. You Are Now The Guardians Of Your Own Liberties.

I Firmly Believe That The Benevolent Creator Designed The Republican Form Of Government For Man.

It Is In The Interest Of Tyrants To Reduce The People To Ignorance And Vice. For They Cannot Live In Any Country Where Virtue And Knowledge Prevail. The Religion And Public Liberty Of A People Are Intimately Connected; Their Interests Are Interwoven, They Cannot Subsist Separately; And Therefore They Rise And Fall Together. For This Reason, It Is Always Observable, That Those Who Are Combin'd To Destroy The People's Liberties, Practice Every Art To Poison Their Morals.
