Excerpt from The American Union: A Discourse Delivered on Thursday, December 12, 1850

Tins sermon has long been out of print. Frequent applications have been made for it, which could not be supplied, I deeply regret that any occasion should have arisen for republishing it. But it is the proper complement of my sermon on Thanksgiving Day; and the argument of that discourse is very incomplete without this.

On referring to this pamphlet, after a long interval, I find it pervaded with a very different tone from that of the recent sermon, in respect to the triumphs and influence of Christianity in our country. I have only thought on this point, that within the last ten years, there has been a rapid development amongst us of an acrimonious theology, which has poisoned our politics, and tilled the country with hatred instead of love. This may explain many things of much greater moment than the dissimilarity bi these two discourses.
