Synopsis
Excerpt from And Addrees: Delivered at the Inauguration of the President of Miami University; Oxford, Ohio, August, 1841
Religion and patriotism, therefore, bind this Obligation ofobedi ence to duly constituted authority, upon the! Honor and the con science of every citizen. We shoulddrink it in with our mother's milk and cause it to grow with our growth, and strengthen with our strength. In its preservation are involved our dearest rights, our most valued possessions, and hence the man who directly or indirectly, either by failing to execute, evading or insulting the laws of the land, contributes to the weakening of this obligation, should not only be viewed as a traitor to his country, but an enemy alike to God and man. In trampling law, he invades the general welfare; and in spurning the restraints of duly constituted autho~ rity, he'assists either in driving society backward to a state of nature, or in urging it recklessly into despotism. These are the alternatives to which mankind must have recourse when divine and human laws and authority fail in protecting their dearest rights, society dissolves, or evokes, the iron sceptre of military despotism either Of these extremes, odious as they are, being justly esteemed preferable to a government of law in name, but of brute violence in fact.
