Charles Congdon, Tribune Essays: Leading Articles Contributing to the New York Tribune from 1857 to 1863. (ed. Horace Greeley), The Slaveholding Utopia. (search)
o Christianity, it follows that it is hostile to Democracy. The Constitution guaranties to every white man, at least, in the Rebel States, a Republican form of government, which can never be maintained with social institutions based upon the worst practices of an outworn Heathenism. It is not only for territorial power; it is not only in defence of social order and the majesty of law, that we are contending, but for the conservation of civilization and the security of personal rights; it is that we may not, in our progress toward a higher greatness and more equitable social forms be neighbored by a nation lapsing into the rudeness and barbarism of the Middle Ages. America! sang Goethe, long ago-- America! thou hast it better Than our ancient hemisphere! Thine is no frowning castle, No basalt as here! Good luck wait on thy glorious Spring, And when in time thy poets sing, May some good genius guard them all From baron, robber-knight, and ghost traditional. October 6, 1862.
