Excerpt from The Genius and Posture of America: An Oration Delivered Before the Citizens of Boston, July 4, 1857 None can mistake, or in the South can remain insensible to the times that are upon us. The issue (until now averted) between a numerical majority on the one Side, and sworn faith to a written compact on the other, is about to be tried. The Southern States represent the minority, both in States and in people, on this issue. Not their property alone, but their honor and safety are at stake in the result; for I look on the pending election ofa President interesting chiefly to the South, as it will be a type of opinion and purpose at the North. Reason and argument are exhausted - we have done whatever lay with us to bring the majority back within the pale of constitutional power; and can now only await the popular vote. Should it be found to stand by, and to uphold the Constitution, then we should once more look forward with confidence and hope to the continuance ofa Union established in mutual and patriotic sacrifices, and having its sanction in fraternal faith.
