Excerpt from Horace Bushnell, the Citizen The Congregational Libraryin Bos ton is very rich in Bushnell material. It has in its collection many sermons and addresses which do not appear in Bushnell's collected works. Among them we have found a sermon preached in 1844, upon Politics under the Law of God. It will be noted that this is the same year as that of the article in the Christian Freeman to which Mr. Munger refers. In the preface to this public discourse Bush nell says that it is offered to the pub lic because it has been so unfortunate as to be denounced for qualities posi tively mischievous and dishonorable to a minister. My ideal in the dis course, he says, was to make a bold push for principle as the test of public men and measures, and let the lines when drawn cut where they would. I think I saw clearly that, if we are ever to have any principle in politics, it must be enforced when there is a ques tion on hand and results of couse; quence are to be effected. The dis course itself is the expression oi a spirit which America in this time has sadly needed to find in all her pulpits, but has found in too few. Before coming directly to the slavery ques tion he surveys the various evils in the nation at the time, which it was the duty of men who stood for morality in politics to denounce.
