169 - L. Sept. 17:2/2-4 - In a sermon delivered Sept. 11, the Reverend Mr.
Gillette declared that the United States should protect itself against all
enemies, and gave his blessing to all soldiers in the army.
We may, with the integrity of the Union, anticipate a homogeneous peo-
ple throughout the whole country. With the cause of local strife extinct,
a diffusion of intelligence will prevail all over the land. Southern aris-
tocracy shall no more raise its embankments against floods of intelligence
and light.... The steady work of advancing truth shall girdle around the
abode of polygamy, and that relic of barbarism, the twin-sister of savery,
shall pass into oblivion. We may then look for a reaction from rival
practices and the extensions of virtue, morality, and religion over all.
