To such I would say, it does not become you to com plain of your rulers, or of the war. You have help ed to bring on us this scourge, tocall down the dis- 17 pleasure of God. You are among the enemies of your country, and the authors of her ruin. My Mends, if God be a moral governour, no individual and no nation can continue to prosper in the viola tion of his holy commandments. Let then this day be something more than a day of empty forms. We owe to ourselves and our country deep sorrow for ou...r sins, and a sincere purpose that we will labour by our reformation, by our prayers and exemplary lives, to bring down a blessing on our land. Our duties to our rulers are not so easily pre scribed. It is our duty towards them to avoid all language and conduct which will produce a spirit of insubordination a contempt of laws and just authority. At the same time we must not see, without sensibility, without remonstrance, our rights violated, and our best blessings thrown away. Our elective form of government makes it our duty to expose bad rulers, to strip them of unmerited confidence, and of abused power.
