Then hope revived ; and con- fidence was returning. The country had chosen a tried man, a man whom his enemies opposed, not from personal, but political considerations ; who had, in fact, no enemies but such as envy made. There he sat, calm at the helm, inspiring new confidence in our institutions, new hopes for our country. The Lord saw it, and saw that we had not yet learned where to put our trust. And again ; the pres- sure of his hand must be felt. The rod is therefore upon us. It teaches u...s, that while political sagacity has its sphere, and that a very important one ; yet, after all, there 14 remain so many occult causes which modify and baffle all his plans and enterprises, that man in his very philosophy ought to seek for a sure director of those unseen influences, those hidden but mighty powers, which, more than human foresight, prudence, patriotism or power, determine the fate of empires. My countrymen — God is teaching us that He reigns over us, that his favor is life. We must learn that lesson, or perish.
