'' And may he not give us over to our own lusts, a prey? A lingering decay is worse than a sudden overthrow. A nation dies when everything great and good dies in it The name may live after the glory has departed. Talk not of our written Constitution, glorious as it is — immortal as we hope it may be. Political security dwells not in the letter, but in the spirit of our free in- stitutions. Yet many deem all safe, so long as the letter is safe. Death does not take away the soul and body both. Li...fe may have departed, and yet not an artery, or bone, or fiber be removed. And so the spirit of a government may perish, and not a line or letter of its written constitution be effaced. When usurpation* comes in, masked and hypocritical, its abiding place is usually the dead^ letter of a once free Constitution. Digitized by V^OOQIC THE HOPE OF THE NATION. 116 Behold Augustus Caesar wielding imperial power amid the forms of a dead republic. The safest place of despotism is the vacant temple of freedom — ^a woeful desecration, like the temple of God turned into the mart of the money changers.
