Very true, that a high degree of energy in the acquisition of wealth is not incompatible with the true progress of a nation. Laziness can never be approbated, nor indolence reckoned one of the vir- tues. By no means. Schemes of accumulating for- tunes, efforts and enterprises necessary to break our prairies, and cut down our forests, to explore our mines, and develop our national resources, are not to be exchanged for beds of ease, nor for masterly inactivity. But what I mean to say, is, that o...ur supreme devotion to material interests is wrong ; that it prostitutes mind and heart, our moral and physical powers to objects beneath those to which we may nominally aspire ; that it tends to blunt the finer sen- sibihties of the soul, to weaken the restraints of con- science, to destroy the might of motives to intellec- tual and moral attainments, defeating thereby the high purpose for which God has raised us up as a nation ; that it strengthens the baser passions of man's na- ture so as to render it possible, yea, probable, that it is such a dangerous evil proclivity in our national hfe as eventually to undermine the whole fabric of our institutions, and cause this last experiment of a free government to fall by its own covetousness and lux- ury, like some noted republics of old.
