Excerpt from Constitutional Law and Unconstitutional Divinity: Letters to Rev. Henry M. Dexter, and to Rev. Leonard Bacon, D.D

Sir, - I am in the receipt of that compound mixture of political piety and partisan politics, The Congregational ist of the 7th instant, containing your letter to me, dated on the 3d.

Ifyou entertain a supposition that my reference to you, in the letter which I lately addressed to the People of Mas sachusetts, was written ih hasty wrath, or indicated any loss of temper, I beg of you to disabuse your mind of that idea with all possible expedition. You may rest assured that all which was there said was a deliberate, well-consid ered utterance, of the propriety of which I was then fully persuaded, and have not since entertained a particle of doubt; and I am too old to give any hope that'i shall live to repent.

I designed to strike at an offence which has been com mitted too often, and at an evil which has existed too long without any sufficient rebuke and that you presented your self as a representative of the offenders to receive the blow, you may thank your Fraternity lecture.
