Excerpt from Our Country, and Our Country's Constitution and Laws: A Discourse Delivered on Thanksgiving Day, December 12th, 1850, in the Chelsea Presbyterian Church, New York

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. - Rom. Xiii. 1.

ON the third of August, 1492, was commenced the most important voyage of maritime discovery recorded in the annals of the world. The little fleet engaged in this enterprise, consisting of three inconsiderable ves sels, left the port of Palos, in Andalusia, at the close of a long summer's day. A poetical, if not a logical mind, can see a propriety in this voyage being begun at the approach of evening, when the sun, as he sank slowly in the west, seemed to be beckoning the adventurous navigators towards the obscure and remote scenes of their proposed research.* In the course of this ever-memorable voyage, the variation of the needle and the setting of familiar stars seemed at once to denote a change in the laws of nature, and an advance into a region from which all return might be impossible.
