Excerpt from The Preservation of the States United: A Discourse Delivered in Harvard Church, Charlestown, on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 29, 1860

Let us find an appropriate lesson for the day in the aspects of public affairs among us, as they show us the need of wisdom and moderation and kindness in all classes of our citizens, especially in those who represent the antagonisms of party strife. Doubtless we have trouble before us. It has been so long threatening us, that it has become familiar. An issue presents itself to us in our national politics, which must sooner or later have arisen in our land, and which comes before us just now, perhaps, under far more favorable circumstances, and of really less for midable aspect, than, a few years ago, we could have ventured to have hoped. \vhile every other civilized nation on the earth has darker clouds hovering over its future fortunes than any which as yet we can see in our horizon, we could hardly have expected that Providence would wholly spare us those anxieties and conflicts by which nations, as well as individuals, hold their earthly inheritance.
