Sinopsis
Excerpt from And Addrees: Delivered at the Inauguration of the President of Miami University; Oxford, Ohio, August, 1841
Religion and patriotism, therefore, bind this Obligation ofobedi ence to duly constituted authority, upon the! Honor and the con science of every citizen. We shoulddrink it in with our mother's milk and cause it to grow with our growth, and strengthen with our strength. In its preservation are involved our dearest rights, our most valued possessions, and hence the man who directly or indirectly, either by failing to execute, evading or insulting the laws of the land, contributes to the weakening of this obligation, should not only be viewed as a traitor to his country, but an enemy alike to God and man. In trampling law, he invades the general welfare; and in spurning the restraints of duly constituted autho~ rity, he'assists either in driving society backward to a state of nature, or in urging it recklessly into despotism. These are the alternatives to which mankind must have recourse when divine and human laws and authority fail in protecting their dearest rights, society dissolves, or evokes, the iron sceptre of military despotism either Of these extremes, odious as they are, being justly esteemed preferable to a government of law in name, but of brute violence in fact.

Excerpt from And Addrees: Delivered at the Inauguration of the President of Miami University; Oxford, Ohio, August, 1841
There are those who will disingenuously tell you that we indebted to the emigrants from other countries for those act lawless violence, which oflete, have so abounded in the land. View this change as utterly gratuitous. Fugitives from in other lands, who sometimes escape to ours, may be expec to be vicious and insubordinate; but, take them as a whole,.l lieve the vast body of emigrants now located among us, are much, if not more, disposed to respect the laws, than numbers our native born citizens.

Excerpt from And Addrees: Delivered at the Inauguration of the President of Miami University; Oxford, Ohio, August, 1841
Brethren and Friends: -
1 have selected the subject just announced for the occasion which has convened us. We are to witness the inauguration of the recently elected President of Miami University, an event peculiarly interesting and pregnant with hope for this seat of literature and art.
I shall detain you but a few moments, although the theme is so importune, that it might justly claim an extended development; but my motive for brevity, is the wish to afford the mind of this audience fresh and unwearied, to the address which will follow in the order of the exercises of the day.
Studious, however, as I am, of condensing what I have to say upon the subject just named, lam too sensible of the obligations which this occasion originates, to withhold the full utterance of my views. The season is favorable for considering just such a topic as has been proposed, for the very air which we breathe, as it wafts to us from every section of our land, the tidings of the day, tells the humiliating story of outraged rights, growing insubordination, and popular disregard for the salutary restraints of law. In times like these, how necessary is it to lift the voice and proclaim, that "a religious and patriotic obedience to duly constituted authority is a primary obligation of an American citizen?"
I stay not to prove the proposition which is now proposed to you; I should as soon think of attempting to demonstrate any one of the plainest axioms of science. The sentence on which our subject is couched, contains a truth which shines with a self-evident brightness, as clear and vivid as the stars of our national banner.
