Description:Excerpt from An Address Delivered in the Congregational Church Four years ago last November, the nation had elected a President in accordance with the customary and time honored provisions of the Constitution. The previous canvass had been somewhat unusually exciting, but no human being doubted the legitimacy of the election. When the result was known, the people occupying one-half the national territory - a region more than four times the size of the French Empire - rose in open and defiant rebellion. They were twelve millions strong. They had anticipated the movement, had established concert of action; and had, by previous control of the Government, silently withdrawn from the loyal part of the nation arms for their defense. They had seized all the government forts, arsenals, and other property within their limits, and had scattered the few government vessels to the four quarters of the globe. They were actuated by an almost unanimous sentiment of bitter hatred. They possessed a warlike instead of a manufacturing or commercial spirit. Their leaders were soldiers and statesmen of experience and ability. Jealousy won for them the sympathy of other nations, by whom our great experiment of self-government was now boldly and exultingly declared to be a failure. Ah, what dark and portentous days were those between the election of November 6th and that 11th of February following, when the President elect left his humble home at Springfield to assumed at the nation's capital, "the robes of his majestic office." What other hundred days in our history were ever so ominous of evil? Treason openly flung its insolent defiance at the Government in the Halls of Congress.
