Guarantees unto all its Citizens the rights of religion
Life Liberty and the persuit of Happiness. The right
of the Enjoyment of Religion of any Citizen in this
Republic has never been questioned by any Congress
or Judges of the Law untill of late. When both the Congress of the United States and Judges of the
Law have taken a step to deprive a Hundred
and Fifty thousand of her Citizens the right to
Enjoy their religion which the Constitution
garantees unto them, Will not the same God who has
given this Nation a free Government and an
Inspired Constitution of Equal rights to all
Men who dwell beneath its broad folds, Hold
the Rulers and Judges of the Land responsible
for the use they make of the power in their Hands?
He will. The Congress of 1862 And the
Supreme Judges of 1878 in there acts and
Decisions have taken a Dangerous and fearful
step. Their acts will sap the vary foundation
of our Government and it will be rent in twain
and the God of Heaven will hold them responsible
for these things. For what men sow thyey will
reap [Galatians 6:7] And the measure they will meet unto others
will be meeted unto them saith the Lord [Matthew 7:2]. When the
Constitution is one broken by the rulers of the
Land there will be no stoping place untill the
Nation is broaken in peaces, and no power
beneath the Heavens can save this Nation
