Excerpt from Delivered at the Annual Election on Wednesday, January 4, 1837: Before His Excellency Edward Everett, Governor, His Honor George Hull, Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable Council, and the Legislature of Massachussetts

Does the question arise; How may the first of these issues be secured, and the other averted? This question has already received its response from the heavenly oracle. The passage which has been recited, points, indeed, directly at the spir itual and immortal salvation of man; and this, as effected by the religion Of Christ. Still, as this religion, the only hope of man for eternity, looks with the kindest aspect on his present state of be ing since it sheds an influence not less benign on his social and political, than his individual condition, I shall be permitted, on the present occasion, to consider the subject principally in this view.

Excerpt from Delivered at the Annual Election on Wednesday, January 4, 1837: Before His Excellency Edward Everett, Governor, His Honor George Hull, Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable Council, and the Legislature of Massachussetts

This is a great and auspicious day. It beholds the Fathers of the Commonwealth assembled to exercise its sovereign powers; to devise the means to perpetuate its liberties, and promote its order, and its happiness. It sees them bending before the throne of the Supreme Being, in grateful acknowledgment of his past protection and beneficence, and in humble supplication for his continued guidance and care. No attitude could be more suitable. None more truly dignified. Where is the community on which the sun looks down, equally pressed with the delightful debt of gratitude, as ours? Where is the community distinguished by the Almighty Governor of the world, with such an immense aggregate of privileges? - privileges to be continued and extended by his favor, or blighted and lost by his frown.
