Extract from the Rev. Dr. Bernard's sermon, delivered at Salem, (Mass.) on the day of the late Thanksgiving.
"Whenever we forsake our government; whenever we grow jealous of men, whose education, wisdom and morals ought to inspire us with confidence, and choose unprincipled persons to represent us; whenever we are ruled by the spirit of faction; whenever the States renounce their union: whenever we allow a governing influence to Foreign Courts: whenever we become impious, idle and profligate, our glory will depart."
