Life Is Too Short To

Perhaps The Most Typically American Place In America.

Patriotism Consists Not In Waving The Flag, But In Striving That Our Country Shall Be Righteous As Well As Strong.

The Presence Of The Blacks Is The Greatest Evil That Threatens The United States. They Increase, In The Gulf States, Faster Than Do The Whites. They Cannot Be Kept For Ever In Slavery, Since The Tendencies Of The Modern World Run Strongly The Other Way. They Cannot Be Absorbed Into The White Population, For The Whites Will Not Intermarry With Them, Not Even In The North Where They Have Been Free For Two Generations. Once Freed, They Would Be More Dangerous Than Now, Because They Would Not Long Submit To Be Debarred From Political Rights. A Terrible Struggle Would Ensue.

There Is A Hearty Puritanism In The View Of Human Nature Which Pervades The Instrument Of 1787. It Is The Work Of Men Who Believed In Original Sin, And Were Resolved To Leave Open For Transgressors No Door Which They Could Possibly Shut.

The Tendency Everywhere In America To Concentrate Power And Responsibility In One Man Is Unmistakable.
