Description:

Pamphlet of The American Republic, An Address Delivered At Parkersburg, West Virginia, July 4th, 1867, by M. C. C. Church. The address praises the American Republic as the political embodiment of Christ's spirit of Justice, Liberty, and Law for everyone, as opposed to the Jews, "the proudest, the most debased, the most bigoted people who ever lived," who always thought they were "a little better than their Gentile neighbors. The spirit of exclusiveness and caste was born into their very marrow and blood. They could not think that God had any care over the outside world." Church disagrees with Calhoun-style theories of the Union as a mere compact between sovereign States; instead, the Union is "an organism, a body, filled with a living spirit, whose outgoings are justice, righteousness, and liberty."; Parkersburg, WV
