State establish correspondencies with each other, with a view 

 to add the force of numbers to the force of argument; and, 

 taking an example of wisdom, even from the enemies of law 

 and order and morals, let us too agitate, and agitate, and agi- 

 tate, in the cause of truth and of virtue, until our opinion 

 shall form and become public opinion, with all the weight and 

 authority of that mighty engine; and let us give no rest to the 

 men of power among us, till v/e shall see the land redeemed 

 from the vices of ignorance, bigotry, and superstition, and es- 

 tabUshed under the reign of a wide-spread illumination; of a 

 pure, exalted, and ennobhng philosophy; and of a religion of 

 undefiled and Christian simplicity.
