"Sir, allusion has been made, in an early stage of this debate, to the history of the excitement which once pervaded a considerable part of the country, in reference to the transportation of the mails on the Lord's day"
- Caleb Cushing
About this Quote
This quote by Caleb Cushing is describing the controversy that arose in the 19th century over the transport of mail on Sundays. At the time, many people thought that it was wrong to deal with the Lord's day, and so the transportation of mail on Sundays was seen as an offense of spiritual concepts. Cushing is alluding to the reality that this problem caused a great deal of enjoyment and argument throughout the country. He is likely recommending that the very same level of enjoyment and argument ought to be used to the present problem being discussed. This quote functions as a suggestion that the very same level of passion and dedication ought to be applied to all issues, despite the length of time ago they took place. It also functions as a suggestion that the exact same level of regard should be offered to all viewpoints, even if they are not in line with one's own beliefs.
