Emerson's argument is that nature has a peaceful essence.

Explanation:

In the paragraph shown in the question above, Emerson shows that nature gives him a sense of peace, because when he is in nature he feels safe and complete. He feels a close relationship between reason and faith that makes him believe that nothing bad and no worry will prevent him from feeling the peace that only nature can bring.
