It's time for me to go. But I would rather stay.
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing its burdens.
Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
But fight we must; and conquer we shall; in the end.
A right result, at this time, will be worth more to the world, than ten times the men, and ten times the money.
Again I admonish you not to be turned from your stern purpose of defending your beloved country and its free institutions by any arguments urged by ambitious and designing men, but stand fast to the Union and the old flag.
