Always remember: Life is for enjoying.
Free labor has the inspiration of hope; pure slavery has no hope.
As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew.
A nation that does not honor its heroes will not long endure.
What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?
Fondly do we hope, ferverently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away.
