There is nothing that I shudder at more than the idea of a separation of the Union. Should such an event ever happen, which I fervently pray God to avert, from that date I view our liberty gone.

I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.

From his proceedings in Congress, he appears demented, and his actings and doings inspire my pity more than anger.

Unless you become more watchful in your states and check the spirit of monopoly and thirst for exclusive privileges you will in the end find that...the control over your dearest interests has passed into the hands of these corporations.

Elevate those guns a little lower.

You must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessings.

To the victors belong the spoils.
