I hope and trust to meet you in Heaven, both white and black-both white and black.

I was born for a storm and a calm does not suit me.

I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.

I trust in due time to lay the perfidy, meanness, and wickedness of [Henry] Clay naked before the American people. I have lately got an intimation of some of his secret movements, which, if I can reach with positive and responsible proof, I will wield to his political, and perhaps his actual, destruction.

It will be my sincere and constant desire to observe toward the Indian tribes within our limits a just and liberal policy, and to give that humane and considerate attention to their rights and their wants which is consistent with the habits of our Government and the feelings of our people.

There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses.

The President is the direct representative of the American people and is elected by the people and responsible to them.
