The man who has half a million of dollars in property... has a much higher interest in the government, than the man who has little or no property.

A national language is a band of national union.

Education is useless without the Bible. The Bible was America's basic text book in all fields. God's Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.
