We should lay aside every hindrance and endeavour by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world; for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save civilization.

We have a very daring and skillful opponent against us, and, may I say across the havoc of war, a great general.
