Let us invoke a continuance of the same protecting care which has led us from small beginnings to the eminence we this day occupy.

Stop your nonsense and drink your whiskey!

I am not a party candidate, and if elected cannot be President of a party, but the President of the whole people.

For more than half a century, during which kingdoms and empires have fallen, this Union has stood unshaken. The patriots who formed it have long since descended to the grave; yet still it remains, the proudest monument to their memory. . .

The power given by the Constitution to the Executive to interpose his veto is a high conservative power; but in my opinion it should never be exercised except in cases of clear violation of the Constitution, or manifest haste and want of due consideration by Congress.

I have no private purpose to accomplish, no party objectives to build up, no enemies to punish-nothing to serve but my country.
