Beware The Wrath Of A Patient Adversary.

It Would Be Well For Those Interested To Reflect Whether There Now Exists, Or Ever Has Existed, A Wealthy And Civilized Community In Which One Portion Did Not Live On The Labor Of Another; And Whether The Form In Which Slavery Exists In The South Is Not But One Modification Of This Universal Condition... Let Those Who Are Interested Remember That Labor Is The Only Source Of Wealth, And How Small A Portion Of It, In All Old And Civilized Countries, Even The Best Governed, Is Left To Those By Whose Labor Wealth Is Created.

True Consistency, That Of The Prudent And The Wise, Is To Act In Conformity With Circumstances, And Not To Act Always The Same Way Under A Change Of Circumstances.

The Object Of A Constitution Is To Restrain The Government, As That Of Laws Is To Restrain Individuals.

A Power Has Risen Up In The Government Greater Than The People Themselves, Consisting Of Many And Various Powerful Interests, Combined In One Mass, And Held Together By The Cohesive Power Of The Vast Surplus In Banks.

The Very Essence Of A Free Government Consists In Considering Offices As Public Trusts, Bestowed For The Good Of The Country, And Not For The Benefit Of An Individual Or A Party.
