Government Is A Trust, And The Officers

I Am Not, Sir, In Favor Of Cherishing The Passion Of Conquest. I Am Permitted ... To Indulge The Hope Of Seeing, Ere Long, The New United States, (if You Will Allow Me The Expression,) Embracing Not Only The Old.

The Gentleman Cannot Have Forgotten His Own Sentiment, Uttered Even On The Floor Of This House, Peaceably If We Can, Forcibly If We Must.

I Have No Commiseration For Princes. My Sympathies Are Reserved For The Great Mass Of Mankind ….

I Always Have Had, And Always Shall Have, A Profound Regard For Christianity, The Religion Of My Fathers, And For Its Rights, Its Usages And Observances.

Peaceably If We Can, Forcibly If We Must.
