History Teaches Us Hope.

The Questions Which For Years Were In Dispute Between The State And General Government, And Which Unhappily Were Not Decided By The Dictates Of Reason, But Referred To The Decision Of War, Having Been Decided Against Us, It Is The Part Of Wisdom To Acquiesce In The Result, And Of Candor To Recognize The Fact.

I Endeavored To Give Thanks To Our Heavenly Father For All His Mercies To Me, For His Preservation Of Me Through All The Dangers I Have Passed, And All The Blessings Which He Has Bestowed Upon Me, For I Know I Fall Far Short Of My Obligations

You Must Be Careful How You Walk And Where You Go, For There Are Those Following You Who Will Set Their Feet Where Yours Are Set.

History Teaches Us Hope.

For I Consider The Character Of No Man Affected By A Want Of Success, Provided He Has Made An Honest Effort To Succeed.
