I Cannot, Whilst President Of The United

Thank God, Under Our Constitution There Was No Connection Between Church And State.

There Are Four Great Measures For My Administration - A Reduction Of Tariff, An Independent Treasury, Settlement Of The Oregon Boundary And Acquisition Of California.

Public Opinion: May It Always Perform One Of Its Appropriate Offices, By Teaching The Public Functionaries Of The State And Of The Federal Government, That Neither Shall Assume The Exercise Of Powers Entrusted By The Constitution To The Other.

No President Who Performs His Duties Faithfully And Conscientiously Can Have Any Leisure. If He Entrusts The Details And Smaller Matters To Subordinates Constant Errors Will Occur. I Prefer To Supervise The Whole Operations Of The Government Myself Rather Than Entrust The Public Business To Subordinates, And This Makes My Duties Very Great.

The Passion For Office Among Members Of Congress Is Very Great, If Not Absolutely Disreputable, And Greatly Embarrasses The Operations Of The Government. They Create Offices By Their Own Votes And Then Seek To Fill Them Themselves.
