I Have Reached The Summit Of My

Duties Have Been Mine; Consequences Are God's.

I Tell Our Sisters In The South That So Far As Tennessee Is Concerned She Will Not Be Dragged Into A Southern Or Any Other Confederacy Until She Has Had Time To Consider; And Then She Will Go When She Believes It To Be Her Interest, And Not Before.

Who, Then, Will Govern? The Answer Must Be, Man - For We Have No Angels In The Shape Of Men, As Yet, Who Are Willing To Take Charge Of Our Political Affairs.

For Myself, I Care Not Whether Treason Be Committed North Or South; He That Is Guilty Of Treason Is Entitled To A Traitor's Fate!

There Are No Good Laws But Such As Repeal Other Laws.
