If I Am To Be Shot At,

I Have Performed My Duty To My God, My Country, And My Family. I Have Nothing To Fear In Approaching Death. To Me It Is The Mere Shadow Of God's Protecting Wing . . . Here I Will Rest In Quiet And Peace Beyond The Reach Of Calumny's Poisoned Shaft, The Influence Of Envy And Jealous Enemies, Where Treason And Traitors Or State Backsliders And Hypocrites In Church Can Have No Peace.

My Right Side Is Paralyzed. I Need No Doctor. I Can Overcome My Own Troubles.

There Are Some Who Lack Confidence In The Integrity And Capacity Of The People To Govern Themselves. To All Who Entertain Such Fears I Will Most Respectfully Say That I Entertain None. If Man Is Not Capable, And Is Not To Be Trusted With The Government Of Himself, Is He To Be Trusted With The Government Of Others? 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.

Let Us Look Forward To The Time When We Can Take The Flag Of Our Country And Nail It Below The Cross, And There Let It Wave As It Waved In The Olden Times, And Let Us Gather Around It And Inscribed For Our Motto: 'liberty And Union, One And Inseparable, Now And Forever,' And Exclaim, 'christ First, Our Country Next!'

I Never Thought I Would Be Impeached.
