It Is Confidently Believed That Our System

No President Who Performs His Duties Faithfully And Conscientiously Can Have Any Leisure.

Foreign Powers Do Not Seem To Appreciate The True Character Of Our Government.

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.

One Great Object Of The Constitution Was To Restrain Majorities From Oppressing Minorities Or Encroaching Upon Their Just Rights.

The Constitution Itself, Plainly Written As It Is, The Safeguard Of Our Federative Compact, The Offspring Of Concession And Compromise, Binding Together In The Bonds Of Peace And Union This Great And Increasing Family Of Free And Independent States, Will Be The Chart By Which I Shall Be Directed.
