Life Is Hard But So Very Beautiful

I Am A Little Uneasy About The Abolishment Of Slavery In This District Of Columbia.

The World Has Never Had A Good Definition Of The Word Liberty, And The American People, Just Now, Are Much In Want Of One. We All Declare For Liberty; But In Using The Same Word We Do Not All Mean The Same Thing.

[i]f The Policy Of The Government, Upon Vital Questions Affecting, The Whole People Is To Be Irrevocably Fixed By Decisions Of The Supreme Court, The Instant They Are Made, In Ordinary Litigation Between Parties In Personal Actions, The People Will Have Ceased, To Be Their Own Rulers, Having, To That Extent, Practically Resigned Their Government, Into The Hands Of That Eminent Tribunal.

If Elected I Shall Be Thankful; If Not, It Will Be All The Same.

If I Get 8 Hours To Cut A Tree I'll Spend 7 Hours To Sharp My Knife.
