Men, Do As I Say And I

We Are Born On The Same Soil, Breathe The Same Air, Live On The Same Land, And Why Should We Not Be Brothers And Sisters?

I Loved The Old Government In 1861. I Loved The Old Constitution Yet. I Think It Is The Best Government In The World, If Administered As It Was Before The War. I Do Not Hate It; I Am Opposing Now Only The Radical Revolutionists Who Are Trying To Destroy It. I Believe That Party To Be Composed, As I Know It Is In Tennessee, Of The Worst Men On Gods Earth - Men Who Would Not Hesitate At No Crime, And Who Have Only One Object In View - To Enrich Themselves.

If One Road Led To Hell And The Other To Mexico, I Would Be Indifferent Which To Take.

Never Stand And Take A Charge... Charge Them Too.

I Am Not Here To Pass Civilities Or Compliments With You, But On Other Business. I Have Stood Your Meanness As Long As I Intend To. You Have Played The Part Of A Damned Scoundrel, And Are A Coward, And If You Were Any Part Of A Man I Would Slap Your Jaws And Force You To Resent It. You May As Well Not Issue Any More Orders To Me, For I Will Not Obey Them... And As I Say To You That If You Ever Again Try To Interfere With Me Or Cross My Path It Will Be At The Peril Of Your Life.
