There Are But Few Important Events In

In 1856...i Preferred The Success Of A Candidate Whose Election Would Prevent Or Postpone Secession, To Seeing The Country Plunged Into A War The End Of Which No Man Could Foretell. With A Democrat Elected By The Unanimous Vote Of The Slave States, There Could Be No Pretext For Secession For Four Years.... I Therefore Voted For James Buchanan As President.

Wherever The Enemy Goes Let Our Troops Go Also.

It Was My Fortune, Or Misfortune, To Be Called To The Office Of Chief Executive Without Any Previous Political Training.

If You See The President, Tell Him From Me That Whatever Happens There Will Be No Turning Back.

There Are But Few Important Events In The Affairs Of Men Brought About By Their Own Choice.
