Vicksburg Is The Nail Head That Holds

How Idle Is This Prating About Natural Rights As Though Still Containing All That Had Been Forfeited.

Nothing Fills Me With Deeper Sadness Than To See A Southerner Apologizing For The Defense We Made Of Our Inheritance.

A Government, To Afford The Needful Protection And Exercise Proper Care For The Welfare Of A People, Must Have Homogeneity In Its Constituents. It Is This Necessity Which Has Divided The Human Race Into Separate Nations, And Finally Has Defeated The Grandest Efforts Which Conquerors Have Made To Give Unlimited Extent To Their Domain.

A Restitution Of The Union Has Been Rendered Forever Impossible.

Truthfulness Is A Cornerstone In Character, And If It Be Not Firmly Laid In Youth, There Will Ever After Be A Weak Spot In The Foundation.
