War's Legitimate Object Is More Perfect Peace.

War Is The Remedy That Our Enemies Have Chosen, And I Say Let Us Give Them All They Want.

If Nominated By Either Party, I Should Peremptorily Decline, And Even If Unanimously Elected, I Should Decline To Serve.

The Whole Army Is Burning With An Insatiable Desire To Wreak Violence Upon South Carolina. I Almost Tremble For Her Fate.

I Begin To Regard The Death And Mangling Of A Couple Thousand Men As A Small Affair, A Kind Of Morning Dash-and It May Be Well That We Become So Hardened.

I Know I Had No Hand In Making This War, And I Know I Will Make More Sacrifices To-day Than Any Of You To Secure Peace.
