A Land Without Memories Is A People

If We Do Not Do This Our Churches Will Lighthouses Without Light, Wells Without Water, Dumb Witnesses, Sleeping Watchmen, Silent Trumpets, Messengers Without Tidings, A Comfort For Infidels, Jubilant Joys To The Devil, And An Offense To God.

I Can Anticipate No Greater Calamity For The Country Than The Dissolution Of The Union. It Would Be An Accumulation Of All The Evils We Complain Of, And I Am Willing To Sacrifice Everything But Honor For Its Preservation.

The Questions Which For Years Were In Dispute Between The State And General Government, And Which Unhappily Were Not Decided By The Dictates Of Reason, But Referred To The Decision Of War, Having Been Decided Against Us, It Is The Part Of Wisdom To Acquiesce In The Result, And Of Candor To Recognize The Fact.

I Am Of The Opinion That All Who Can Should Vote For The Most Intelligent, Honest, And Conscientious Men Eligible To Office, Irrespective Of Former Party Opinions, Who Will Endeavour To Make The New Constitutions And The Laws Passed Under Them As Beneficial As Possible To The True Interests, Prosperity, And Liberty Of All Classes And Conditions Of The People.

The Dominant Party Cannot Reign Forever, And Truth And Justice Will Prevail At Last.
