Law Without Education Is A Dead Letter.

If Any Of My Men Kill Prisoners, I'll Kill Them.

I Am Succeeding Very Well So Far With My Legging, But It Is A Very Mean Business For A Man That Has Been Well Brought Up To Engage In. It Is The Only Way To Get A Bill From Cincinnati Through, So It Must Be Done.

Free Government Cannot Long Endure If Property Is Largely In A Few Hands, And Large Masses Of People Are Unable To Earn Homes, Education, And A Support In Old Age.

While I Am In Favor Of The Government Promptly Enforcing The Laws For The Present, Defending The Forts And Collecting The Revenue,i Am Not In Favor Of A War Policy With A View To The Conquest Of Any Of The Slave States; Except Such As Are Needed To Give Us A Good Boundary. If Maryland Attempts To Go Off, Suppress Her In Order To Save The Potomac And The District Of Columbia. Cut A Piece Off Of Western Virginia And Keep Missouri And All The Territories.

I Am A Radical In Thought (and Principle) And A Conservative In Method (and Conduct).
