The Education Of A Man Is Never

I Have Been Up To See The Congress And They Do Not Seem To Be Able To Do Anything Except To Eat Peanuts And Chew Tobacco, While My Army Is Starving.

My Trust Is In The Mercy And Wisdom Of A Kind Providence, Who Ordereth All Things For Our Good.

I Pray That On This Day [christmas] When Only Peace And Good-will Are Preached To Mankind, Better Thoughts May Fill The Hearts Of Our Enemies And Turn Them To Peace.

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.

We Failed, But In The Good Providence Of God Apparent Failure Often Proves A Blessing.
