We Must Ever Mandate The Principle That

The Presidency Is Not A Bed Of Roses.

Public Opinion: May It Always Perform One Of Its Appropriate Offices, By Teaching The Public Functionaries Of The State And Of The Federal Government, That Neither Shall Assume The Exercise Of Powers Entrusted By The Constitution To The Other.

There Is More Selfishness And Less Principle Among Members Of Congress Than I Had Any Conception Of, Before I Became President Of The U.s.

Under The Benignant Providence Of Almighty God The Representatives Of The States And Of The People Are Again Brought Together To Deliberate For The Public Good. The Gratitude Of The Nation To The Sovereign Arbiter Of All Human Events Should Be Commensurate With The Boundless Blessings Which We Enjoy. Peace, Plenty, And Contentment Reign Throughout Our Borders, And Our Beloved Country Presents A Sublime Moral Spectacle To The World.

The Constitution Itself, Plainly Written As It Is, The Safeguard Of Our Federative Compact, The Offspring Of Concession And Compromise, Binding Together In The Bonds Of Peace And Union This Great And Increasing Family Of Free And Independent States, Will Be The Chart By Which I Shall Be Directed.
