A Victim Of The Use

I Preferred Measuring Deer Tracks To Tape - That I Liked The Wild Liberty Of The Red Men Better Then The Tyranny Of My Brothers.

I Love Texas Too Well To Bring Civil Strife And Bloodshed Upon Her.

A Leader Is Someone Who Helps Improve The Lives Of Other People Or Improve The System They Live Under.

I Have Ever Been Opposed To Banks, - Opposed To Internal Improvements By The General Government, - Opposed To Distribution Of Public Lands Among The States, - Opposed To Taking The Power From The Hands Of The People, - Opposed To Special Monopolies, - Opposed To A Protective Tariff, - Opposed To A Latitudinal Construction Of The Constitution, - Opposed To Slavery Agitation And Disunion. This Is My Democracy. Point To A Single Act Of My Public Career Not In Keeping With These Principles.

Let Me Tell You What Is Coming.... Your Fathers And Husbands, Your Sons And Brothers, Will Be Herded At The Point Of The Bayonet... You May, After The Sacrifice Of Countless Millions Of Treasure And Of Thousands Of Lives, As A Bare Possibility, Win Southern Independence...but I Doubt It.
