In Calm Water Every Ship

The Friendliness And Charity Of Our Countrymen Can Always Be Relied Upon To Relieve Their Fellow Citizens In Misfortune. This Has Been Repeatedly And Quite Lately Demonstrated. Federal Aid In Such Cases Encourages The Expectation Of Paternal Care On The Part Of The Government And Weakens The Sturdiness Of Our National Character, While It Prevents The Indulgence Among Our People Of That Kindly Sentiment And Conduct Which Strengthens The Bonds Of A Common Brotherhood.

Honor Lies In Honest Toil.

Every Citizen Owes To The Country A Vigilant Watch And Close Scrutiny Of Its Public Servants And A Fair And Reasonable Estimate Of Their Fidelity.

Officeholders Are The Agents Of The People, Not Their Masters.

Loyalty To The Principles Upon Which Our Government Rests Positively Demands That The Equality Before The Law Which It Guarantees To Every Citizen Should Be Justly And In Good Faith Conceded In All Parts Of The Land.
