The Will Of The People

The United States, Knowing No Distinction Of Her Own Citizens On Account Of Religion Or Nationality, Naturally Believes In A Civilization The World Over Which Will Secure The Same Universal Laws.

There Are Many Men Who Would Have Done Better Than I Did Under The Circumstances In Which I Found Myself. If I Had Never Held Command, If I Had Fallen, There Were 10,000 Behind Who Would Have Followed The Contest To The End And Never Surrendered The Union.

If We Are To Have Another Contest In The Near Future Of Our National Existence, I Predict That The Dividing Line Will Not Be Mason And Dixon's But Between Patriotism And Intelligence On The One Side, And Superstition, Ambition And Ignorance On The Other.

I Never Wanted To Get Out Of A Place As Much As I Did To Get Out Of The Presidency.

I Propose To Fight It Out On This Line If It Takes All Summer.
