A State infinitely worse than that which the most inflamed Zealot, the most violent Republican or Enthusiast even pretended to dread before the Rebellion commenced.

To comprehend the Wisdom of this Injunction the better, and explain the Duty before us, it should be considered, that Government is the only Means by which human Happiness can be attained.

A Failure in this Duty did once involve our Nation in all the Horrors of Rebellion and Civil War.

The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion.

If notwithstanding, a Rebellion of the same Kind now afflicts this Country, we should not infer that this Institution is useless, or should be laid aside; but just the Reverse.

Even in my most inflamed moment I never supported a racist mass murderer.
