In my proper character, I am an officer of the United States Army.

I am proud to be a member of the Congress of the United States.

Among various demands and charges I gave them, was, that the said flag should be delivered to me, and one of the United States' flags be received and hoisted in its place.

I am a freeman, an American, a United States Senator, and a Democrat, in that order.

In the United States, I am a great success, but I am not a celebrity.

I am unusual for a Frenchman - I have absolutely nothing against the United States.
