And why, sir ? With you, gentlemen Senators of the free states, what is it ? An abstraction, a sentiment a sentiment, if you please, of humanity and philanthropy a noble sentiment, when directed rightly, with no sinister or party purposes ;...
54. lappuse - Constitution and the harmony and peace of all who are destined to live under it. Let us make our generation one of the strongest and brightest links in that golden chain which is destined, I fondly believe, to grapple the people of all the States to this Constitution for ages to come.
