Grant that he desires the elective franchise, will he not attain it sooner by saving the already advanced steps towards it, than by running backward over them?
If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me won't amount to anything.
I do the very best I know how--the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end.
