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?
I am considering, and shall not fail to act when satisfied that action will be proper.
I do the very best I know how--the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end.
If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
