In this contest, we may borrow from the ancient Greek, who, when his hands were cut off, fought with his stumps, and even with his teeth.
I am opposed to a tariff for protection merely, and not for revenue."--Letter to John K.

Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
