Without yielding to any of these extreme views with regard to the mischiefs or the benefits of party, all should agree that the only true and legitimate object of such an association is to uphold, advance, and develop certain principles…
Far above any flickering light or battle-lantern of party is the everlasting sun of Truth, in whose beams are the duties of men.
