We have done no wrong; we have no apologies to make, and no concessions to offer.
Nothing is wanting but cultivation to make this a most delightful country.
I believe that it will give a reasonable fair protection for the great industries of agriculture, manufacture, and commerce, which lie at the basis of the prosperity of this country.
I have given my views, speaking for no other man, frankly and fearlessly, and I will stand by them now and in the future.
