Proud of Ohio, of its history and people, willing at all times to sound its praise in the sisterhood of states, yet, according to my convictions, the United States is entitled to my allegiance, and all parts of it should receive equal care…
Our family of states is already large enough to create embarrassment in the Senate, and a republic should not hold dependent provinces or possessions.
It was settled by this war that we have a country limited in its powers by the constitution of the United States fairly construed.
Canada and Mexico as independent republics will be more valuable to the United States than if carved into additional states.
