More from John Sherman
It was the same old story of injustice and wrong, of might against right.
He theorizes about coercing a state when he should be enforcing the laws against rebellious citizens.
He took strong ground against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and in 1859 was a competitor with me for the position of speaker, but withdrew in my favor after the first ballot.
Let us, my friends, unite in electing him President of the United States.
