More from John Sherman
Resolved, That the people who constitute the supreme power in the United States, should guard with jealous care the rights of the several states, as independent governments.
This power in the hands of a few is at this moment the disturbing element in many of our great industries.
The policy of this country ought to be to make everything national as far as possible.
God forbid that the despots of the Old World should ever adorn their infernal logic by pointing to a disrupted Union here!
