Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
Our family of states is already large enough to create embarrassment in the Senate, and a republic should not hold dependent provinces or possessions.
The Union already embraces discordant elements enough without adding others.
Though my grateful thanks are due to them and have been often expressed, yet I have felt, as they do, that my duty was to the whole country.
