Let us, my friends, unite in electing him President of the United States.
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.
But, sir, I have no hope, while this House is constituted as it is now, of instituting any radical reform.
It is not in my blood and these gentlemen cannot put it there.
