It was settled by this war that we have a country limited in its powers by the constitution of the United States fairly construed.
The life of a civilian is in what he says or writes, that of a soldier in what he does.
If my life is prolonged I will do all I can to add to the strength and prosperity of the United States, but nothing to extend its limits or to add new dangers by acquisition of foreign territory.
During forty years of public life, though many able men have aspired to the office I hold, the people of Ohio, through their general assembly, have preferred me to represent them.
