The Union already embraces discordant elements enough without adding others.
Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
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.
What I have written is no doubt clouded with partisanship, but I would not be honest if I did not express my attachment to my party.
