More from John Sherman
Nothing is wanting but cultivation to make this a most delightful country.
The worst evil that could befall our country is civil war, but the outrages in Kansas cannot be continued much longer without producing it.
The policy of this country ought to be to make everything national as far as possible.
That is all we ask, and what we demand at all hazards.
