Sherman expresses confidence that a strong electoral victory in Ohio would solidify the party's principles and promote industrial development.

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 life of a civilian is in what he says or writes, that of a soldier in what he does.
Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
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.
