It was settled by this war that we have a country limited in its powers by the constitution of the United States fairly construed.
Canada and Mexico as independent republics will be more valuable to the United States than if carved into additional states.
Though my grateful thanks are due to them and have been often expressed, yet I have felt, as they do, that my duty was to the whole country.
