I would regard it as a public calamity to have the power of this House placed, directly or indirectly, under the control of this administration.
The policy of this country ought to be to make everything national as far as possible.
The legality of this legislature was denied by the great majority of the people who never acquiesced in or obeyed its enactments, thus taking the only course open to them to secure a lawful government.
I have given my views, speaking for no other man, frankly and fearlessly, and I will stand by them now and in the future.
