Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
The Union already embraces discordant elements enough without adding others.
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.
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.
