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.
The life of a civilian is in what he says or writes, that of a soldier in what he does.
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.
What I have written is no doubt clouded with partisanship, but I would not be honest if I did not express my attachment to my party.
