The Union already embraces discordant elements enough without adding others.
Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
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 events of the future are beyond the vision of mankind, but I hope our people will be content with internal growth, and avoid the complications of foreign acquisitions.
