Sherman advocates for a new measure to reduce the nation's annual interest payments if the current bill fails.

The Union already embraces discordant elements enough without adding others.
The life of a civilian is in what he says or writes, that of a soldier in what he does.
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.
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.
