More from John Sherman
It was the same old story of injustice and wrong, of might against right.
Resolved, That the people who constitute the supreme power in the United States, should guard with jealous care the rights of the several states, as independent governments.
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 would regard it as a public calamity to have the power of this House placed, directly or indirectly, under the control of this administration.
