It was settled by this war that we have a country limited in its powers by the constitution of the United States fairly construed.
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.

Our country, our whole country, and nothing but our country" has been the watchword and creed of my public life.
