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

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.
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.
