More from Andrew Jackson
It is from within, among yourselves--from cupidity, from corruption, from disappointed ambition and inordinate thirst for power--that factions will be formed and liberty endangered.
The power, however, is in your hands, and the remedy must and will be applied if you determine upon it.
