To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace.
Under these circumstances, to discharge the dragoons does not seem to comport with economy.
Those who have been blessed with the privileges of education should be the guardians of those privileges for the benefit of all.
Satisfied, therefore, that you have sincerely wished and endeavored to avert war, and exhausted to the last drop the cup of reconciliation, we can with pure hearts appeal to Heaven for the justice of our cause.
