John Tyler actually said...

"In compliance with the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 27th ultimo, I now transmit the letter and pamphlet which accompanies this."

"I have hitherto flattered myself that the motives which influenced my conduct had been fully appreciated by those who advised and approved it."

"No application or request has been made to this Government to become a party to this treaty."

"The treaty has not been communicated to the Government of the United States from any other quarter, in any other manner, or for any other purpose."
