More from John Tyler
I regard the question involved in these proceedings as one of vast magnitude.
In answer to the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 23d ultimo, requesting information upon the subject of embezzlement of public money, I transmit herewith a report from the Secretary of State.
The great question is—not as to the manner in which it shall be done, but whether it shall be accomplished or not.
Our prayers should evermore be offered up to the Father of the Universe for His wisdom to direct us in the path of our duty so as to enable us to consummate these high purposes.
