Seite 272 - ... the Palladium of your political safety and prosperity; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event be abandoned, and indignantly frowning upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our Country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.

Seite 531 - To-day the United States is practically sovereign on this continent, and its fiat is law upon the subjects to which it confines its interposition.

Seite 379 - Physically speaking, we cannot separate. We cannot remove our respective sections from each other, nor build an impassable wall between them.
