Seite 606 - In all the^ forms of government and administrative provisions which they are authorized to prescribe the Commission should bear in mind that the government which they are establishing is designed not for our satisfaction, or for the expression of our theoretical views, but for the happiness, peace, and prosperity of the people of the Philippine Islands...
Seite 399 - My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery.
