Σελίδα 317 - The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and to collect the duties and imposts; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion, no using of force against or among the people anywhere.
Σελίδα 233 - A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free.
