I feel much alarmed at the prospect of seeing General Jackson President. He is the most unfit man I know for such a place.

Questions of natural right are triable by their conformity with the moral sense and reason of man.

The principles on which we engaged, of which the charter of our independence is the record, were sanctioned by the laws of our being, and we but obeyed them in pursuing undeviatingly the course they called for. It issued finally in that inestimable state of freedom which alone can ensure to man the enjoyment of his equal rights.

There is a fulness of time when men should go, and not occupy too long the ground to which others have a right to advance.

While old men feel sensibly enough their own advance in years, they do not sufficiently recollect it in those whom they have seenyoung.

It is wonderful to me that old men should not be sensible that their minds keep pace with their bodies in the progress of decay.

Every man's reason is his own rightful umpire. This principle, with that of acquiescence in the will of the majority, will preserve us free and prosperous as long as they are sacredly observed.

The moral sense is the first excellence of well-organized man.
