“ The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible.”
“ The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism.” “ The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you.” “ It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” “ I have always been averse to the spirit of party.” " In the course of my official duty, I have been led to consider the importance of the Union." " The unity of government...is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence." " The great object of my anxiety has been to promote the happiness of my fellow citizens." |
