Duty Is Ours, Results Are

Our Constitution Professedly Rests Upon The Good Sense And Attachment Of The People. This Basis, Weak As It May Appear, Has Not Yet Been Found To Fail.

Of The Two Great Political Parties Which Have Divided The Opinions And Feelings Of Our Country, The Candid And The Just Will Now Admit That Both Have Contributed Splendid Talents, Spotless Integrity, Ardent Patriotism, And Disinterested Sacrifices To The Formation And Administration Of This Government, And That Both Have Required A Liberal Indulgence For A Portion Of Human Infirmity And Error.

Man Wants But Little Here Below Nor Wants That Little Long, 'tis Not With Me Exactly So; But 'tis So In The Song. My Wants Are Many, And, If Told, Would Muster Many A Score; And Were Each Wish A Mint Of Gold, I Still Should Long For More.

I Have To Study Politics And War So That My Sons Can Study Mathematics, Commerce And Agriculture, So Their Sons Can Study Poetry, Painting And Music.

Roll, Years Of Promise, Rapidly Roll Round, Till Not A Slave Shall On This Earth Be Found.
