Nothing Fills Me With Deeper

The Troops Of Other States Have Their Reputation To Gain, The Sons Of The Alamo Have Theirs To Maintain.

Slavery Existed Before The Formation Of This Union. It Derived From The Constitution That Recognition Which It Would Not Have Enjoyed Without The Confederation. If The States Had Not United Together, There Would Have Been No Obligation On Adjoining States To Regard Any Species Of Property Unknown To Themselves.

Every One Must Understand That, Whatever Be The Evil Of Slavery, It Is Not Increased By Its Diffusion. Every One Familiar With It Knows That It Is In Proportion To Its Sparseness That It Becomes Less Objectionable. Wherever There Is An Immediate Connexion Between The Master And Slave, Whatever There Is Of Harshness In The System Is Diminished.

A Question Settled By Violence, Or In Disregard Of Law, Must Remain Unsettled Forever.

A Government, To Afford The Needful Protection And Exercise Proper Care For The Welfare Of A People, Must Have Homogeneity In Its Constituents. It Is This Necessity Which Has Divided The Human Race Into Separate Nations, And Finally Has Defeated The Grandest Efforts Which Conquerors Have Made To Give Unlimited Extent To Their Domain.
