Every head should be cultivated.

Negro equality, Fudge!! How long in the Government of a God great enough to make and maintain this Universe, shall there continue to be knaves to vend and fools to gulp, so low a piece of demagoguism as this?

While I have often said that all men out to be free, yet I would allow those colored persons to be slaves who want to be and next to them those white persons who argue in favor of making other people slaves. I am in favor of giving an opportunity to such white men to try it on for themselves.

The President to-night has a dream: - He was in a party of plain people, and, as it became known who he was, they began to comment on his appearance. One of them said: - He is a very common-looking man. The President replied: - The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he makes so many of them.

Received as I am by the members of a legislature the majority of whom do not agree with me in political sentiments, I trust that I may have their assistance in piloting the ship of state through this voyage, surrounded by perils as it is for if it should suffer wreck now, there will be no pilot ever needed for another voyage.
