The hydra of corruption is only scotched, not dead. An investigation kills and it and its supporters dead. Let this be had.
Andrew Jackson
In this point of the case the question is distinctly presented whether the people of the United States are to govern through representatives chosen by their unbiased suffrages or whether the money and power of a great corporation are to be secretly exerted to influence their judgment and control their decisions.
Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson
John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation I will secede your head from the rest of your body.
