Daniel Webster
Image
Thank God, I also am an American!
Daniel Webster
Image

Daniel Webster
Image
Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution of your country and the government established under it. Leave evils which exist in some parts of the country, but which are beyond your control, to the all-wise direction of an over-ruling Providence. Perform those duties which are present, plain and positive. Respect the laws of your country.
Daniel Webster
