I trust in due time to lay the perfidy, meanness, and wickedness of [Henry] Clay naked before the American people.

Combinations of wickedness would overwhelm the world, by the advantage which licentious principles afford, did not those who have long practised perfidy grow faithless to each other.
Samuel Johnson
