Strana 154 - All territory, places and possessions whatsoever taken by either party from the other during the War, or which may be taken after the signing of this Treaty excepting only the Islands hereinafter mentioned shall be restored without delay...
Strana 14 - My views have been fully explained to and approved by several of the principal officers of government, and I believe are well understood by the administration, and seen by it with complacency ; they are such as every man of honor, and every good citizen, must approve. ' ' Considering the high station you now fill in our national councils...
Strana 570 - Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
Strana 318 - The executive is playing a deep game to avoid, at this session, the responsibility of any decision on the bank question. It is not yet ascertained whether the bank, by forbearing to apply for a renewal of their charter, will or will not conform to the wishes of the president.

Strana 30 - A well organized and large army is at once liberated from any European employment, and ready, together with a superabundant naval force, to act immediately against us.

Strana 211 - I avail myself of this occasion to renew to you the assurances of my distinguished consideration, and pray God to preserve you many years!
Strana 168 - I deem otherwise. It seems to me he has labored very hard to protect the General, as far as he could without injury to himself. Although the General's friends this way, however, affect to consider Buchanan's letter as supporting the charge, it is possible the General himself, and the Nashville Committee may think otherwise, and complain of Buchanan. I should expect this, with some confidence, if they received the letter a little earlier than they may have seen the turn which the Atlantic editors...
Strana 107 - I am sometimes touched gently on the shoulder by a friend, for example, of General Jackson, who will thus address me, " My dear Sir, all my dependence is upon you, don't disappoint us, you know our partiality was for you next to the hero ; and how much we want a Western President.

Strana 191 - ... ever countenanced the charge of corruption against me. No man of sense and candor — at least none that know me — ever could, or did countenance it. Your frank admission that you would have voted as I did, between Mr. Adams and General Jackson, accords with the estimate I have always made of your intelligence, your independence, and your patriotism.
