Strana 38 - That this court dares not usurp power is most true. That this court dares not shrink from its duty is not less true. No man is desirous of becoming the peculiar subject of calumny. No man, might he let the bitter cup pass from him without self-reproach, would drain it to the bottom.
Strana 49 - Let us help each other to show that for all the races of men the liberty for which we have fought and labored is the twin sister of justice and peace.
Strana 254 - Grand lodge of the most ancient and honorable fraternity of free and accepted masons of Pennsylvania, and % masonic Jurisdiction thereunto belonging: annual.
Strana 34 - It may be that such control would better be exercised in particular instances by the governments of the states, but the people will have the control they need, either from the states or from the national government; and if the states fail to furnish it in due measure sooner or later constructions of the constitution will be found to vest the power where it will be exercised— in the national government.
Strana 55 - In 1873 he served as a member of the board of visitors to the United States Naval Academy. In...
Strana 29 - What is to be the future of the States of the Union under our dual system of constitutional government? The conditions under which the clauses of the Constitution distributing powers to the National and State Governments are now and henceforth to be applied, are widely different from the conditions which were or could have been within the contemplation of the framers of the Constitution, and widely different from those which obtained during the early years of the Republic.

As the tide of emigration swept westward, new states were formed of citizens who looked back to the older states as the homes of their childhood and their affection and the origin of their laws and customs, and who never had the peculiar and special, separate political life of the colonies. The Civil War settled the supremacy of the nation throughout...
Strana 34 - It is useless for the advocates of State rights to inveigh against the supremacy of the constitutional laws of the United States or against the extension of National authority in the fields of necessary control where the States themselves fail in the performance of their duty. The instinct for self-government among the people of the United States is too strong to permit them long to respect any one's right to exercise a power which he fails to exercise.
Strana 32 - Our whole life has swung away from the old state centers and is crystallizing about national centers; the farmer harvests his grain and fattens his cattle, not as formerly, with reference to the wants of his own home community, but for markets thousands of miles away; the manufacturer operates his mills and his factories to meet the needs of far-distant consumers; the merchant has his customers in many states; all — the farmer, the manufacturer, the merchant, the laborer — look for the supplies...
Strana 45 - Your flag and my flag! And, oh, how much it holds — Your land and my land — Secure within its folds! Your heart and my heart * Beat quicker at the sight; Sun-kissed and wind-tossed — Red and blue and white. The one flag — the great flag — the flag for me and you — Glorified all else beside — the red and white and blue!
