LEWIS CASS

By all means, make him [Democrat General Lewis Cass] President, gentlemen. He will feed you bounteously – if there is any left after he has helped himself.

People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.

The United States will never ask for your land there. This I promise you in the name of your great father, the President. That country he assigns to his red people, to be held by them and their children's children forever.

We are all striving to acquire riches of honor or power, or some other object, whose possession is to realize the day dreams of our imaginations; and the aggregate of these efforts constitutes the advance of our society.

Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom. - A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation.

Independent of its connection with human destiny hereafter, the fate of republican government is indissolubly bound up with the fate of the Christian religion, and a people who reject its holy faith will find themselves the slaves of their own evil passions and of arbitrary power.

We must frequently promote their [Native Americans] interest against their inclination.
