SIMON CAMERON

I authorize no bargains and will be bound by none.

I suppose we could say of Gen. Cameron that he is not Democrat enough to hurt him.

An honest politician is one who, when he is bought, will stay bought.

I am tired of all this sort of thing called science here... We have spent millions in that sort of thing for the last few years, and it is time it should be stopped.

President Lincoln desires the right to hold slaves to be fully recognized. The [Civil] war is prosecuted for the Union, hence no question concerning slavery will arise.

After the campaign we shall place a list of those who have not paid in the hands of the head of the department you are in.

What could you expect with a man who had snubbed seventy senators?
