No President Who Performs His Duties Faithfully

It Is Confidently Believed That Our System May Be Safely Extended To The Utmost Bounds Of Our Territorial Limits.

There Is More Selfishness And Less Principle Among Members Of Congress Than I Had Any Conception Of, Before I Became President Of The U.s.

Under The Benignant Providence Of Almighty God The Representatives Of The States And Of The People Are Again Brought Together To Deliberate For The Public Good. The Gratitude Of The Nation To The Sovereign Arbiter Of All Human Events Should Be Commensurate With The Boundless Blessings Which We Enjoy. Peace, Plenty, And Contentment Reign Throughout Our Borders, And Our Beloved Country Presents A Sublime Moral Spectacle To The World.

No President Who Performs His Duties Faithfully And Conscientiously Can Have Any Leisure. If He Entrusts The Details And Smaller Matters To Subordinates Constant Errors Will Occur. I Prefer To Supervise The Whole Operations Of The Government Myself Rather Than Entrust The Public Business To Subordinates, And This Makes My Duties Very Great.

There Are Four Great Measures For My Administration - A Reduction Of Tariff, An Independent Treasury, Settlement Of The Oregon Boundary And Acquisition Of California.
