Sivu 194 - ... has prevailed with regard to the powers of Congress for legislation upon objects of this nature. The most respectful deference is due to doubts, originating in pure patriotism, and sustained by venerated authority. But nearly twenty years have passed since the construction of the first national road was commenced. The authority for its construction was then unquestioned. To how many thousands of our countrymen has it proved a benefit? To what single individual has it ever proved an injury...
Sivu 134 - That the Constitution does not confer upon the General Government the power to commence and carry on a general system of internal improvements.
Sivu 164 - The western States (I speak now from my own observation) stand as it were upon a pivot. The touch of a feather would turn them any way.
Sivu 139 - The true rule in determining to embrace or reject anything, is not whether it have any evil in it, .but whether it have more of evil tha'n of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good. Almost everything, especially of government policy, is an inseparable compound of the two ; so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded.

Sivu 81 - Among the means of advancing the public interest the occasion is a proper one for recalling the attention of Congress to the great importance of establishing throughout our country the roads and canals which can best be executed under the national authority.
Sivu 136 - The veto message and the Baltimore resolution I understand to be, in substance, the same thing; the latter being the more general statement, of which the former is the amplification — the bill of particulars. While I know there are many Democrats, on this floor and elsewhere, who disapprove that message, I understand that all who shall vote for General Cass will thereafter be counted as having approved it, — as having indorsed all its doctrines.
Sivu 194 - Some diversity of opinion has prevailed with regard to the powers of Congress for legislation upon subjects of this nature. The most respectful deference is due to doubts originating in pure patriotism, and sustained by venerated authority.
