After The White House What Is There

I Cannot Find Any Authority In The Constitution For Public Charity.

Readily And, I Trust, Feelingly Acknowledge The Duty Incumbent On Us All . . . To Provide For Those Who, In The Mysterious Order Of Providence, Are Subject To Want And To Disease Of Body Or Mind; But I Cannot Find Any Authority In The Constitution For Making The Federal Government The Great Almoner Of Public Charity Throughout The United States . . . .

I Find The Remark, "tis Distance Lends Enchantment To The View" Is No Less True Of The Political Than Of The Natural World.

There Is Nothing Left To Do But Get Drunk.

In Expressing Briefly My Views Upon An Important Subject Which Has Recently Agitated The Nation..., I Fervently Hope That The Question Is At Rest And That No Sectional Or Ambitious Or Fanatical Excitement May Again Threaten The Durability Of Our Institutions.
