Seite 366 - When the Parliament Bill, in the form which it has now assumed, returns to the House of Commons we shall be compelled to ask that House to disagree with the Lords' amendments.

On the 16th, the enemy attacked General Butler in his position in front of Drury's Bluff.

It may be well questioned whether fear after a certain age, is a motive to which we should have ordinary recourse. The human character is susceptible of other incitements to correct conduct, more worthy of employ, and of better effect.
Seite 25 - The whole South is in a state of revolution, into which Virginia, after a long struggle, has been drawn ; and though I recognize no necessity for this state of things, and would have forborne and pleaded to the end for redress of grievances, real or supposed, yet in my own person I had to meet the question whether I would take part against my native State.
Seite 25 - With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen, I have not been able to make up my mind to raise my hand against my relatives, my children, my home.
Seite 359 - And let me add this: that in no case would we recommend a dissolution except under such conditions as will secure that in the new Parliament the judgment of the people as expressed in the election will be carried into law.
