Doubtless the President possesses such further information as will justify the measure!"* To my mind, that is the worst act of his public life ; I cannot justify it.
315 psl. - Anna to the South, and the boundless wealth of captured towns, and rifled churches, and a lazy, vicious, and luxurious priesthood, would soon enable Texas to pay her soldiery, and redeem her State debt, and push her victorious arms to the very shores of the Pacific. And would not all this extend the bounds of Slavery ? Yes, the result would be, that before another quarter of a century, the extension of Slavery would not stop short of the Western Ocean.
33 psl. - There is a great and visible decay of the power of Godliness amongst many Professors in these Churches. It may be feared, that there is in too many spiritual and heart Apostacy from God...
