Every word about peace and compromise is fruitless, except to lessen our strength, and add to that of the enemy. ... If this nation wants to exist, at all, I warn it against any cheap, insipid termination of the contest. Give the enemy an inch and they will take an ell. ... We want a man at the head of the nation who will combine the goodness and wisdom of Washington with the iron energy of Jackson. Are people so blind that they cannot find some old Hickory to put a new and proper face on things? After all our sacrifices, so melancholy, we must have a result, the grandeur of which shall shield us from historic contempt, and make our tears of woe acceptable to the dead!
