strength to stand in councils of the nation
and face those who may endeayor to over
throw our liberties. In the midst of all this
/ had but one anchor, from which / never
permitted myself to be cut loose-conscien-
tious conviction was my courage, the public
good my aim, and the constitution my guide.
