Side 127 - ... kindred dwellers in the house appointed for all the living. I have no complaint to make, no wrong to forgive. If in the exercise of authority a word to wound has been spoken by me, let the motive bereave it of its harshness, and the feelings it awakened be numbered with the things forgotten, or at rest.
Side 246 - RANDOLPH disclaimed any intention to give indefinite powers to the National Legislature, de•claring that he was entirely opposed to such an inroad on the State jurisdictions ; and that he did not think any considerations whatever could ever change his determination. His opinion was fixed on this point.
Side 238 - It granulates !" Inside and outside of the building one could have heard the wonderful tidings, flying from mouth to mouth, and dying in the distance, as if a hundred glad echoes were telling it to one another.
