Excerpt from The True Basis of American Independence: A Lecture Before the American Institute, New York, Oct; 20, 1853, in the Broadway Tabernacle
A statesman's claim to the gratitude of his country rests on what were, or what would have been, the results Of the policy he has recommended. If the counsels of James Tallmadge had completely prevailed, then not only would American forests, mines, soil, invention, and industry, have rendered our country, now and forever, independent of all other nations, except for what climate forbids but then, also, no menial hand would ever have guided a plough, and no footstep of a slave would ever have been tracked on the soil of all that vast part of our national do main that stretches away from the banks of the Mississippi to the far western ocean.
