Peace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects, and so will continue while the present order of things in America remain uninterrupted.

If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War.

All we are saying is give peace a chance.

Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.
