Stran 137 - That the 22d day of February, 1862, be the day for a general movement of the land and naval forces of the United States against the insurgent forces.
Stran 221 - And once more let me tell you, it is indispensable to you that you strike a blow. I am powerless to help this. You will do me the justice to remember I always insisted that going down the bay in search of a field, instead of fighting at or near Manassas...

I now think it indispensable for you to know how your struggle against it is received in quarters which we cannot entirely disregard. It is looked upon as merely an effort to pamper one or two pets, and to persecute and degrade their supposed rivals.
Stran 221 - This is a question which the country will not allow me to evade. "There is a curious mystery about the number of troops now with you.
Stran 44 - That Congress possesses no constitutional authority to interfere in any way with the institution of slavery in any of the States of this confederacy; and that in the opinion of this House, Congress ought not to interfere in any way with slavery in the District of Columbia...
Stran 221 - Do you really think I should permit the line from Richmond, via Manassas Junction to this city, to be entirely open, except what resistance could be presented by less than twenty thousand unorganized troops?
