The Destructive Male
—
en DiscursosI urge a sixteenth amendment, because ‘manhood suffrage,’ or a man’s government, is civil, religious, and social disorganization. The male element is a destructive force, stern, selfish, aggrandizing, loving war, violence, conquest, acquisition, breeding in the material and moral world alike discord, disorder, disease, and death. See what a record of blood and cruelty the…

Speech In Favor of Capital Punishment
—
en DiscursosIt would be a great satisfaction to me if I were able to support this Motion. It is always a matter of regret to me to find myself, on a public question, opposed to those who are called—sometimes in the way of honour, and sometimes in what is intended for ridicule—the philanthropists. Of all persons…

About to consider the state of Ireland
—
en DiscursosIt is said by eminent censors of the press that this debate will yield about thirty hours of talk, and will end in no result. I have observed that all great questions in this country require thirty hours of talk many times repeated before they are settled. There is much shower and much sunshine between…

Toma de posesión como Presidente
—
en DiscursosCiudadanos diputados: La confianza del pueblo, que se ha dignado honrarme otra vez con sus votos, me impone nuevos y sagrados deberes. Con el propósito leal y patriótico de cumplirlos, he venido a hacer, ante vosotros, la protesta solemne que prescribe nuestro Código fundamental. Apenas acaba de pasar el conflicto en que la guerra comprometió…

State of the Union Address
—
en DiscursosFellow—Citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives: The continued disorganization of the Union, to which the President has so often called the attention of Congress, is yet a subject of profound and patriotic concern. We may, however, find some relief from that anxiety in the reflection that the painful political situation, although before untried…

La revolución
—
en DiscursosEspañoles: Ha llegado la hora de pelear y de concluir, de una vez para siempre, con los que os vienen oprimiendo. La dignidad de la patria lo exige, el triunfo de la libertad lo reclama. «La inmoralidad en las altas esferas sostenida por la adulación oficial y por el despotismo oficinesco han hecho indispensable un…

Speech on the Reform Bill
—
en DiscursosAnd, Sir, I think it cannot be said that this was a measure which bristled with securities and precautions that have been given up at the bidding of our opponents. That a great many of them have been given up I shall not deny; but they have been given up not always or in the…

An Appeal to Congress for Impartial Suffrage
—
en DiscursosA very limited statement of the argument for impartial suffrage, and for including the negro in the body politic, would require more space than can be reasonably asked here. It is supported by reasons as broad as the nature of man, and as numerous as the wants of society. Man is the only government-making animal…

Indemnity Bill
—
en DiscursosThe more honestly the royal government desires peace, the more its members feel obliged to refrain from any discussion of past criticisms…. Remember the lesson from foreign affairs, that peace can hardly ever be concluded if one demands as a precondition that one of the parties confess: “Now I see that I acted unjustly.†We…

Austria and Prussia
—
en DiscursosSir, this debate has lasted for some time, and, as was to be expected, many and various opinions have been expressed by those hon. gentlemen who have taken part in it. I hope it will not be supposed that, on the one hand, I necessarily agree or acquiesce in those opinions which I do not…
