'In my opposition to the admission of Kansas I shall have some company; but we may be beaten. If we are, I shall not, on that account,
attempt to dissolve the Union. On the contrary, if we succeed, there will be enough of us to take care of the Union. I think it probable, however, we shall be beaten. Standing as a unit among yourselves, you can, directly, and indirectly,
bribe enough of our men to carry the day---as you could on an open proposition to establish monarchy.'
