<h3>"A BOUNTEOUS PRESIDENT--IF ANYTHING IS LEFT!"</h3>
<p>"Mr. Speaker, we have all heard of the animal standing in doubt
between two stacks of hay and starving to death; the like of that
would never happen to General Cass. Place the stacks a thousand miles
apart; he would stand stock-still, midway between them, and eat both
at once; and the green grass along the line would be apt to suffer
some, too, at the same time. By all means, make him President,
gentlemen. He will feed you bounteously--if--if--there is anything
left after he shall have helped himself."--(Speech, House of
Representatives, July 27, 1848.)
