Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our

eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into
beasts.' Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty?
Are we disposed to be of the number of those who having eyes, see not, and, having
ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part,
whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the
worst, and to provide for it.
