Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or party:
“If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“One thing you may be sure of, I was not a party to covering up anything.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
