To a President.

All you are doing and saying is to America dangled mirages;
You have not learn'd of Nature—of the politics of Nature, you have not learn'd the great amplitude, rectitude, impartiality;
You have not seen that only such as they are for These States,
And that what is less than they, must sooner or later lift off from These States.
