128. ADMINISTRATION, Harmonious.—
That there is only one minister who is
not opposed to me, is totally unfounded.
There never was a more harmonious, a more
cordial administration, nor ever a moment
when it has been otherwise. And while differences
of opinion have been always rare
among us, I can affirm, that as to present
matters, there was not a single paragraph in
my message to Congress, or those supplementary
to it, in which there was not a unanimity
of concurrence in the members of the administration.—
