Excerpt from Address of His Excellency John An. Andrew, to the Two Branches of the Legislature of Massachusetts: January 8, 1864

The vigor of our fiscal condition is due to the fear less integrity with which preceding legislatures have regarded the financial wants and resources of the State. Adapting means to ends, they have taxed these resources sufficiently to create revenues ade quate to our duties and necessities. It will become your office, gentlemen, with equal confidence in the intelligent patriotism of the people, in like manner to require such material contributions to the common treasury as the public good may require, with the least possible resort to permanent loans or any of the expedients of delay.
