may_v be_v safe_a to_o the_o nation_n we_o may_v acquiesse_n therein_o when_o we_o press_v they_o to_o give_v satisfaction_n in_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v make_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v good_a

first_o fight_v with_o we_o come_v to_o this_o first_o conclusion_n among_o ourselves_o that_o if_o we_o have_v be_v fight_v out_o of_o it_o necessity_n will_v have_v teach_v we_o patience_n but_o
