Matching Quote
"The treatment of the incident of the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore is so
conciliatory
and friendly that I am of the opinion that there is a good prospect that the differences growing out of that serious affair can now be adjusted upon terms satisfactory to this Government by the usual methods and without special powers from Congress."
-Benjamin Harrison
