Quote:

[...] The gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Randolph) has objected to the destination of this auxiliary force; the occupation of the Canadas and the other British possessions upon our borders, [...] I should not wish to extend the boundary of the U. States by a war, if Great Britain would leave us to the quiet enjoyment of independence; but considering her deadly and implacable enmity, and her continued hostility, I shall never die contented until I see her expulsion from North America and her territories incorporated with the United States. [...]

The Congressional Reporter: containing, a list of members of the twelfth congress, the president's message, the public documents, and the debates on all interesting questions agitated during the session, commencing on the first Monday of November 1811, Printed at Concord, [no. 8,] p. 114.

[...] The waters of the St. Lawrence and the Mississippi interlock in a number of places; and the Great Disposer of human events intended those two rivers should belong to the same people.
