*** James Madison Second Inaugural Address Thursday, March 4, 1813 ABOUT to add the solemnity of an oath to the obligations imposed by a second call to the station in which my country heretofore placed me, I find in the presence of this respectable assembly an opportunity of publicly repeating my profound sense of so distinguished a confidence and of the responsibility united with it. They fail to see that the idealism of America will lead it to no narrow or selfish channel, but inspire it to do its full share as a nation toward the advancement of civilization. Our action now will be freer from mere partisan consideration than if the question of tariff revision was postponed until the regular session of Congress. I accept it with a deep resolve to do all that I can for the welfare of this Nation and for the peace of the world.
