- "The proper choice of a location was now to be the great question of my future success. I had determined on giving my attention to the raising of the smaller fruits for the great markets of New York and Philadelphia. I must therefore be somewhere on or near the railroad between those cities, and as near as possible to a station. The soil of Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, was too heavy for some of the lighter fruits. New Jersey, with its admirable sandy loam light, warm, and of surprisingly easy tillage, was proverbially adapted for the growth of all market produce, whether fruit or vegetable, and was at the same time a week or two earlier. Land was far cheaper, there was no State debt, taxes were merely nominal, and an acre that could be bought for thirty dollars could be made four times as productive as an acre of the best wheat land in Pennsylvania. Such results are regularly realized by hundreds of Jerseymen from year to year."
- "The Board of Education have proposed, and the Governor concurs, that the schools should be free. There are fifteen hundred schools in the State, seven hundred of which are free: and it seems to me that it would be a great thing to make them all free. (Cheers.) If you will do this, you will never be afraid to look a Jerseyman, who is a true patriot, in the face. When this is done, a great desire for knowledge will spring up in the minds of the rising generation, and wise legislators will meet the wants as they come."
