Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Republican Party, Vol. 1 of 2: A History of Its Fifty Years Existence, and a Record of Its Measures and Leaders Among the many wise and notable utterances of Abraham Lincoln there is one which has attracted less attention than by rights it ought to have attracted. It was delivered on November 10, 1864, just after Lincoln´s re-election to the Presidency, and in response to a serenade. It runs in part as follows: "It has long been a grave question whether any government not too strong for the liberties of its people can be strong enough to maintain its existence in great emergencies. On this point the present rebellion brought our republic to a severe test and the Presidential election occurring in regular course during the rebellion, added not a little to the strain. . . The strife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts in the case. What has occurred in this case must ever occur in similar cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, as silly and as wise, as bad and as good. Let us therefore study the incidents in this as philosophy to learn wisdom from and none of them as wrongs to be avenged. . . Now that the election is over, may not all having a common interest reunite in a common effort to save our common country? For my own part, I have striven and shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle in the way. So long as I have been here, I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man´s bosom.
