Jt is to this argument to say tina. Slavery
is an evil, ard hence should not be tolerated You
must sllow the people to decide for themselves

In the fret place. he Gets out in his speech to say,
quoting from Scripture, thst house divided against

divided INTO equal number Of Free and Save Ststes,
cannot stsrd That they should al be the one, or al
