ONE OF ABE LINCOLN'S GREAT
SPEECHES. a
Awful Tines i'm Springfield, Ill!

Abraham Lincoln made speech in Illinois d
short time ago, which not only excels all ante
cedent oratory, but from the enthusiasm which
it engendered, begot the widest and most ter
rife applause that ever greeted speaker. We
give this important speech verbatim and at
length:
"This assembly having been drawn (applause,
together at the place of my residence Cloud ap-
plause) it appeared to be the wish of those who
constitute this vast assembly to see me. Ger.
rife applause.) And it is certain that wish tc
see you (Here the suckers tore their shirts,
appear on the ground here at this time only
for the purpose of offering myself the best op
portunity Of Seeing you, and you to see me !! y
At the conclusion OF this elegantly wrought
sentence, Mr.. Lincoln retired-half of his audi
ence being in fits, and the remainder standing
on their heads, not knowing which end wa
up.
