ry, and said that the division mustcea
or the house could not stand TO leave
no doubt as to the real sense and spirit
of this language, which has been so
much commented on, we extract from
o subsequent speech Of Mr.. LincolnsI
the following further exposition of the
subject made in reply to an attack from
Judge Douglas:
Gas 1 have not used up so much of
my time as I had supposed, I will dwell
q little longer upon one or two of these
minor topics upon which the Judge has
spoken. lie has read from my speech
in Springfield, in which I say that ga
house divided against itself cannot
stand" Does the Judge say it can
stand2 I don't know whether he does
or not. The Judge does not seem to
be attending to me Just now, but
would like to know if tits his opinion
that o house divided against itself can
stand. If he does, then there is ques-
ton Of yoracity not between him and
me, but between the Judge and an au-
thority Of somewhat higher character.
"Now, my friends, L ask your atten-
ton to this matter for the purpose Of
saying something seriously. I know
that the Judge may readily enough
agree with me that the maxim which
was put forth by the Savior is true,
but he may allego that I misarply it;
and the Judge has a right to urge that,
in my application, 1 do misapply it,
and then l have a right to show that
l do not misapply it, When he un-
dertakes to say that because l think
this nation, SO far as the question Of
Slavery is concerned, will all become
one thing or all the other, I am in fa-
vor of bringing about a dead uniform
! ity in the various States, in all their
institutions, he argues orronoously.-
The great variety Of the local institu.
tions in the States, springing from DIFF.
ferencos in the soil, differences in the
face Of the country, and in the climate
are bonds of Union. They do not make
ga house divided against ITSELF" but
they make a house united. IF they pro.
