Now, my friends look at the case. have
told you that Lincoln had not received one sin-
gle vote from the slave Siaies, fifteen in mum
Dor. His Chicago platform had frightened the
people OF the South, and made them seek 10 do.

dressing iaelf 10 the fanaticism of the country,
would band the whole North against the whole

the entire government OF the couutry into her
own hapds; make any laws that she wished,
without any regard to the people occupying
these fifteen Ststes. All this Wss treated as
mere humbug, mere electioneering slang at ihe
