char acteristic address:
FELLOW CITIZENS Four score asd
seven years ago, our fathers brought forth
upon this continent . new nation, couoei-
we'd 10 liberty, and dedicated to the prop
osition that al men are created equal.
Now, We are engaged in . great civil vsr,
testing whether that nstion, or any
natioo 90 conceived sod % dediss.
ted, can long endure. We are met on
geDeral battlefield Of that var; We are
me: to dedicate portion Of it, as the 6usl
resting place Of those who here gave their
lives, that that nstiou might live. II is
altogether fitting and proper that 10
should do this. But, iu larger sense,
We can not dedicate, we Gao not oonseerste,
We can not ballow this ground. The brave
meD, living and dead, Who struggled here,
have consscratsd il, far above our poor
power to add or to detraot. The world
will little note, nor long remember, what
We soy here, but it can never forget what
they did here II is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the Snfn-
ished vork that they have thus far 90
nobly carried on. 1t is rather for Us,
here, to be dedicated to the greet task
remaining before us, that from these hon
ored dead We take increased devotion to
that cause for which they here gave the
last full measure of devotion. That ws
here highly resolve that these dead shall
no. have died il vain. That tho nation
shall, under God, have . new birth Of
freedom, and that the Government Of the
people, BY the people and for the people,
shall not perish from the Garth.
This comprehensive address wss tho
frs. to stir the applause Of the masses, sad
the cheers given astestsd how we'll hs he'd
touched their hearts.
