other.
''The result is not doubtful. We shall
not fail-lf we stand firm, we shall not
fail. Wise councils may accelerate, or
mistakes delay it, but sooner or later,

WOULD LEAVE 1T TO THE WORLD
UNERASED.
When DR.. Long said to his friend,
"well, Lincoln, that foolish speech Will
kill you-will defeat you for all offices
for all time to come" referring to the
House Divided speech, Mr.. Lincoln
replied: ''If had to draw pen across
and erase my whole life from existence,
and / had one poor gift of choice left, as
to what l should save from the wreck, l
should choose that speech, and leave it
to the world INCREASED"
VIEWS REGARDING A PROTEC-
TIVE TARIFF.
Il believe if we could have moderate
carefully adjusted protective tariff, so
far acquiesced in as not to be aperpetual
subject of political strife, squabbles
changes and uncertainties, it would be
better for u.s."
Il know there is God, and he hates
injustice and slavery. 1 see the storm
coming, and know that his hand is in
it. If he has place and work for me
and / think he has,-I believe | am

FAREWELL ADDRESS
Farewell address to his neighbors,
1851. when leaving Springfield for
Washington.) "My friends, no one not
in my position can appreciate the sadness
l feel at this parting. To this people
owe all that am. Here l have lived
more than quarter of a century. Here
my children were born, and here one of
them lies buried.
81 know not how soon shall see you
again. A duty devolves upon me which
is greater, perhaps. than that which has
developed upon any other man since the
days of Washington. He never would
have succeeded except for the aid Of
divine providence, upon which he at al
times relied.
Il feel that cannot succeed without
the same divine aid which sustained
him; and on the same Almighty Being
place my reliance for support, and
hope you, my friends, will pray that
may receive the divine assistance, with
out which / cannot succeed, but with
which success is certain. Again, bid
you all an affectionate farewell"
NO SUNDAY LABOR
"The Importance for man and beast
of the prescribed weekly rest, the sacred
rights of Christian soldiers and sailors, a
becoming Difference to the best senti-
ments of Christian people, and due
regard for the divine will, demand that
Sunday labor in the Army and Navy be
reduced to the measure of strict neces
sity.'
