THE WORLDS MOST NOTABLE
SPEECH.
Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, Nov
10, 1868.

Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, Nov.
10, 1868.
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this CONT
nent new nation, conceived in liberty
and dedicated to the proposition that
all men are equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil
any nation so conceived and so ded-
Gated, can long endure. We are met
on great battle-ground of that war.
We have come here to dedicate a por-
ton Of that field as a final resting
place for those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. II is
altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this.
But, in larger sense, we cannot
dedicate-we cannot conservative
cannot hallow-this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled
here, have consecrated it far above our
poor power to add or detract. The
world will little note nor long remem-
Der what we say here, but il can never
forget what they did here. II is for US,
the living, rather, to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before US
that from these honored dead we
take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full
measure Of devotion; that we here
mighty resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; THAT THIS MA,
TON, UNDER GOD, SHALL HAVE
A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM; AND
THAT GOVERNMENT OF THE
PEOPLE. BY THE PEOPLE, FOR
THE PEOPLE, SHALL NOT PERISH
FROM THE EARTH.

sued This was the culminat-
ing act OF Abraham l.incoln's life. the
one tor which he will be longest re-
membered. There is abundant evil
dence To show that he contemplated
the step long before it was taken.
After his careful manner. he reasoned
the question ont from every possible
standpoint weighing the effects of his
action
The pr,crNScs OF the great enamel
pator's mind were revealed TO his
friend Leonard SWEET. whom he sent
for to call at the White House. There
Mr. Lincoln read to him several letters
concerning emancipation. then argued
ont the whole question in the presence

thereafter. on July 22. he called to-

ject. TO Frank r. Carpenter. the art

the Emancipation Proclamation" Mr..
Lincoln remarked:
Il said TO the cabinet that had re-
solved upon this step ana had not
called them together to ask their adj
vice, but TO lay the subject matter Of
a proclamation before them-sugges-
tions as to which would be in order
after they had heard II read"
IL was two months to a day. how.
ever. before this preliminary draft was
given to the public. Secretary Seward
urged that 1t should not be given out
until there was Union victory. This
appealed TO the president as good tao
tics, so 1t was withheld till after the
battle Of Antietam and was published
on Sept. 30. In effect Il proposed that
after 100 days the slaves of all those
remaining in rebellion should be freed
as war measure. The hundred day
period expired on Jan. /. and the final
emancipation proclamation was issued
on that day.
For this step Mr. Lincoln took the
sole initiative and the undivided re-
sponsiblity. Freeing the slaves as n
war measure was Il strategic move.
Merely as president OF the United
States Mr. Lincoln had no power to
emancipate the slave. But rs COM
