'• UjDon tliis act I invoke the considerate judgment of mankind and the gracious favor of Almighty God, " At Getty sbiu'g the most finished and cultivated orator of the age delivered one of his master pieces. But when that has been forgotten the short speech of Mr. Lin- coln, on that occasion, will be green in the memories of men. Those who look simply at the manner and not at the mat- ter, who lose the man in his clothes, may not regard Mr. Lincoln as a marked speaker.

He seemed almost able to count the votes before the balloting. And the affections \xiih which he inspired political friends made him the leader of his part}^ What other man, with the advantages all against him, could have contended so evenly with Douglas ?
