I do not expect the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I do expect that it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further. spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it for- ward till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new. North as well as South.'" * *... In this speech to the Republican State Convention at Springfield, 111., 284 REMINISCENCES OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN VI.
A few days after the interview with the Progres- sive Friends, what the world calls a " Quaker Preacher " was presented to the President, and after some little general conversation, begged permission to detain him while she bore a brief testimony in behalf of the slave, to which, with an air of ill-sub- dued impatience, he replied, " I will hear the Friend." The testimony was ostensibly a plea in behalf of the slave, but it was evidently intended as an indi- rect appeal for the fuller recognition of woman in governmental matters ; for the speaker reminded the President that, after the children of Israel had been terribly wronged and oppressed for twenty years, and had cried out unto the Lord for deliver- ance, He had appointed Deborah, who was a proph- etess, and judged Israel at that time, to overthrow their oppressors and emancipate them, and that Deborah had gone up against Sisera, whom the Lord discomfited, with all his troops and all his hosts, so that Sisera leaped down off his chariot and fled away on his feet.
