It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights would be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all 15 should have an equal chance. This is the senti- ment embodied in the Declaration of Indepen- dence. Now, my friends, can this country be saved on that basis ? If it can I will consider myself one of the happiest men in the world if 1 20 can help to save it. If it cannot be saved upon that principle, it will be truly awful. But if this country cannot be saved without giving ...up that principle, I was about to say I would rather be 128 ABRAHAM LINCOLN assassinated on this spot than surrender it. Now, in my view of the present aspect of affairs, there is no need of bloodshed and war. There is no necessity for it. I am not in favor of such a course; and I 5 may say in advance that there will be no bloodshed unless it is forced upon the government. The govern- ment will not use force, unless force is used against it. My friends, this is wholly an Unprepared speech. I did not expect to be called on to say a word when 10 I came here.
