Establish the abstraction that we should love one another, and bring it into daily practice, and it will root out every evil, either in the individual ; man or in the body-politic. I would rather have every foot of the Territories of the United States, north as well as south, covered with slavery, than to have established the principle that man can holdproperty in man under the provisions of the Constitution of the United States. Abstractions, IVIr. Speaker, are more deadly than cannon balls. T...hey will reach where bomb-shells cannot touch. Give me the abstraction, and you may take the reality. That is the reason the Republican party declares, in substance, that it will not abide by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is the principle, the abstraction, which it wars against — not against the court, nor the case it decided — but it is the principle which is to meas- ure and decide all other cases that we repudiate and condemn. As a lawyer by profession, and liaving had the honor to hold a humble place upon the bench, there is no man who reveres more than I do the judicial character, or who will go further to give all the force it is entitled to to the judicial decision.
