" After a while," said Judge Dickey, " we went upstairs to bed. There were two beds in our room, and I remember that Lincoln sat up in his night shirt on the edge of the bed arguing the point with me. At last, we went to sleep. Early in the morning I woke up and there was Lincoln half sitting up in bed. ' Dickey,' he said, ' I tell you this nation cannot exist half slave and half free. ' Oh, Lincoln,' said I, ' go to sleep.' " As the months went on this idea took deeper root, and in August, 185...5, we find it expressed in a letter to George Robertson of Kentucky: "Our political problem now is, * Can we as a nation continue together permanently — for- ever — half slave and half free? ' The problem is too mighty for me — may God, in his mercy, superintend the solution." Not only was he beginning to see that the Union could not exist " divided against itself," he was beginning to see that in order to fight effectively against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise and the admission of Kansas as a slave State, he mig'ht be obliged to abandon the Whigs, All his life he had been a loyal Henry Clay Whig, ardent in his devotion to the party, sincerely attached to its principles.
