That is the true system." At New Haven he made his hearers think of slavery as a serpent. He said : " If I saw a venomous snake crawling in the road, any man would say I might seize the nearest stick and kill it ; but if I found that snake in bed with my children, that would be another ques- tion. I might hurt the children more than the snake, and it might bite them. Much more, if I found it in \)ed with my neighbor's children, and I had bound 72 ABRAHAM LINCOLN myself by a solemn compact not t...o meddle with his children under any circumstances, it woidd become me to let that particular mode of getting rid of the gen- tleman alone. But if there was a bed newly made up, to which the children were to be taken, and it was pro- posed to take a batch of young snakes and put them there with them, I take it no man would say there was any question how I ought to decide.
