We insist on the policy that shall restrict it to its present limits. We don't sup- pose that in doing this we violate anything due to the actual presence of the institution, or anything due to the constitutional guaranties thrown around it. We oppose the Dred Scott decision in a certain way, upon which I ought perhaps to address you a few SPEECHES OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 137 words. We do not propose that when Dred Scott has been decided to be a slave by the court, we, as a mob, will decide him to ...be free. We do not propose that, when any other one, or one thousand, shall be decided by that court to be slaves, we will in any violent way disturb the rights of property thus settled; but we nevertheless do oppose that decision as a political rule, which shall be binding on the voter to vote for nobody who thinks it wrong, which shall be binding on the members of Congress or the President to favor no meas- ure that does not actually concur with the principles of that decision. We do not propose to be bound by it as a political rule in that way, because we think it lays the foundation not merely of enlarging and spreading out what we consider an evil, but it lays the foundation for spreading that evil into the States themselves.
