For directness of vision, for scope of argument, for breadth of sympathy the speech is unrivalled by anything in the previ- ous literature of the slavery controversy. Unlike the Abolitionists he admitted no ab- stractions, into. his thought on this subject and no vindigjiveness; he was wholly the democrat and the humanitarian; he wanted to check the extension of slavery because he thought 1t inhuman but even more because, as he put it, “new free states are places for poor people to go to and better their condi- tion.” This was the keynote of his thought ever after, both in regard to the territories and in regard to the preservation of the Union. He admitted frankly that his over- mastering concern was the welfare of the free poor people of the white races.
