I sup posed that his face was fet against slavery lke Adamant; that he believed in the utmost freedom for the negro, and that by force of arms he was eager to wipe slavery off the map. I think most men believe that, Who have considered our nation’s history at all; and yet the truth is that Lincoln was no abolitionist. He had no fantastic ideas about Regro equality, nor did he ever de tire by force to abolish slavery or thrust republican ideas down the neck of the South “I am not, or ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the political equality of white and black races; I am not, nor never have been, in favor of making vot- ers or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say that, In addition to this, there is & physical difference between the white and black races Which I believe will fotever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equal- ity.” That is from Abraham Lincoin's Address at Charleston, September 14, 1858, on the eve of his election, on the eve of the war. one INCOLN was no wild-eyed reformer; he was not mad with hate against the South; he was a rea- sonable and a just man, 8nd he sought to escape the civil War as honestly and as earnestly, 4nd as unsuccessfully, as Wilson did the world war. Lincoln helped to establish ne- gro colonies in South America and Liberia, by purchase from their Owners to free the slaves, and to assist them in emigrating to coun tries of their own. And had the South not run amuck, probably by this time the sblem would have really led In this country.
