The world seems to be coming to the conclusion that Abraham Lincoln was not only one of its wisest men, but that This was hardly thought of in his life- time. 'Men felt his power when he spoke to them without thinking. how that power was exercised. His direct- ness and simplicity were like those of guest orators among the Greeks, but it was foreign to the traditions of a. race which had its Burke on one side of the Atlantic and its Everett on the other. The flowers of rhetoric are as. conspicu- us by their absence from the speeches ,.- Lincoln as from those (of Demos- thenes. .If he "allowed .himself some— :imes a grotesque expression which would havecshocked ;Greek- notions ' of propriety, he only displayed 'in-that Sway the homely genius .ofva race which leng ago , violated» critical sensibilities with Lthemingled‘ tragedyand comedy 'of 3 Shakespeare.- The particular instance ,of- this tendencyin him which is often-‘ est mentioned ocuurred in‘ his address to the Indiana Legislature, when he was on his way-to Washington to take his place as President. “In their view,” he said, referring tofthe advocates of .secession, “the Union, as a. family .r'e-f la‘tion, would seem to be no regular marriage, . but a sort of free-love ar- rangement, to be maintained only on passional attraction.” Demosthenes would hardly have used such a compar- ison, but, on the other hand, neither he nor any other could‘ have found words to express the broad political philoso- phy and the‘ tender pathos of the Get— ‘ iysburg speech. Far back in 1837, in an address to a group of young men in Springfield, 111.. he expressed the conviction - that the nation could only be endangered from within. “All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined.” be ex- claimed, with a touch of that grotesque exaggeration characteristic of the whole race to which he belonged, as well as of himself, “with all the treas- ure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest, with a Bonaparte or a commander, could not, by force, ake a drink from the Ohio, or make a. rack on the Blue Ridge, in a. trial of a. housand' years.” The great danger within, as he then saw it, was the dis- 'egard for law, “the growing disposi- .ion to substitute wild and furious pas- iions in lieu of the sober judgment of courts; andthe worse than savage mobs for the executive ministers of justice.” . I‘his disposition has not been eradicated 1 to this day. . E Lincoln never swerved afterward l from his primary principle. , When the Dred Scott decision stirred his deepest resentment, he disproved the charges of; his political adversaries by insisting " ...that.~.it-must be obeyed, batmthat‘publio? Supreme Court of the United States would be forced to undo! its own in- iquity. , Laws must be obeyed, but if laws were unchangeable, then the coun- try ceased to be free. In spite of every efi‘ort to misrepresent Lincoln’s attitude. he made it plain that he was no revo- lutionist, even from the point of view of the Northern advocates of slavery, andyet he made it equally clear that his determination to labor against the monstrous injustice expressed in Dred Scott decisions and Fugitive Slave laws. But even after the immortal speech in which he declared that the Union could not exist half slave and half free, he would still have been guilty of no in- consistency if the slave power had been victorious and he had obeyed its laws. The minute tactical skill which he had displayed in his controversy with Judge Douglas, while it left the latter positively in the attitude of one who would in certain contingencies break the very laws and decisions which he proclaimed, made no change in Lin- coln’s own relation to the .law. He wouldn’t violate any law, not eventhe Dred Scott decision; but he would strive to reverse it, and to reverse it peace ably. The ablest exponent of the new "theory that this was a white man’s gov- ernment—4a theory which Lincoln de- clared had only been in existence about five years at the time of the great de- bate in Illinois—was impaled on the. horns of a dilemma. which he had him- self created. It required only Lin- coln’s sagacity to discover it, and his acuteness to state it. In all the annals of oratory there is nowhere a. more complete logical defeat than that suf- fered by Douglas when he seemed all but victorious in National as well as State politics.——New York Tribune.
