Additional Details

first separate edition of Lincoln's most important campaign speech, delivered at Cooper Union in New York before his nomination. "Wrong as we think slavery is, we can yet afford to let it alone where it is . . . but can we, while our votes will prevent it, allow it to spread into the National Territories, and to overrun us here in these Free States? . . . Let us, to the end, dare to do our duty, as we understand it." Monaghan 50.
