I Am Not Liked As A President By The Politicians In Office, In The Press, Or In Congress. But I Am Content To Abide The Judgment - The Sober Second Thought - Of The People.

Disunion And Civil War Are At Hand; And Yet I Fear Disunion And War Less Than Compromise. We Can Recover From Them. The Free States Alone, If We Must Go On Alone, Will Make A Glorious Nation. Twenty Millions In The Temperate Zone, Stretching From The Atlantic To The Pacific, Full Of Vigor, Industry, Inventive Genius, Educated, And Moral; Increasing By Immigration Rapidly, And, Above All, Free--all Free--will Form A Confederacy Of Twenty States Scarcely Inferior In Real Power To The Unfortunate Union Of Thirty-three States Which We Had On The First Of November.

Let Me Assure My Countrymen Of The Southern States That It Is My Earnest Desire To Regard And Promote Their Truest Interest - The Interests Of The White And Of The Colored People Both And Equally And To Put Forth My Best Efforts In Behalf Of A Civil Policy Which Will Forever Wipe Out In Our Political Affairs The Color Line And The Distinction Between North And South, To The End That We May Have Not Merely A United North Or A United South, But A United Country.
