Sorry, but compulsive lying seems now to be your stock in trade, and I avoid it at all costs.
In this particular case, my point remains valid, that Lincoln was generalizing on the specific case of people living in the disputed land between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers.
He questioned if they even wanted to be US citizens, implying that if they did not, then we had no justification for forcing them to.
I've seen nothing to suggest what Lincoln would have said, if someone had asked him directly in 1848 whether this same principle, unalloyed & unmodified, should apply to Southern slaveocrats who didn't like, for examples, the "Tariff of Abominations" or Fugitive Slave Laws' enforcement.
I think young Lincoln in 1848 would end up insisting on the same things he did in early 1861, namely:
That was Jackson talking, not Lincoln.

The recorded words of Lincoln are too clear to admit of any misunderstanding.
Repeating your Pravda truth, i.e. lying, does not chjange your repeated blatant lie into the truth.
Lincoln's speech expressly referred to all or any people. As I quoted Lincoln in the post in your response is a blatant lie:
Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable—a most sacred right—a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and make their own, of so much of their territory as they inhabit.
You must be really desperate to lie that the above statement of Lincoln only referred to the disputed land between the Nueces and Rio Grande rivers. It expressly refers to "any people anywhere," and Lincoln's remarks were universal in application, "to liberate the world." But that is what communists do. It's Pravda truth.
“I’ve seen nothing to suggest what Lincoln would have said, if someone had asked him directly in 1848 whether this same principle, unalloyed & unmodified . . .”; so forth and so on.
I object. On the following grounds:
