I normally don't quote my sources, but to help you through this one, Dearie, I will give you a hint. Do your search using the term 1847, and be a sweetie and just read it for what it is.

Quite understandable, considering how badly you tend to butcher the quotes. But surely you can make an exception in this case? Searching on the quote returns nothing. Searching on '1847' returns a large number of documents. Now either you can source the quote or you can't. I hope you can, because I'm looking forward to seeing how much embellishment there is in your post.

Thank you so much for posting all three of Mr. Lincoln's paragraphs, although it does seem that you use "taking it in context" to mean that you think that posting more of his words changes the intent of his quote, which is WHAT NOW, ALL...........YES, a NON-SEQUITUR.

And I can see why you didn't post the quote in context, what with the talk about courts and justice and all. Subjects that were an anathema to Jefferson Davis and the southron cause. Hope I didn't cause any unpleasant flashbacks by bringing it up.
