I will not play these silly games with someone attempting that that disingenuous tack.
Quackenbush please refrain from commenting on me or to me until and unless you explain your motivation for the attack on Mercer/DiLorenzo.
Richard I want to make sure that I address exactly what you are asking. Which speech and segment? I am sorry to not do the digging it out myself but I am caught between FR's "new and improved" format and severe time constraints. If you will kindly steer me to exactly what it is you ask I will be glad to answer.
The Speech in question is given the name, "The Dred Scott Speech." Lincoln gave it on June 26th, 1857, at Springfield. In my Edition, by Roy Basler, it shows up starting at pg 352. Around para. 15, Douglas' consistency about court decisions forms the chief point of Lincoln's interest. The Bank comes up on pg. 356.
But the whole speech is worth reading, and is really not long. Links to Lincoln's works have been posted earlier on this thread, and any sensible google search will turn them up, but if you need a link, I'll be gald to be of service.
Happy Easter, and happy reading!
Richard F.
