But the issue of the authenticity of your quote has nothing to do with that of Lincoln's quote. Nolu chan's posting gives very solid grounds for doubting the authenticity of your quote. If there are similar grounds for doubting the Lincoln quote, so be it, but the two things have nothing to do with one another. This kind of problem has always cropped up in my exchanges with you. You always are bringing up some totally irrelevent issue.

How so? By identifying Charles Halpine as the editor of the New York Citizen? Absent a copy of the issue of the paper I don't see how you can claim the quote is bogus based on what nolu-chan has provided.
