I know I am right because I know that liberty is right, for Christ teaches it, and Christ is God.
Page 73 - We are now far into the fifth year since a policy was initiated with the avowed object and confident promise of putting an end to slavery agitation. Under the operation of that policy, that agitation has not only not ceased, but has constantly augmented. In ray opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. " A house divided against itself cannot stand.
