Political Speeches and Debates

Of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas

In the days of Lincoln there was an attack upon that clause in the Declaration of Independence which declares that "all men are created equal." Now there is an attack upon the clause which declares that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." Then there was rendered a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States which perverted the Constitution in the interests of that attack. Now there is also a decision of the Supreme Court which perverts the Constitution in the interests of this attack.
The careful study of the history-making discussions on the first attack as found in the public speeches of Lincoln and Douglas, will prepare the people successfully and in the right way, to meet this latter attack as well as all others upon the immortal Declaration, and to correct any and all perversions of the Constitution.
This volume contains the public speeches of both men from 1854 to 1861, which besides being intensely interesting clearly define the principles being violated to-day. The book is carefully indexed, and the system of running titles makes it particularly valuable as a reference volume. Bound in cloth. Price $1.75 post-paid.
