14274	but,"Can we all do better?"
14274	think you these places would satisfy an Alexander, a Caesar, or a Napoleon?

2653	But,says one,"what good can I do by signing the pledge?
2653	But,you will say,"do not your causes apply to every one engaged in a like undertaking?"

2653	Tyler appointed him?
2653	What about?
2653	What do you want, Peggy?

2653	Will the greedy gullet of the penitentiary be satisfied with swallowing him instead of all of them, if they should venture to obey him? 2653 And after they have found the bank to be unconstitutional, and decided it so, how are they to enforce their decision? 2653 And for what? 2653 And was the sacred name of Democracy ever before made to indorse such an enormity against the rights of the people? 2653 And who that thinks with me will not fearlessly adopt the oath that I take? 2653 And why may we not for fifty times as long? 2653 And why not? 2653 And why shall the Whigs not all rally again? 2653 And would he not discover some''danger of loss,''and be off about the time it came to taking their places? 2653 Are their principles less dear now than in 1840? 2653 Are they to be clothed with power to send for persons and papers, for this object? 2653 At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? 2653 At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? 2653 Bowling Greene, Bennette Abe? 2653 But I want to ask a close question,Are you now in feeling as well as judgment glad that you are married as you are?"

2653	But you are perhaps ready to ask,"What has this to do with the perpetuation of our political institutions?"
2653	But, had the old- school champions themselves been of the most wise selecting, was their system of tactics the most judicious?
2653	By what means shall we fortify against it?

2653	Can we declare the Bank unconstitutional, and compel it to desist from the abuses of its power, provided we find such abuses to exist?

2653	How then could Talbott open the deed and point out the error?
2653	How then shall we perform it?

2653	If it was true, why was it not writ till five days after the proclamation?
2653	If the Bank be inflicting injury upon the people, why is it that not a single petition is presented to this body on the subject?

2653	The grand inquiry now is, Shall we make our own comforts, or go without them at the will of a foreign nation?
2653	The question recurs, How shall we fortify against it?
2653	The question then is, Can that gratification be found in supporting and in maintaining an edifice that has been erected by others?
2653	There would be nothing irreligious in it, nothing immoral, nothing uncomfortable-- then why not?
2653	This wish was gratified; but how?

2653	What earthly consideration would you take to find her scouting and despising you, and giving herself up to another?
2653	What good, then, can their labors result in?
2653	What had reason to do with it at that early stage?
2653	What interest, let me ask, have the people in the settlement of this question?
2653	What one of us but can call to mind some relative, more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity?
2653	What reason, then, is there to believe they will hereafter do better?
2653	What then becomes of all their sophistry about Adams not being fool enough to forge an assignment that would not cover the case?
2653	What will their decision amount to?
2653	What, then, if the Bank has chosen to exercise this right?
2653	When did the Whigs ever fail if they were fully aroused and united?
2653	Where has the American farmer a market for his surplus produce?
2653	Where, now, is that mighty host?
2653	Who and what are they?
2653	Who of the five appointed is to write the district address?
2653	Whom can it injure?
2653	Whom does he consider disinterested?
2653	Why did n''t Carlin and Carpenter sign it as well as Shields?
2653	Why then shall we spend the public money in such employment?
2653	Why, then, is it, when neither law nor justice forbids it, that we are asked to spend our time and money in inquiring into its truth?
2653	Why, then, shall we suffer a severe difficulty, even though it be but temporary, unless we receive some equivalent for it?
2653	Will the collectors, that have taken their oaths to make the collection, dare to end it?
2653	and is it just to assail, condemn, or despise them for doing so?
2653	and who is ever silly enough to complain of it?
2653	says I;"ai n''t its hair the right color?
2653	says Jeff;"and whose egg is it, pray?"
2653	says he;"but how will we find out?"
2653	says he;"what the mischief are you about?"
2653	think you these places would satisfy an Alexander, a Caesar, or a Napoleon?
2656	After all, the question still recurs upon us, How did that fraud originally get into the State Register?
2656	Ai n''t the Judge playing the cuttle- fish?
2656	And how is it he tells us they can exclude it?
2656	And, more especially, can he pass unfriendly legislation to violate his oath?
2656	But does not this question make a disturbance outside of political circles?
2656	But has it proved so?
2656	But here they are, and the question is, How can they be best dealt with?
2656	But here they are, and the question is, How can they be best dealt with?
2656	But let me ask Judge Douglas how he is going to get the people to do that?
2656	But was it not understood or intimated with the"confident promise"of putting an end to the slavery agitation?
2656	But when I have admitted all this, I ask if there is any parallel between these things and this institution of slavery?
2656	Can he be induced to tell, or, if he has told, can Judge Douglas be induced to tell how it originally was concocted?
2656	Can he withhold it without violating his oath?
2656	Did any one of the thirteen colonies entertain such a design or expectation?
2656	Did he not appeal to the"MOBS,"as he calls them?
2656	Did he not do right, when he had the fit opportunity of meeting Judge Douglas here, to tell him he was ready for the responsibility?
2656	Did he not make speeches in the lobby to show how villainous that decision was, and how it ought to be overthrown?
2656	Did he not succeed, too, in getting an act passed by the Legislature to have it overthrown?
2656	Did not he and his political friends find a way to reverse the decision of that same court in favor of the constitutionality of the National Bank?
2656	Do n''t you remember how two years ago the opponents of the Democratic party were divided between Fremont and Fillmore?
2656	Do the resolutions touch me at all?
2656	Do we not feel an interest in getting to that outlet with such institutions as we would like to have prevail there?
2656	Do we not wish for an outlet for our surplus population, if I may so express myself?
2656	Do you not constantly argue that this is not the right place to oppose it?
2656	Does Douglas say that is a forgery?
2656	Does Judge Douglas deny that fact?
2656	Does Judge Douglas say it is a forgery, and was not true?
2656	Does Judge Douglas say that is a forgery?
2656	Does Judge Douglas say this is a forgery?
2656	Does he dare to deny that?
2656	Does he deny that the provision which Trumbull reads was put in that bill?
2656	Does he mean that?
2656	Does he mean to ignore the proposition so long and well established in law, that what you can not do directly, you can not do indirectly?
2656	Does he mean to say that?
2656	Does he now say that he did not make that promise?
2656	Does he say it in his general sweeping charge?
2656	Does he say so now?
2656	Does he say that what I present here as a copy of the original Toombs bill is a forgery?
2656	Does he say the quotations from his own speech are forgeries?
2656	Does he say there is no such thing in the Congressional Globe?
2656	Does he say this transcript from Trumbull''s speech is a forgery?
2656	Does it not enter into the churches and rend them asunder?
2656	Has Douglas the exclusive right, in this country, of being on all sides of all questions?
2656	Has anything ever threatened the existence of this Union save and except this very institution of slavery?
2656	Has it not got down as thin as the homeopathic soup that was made by boiling the shadow of a pigeon that had starved to death?
2656	Has she formed a constitution that she is likely to come in under?
2656	Has the voting down of that constitution put an end to all the trouble?
2656	Have we ever had any peace on this slavery question?
2656	Have we had any peace upon this matter springing from any other basis?
2656	He also asks the question: Why did n''t Trumbull propose to amend the bill, if he thought it needed any amendment?
2656	He asks, if Trumbull thought so then, what ground is there for anybody thinking otherwise now?
2656	He does not, and I have the right to repeat the question,--Why Judge Douglas took it out?
2656	He took it out, and although he took out the other provision preventing a submission to a vote of the people, I ask, Why did you first put it in?
2656	Hear what Mr. Clay said:"And what is the foundation of this appeal to me in Indiana to liberate the slaves under my care in Kentucky?
2656	How are we ever to have peace upon it?
2656	How can he make out that it is a forgery?
2656	How could he infer that a submission was still implied, after its express provision had been stricken from the bill?
2656	How do you make this forgery when every piece of the evidence is genuine?
2656	How does it do so?
2656	How is it over?
2656	How many times have we had danger from this question?
2656	I am not discussing the question whether it is right or wrong; but how are the New Mexican and Utah laws patterns for the Nebraska Bill?
2656	I ask a candid audience whether in doing thus Judge Douglas was not the assailant rather than I?
2656	I ask again, is that the way to test the soundness of a doctrine?
2656	I ask every sensible man if that is not so?
2656	I call upon him to tell here to- day why he did not keep that promise?
2656	I want to know if Buchanan has not as much right to be inconsistent as Douglas has?
2656	If this is true, how do you propose to improve the condition of things by enlarging slavery, by spreading it out and making it bigger?
2656	If we had no war out of it when thus placed, wherein is the ground of belief that we shall have war out of it if we return to that policy?
2656	If you withhold that necessary legislation for the support of the Constitution and constitutional rights, do you not commit perjury?
2656	In what way has it a tendency to prove that?
2656	Is Kansas in the Union?
2656	Is he to have an entire monopoly on that subject?
2656	Is it a forgery?
2656	Is it not so?
2656	Is it the true test of the soundness of a doctrine that in some places people wo n''t let you proclaim it?
2656	Is it there or not?
2656	Is nobody allowed that high privilege but himself?
2656	Is not that running his Popular Sovereignty down awfully?
2656	Is not the slavery agitation still an open question in that Territory?
2656	Is that more likely to settle it than every one of these previous attempts to settle the slavery agitation?
2656	Is that the truth?
2656	Is that the way to test the truth of any doctrine?
2656	Is that true?
2656	Is this the work of politicians?
2656	Let me ask why they made provision that the source of slavery-- the African slave- trade-- should be cut off at the end of twenty years?
2656	More than this, is it true that what Trumbull did can have any effect on what Douglas did?
2656	Now, I ask, what is the reason Judge Douglas is so chary about coming to the exact question?
2656	Now, does Judge Douglas say that is a forgery?
2656	Now, if you undertake to disprove that proposition, and to show that it is erroneous, would you prove it to be false by calling Euclid a liar?
2656	Now, my friends, are any of you obtuse enough to swallow that?
2656	Suppose Trumbull had been in the plot with these other men, would that let Douglas out of it?
2656	Suppose that were the case, does it answer Trumbull?
2656	That there have been bills which never had the provision in, I do not question; but when was that provision taken out of one that it was in?
2656	The question is, what did he put it in for?
2656	Then I ask the original question, if each of the pieces of testimony is true, how is it possible that the whole is a falsehood?
2656	Then the question is, How can Douglas call that a forgery?
2656	Then what becomes of all his eloquence in behalf of the rights of States, which are assailed by no living man?
2656	Then where is the place to oppose it?
2656	We have sometimes had peace, but when was it?
2656	What did he take that out for; and, having taken it out, what did he put this in for?
2656	What disturbed the Unitarian Church in this very city two years ago?
2656	What divided the great Methodist Church into two parts, North and South?
2656	What does he mean when he says Judge Trumbull forges his evidence from beginning to end?
2656	What has always been the evidence brought forward to prove that the Republican party is a sectional party?
2656	What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity, save and except this institution of slavery?
2656	What has jarred and shaken the great American Tract Society recently, not yet splitting it, but sure to divide it in the end?
2656	What has raised this constant disturbance in every Presbyterian General Assembly that meets?
2656	What have I done that I have not the license of Henry Clay''s illustrious example here in doing?
2656	What is a forgery?
2656	What is a forgery?
2656	What is it that we hold most dear amongst us?
2656	What is it to be"affirmed"in the Constitution?
2656	What is the evidence he produces?
2656	What is the language in regard to the prohibition of the African slave- trade?
2656	What is the reason he will not tell you anything about How it was made, BY WHOM it was made, or that he remembers it being made at all?
2656	What other thing that you consider as a wrong do you deal with as you deal with that?
2656	What was Lincoln to do?
2656	When are we to have peace upon it, if it is kept in the position it now occupies?
2656	When have we had any quarrels over these things?
2656	When have we had perfect peace in regard to this thing which I say is an element of discord in this Union?
2656	When is it likely to come to an end?
2656	When that Nebraska Bill was brought forward four years ago last January, was it not for the"avowed object"of putting an end to the slavery agitation?
2656	When was it as great in the country as to- day?
2656	When was there ever a greater agitation in Congress than last winter?
2656	Where can you find the principle of the Nebraska Bill in that Compromise?
2656	Where would you have found your free State or Territory to go to?
2656	Why did they make provision that in all the new territory we owned at that time slavery should be forever inhibited?
2656	Why does he stand playing upon the meaning of words and quibbling around the edges of the evidence?
2656	Why then do I yield support to a Fugitive Slave law?
2656	Would Virginia and other Southern States have ever united in a declaration which was to be interpreted into an abolition of slavery among them?
2656	Would he not at once have freed them?
2656	Would it exonerate Douglas that Trumbull did n''t then perceive he was in the plot?
2656	You say it is wrong; but do n''t you constantly object to anybody else saying so?
2656	[ Mr. JAMES BROWN( Douglas postmaster):"What does Ford''s History say about him?"]
2656	what think you of this?
2655	4.--"I want to know whether he stands to- day pledged to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia?"
2655	5.--"I desire him to answer whether he stands pledged to the prohibition of the slave- trade between the different States?"
2655	7.--"I desire him to answer whether he is opposed to the acquisition of any new territory unless slavery is first prohibited therein?"
2655	Advocated by whom?
2655	Am I not making the same charge myself?
2655	And now I ask why he could not have let that Compromise alone?
2655	And when will we cease to have quarrels over it?
2655	And why the hasty after- indorsement of the decision by the President and others?
2655	Another form of his question is,"Why ca n''t we let it stand as our fathers placed it?"
2655	Are you in favor of acquiring additional territory, in disregard of how such acquisition may affect the nation on the slavery question?
2655	But can this question of slavery be considered as among these varieties in the institutions of the country?
2655	But can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he himself has given no intimation?
2655	But does Judge Douglas''s reply amount to a satisfactory answer?
2655	But has it been so with this element of slavery?
2655	But if it is, how can he resist it?
2655	But, Judge Douglas, why did n''t you tell the truth?
2655	By whose authority, Judge Douglas?
2655	By whose authority,--who do you mean to say authorized the publication of these articles?
2655	By whose authority?
2655	Can Judge Douglas find anybody on earth that said that anybody else should form a constitution for a people?
2655	Can he possibly show that it is less a sacred right to buy them where they can be bought cheapest?
2655	Can not the Judge be satisfied?
2655	Can not the Judge perceive a distinction between a purpose and an expectation?
2655	Can we safely base our action upon any such vague inference?
2655	Can you, if you swear to support the Constitution, and believe that the Constitution establishes a right, clear your oath, without giving it support?
2655	Could he have done it without them?
2655	Did the Judge talk of trotting me down to Egypt to scare me to death?
2655	Did we brave all then to falter now,--now, when that same enemy is wavering, dissevered, and belligerent?
2655	Do you not violate and disregard your oath?
2655	Do you think differently, Judge?
2655	Does Douglas believe an effort to revive that trade is approaching?
2655	Does he make it against that newspaper editor merely?
2655	Does he not virtually shift his ground and say that it is not a question for the Court, but for the people?
2655	Does he place his superior claim to credit on the ground that he performed a good act which was never expected of him?
2655	Does he really think so?
2655	Does the Judge claim that he is working on the plan of the founders of government?
2655	Does the Judge regard that rule as a good one?
2655	Free them all and keep them among us as underlings?
2655	Free them, and make them politically and socially our equals?
2655	Has not the Supreme Court decided that question?
2655	Has there ever been a time when anybody said that any other than the people of a Territory itself should form a constitution?
2655	Have these very matters ever produced any difficulty amongst us?
2655	Have they produced any differences?
2655	Have we no tendency to the latter condition?
2655	Have we not always had quarrels and difficulties over it?
2655	He does not use the word"conspiring,"but what other construction can you put upon it?
2655	He has read from my speech in Springfield, in which I say that"a house divided against itself can not stand"Does the Judge say it can stand?
2655	He says,"Why ca n''t this Union endure permanently half slave and half free?"
2655	He says,"Why ca n''t you come out and make an open avowal of principles in all places alike?"
2655	He smiles now, and says,"Did n''t they carry you off?"
2655	How can he oppose the advances of slavery?
2655	How can we best do it?
2655	How has the planting of slavery in new countries always been effected?
2655	How will he prove that we have ever occupied a different position in regard to the Lecompton Constitution or any principle in it?
2655	How, I ask, do his friends speak out their own sentiments?
2655	I appeal to you whether he did not say it was a question for the Supreme Court?
2655	I ask by whose authority?
2655	I ask you if you know any other living man who would make such a statement?
2655	I ask, if somebody does not remember that a National Bank was declared to be constitutional?
2655	I ask, is it not as good a rule for him as it is for me?
2655	I repeat the question: Is not Congress itself bound to give legislative support to any right that is established in the United States Constitution?
2655	I will ask my friend Casey, over there, if he would do such a thing?
2655	I would like to know, then, if they wanted Chase''s amendment fixed over, why somebody else could not have offered to do it?
2655	If one man says it does not mean a negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?
2655	If they wanted it amended, why did they not offer the amendment?
2655	In the first place, what is necessary to make the institution national?
2655	In what do our new Territories now differ in this respect from the old Colonies when slavery was first planted within them?
2655	Is he going to spend his life in maintaining a principle that nobody on earth opposes?
2655	Is it not to give such constitutional helps to the rights established by that Constitution as may be practically needed?
2655	Is it quite certain that this betters their condition?
2655	Is it the right of the people to have slavery or not have it, as they see fit, in the Territories?
2655	Is not that so?
2655	Is not that the fact?
2655	Is not that the fact?
2655	Is that what you mean?
2655	Is the Judge really afraid of any such thing?
2655	Is the one right any better than the other?
2655	Is there any man who, while a member of Congress, would give support to the one any more than the other?
2655	Is there any question but he means it was by the authority of the President and his Cabinet,--the Administration?
2655	Is there any sort of question but he means to make that charge?
2655	Let me ask you why many of us who are opposed to slavery upon principle give our acquiescence to a Fugitive Slave law?
2655	Made by whom?
2655	Not only so, but if you were to do so, how long would it take the courts to hold your votes unconstitutional and void?
2655	Not only so, but is there not another fact: how came this Dred Scott decision to be made?
2655	Now he seeks to dodge it, and asks,"Did n''t they carry you off?"
2655	Now, I wish you to mark: What has become of that squatter sovereignty?
2655	Now, how little do I look like being carried away trembling?
2655	Now, on what ground would a member of Congress, who is opposed to slavery in the abstract, vote for a Fugitive law, as I would deem it my duty to do?
2655	Now, who was it that did the work?
2655	Now, whom does he make that charge against?
2655	Or because we have a different class relative to the production of flour in this State?
2655	The question was, Was it a fair emanation of the people?
2655	Then what is necessary for the nationalization of slavery?
2655	This being so, what is Judge Douglas going to spend his life for?
2655	Was it necessary to the organization of a Territory?
2655	Well, Judge, will you please tell me what you did about the bank decision?
2655	Well, now, gentlemen, is not that very alarming?
2655	Well, on Saturday he did make his answer; and what do you think it was?
2655	Well, so much being disposed of, what is left?
2655	What are the uses of decisions of courts?
2655	What are your sentiments?
2655	What can authorize him to draw any such inference?
2655	What do those terms mean when used now?
2655	What do those terms mean?
2655	What do you understand by supporting the Constitution of a State, or of the United States?
2655	What has now become of all his tirade about"resistance of the Supreme Court"?
2655	What is fairly implied by the term Judge Douglas has used,"resistance to the decision"?
2655	What is it?
2655	What is it?
2655	What is it?
2655	What is popular sovereignty?
2655	What is that opinion?
2655	What is the matter of popular sovereignty?
2655	What is the paragraph?
2655	What is the reason that Judge Douglas is not willing I should stand upon that platform?
2655	What is there in the language of that speech which expresses such purpose or bears such construction?
2655	What is this charge that the Judge thinks I must have a very corrupt heart to make?
2655	What next?
2655	What reason does he propose?
2655	What then?
2655	What was it placed there for?
2655	What was squatter sovereignty?
2655	What were they but a clear indication that the framers of the Constitution intended and expected the ultimate extinction of that institution?
2655	When that is so, how much is left of this vast matter of squatter sovereignty, I should like to know?
2655	Which could have come the nearest to doing it without the other?
2655	Who defeated it?
2655	Who heard of any such thing because of the Ordinance of''87?
2655	Who is so bold as to do it?
2655	Who shall say,"I am the superior, and you are the inferior"?
2655	Who, then, shall come in at this day and claim that he invented it?
2655	Why declare that within twenty years the African slave trade, by which slaves are supplied, might be cut off by Congress?
2655	Why did he oppose it?
2655	Why did they not put it in themselves?
2655	Why do we hold ourselves under obligations to pass such a law, and abide by it when it is passed?
2655	Why even a Senator''s individual opinion withheld, till after the Presidential election?
2655	Why is it that twenty shall be entitled to all the credit of doing that work, and the hundred none of it?
2655	Why mention a State?
2655	Why must he look farther than their platform when he claims himself to stand by his platform?
2655	Why the delay of a reargument?
2655	Why the incoming President''s advance exhortation in favor of the decision?
2655	Why the outgoing President''s felicitation on the indorsement?
2655	Why was the amendment, expressly declaring the right of the people, voted down?
2655	Why was the court decision held up?
2655	Why were all these acts?
2655	Will any friend from Michigan read the article to which I allude?"
2655	Will he dodge it now by alleging that I am trying to defend Mr. Buchanan against the charge?
2655	Will the Judge pretend that Dred Scott was not held there without police regulations?
2655	Will you not graciously allow us to do with the Dred Scott decision precisely as you did with the bank decision?
2655	Will you oppose the admission of any Slave States which may be formed out of Texas or the Territories?
2655	Will you vote for and advocate the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law passed at the recent session of Congress?
2655	Will you vote for and support a bill abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia?
2655	Will you, if elected, vote for and cordially support a bill prohibiting slavery in the Territories of the United States?
2655	Would he send that out and have his men take it as the truth?
2655	Would not this be the impression of every fair- minded man?
2655	[ A voice: Who killed the bill?]
2655	[ A voice: Why do n''t they come out on it?]
2655	[ A voice:"Then do you repudiate popular sovereignty?"]
2655	[ Judge DOUGLAS: Did n''t they carry you off?]
2655	[ Judge DOUGLAS: What is the date of those resolutions?]
2655	[ Judge DOUGLAS: Will you repeat that?
2655	because of the Missouri restriction?
2655	because of the numerous court decisions of that character?
2655	what has become of it?
2655	what is popular sovereignty?
2655	when he now says the people may exclude slavery, does he not make it a question for the people?
2654	How did the boat strike when she went in? 2654 Shall our rivers and harbors be improved?"
2654	What about the tariff?
2654	Again, is not Nebraska, while a Territory, a part of us?
2654	Amend it for what?
2654	And how much do you suppose was really expended for improvements during that four years?
2654	And if so, where shall we set it down, and be free from the difficulty?
2654	And if this fight should begin, is it likely to take a very peaceful, Union- saving turn?
2654	And if we surrender the control of it, do we not surrender the right of self- government?
2654	And is there any doubt that we must all lay aside our prejudices and march, shoulder to shoulder, in the great army of Freedom?
2654	And now why will you ask us to deny the humanity of the slave, and estimate him as only the equal of the hog?
2654	And what of sacrifice would they make?
2654	And what shall we have in lieu of it?
2654	And, really, what is the result of all this?
2654	Are not the tendencies plain?
2654	Are not these newspapers a fair index of the proportion of the votes?
2654	Are we in a healthful political state?
2654	Are you agreed?
2654	Are you possessing houses and lands, and oxen and asses, and men- servants and maid- servants, and begetting sons and daughters?
2654	Aye, how do you know he is?
2654	But can he remember no other military coat- tail under which a certain other party have been sheltering for near a quarter of a century?
2654	But can these men''s testimony be compared with the nice, exact, thorough experiments of our witnesses?
2654	But had it any reference to the carrying of slavery into new countries?
2654	But how are they in the number of their white people?
2654	But how far beyond?
2654	But how if she votes herself a slave State unfairly, that is, by the very means for which you say you would hang men?
2654	But if at these elections their several constituencies shall clearly express their will against Nebraska, will these senators disregard their will?
2654	But if it is a moral and political wrong, as all Christendom considers it to be, how can he answer to God for this attempt to spread and fortify it?
2654	But if the negro is a man, is it not to that extent a total destruction of self- government to say that he too shall not govern himself?
2654	But if you would like to defeat Buchanan and his gang, allow me a word with you: Does any one pretend that Fillmore can carry the vote of this State?
2654	But is there any doubt as to what he will do on the prominent questions if elected?
2654	But is this any more true in Congress than in a State Legislature?
2654	But restore the compromise, and what then?
2654	But what are they to do?
2654	But where have I assailed them?
2654	But who resists it?
2654	By the way, Mr. Speaker, did you know I am a military hero?
2654	By the way, how do"events"of the same sort come on in your family?
2654	Can I send any more?
2654	Can I send speeches that nobody has made?
2654	Can any man doubt that, even in spite of the people''s will, slavery will triumph through violence, unless that will be made manifest and enforced?
2654	Can any one doubt as to the reason of it?
2654	Can not something be done even in Illinois?
2654	Can they tell us General Cass''s opinion on this question?
2654	Can we afford to sin any more deeply against human liberty?
2654	Can we as Christian men, and strong and free ourselves, wield the sledge or hold the iron which is to manacle anew an already oppressed race?
2654	Can we not come together for the future?
2654	Can you believe that these floats go across the currents?
2654	Can you there, any more than here, raise corn and wheat and oats without work?
2654	Clay and Webster were dead before this question arose; by what authority shall our Senator say they would espouse his side of it if alive?
2654	Could it be that the western district of Virginia furnished more business for a judge than the whole State of Illinois?
2654	Could there be a more apt invention to bring about collision and violence on the slavery question than this Nebraska project is?
2654	Did business men commonly go into an expenditure of money which could be of no account to them?
2654	Did men act without motive?
2654	Did they, then-- could they- establish a principle contrary to their own intention?
2654	Did you ever, my friends, seriously reflect upon the speed with which we are tending downwards?
2654	Do not the signs of the times point plainly the way in which we are going?
2654	Do not they know where the shoe pinches?
2654	Do we not own the country?
2654	Do you find it in our platform, our speeches, our conventions, or anywhere?
2654	Do you know who that was?
2654	Do you really believe that such is our aim?
2654	Do you say that such restriction of slavery would be unconstitutional, and that some of the States would not submit to its enforcement?
2654	Does some one persuade you that Mr. Fillmore can carry Illinois?
2654	Does the President, for this reason, propose to abolish the Presidency?
2654	Each party within having numerous and determined backers without, is it not probable that the contest will come to blows and bloodshed?
2654	Fellow- countrymen, Americans, South as well as North, shall we make no effort to arrest this?
2654	Fifty?
2654	First, then: If that country was in need of a territorial organization, could it not have had it as well without as with a repeal?
2654	Five?
2654	For instance, do you suppose that I should ever have got into notice if I had waited to be hunted up and pushed forward by older men?
2654	For what is it that their lifelong enemy shall now make profit by assuming to defend them against me, their lifelong friend?
2654	For what, then, would he have the Constitution amended?
2654	Free them all, and keep them among us as underlings?
2654	Free them, and make them politically and socially our equals?
2654	Had the Vermont election given them any light?
2654	Has he no acquaintance with the ample military coat tail of General Jackson?
2654	Has not Mexico always claimed the contrary?
2654	Have the enemy called in any foreign help?
2654	Have you heard us assert that as our aim?
2654	How are we to effect this?
2654	How came my 47 to yield to Trumbull''s 5?
2654	How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes be in favor of degrading classes of white people?
2654	How comes this vast amount of property to be running about without owners?
2654	How could I be?
2654	How do boats find currents that floats can not discover?
2654	How great a majority, do you think, would have been given had Kansas also been secured for slavery?
2654	How is this?
2654	How make a road, a canal, or clear a greatly obstructed river?
2654	How then are we to make anything out of these lands with this encumbrance on them?
2654	How was it that the Afton with all her power flanked over from the channel to the short pier without moving one foot ahead?
2654	How would you like that?
2654	How, then, can we make much out of this part of the territory?
2654	I go against the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; did they ever go for it?
2654	I repeat, therefore, the question: Is it not plain in what direction we are tending?
2654	If I be right in this, how could we make any entirely new improvement by means of tonnage duties?
2654	If by any means we omit to do this, what follows?
2654	If not, who are the disunionists-- you or we?
2654	If so, where is the propriety of having a Congress?
2654	If that ordinance did not keep it out of Illinois, what was it that made the difference between Illinois and Missouri?
2654	If the fruit of electing Mr. Clay would have been to prevent the extension of slavery, could the act of electing have been evil?
2654	If there be doubt as to which of our divisions will get our candidate, is there no doubt as to which of your candidates will get your party?
2654	If they had no connection, why are they always spoken of in connection?
2654	If they intended to extend it in the event of acquiring additional territory, why did they not say so?
2654	If this had been said among Marion''s men, Southerners though they were, what would have become of the man who said it?
2654	If to- day he should choose to say he thinks it necessary to invade Canada to prevent the British from invading us, how could you stop him?
2654	If you ca n''t now live with the land, how will you then live without it?
2654	If you did not feel that it was wrong, why did you join in providing that men should be hung for it?
2654	If, by any or all these matters, the repeal of the Missouri Compromise was commanded, why was not the command sooner obeyed?
2654	In substance, it is this: The people say to General Taylor,"If you are elected, shall we have a national bank?"
2654	In what?
2654	Is it all union and harmony in your ranks?
2654	Is it because there is a difference in size?
2654	Is it not just to yourself that you should, in a few public speeches, state your reasons, and thus justify yourself?
2654	Is it possible you do n''t understand that yet?
2654	Is it quite certain that this betters their condition?
2654	Is it quite safe to disregard it-- to despise it?
2654	Is it to be decided by a vote of the people or a vote of the Legislature, or, indeed, by a vote of any sort?
2654	Is it to be decided by the first dozen settlers who arrive there, or is it to await the arrival of a hundred?
2654	Is not a certain Martin Van Buren an old horse which your own party have turned out to root?
2654	Is the defence to blame for that?
2654	Is the land richer?
2654	Is there any difficulty in understanding this?
2654	Is there any mistaking it?
2654	Is there anything in the peculiar nature of the country?
2654	Is there no danger to liberty itself in discarding the earliest practice and first precept of our ancient faith?
2654	Is there-- can there be-- any doubt about this thing?
2654	Is this the sacred right of self- government we hear vaunted so much?
2654	It is being executed in the precise way which was intended from the first, else why does no Nebraska man express astonishment or condemnation?
2654	It is excellent so far as it goes; but does it go far enough?
2654	Like the great Juggernaut-- I think that is the name-- the great idol, it crushes everything that comes in its way, and makes a[?]
2654	Mr. Clay was the leading spirit in making the Missouri Compromise; is it very credible that if now alive he would take the lead in the breaking of it?
2654	Must she still be admitted, or the Union dissolved?
2654	My friend from Indiana( C. B. Smith) has aptly asked,"Are you willing to trust the people?"
2654	Now can there be any difficulty in understanding this?
2654	Now, when the restriction is removed, what is to prevent it from going still farther?
2654	Now, why is this?
2654	One hundred?
2654	One year after the adoption of the first State constitution, the whole number of them was-- what do you think?
2654	Our country is prosperous and powerful; but could it have been quite all it has been, and is, and is to be, without Henry Clay?
2654	Pray, will or may not the Know- Nothings, if they should get in power, add the word"Protestant,"making it read"all Protestant white men...?"

2654	Shall we remove it for this reason?
2654	She had a large delegation on that floor; but was she now in favor of granting lands to the new States, as she used to be?
2654	Should we not stand by our neighbors who seek to better their conditions in Kansas and Nebraska?
2654	So far all is easy; but how shall we determine which are the most important?
2654	Some such we certainly have; have you none, gentlemen Democrats?
2654	Ten?
2654	The next thing I will try to prove is that the plaintiff''s(?)
2654	Then I ask, is the precept"Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them"obsolete?
2654	Then is not this test reliable?
2654	Then, on the passage of the bill, the question came upon them, Shall we vote for preamble and bill together, or against both together?
2654	They went for the Compromise of 1850; did I ever go against them?
2654	They were greatly devoted to the Union; to the small measure of my ability was I ever less so?
2654	This general proposition is doubtless correct; but did it apply?
2654	This is but the opinion of a man; but who was that man?
2654	To make sure of our object, shall we locate it nowhere, and have Congress hereafter to hold its sessions, as the loafer lodged,"in spots about"?

2654	Was it not her own fault that she entered wrong, so far wrong that she never got right?
2654	Well, what are they?
2654	What are the facts upon which this bold assertion is based?
2654	What can you do in Missouri better than here?
2654	What day does Butler appoint?
2654	What for?
2654	What good would it do?
2654	What is reasonable skill and care?
2654	What is that something?
2654	What is the amount of the angle?

2654	What mood were the steamboat men in when this bridge was burned?
2654	What motive would tempt any set of men to go into an extensive survey of a railroad which they did not intend to make?
2654	What name can I, in common decency, give to this wicked transaction?
2654	What next?
2654	What of that?
2654	What then?
2654	What use for the General Government, when there is nothing left for it to govern?
2654	What would they who thus reproach us have done?

2654	Which is preferable?

2654	Who is responsible for this?
2654	Who shall improve on what they did?
2654	Who will inform the negro that he is free?
2654	Who will take him before court to test the question of his freedom?
2654	Why ask us to do for nothing what two hundred millions of dollars could not induce you to do?
2654	Why ask us to do what you will not do yourselves?
2654	Why did he not tell us how much was granted?
2654	Why did you do this?
2654	Why does everybody call them a compromise?
2654	Why has he constantly called them a series of measures?
2654	Why has he so spoken of them a thousand times?
2654	Why in the accompanying report was such a repeal characterized as a departure from the course pursued in 1850 and its continued omission recommended?
2654	Why no necessity then for repeal?
2654	Why not apply it, then, upon this question?
2654	Why was California kept out of the Union six or seven months, if it was not because of its connection with the other measures?
2654	Why was it omitted in the original bill of 1854?
2654	Why was the repeal omitted in the Nebraska Bill of 1853?
2654	Why, as to improvements, magnify the evil, and stoutly refuse to see any good in them?
2654	Will anybody there, any more than here, do your work for you?
2654	Will not a small body and a large one float the same way under the same influence?
2654	Will not the first drop of blood so shed be the real knell of the Union?
2654	Will some one please tell me where is the positive law that establishes slavery in Kansas?
2654	Will the disposition of the people prevent it?
2654	Will they allow me, as an old Whig, to tell them, good- humoredly, that I think this is very silly?
2654	Will they neither obey nor make room for those who will?

2658	Also, what impression have you as to intrenched works for you to contend with in front of Richmond?
2658	And if any, what?
2658	And if so what is it?
2658	And if so what was his offense, and when is he to be executed?
2658	And in any event, can not the North decide for itself whether to receive them?
2658	And is it not needed whenever it helps us and hurts the enemy?
2658	And suppose they could be induced by a proclamation of freedom from me to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them?
2658	And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period?
2658	And why, he asked, should the people of your race be colonized, and where?
2658	And yet have not more been furnished you since then than your entire present stock?
2658	Are the forces still moving north through the gap at Front Royal and between you and there?
2658	Are they not already in the land?
2658	Are you anxious about any part except the city and vicinity?
2658	Are you for it?
2658	Are you for it?
2658	Are you not over- cautious when you assume that you can not do what the enemy is constantly doing?

2658	Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
2658	Can we, can they, by any other means so certainly or so speedily assure these vital objects?
2658	Can you get near enough to throw shells into the city?
2658	Can you not do this almost as well as not while you are building the Chickahominy bridges?
2658	Can you not pursue the retreating enemy, and relieve Cumberland Gap?
2658	Can you not, and will you not, have a full conference with General Halleck?
2658	Can you not?
2658	Change positions with the enemy, and think you not he would break your communication with Richmond within the next twenty- four hours?
2658	Could I get a hundred tolerably intelligent men, with their wives and children, and able to"cut their own fodder,"so to speak?
2658	Could he be of service to you or to Tennessee in any capacity in which I could send him?

2658	Could you give me the facts which prompted you to telegraph?
2658	Did he know what he said, or did he say it without knowing it?
2658	Did you receive a short letter from me dated the 13th of July?
2658	Did you receive my despatch of 12th pardoning John Murphy?
2658	Do we gain anything by quieting one merely to open another, and probably a larger one?
2658	Do you know anything about it?
2658	Do you know him?

2658	Do you not consume supplies as fast as you get them forward?
2658	Do you not, my good friend, perceive that what you ask is simply to put you in command in the West?

2658	Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage?
2658	Is it less fertile?
2658	Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?

2658	MAJOR- GENERAL ROSECRANS, Murfreesborough, Tenn.: Have you anything from Grant?
2658	MAJOR- GENERAL SLOCUM, Leesburg, Va.: Was William Gruvier, Company A, Forty- sixth, Pennsylvania, one of the men executed as a deserter last Friday?
2658	MAJOR- GENERAL Wool, Baltimore: What about Harper''s Ferry?
2658	MRS. A. LINCOLN, Fifth Avenue House, New York:--Did you receive my despatch of yesterday?
2658	MY DEAR SIR:--What think you of forming a reserve cavalry corps of, say, 6000 for the Army of the Potomac?
2658	Major Turner says:"As I remember it, the conversation was:''Why did we not bag them after the battle of Sharpsburg?''
2658	May I not hope that you and he will attempt this?
2658	May he not be in Virginia?
2658	Might not such a corps be constituted from the cavalry of Sigel''s and Slocum''s corps, with scraps we could pick up here and there?
2658	Mrs. ELIZABETH J. GRIMSLEY, Springfield, Ill.: Is your John ready to enter the naval school?
2658	Now, then, tell me, if you please, what possible result of good would follow the issuing of such a proclamation as you desire?
2658	Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,"Can we do better?"
2658	Or is the account that he did fight and rout him false and fabricated?
2658	Or would you prosecute it in future with elder- stalk squirts charged with rose water?
2658	PRESIDENT LINCOLN:[to the corps commanders] In your present encampment what is the present and prospective condition as to health?
2658	PRESIDENT''S ROOM, WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, July[ 15?]
2658	R. P. Crawford to be restored to his office?
2658	ROBERT T. LINCOLN: New York, Fifth Avenue Hotel: Why do I hear no more of you?
2658	SIR:--Can we not renew the effort to organize a force to go to western Texas?
2658	SMITH, Esq., Springfield, Ill.: Why not name him for the general you fancy most?
2658	SPEECH TO THE 12TH INDIANA REGIMENT, MAY[ 15?]
2658	Secondly, will not a movement of our army be a relief to the cavalry, compelling the enemy to concentrate instead of foraging in squads everywhere?
2658	Shall they be withdrawn from Banks, or Grant, or Steele, or Rosecrans?
2658	Should not the remainder of your forces, except sufficient to hold the point at Fredericksburg, move this way-- to Manassas Junction or Alexandria?
2658	Should the enrolled militia then have been broken up and General Herron kept from Grant to police Missouri?
2658	Should you not claim to be at least his equal in prowess, and act upon the claim?
2658	Some of you profess to think its retraction would operate favorably for the Union, why better after the retraction than before the issue?
2658	Supposing he is loyal, can any of his requests be granted, and if any, which of them?
2658	THE PRESIDENT: If you desired could you remove the army safely?
2658	THE PRESIDENT: What amount of force have you now?
2658	THE PRESIDENT: What is likely to be your condition as to health in this camp?
2658	THE PRESIDENT: Where is the enemy now?
2658	THE PRESIDENT:[ to the corps commanders] If it were desired to get the army away, could it be safely effected?
2658	THE PRESIDENT:[ to the corps commanders] Is the army secure in its present position?
2658	THE PRESIDENT:[ to the corps commanders] What is the aggregate of your killed, wounded, and missing from the attack on the 26th ultimo till now?
2658	THE PRESIDENT:[ to the corps commanders] Where and in what condition do you believe the enemy to be now?
2658	TO GENERAL BURNSIDE OR GENERAL PARKE: What news about arrival of troops?
2658	The question is, if the colored people are persuaded to go anywhere, why not there?
2658	The question now practically in dispute is: Can Governor Gamble make a vacancy by removing an officer or accepting a resignation?
2658	The question occurs, Can the thing be done at all?
2658	Upon this probability what is to be done?
2658	WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON CITY, October 24[ 25?
2658	WASHINGTON CITY, August 27, 1862 4 P.M. MAJOR- GENERAL McCLELLAN, Alexandria, Virginia: What news from the front?
2658	WASHINGTON CITY, D.C., SEPTEMBER 12, 1862 MAJOR- GENERAL McCLELLAN, Clarksburg, Maryland: How does it look now?
2658	WASHINGTON, May 27, 1863.11 P.M. MAJOR- GENERAL HOOKER: Have you Richmond papers of this morning?
2658	Was this all wrong?
2658	What can we do to expedite matters?
2658	What could I do?
2658	What do you desire about it?
2658	What do you know of the enemy?
2658	What do you know on the subject?
2658	What does it mean?
2658	What does this mean?
2658	What from Lake Providence?
2658	What from Vicksburg?
2658	What from Yazoo Pass?
2658	What generally?
2658	What generally?
2658	What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do, especially as we are now situated?
2658	What is General Gilbert''s opinion?
2658	What is the amount of it?
2658	What is the latest you have?
2658	What lack you from us?
2658	What next?
2658	What say you?
2658	What think you of it?
2658	What would you do in my position?
2658	When can you reach here?
2658	Whence shall they come?
2658	Where do you understand Buell to be, and what is he doing?
2658	Where is Forrest''s headquarters?
2658	Where is Sedgwick Where is Stoneman?
2658	Where is the enemy which you dread in Louisville?
2658	Why can you not reach there before him, unless you admit that he is more than your equal on a march?
2658	Why did they allow the ordinance to go into effect?
2658	Why did they not assert themselves?
2658	Why did they not hold popular meetings and have a convention of their own to express and enforce the true sentiment of the State?
2658	Why did you not leave before being besieged?
2658	Why may not our country at some time average as many?
2658	Why should they do anything for us if we will do nothing for them?
2658	Why should they leave this country?
2658	Why stand passive and allow themselves to be trodden down by minority?
2658	Will liberation make them any more numerous?
2658	Will not the enemy cut him from thence to Harper''s Ferry?
2658	Will not the good people respond to a united and earnest appeal from us?
2658	Will you not embrace it?
2658	Will you not soon visit Washington again?
2658	Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?
2658	Will you please get in communication with him, and have a full conference with him before you leave for here?
2658	Will you please look into the case and restore the old man to his home if the public interest will admit?
2658	Would my word free the slaves, when I can not even enforce the Constitution in the rebel States?
2658	Would not Stoneman better move up and see about it?
2658	Would not the doing of this be your best mode of counteracting his raid on your communications?
2658	Would you advise that the authority be given him?
2658	Would you deal lighter blows rather than heavier ones?
2658	Would you drop the war where it is?
2658	Would you give up the contest, leaving any available means unapplied?
2658	You ask,"Why is it that the North with her great armies so often is found with inferiority of numbers face to face with the armies of the South?"
2658	but"Can we all do better?"
2657	That is so,one of them says; I wonder if he is a Kentuckian?
2657	?, 1858 As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.
2657	Again, in its political aspect, does anything in any way endanger the perpetuity of this Union but that single thing, slavery?
2657	And how much would it avail you, if you could, by the use of John Brown, Helper''s Book, and the like, break up the Republican organization?
2657	And if I do my duty and do right, you will sustain me, will you not?
2657	And if so treated and driven out, at what point of time would there ever be ten thousand?
2657	And now, my friends, have I said enough?
2657	And should any one in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept?
2657	And then what about Carl Schurz; or, in other words, what about our German friends?
2657	And where will it end?"
2657	And why?
2657	Are General Buell and yourself in concert?
2657	Are you going to split the Ohio down through, and push your half off a piece?
2657	Are you ready to get back the trade on those terms?
2657	Are you strong enough-- are you strong enough even with my help-- to set your foot upon the necks of Sumner, Heintzelman, and Keyes all at once?
2657	August?
2657	But are not the people of the Territories detailed from the States?
2657	But do I think so meanly of you as to suppose that that earnestness is about me personally?
2657	But how?
2657	But those who say they hate slavery, and are opposed to it, but yet act with the Democratic party-- where are they?
2657	But what is the controlling of it"as other property"?
2657	But what was to be done after that time?
2657	But what, at last, is this proposition?
2657	By the way, in what consists the special sacredness of a State?
2657	Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
2657	Can any of you tell any reason why it should not have come into the Union at once?
2657	Can anybody doubt the reason of the difference?
2657	Can they exclude it then?
2657	Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
2657	Can we cast our votes with their view, and against our own?
2657	Can we cast our votes with their view, and against our own?
2657	Can you not elect him to the Legislature?
2657	Can you not see me at Monticello on the 6th of September?
2657	Can you point out the difference?
2657	Can you, without much inconvenience, meet me at Chicago?
2657	Could Washington himself speak, would he cast the blame of that sectionalism upon us, who sustain his policy, or upon you, who repudiate it?
2657	Could Washington himself speak, would he cast the blame of that sectionalism upon us, who sustain his policy, or upon you, who repudiate it?
2657	Could you not set up Lizzie and beat them all?
2657	DEAR SIR:--How is this?
2657	DEAR SIR:--What think you of sending ministers at once as follows: Dayton to England; Fremont to France; Clay to Spain; Corwin to Mexico?
2657	December[?
2657	Did Judge Douglas invent this?
2657	Did any other thing ever cause a moment''s fear?
2657	Did the angry debates which took place at Washington during the last season of Congress lead you to suppose that the slavery agitation was settled?
2657	Did we notify them of this sage view of ours when we borrowed their money?
2657	Did you not find your country free when you came to decide that Ohio should be a free State?
2657	Do any of you know of one?
2657	Do n''t foreign nations interfere with the slave trade?
2657	Do n''t you see that they cut off competition?
2657	Do the Republicans declare against the Union?
2657	Do the commanders of corps disobey your orders in anything?
2657	Do they not have their fugitive slaves returned now as ever?
2657	Do you accept the challenge?
2657	Do you accept the challenge?
2657	Do you receive the answers?
2657	Do you see anything to the contrary?
2657	Do you, any of you, know one single Democrat that showed sorrow over that result?
2657	Does not your plan involve a greatly larger expenditure of time and money than mine?
2657	GENERAL BUELL: Have arms gone forward for East Tennessee?
2657	Gentlemen, is that a true view of the case?
2657	Have they not a position as citizens of this common country, and have we any power to change that position?
2657	Have they not all their rights now as they ever have had?
2657	Have they not the same Constitution that they have lived under for seventy- odd years?
2657	Have you ever got in the way of consulting with McKinley in political matters?
2657	Have you found it necessary to put any such provision in your law?
2657	Have you received these messages?
2657	He has never denounced Mr. Hickman: why?
2657	How can this discrepancy of 23,000 be accounted for?
2657	How many do you suppose there were?
2657	I ask any honest Democrat if the small, the local, and the trivial and temporary question is not, Who shall be governor?
2657	I do not think that this counting is constitutionally essential to the election, but how are we to proceed in the absence of it?
2657	I want to know, now, when that thing takes place, what do you mean to do?
2657	If any one comes that wants slavery, must they not say,"I do n''t care whether freedom or slavery be voted up or voted down"?
2657	If the majority should not rule, who would be the judge?
2657	If the two houses refuse to meet at all, or meet without a quorum of each, where shall we be?
2657	If there is no difference between them, why not make the Territories States at once?
2657	If they were not driven out, but remained there as trespassers upon the public land in violation of the law, can they establish slavery there?
2657	If this feeling of indifference this absence of moral sense about the question prevails in the States, will it not be carried into the Territories?
2657	In case of disaster, would not a retreat be more difficult by your plan than mine?
2657	In establishing a basis of representation they say"all other persons,"when they mean to say slaves-- why did they not use the shortest phrase?
2657	In fact, would it not be less valuable in this, that it would break no great line of the enemy''s communications, while mine would?
2657	In our present differences is either party without faith of being in the right?
2657	In the midst of a bombardment at Fort Donelson, why could not a gunboat run up and destroy the bridge at Clarksville?
2657	In view of our moral, social, and political responsibilities, can we do this?
2657	In view of our moral, social, and political responsibilities, can we do this?
2657	In view of this, might it not be safest for us to cross the Occoquan at Coichester, rather than at the village of Occoquan?
2657	Is anything to be done?
2657	Is controlling it as other property the same thing as destroying it, or driving it away?
2657	Is it just either that creditors shall go unpaid or the remaining States pay the whole?
2657	Is it just that she shall leave and pay no part of this herself?
2657	Is it just that she shall now be off without consent or without making any return?
2657	Is it just that they shall go off without leave and without refunding?
2657	Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against a new and untried?
2657	Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?
2657	Is it not the sacred right of the man who do n''t go there equally to buy slaves in Africa, if he wants them?
2657	Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
2657	Is it true, then, that any right, plainly written in the Constitution, has been denied?
2657	Is not that a falsehood?
2657	Is not this change wrought in your minds a very important change?
2657	Is there a Democrat here who does not deny that the Declaration applies to the negro?
2657	Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
2657	Is there anything else that you think wrong that you are not willing to deal with as wrong?
2657	Is there one in Ohio but declares his firm belief that the Declaration of Independence did not mean negroes at all?
2657	Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new Union as to produce harmony only, and prevent renewed secession?
2657	Is there, then, anything in the constitution or laws of Ohio against raising sugar- cane?
2657	Is this quite just for creditors?
2657	It forces us to ask: Is there in all republics this inherent and fatal weakness?
2657	It is necessary for this squatter sovereignty, but is it true?
2657	It simply leaves the inquiry: What was the understanding those fathers had of the question mentioned?
2657	Kentucky is entirely covered with slavery; Ohio is entirely free from it: What made that difference?
2657	Let us inquire what Judge Douglas really invented when he introduced the Nebraska Bill?
2657	MEMORANDUM FOR A PLAN OF CAMPAIGN[ OCTOBER 1?]
2657	MY DEAR SIR:--Assuming it to be possible to now provision Fort Sumter, under all the circumstances is it wise to attempt it?
2657	MY DEAR SIR:--Why can not Colonel Small''s Philadelphia regiment be received?
2657	May Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories?
2657	Must Congress protect slavery in the Territories?
2657	Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?
2657	No?
2657	Now we claim that we are the only true Union men, and we put to them this one proposition: Whatever endangers this Union, save and except slavery?
2657	Now, I would like to know what is to be done with the nine thousand?
2657	Now, my friends, can the country be saved upon that basis?
2657	Now, tell me, is this not mere impatience?
2657	Now, what is judge Douglas''s popular sovereignty?
2657	Of what tendency is that change?
2657	One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak; but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?
2657	Or are you going to keep it right alongside of us outrageous fellows?
2657	Or shall I decide for myself?
2657	Pray what was it that made you free?
2657	SPRINGFIELD, May 17?
2657	SUPPORT OF THE FUGITIVE SLAVE CLAUSE MEMORANDUM December[ 22?
2657	Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority?
2657	Shall this class of legislation just now beginning with us be general or special?
2657	Shall we put the card through, and arrange the rest afterward?
2657	So they may-- so may individuals; and which-- the Legislature or the courts-- is best suited to try the question of fraud in either case?
2657	Suppose the enemy in force shall dispute the crossing of the Occoquan, what?
2657	Suppose the enemy should attack us in force before we reach the Occoquan, what?
2657	The dissenter laid a guinea over the word and asked,"Do you see it now?"
2657	The fact is substantially true; but does it prove the issue?
2657	The fact is substantially true; but does it prove the issue?
2657	The only dispute on both sides is,"What are their rights?"
2657	The question recurs, what will satisfy them?
2657	The question recurs, what will satisfy them?
2657	The questions are sometimes asked"What is all this fuss that is being made about negroes?
2657	Then he showed him a single word--"Can you see that?"
2657	Then what was it that the"Little Giant"invented?
2657	These natural and apparently adequate means all failing, what will convince them?
2657	These natural and apparently adequate means all failing, what will convince them?
2657	This is a practical and very serious question to you?
2657	To state the question more directly, are all the laws but one to go unexecuted, and the government itself go to pieces lest that one be violated?
2657	To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?
2657	VERSE TO"LINNIE"September 30,?
2657	Was it climate?
2657	Was it soil?
2657	Was it the right of emigrants to Kansas and Nebraska to govern themselves, and a lot of"niggers,"too, if they wanted them?
2657	Was not this the origin of popular sovereignty as applied to the American people?
2657	We deny it; and what is your proof''?
2657	Well, then, I want to know what you are going to do with your half of it?
2657	What constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence?
2657	What do they really want, other than that slavery, being in the Territories, shall be controlled as other property?
2657	What do you want more than anything else?
2657	What does it amount to?
2657	What does it depend upon?
2657	What does that mean?
2657	What induced the Southampton insurrection, twenty- eight years ago, in which, at least, three times as many lives were lost as at Harper''s Ferry?
2657	What is Webb about?
2657	What is conservatism?
2657	What is conservatism?
2657	What is indispensable to you?
2657	What is invasion?
2657	What is it to exclude?
2657	What is it?
2657	What is that reason?
2657	What is the Dred Scott decision?
2657	What is the frame of Government under which we live?
2657	What is the question which, according to the text, those fathers understood"just as well, and even better than we do now"?
2657	What is the reason that Kansas was not fit to come into the Union when it was organized into a Territory, in Judge Douglas''s view?
2657	What is the true condition of the laborer?
2657	What is there now to warrant the condition of affairs presented by our friends over the river?
2657	What is your Senator Martin saying and doing?
2657	What is"sovereignty"in the political sense of the term?
2657	What kept you free?
2657	What mysterious right to play tyrant is conferred on a district of country, with its people, by merely calling it a State?
2657	What objection could be made to him?
2657	What other foreign trade did they treat in that way?
2657	What say you?
2657	What thinks Grimes about it?
2657	What was it?
2657	What word of compromise was there about it?
2657	What would that other channel probably be?
2657	What, then, is coercion?
2657	What, then, is the matter with them?
2657	What-- is needed absolutely?
2657	When he moves on Bowling Green, what hinders it being reinforced from Columbus?
2657	Where is such a judge to be found?
2657	Wherein is a victory more certain by your plan than mine?
2657	Wherein is a victory more valuable by your plan than mine?
2657	Whether that was his object or not I will not stop to discuss, but at all events some kind of a policy was initiated; and what has been the result?
2657	Which of the three powers named by Great Britain as an arbiter shall be chosen by the United States?"
2657	Which of them do the New England delegation prefer?
2657	Why all these complaints?
2657	Why all this excitement?
2657	Why are you so careful, so tender, of this one wrong and no other?
2657	Why did n''t they do it?
2657	Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
2657	Why this deliberate pressing out of view the rights of men and the authority of the people?
2657	Why was this?
2657	Why?
2657	Why?
2657	Why?
2657	Why?
2657	Will it do for me to go on and justify the declaration that Trumbull and I have divided out all the offices among our relatives?
2657	Will it satisfy them if, in the future, we have nothing to do with invasions and, insurrections?
2657	Will it satisfy them, in the future, if we have nothing to do with invasions and insurrections?
2657	Will not every man say,"I do n''t care, it is nothing to me"?
2657	Will they be satisfied if the Territories be unconditionally surrendered to them?
2657	Will they be satisfied if the Territories be unconditionally surrendered to them?
2657	Will you give him credit for that?
2657	Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence?
2657	Will you make war upon us and kill us all?
2657	Will you not say that in this matter he is more wisely for you than you are for yourselves?
2657	Will you please bring with you to- day the message from the War Department, with General Scott''s note upon it, which we had here yesterday?
2657	Will you, if in your power, procure them and forward them to me by express?
2657	Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from-- will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?
2657	Would an exchange of name be an exchange of rights?
2657	Would it be far wrong to define it as"a political community without a political superior"?
2657	Would it be just or generous?
2657	Would that be right?
2657	Would the marching of an army into South Carolina, without the consent of her people, and with hostile intent toward them, be invasion?
2657	Would the number of John Browns be lessened or enlarged by the operation?
2657	Would they have done this if they had not thought slavery wrong?
2657	Would you have that question reduced to its former proportions?
2657	Yet how long before it was unsettled again?
2657	You can not escape this conclusion; and yet, are you willing to abide by it?
2657	You can not escape this conclusion; and yet, are you willing to abide by it?
2657	You produce your proof; and what is it?
2657	You produce your proof; and what is it?
2657	while the durable, the important, and the mischievous one is, Shall this soil be planted with slavery?
14721	Might it not be well for me,queried the officer,"to set this matter right in a letter to some paper, stating the facts as they actually transpired?"
14721	Must a government, of necessity, be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?
14721	That is so,one of them says; I wonder if he is a Kentuckian?
14721	... Are you strong enough-- are you strong enough, even with my help-- to set your foot upon the necks of Sumner, Heintzelman, and Keyes, all at once?
14721	And how much would it avail you if you could, by the use of John Brown, Helper''s book, and the like, break up the Republican organization?
14721	And is it not needed whenever taking it helps us or hurts the enemy?
14721	And is there any doubt that we must all lay aside our prejudices and march, shoulder to shoulder, in the great army of Freedom?
14721	And now I ask why he could not have left that compromise alone?
14721	And now why will you ask us to deny the humanity of the slave, and estimate him as only the equal of the hog?
14721	And should any one in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept?
14721	And suppose they could be induced by a proclamation of freedom from me to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them?
14721	And what shall we have in lieu of it?
14721	And when will we cease to have quarrels over it?
14721	And why the hasty after- indorsement of the decision by the President and others?
14721	Another form of his question is,"Why ca n''t we let it stand as our fathers placed it?"
14721	Are not the tendencies plain?
14721	Are we in a healthful political state?
14721	Are you for it?
14721	Are you for it?
14721	Are you going to split the Ohio down through, and push your half off a piece?
14721	As to the whiskers, having never worn any, do you not think people would call it a piece of silly affectation if I were to begin it now?
14721	At what point shall we expect the approach of danger?
14721	At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected?
14721	But can this question of slavery be considered as among these varieties in the institutions of the country?
14721	But can we, for that reason, run ahead, and infer that he will make any particular change, of which he himself has given no intimation?
14721	But does not this question make a disturbance outside of political circles?
14721	But has it been so with this element of slavery?
14721	But how can we attain it?
14721	But how if she votes herself a slave State unfairly; that is, by the very means for which you say you would hang men?
14721	But if it is a moral and political wrong, as all Christendom considers it to be, how can he answer to God for this attempt to spread and fortify it?
14721	But if it is, how can he resist it?
14721	But if the negro is a man, is it not to that extent a total destruction of self- government to say that he, too, shall not govern himself?
14721	But let me ask Judge Douglas how he is going to get the people to do that?
14721	But what could I do?
14721	But where will you be placed if you reindorse Judge Douglas?
14721	But which system shall be adopted?
14721	But who resists it?
14721	By the way, in what consists the special sacredness of a State?
14721	By what means shall we fortify against it?
14721	Can Judge Douglas find anybody on earth that said that anybody else should form a constitution for a people?...
14721	Can Louisiana be brought into proper practical relation with the Union sooner by sustaining or by discarding her new State government?
14721	Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
14721	Can any man doubt that, even in spite of the people''s will, slavery will triumph through violence, unless that will be made manifest and enforced?
14721	Can he possibly show that it is a less sacred right to buy them where they can be bought cheapest?
14721	Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
14721	Can we afford to sin any more deeply against human liberty?
14721	Can we as Christian men, and strong and free ourselves, wield the sledge or hold the iron which is to manacle anew an already oppressed race?
14721	Can we safely base our action upon any such vague inference?
14721	Can you there, any more than here, raise corn and wheat and oats without work?
14721	Can you, if you swear to support the Constitution and believe that the Constitution establishes a right, clear your oath without giving it support?
14721	Could Washington himself speak, would he cast the blame of that sectionalism upon us, who sustain his policy, or upon you, who repudiate it?
14721	Could he have done it without them?
14721	Did we brave all then to falter now?--now, when that same enemy is wavering, dissevered, and belligerent?
14721	Did we notify them of this sage view of ours when we borrowed their money?
14721	Did you ever, my friends, seriously reflect upon the speed with which we are tending downward?
14721	Do not the signs of the times point plainly the way in which we are going?
14721	Do the commanders of corps disobey your orders in anything?
14721	Do you accept the challenge?
14721	Do you not constantly argue that this is not the right place to oppose it?
14721	Do you not violate and disregard your oath?
14721	Do you think differently?
14721	Does Douglas believe an effort to revive that trade is approaching?
14721	Does he not virtually shift his ground and say that it is not a question for the court, but for the people?
14721	Does he really think so?
14721	Does it appear otherwise to you?
14721	Does it not enter into the churches and rend them asunder?
14721	Does the Judge claim that he is working on the plan of the founders of the government?
14721	Does the Judge say it can stand?
14721	Dr. Ross has a slave named Sambo, and the question is,"Is it the will of God that Sambo shall remain a slave, or be set free?"
14721	For instance, do you suppose that I should ever have got into notice if I had waited to be hunted up and pushed forward by older men?
14721	Free them all, and keep them among us as underlings?
14721	Free them, and make them politically and socially our equals?
14721	Has anything ever threatened the existence of this Union save and except this very institution of slavery?
14721	Has not the Supreme Court decided that question?
14721	Has she formed a constitution that she is likely to come in under?
14721	Has there ever been a time when anybody said that any other than the people of a Territory itself should form a constitution?
14721	Have these very matters ever produced any difficulty amongst us?
14721	Have they produced any differences?
14721	Have we ever had any peace on this slavery question?
14721	Have we no tendency to the latter condition?
14721	Have we not always had quarrels and difficulties over it?
14721	He says,"Why ca n''t this Union endure permanently half slave and half free?"
14721	How are we ever to have peace upon it?
14721	How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes be in favour of degrading classes of white people?
14721	How can he oppose the advances of slavery?
14721	How can we best do it?
14721	How can we feed and care for such a multitude?
14721	How comes it that a man of first- rate powers was deficient in qualities appertaining to his own profession which men less remarkable have possessed?
14721	How comes this vast amount of property to be running about without owners?
14721	How could I be?
14721	How great a majority, do you think, would have been given had Kansas also been secured for slavery?
14721	How is it over?
14721	How is this?
14721	How many times have we had danger from this question?
14721	How would you like that?
14721	How, then, shall we perform it?
14721	I appeal to you whether he did not say it was a question for the Supreme Court?
14721	I ask if somebody does not remember that a national bank was declared to be constitutional?
14721	I ask you if it is not a false philosophy?
14721	I repeat the question, is not Congress itself bound to give legislative support to any right that is established in the United States Constitution?
14721	I repeat, therefore, the question, Is it not plain in what direction we are tending?
14721	I submit to you now, whether the new state of the case has not induced the Judge to sheer away from his original ground?
14721	I want to know, now, when that thing takes place, what do you mean to do?
14721	If one man says it does not mean a negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?
14721	If this is true, how do you propose to improve the condition of things by enlarging slavery,--by spreading it out and making it bigger?
14721	If you ca n''t now live with the land, how will you then live without it?
14721	If you did not feel that it was wrong, why did you join in providing that men should be hung for it?
14721	In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right?
14721	In that arrest all can give aid that will; and who shall be excused that can and will not?
14721	In the first place, what is necessary to make the institution national?
14721	In what way can that compromise be used to keep Lee''s army out of Pennsylvania?
14721	Is Kansas in the Union?
14721	Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?
14721	Is it not to give such constitutional helps to the rights established by that Constitution as may be practically needed?
14721	Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
14721	Is it quite certain that this betters their condition?
14721	Is it the right of the people to have slavery or not to have it, as they see fit, in the Territories?
14721	Is it true, then, that any right, plainly written in the Constitution, has been denied?
14721	Is not that a falsehood?
14721	Is not the slavery agitation still an open question in that Territory?...
14721	Is that the truth?
14721	Is the land any richer?
14721	Is the one right any better than the other?
14721	Is there a single court or magistrate or individual that would be influenced by it there?
14721	Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
14721	Is there any mistaking it?
14721	Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new Union, as to produce harmony only, and prevent renewed secession?
14721	Is there, has there ever been, any question that, by the law of war, property, both of enemies and friends, may be taken when needed?
14721	Is there-- can there be-- any doubt about this thing?
14721	Is this quite just to the creditors?
14721	Is this the work of politicians?
14721	It forces us to ask:"Is there, in all republics, this inherent and fatal weakness?"
14721	It is being executed in the precise way which was intended from the first, else why does no Nebraska man express astonishment or condemnation?
14721	It is colour, then; the lighter having the right to enslave the darker?
14721	It is enough for my purpose to ask, whenever a Republican said anything against it?
14721	Just before reaching the door, Mr. Lincoln came out, and meeting his friend said good- humouredly,"Are you not ahead of time?"
14721	Let me ask you why many of us, who are opposed to slavery upon principle, give our acquiescence to a fugitive- slave law?
14721	May I ask those who have not differed with me, to join with me in this same spirit towards those who have?
14721	Must she still be admitted, or the Union dissolved?
14721	Not only so, but if you were to do so, how long would it take the courts to hold your votes unconstitutional and void?
14721	Not only so, but is there not another fact,--how came this Dred Scott decision to be made?
14721	Now, I wish you to mark, What has become of that squatter sovereignty?
14721	Now, can you or not be prevailed upon to pause and to consider whether this is quite just to us, or even to yourselves?
14721	Now, my friends, can this country be saved on that basis?
14721	Now, on what ground would a member of Congress who is opposed to slavery in the abstract, vote for a fugitive law, as I would deem it my duty to do?
14721	Now, then, tell me, if you please, what possible result of good would follow the issuing of such a proclamation as you desire?
14721	Now, what is Judge Douglas''s popular sovereignty?
14721	Now, who was it that did the work?
14721	Now, why is this?
14721	One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak; but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?
14721	Or are you going to keep it right alongside of us outrageous fellows?
14721	Our political problem now is,"Can we as a nation continue together_ permanently-- for ever_--half slave, and half free?"
14721	Pray, will or may not the Know- nothings, if they should get in power, add the word"protestant,"making it read"_ all protestant white men_"?
14721	Shall fugitives from labour be surrendered by national or by State authority?
14721	Shall he now be arrested in his desolating career?
14721	Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step across the ocean and crush us at a blow?
14721	Should we not stand by our neighbours who seek to better their conditions in Kansas and Nebraska?
14721	The Judge does not seem to be attending to me just now, but I would like to know if it is his opinion that a house divided against itself can stand?
14721	The fact is substantially true; but does it prove the issue?
14721	The great question with them has been,"Will the negro fight for them?"
14721	The question is, will it be wiser to take it as it is and help to improve it, or to reject and disperse it?
14721	The question recurs, how shall we fortify against it?
14721	Then what is necessary for the nationalization of slavery?
14721	Then where is the place to oppose it?
14721	Think you these places would satisfy an Alexander, a Cæsar, or a Napoleon?
14721	To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?
14721	Was it possible to lose the nation and yet preserve the Constitution?
14721	We deny it; and what is your proof?
14721	What are the distinctive merits of these speeches and letters?
14721	What are the uses of decisions of courts?
14721	What can authorize him to draw any such inference?
14721	What can you do in Missouri better than here?
14721	What could I do?
14721	What disturbed the Unitarian Church in this very city two years ago?
14721	What divided the great Methodist Church into two parts, North and South?
14721	What do these terms mean?
14721	What do those terms mean when used now?
14721	What do you understand by supporting the Constitution of a State or of the United States?
14721	What for?
14721	What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do, especially as we are now situated?
14721	What has become of it?
14721	What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of slavery?
14721	What has jarred and shaken the great American Tract Society recently,--not yet splitting it, but sure to divide it in the end?
14721	What has now become of all his tirade against"resistance to the Supreme Court"?
14721	What has raised this constant disturbance in every Presbyterian General Assembly that meets?
14721	What induced the Southampton insurrection, twenty- eight years ago, in which at least three times as many lives were lost as at Harper''s Ferry?
14721	What is a great man?
14721	What is conservatism?
14721	What is fairly implied by the term Judge Douglas has used,"resistance to the decision"?
14721	What is it that we hold most dear amongst us?
14721	What is it?
14721	What is popular sovereignty?
14721	What is popular sovereignty?
14721	What is that something?
14721	What is there in the language of that speech which expresses such purpose or bears such construction?
14721	What is_ sovereignty_ in the political sense of the term?
14721	What mysterious right to play tyrant is conferred on a district of country, with its people, by merely calling it a State?
14721	What name can I, in common decency, give to this wicked transaction?
14721	What next?
14721	What of that?
14721	What one of us but can call to mind some relative more promising in youth than all his fellows, who has fallen a sacrifice to his rapacity?
14721	What other thing that you consider a wrong do you deal with as you deal with that?
14721	What then is_ coercion_?
14721	What then?
14721	What was it placed there for?
14721	What was squatter sovereignty?
14721	What were they but a clear indication that the framers of the Constitution intended and expected the ultimate extinction of that institution?
14721	What would that other channel probably be?
14721	What would you do in my position?
14721	What, then, are their merits?
14721	What?
14721	When are we to have peace upon it if it is kept in the position it now occupies?
14721	When he had finished, Mr. Lincoln said to him,"Have you a blank card?"
14721	When he now says that the people may exclude slavery, does he not make it a question for the people?
14721	When is it likely to come to an end?
14721	When that is so, how much is left of this vast matter of squatter sovereignty, I should like to know?
14721	Which could have come the nearest to doing it without the other?
14721	Who defeated it?
14721	Who has, in spite of the decision, declared Dred Scott free, and resisted the authority of his master over him?
14721	Who is so bold as to do it?
14721	Who, then, shall come in at this day and claim that he invented it?
14721	Why ask us to do for nothing what two hundred millions of dollars could not induce you to do?
14721	Why ask us to do what you will not do yourselves?
14721	Why better after the retraction than before the issue?
14721	Why declare that within twenty years the African slave- trade, by which slaves are supplied, might be cut off by Congress?
14721	Why did you do this?
14721	Why do we hold ourselves under obligations to pass such a law, and abide by it when passed?
14721	Why even a Senator''s individual opinion withheld till after the presidential election?
14721	Why mention a State?
14721	Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
14721	Why should they do anything for us, if we will do nothing for them?
14721	Why the delay of a reargument?
14721	Why the incoming President''s advance exhortation in favour of the decision?
14721	Why the outgoing President''s felicitation on the indorsement?
14721	Why this deliberate pressing out of view the rights of men and the authority of the people?
14721	Why was the Court decision held up?
14721	Why was the amendment expressly declaring the right of the people voted down?
14721	Why were all these acts?
14721	Why will he not read and understand what I have said?
14721	Why will not the North say officially that it wishes for the restoration of the Union as it was?"
14721	Why, yes, Douglas did it?
14721	Why?
14721	Why?
14721	Will Dr. Ross be actuated by the perfect impartiality which has ever been considered most favourable to correct decisions?
14721	Will anybody there, any more than here, do your work for you?
14721	Will some one please tell me where is the_ positive_ law that establishes slavery in Kansas?
14721	Will the Judge pretend that Dred Scott was not held there without police regulations?
14721	Will they allow me, as an old Whig, to tell them good- humouredly that I think this is very silly?
14721	Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence?
14721	Will you make war upon us and kill us all?
14721	Will you not embrace it?
14721	Will you not soon visit Washington again?
14721	Will you please tell me by what_ right_ slavery exists in Texas to- day?
14721	Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from-- will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?
14721	Would an exchange of_ names_ be an exchange of_ rights_ upon principle?
14721	Would he not at once have freed them?
14721	Would it be far wrong to define it"a political community without a political superior?"
14721	Would my word free the slaves, when I can not even enforce the Constitution in the rebel States?
14721	Would not this be the impression of every fair- minded man?
14721	Would the marching of an army into South Carolina, without the consent of her people and with hostile intent towards them, be invasion?
14721	Would the number of John Browns be lessened or enlarged by the operation?
14721	Would you deal lighter blows rather than heavier ones?
14721	Would you drop the war where it is, or would you prosecute it in future with elder- stalk squirts charged with rose- water?
14721	Would you give up the contest, leaving any available means untried?
14721	Would you have that question reduced to its former proportions?
14721	You can not escape this conclusion; and yet, are you willing to abide by it?
14721	You do not mean colour exactly?
14721	You mean the whites are intellectually the superiors of the blacks, and therefore have the right to enslave them?
14721	You produce your proof; and what is it?
14721	You say it is wrong; but do n''t you constantly object to anybody else saying so?
14721	[ A voice:"Then do you repudiate popular sovereignty?"]
14721	[ A voice:"Why do n''t they come out on it?"]
14721	_ Fifth._ In case of disaster, would not a retreat be more difficult by your plan than mine?
14721	_ First._ Does not your plan involve a greatly larger expenditure of time and money than mine?
14721	_ Fourth._ In fact, would it not be less valuable in this, that it would break no great line of the enemy''s communications, while mine would?
14721	_ May_ Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories?
14721	_ Must_ Congress protect slavery in the Territories?
14721	_ Second._ Wherein is a victory more certain by your plan than mine?
14721	_ Third._ Wherein is a victory more valuable by your plan than mine?
14721	and why do they deserve to be valued and remembered?
14721	what is_ invasion_?
