each other; but the different parts of our country cannot do this. They cannot but remain face to face, and intercourse, either amicable or hostile, must continue between them. Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? Can treaties be more
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000101
faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight always; and when, after much loss on both sides, an no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identical old questions as to terms of intercourse are again upon you. This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000102
they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their CONSTITUTIONAL right of amending it, or their REVOLUTIONARY right to dismember or overthrow it. I cannot be ignorant of the fact that many worthy and patriotic citizens are desirous of having the national Constitution amended. While I make no recommendation of amendments, I fully recognize the rightful authority
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000103
of the people over the whole subject, to be exercised in either of the modes prescribed in the instrument itself; and I should, under existing circumstances, favor rather than oppose a fair opportunity being afforded the people to act upon it. I will venture to add that to me the convention mode seems preferable, in that it allows amendments to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000104
originate with the people themselves, instead of only permitting them to take or reject propositions originated by others not especially chosen for the purpose, and which might not be precisely such as they would wish to either accept or refuse. I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution--which amendment, however, I have not seen--has passed Congress, to the effect that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000105
the Federal Government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service. To avoid misconstruction of what I have said, I depart from my purpose not to speak of particular amendments so far as to say that, holding such a provision to now be implied Constitutional law, I have no objection to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000106
its being made express and irrevocable. The chief magistrate derives all his authority from the people, and they have conferred none upon him to fix terms for the separation of the states. The people themselves can do this also if they choose; but the executive, as such, has nothing to do with it. His duty is to administer the present
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000107
government, as it came to his hands, and to transmit it, unimpaired by him, to his successor. Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world? In our present differences is either party without faith of being in the right? If the Almighty Ruler
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000108
of Nations, with his eternal truth and justice, be on your side of the North, or on yours of the South, that truth and that justice will surely prevail, by the judgment of this great tribunal, the American people. By the frame of the government under which we live, this same people have wisely given their public servants but little
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000109
power for mischief; and have, with equal wisdom, provided for the return of that little to their own hands at very short intervals. While the people retain their virtue and vigilance, no administration, by any extreme of wickedness or folly, can very seriously injure the government in the short space of four years. My countrymen, one and all, think calmly
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000110
and WELL upon this whole subject. Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time. If there be an object to HURRY any of you in hot haste to a step which you would never take DELIBERATELY, that object will be frustrated by taking time; but no good object can be frustrated by it. Such of you as are now dissatisfied,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000111
still have the old Constitution unimpaired, and, on the sensitive point, the laws of your own framing under it; while the new administration will have no immediate power, if it would, to change either. If it were admitted that you who are dissatisfied hold the right side in the dispute, there still is no single good reason for precipitate action.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000112
Intelligence, patriotism, Christianity, and a firm reliance on him who has never yet forsaken this favored land, are still competent to adjust in the best way all our present difficulty. In YOUR hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in MINE, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail YOU. You can have no conflict without being
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000113
yourselves the aggressors. YOU have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the government, while _I_ shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it." I am loathe to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords

Revelation of Saint John the Divine The Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible The First Book of Moses: Called Genesis : In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. : And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000125
the face of the waters. : And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. : And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. : And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000126
God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. : And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. : And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000127
the morning were the second day. : And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. : And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. : And God
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000128
said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. : And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000129
God saw that it was good. : And the evening and the morning were the third day. : And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: : And let them be for lights in
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000130
the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. : And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. : And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000131
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. : And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. : And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000132
in the open firmament of heaven. : And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. : And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000133
fowl multiply in the earth. : And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. : And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. : And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000134
cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. : And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000135
all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. : So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. : And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000136
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. : And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000137
you it shall be for meat. : And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. : And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000138
very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. : Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. : And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. : And God blessed
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000139
the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. : These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, : And every plant of the field before it
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000140
was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. : But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. : And the LORD God formed
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000141
man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. : And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. : And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000142
to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. : And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. : The name of the first is Pison: that is
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000143
it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; : And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. : And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. : And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000144
is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. : And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. : And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: : But of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000145
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. : And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. : And out of the ground the LORD
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000146
God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. : And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000147
for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. : And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; : And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000148
unto the man. : And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. : Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. : And they were both naked,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000149
the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. : Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? : And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000150
the fruit of the trees of the garden: : But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. : And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: : For God doth know that
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000151
in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. : And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000152
did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. : And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. : And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000153
and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. : And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? : And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000154
he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? : And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. : And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000155
that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. : And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000156
: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. : Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000157
he shall rule over thee. : And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000158
Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; : In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. : And Adam called his wifes name
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000159
Eve; because she was the mother of all living. : Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. : And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000160
the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: : Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. : So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000161
keep the way of the tree of life. : And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. : And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. : And in process of time
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000162
it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. : And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: : But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000163
was very wroth, and his countenance fell. : And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? : If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. : And
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000164
Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. : And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brothers keeper? : And he said, What hast thou done? the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000165
voice of thy brothers blood crieth unto me from the ground. : And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brothers blood from thy hand; : When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. :
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000166
And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. : Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000167
me shall slay me. : And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. : And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
60

twg_000000000168
: And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch. : And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. : And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000169
of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. : And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle. : And his brothers name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ. : And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000170
an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah. : And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. : If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000000171
truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. : And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. : And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call
60

upon the name of the LORD. : This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; : Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. : And Adam lived an hundred and

thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth: : And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: : And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. : And Seth
