D. W.
100,000 slaves are now in the United States military
service Abolishing slavery in Washington, DC Abraham or "Abram" Act in such a manner as to create no bad feeling Affected contempt of refinement All know where he went in at; can't tell where he
will come out at All agreed on this except South Carolina and Georgia And the war came As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a
master Ask of you military success, and I will risk the
dictatorship Bad promises are better broken than kept Better for their own good than if they had been
successful Boiling the shadow of a pigeon that had starved
to death Bread that his own hands have earned Came forward and made a virtue of necessity Colonization Common right of humanity Compensated Emancipation Conspiracy to perpetuate and nationalize slavery Constitution alludes to slavery three times Could not afford to make money Counterfeit logic Crime to tell him that he is free! Danger of third parties Declaring the African slave trade piracy Direct while appearing to obey Dirge of one who has no title to himself Distinction between a purpose and an expectation Don't think it will do him a bit of good either Dred Scott Endeavoring to blow up a storm that he may

citizenship Free all the slaves, and send them to Liberia Fugitive Slave law Further Democratic Party Criticism General Grant is a copious worker General McClellan's Tired Horses Get along without making either slaves or
wives of negroes Gingerbread God gave him but little, that little let him enjoy Government cannot endure permanently half slave

when he wants to Idealization which so easily runs into the
commonplace If the minority will not acquiesce,
the majority must If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong If you do not like him, let him alone Ills you fly from have no real existence In the course of ultimate extinction Irresponsible Newspaper Reporters and Editors Is there in all republics this inherent and
fatal weakness? It is bad to be poor Jibes and sneers in place of argument Judges are as honest as other men,
