I have reason to know that Judge Douglas knows that I said this, I think he has theand earns, he is my equal and the equal of Judge Douglas, and the equal of every living man.

Lincoln had said, in the controversy with Douglas, A house divided against itself cannot stand. In view of these suggestions, some of us were for accepting the situation, after our fashion, and found ourselves imitating that first mate of a vessel, who, seeing her to be in danger, and being bidden by his captain to go forward and attend to his own part of the ship, came aft again presently, touched his cap, and said, Captain--, my part of the ship is at anchor.
