"The following is Lincoln's speech on Dec. 26, 1839 to
the bankers who were swindling our young country."
"[A debate
opponent] confidently predicts, that every State in the Union will vote
for Mr. Van Buren at the next Presidential election. Address that argument
to cowards and to knaves; with the free and the brave it will effect
nothing. It may be true; if it must, let it. Many free countries have lost
their liberty; and ours may lose hers; but if she shall, be it my proudest
plume, not that I was the last to desert, but that I never deserted her. I
know that the great volcano at Washington, aroused and directed by the
evil spirit that reigns there, belching forth the lava of political
corruption, in a current broad and deep, which is sweeping with frightful
velocity over the whole length and breadth of the land, bidding fair to
leave no green spot or living thing, while on its bosom are riding like
demons on the waves of Hell, the imps of that evil spirit, and fiendishly
taunting all those who dare resist its destroying course, with the
hopelessness of their effort; and knowing this, I cannot deny that all may
be swept away. Broken by it, I, too, may be; bow to it I never
will.
"The probability that we may fall in the struggle ought not
to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just; it shall
not deter me. If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to
those dimensions not wholly unworthy of its Almighty Architect, it is when
I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside,
and I standing up boldly and alone and hurling defiance at her victorious
oppressors. Here, without contemplating consequences, before High heaven,
and in the face of the world, I swear eternal fidelity to the just cause,
as I deem it, of the land of my life, my liberty and my love. And who,
that thinks with me, will not fearlessly adopt the oath I take. Let none
falter, who thinks he is right, and we may succeed. But, if after all, we
shall fail, be it so. We still shall have the proud consolation of saying
to our consciences, and to the departed shade of our country's freedom,
that the cause approved of our judgment, and adored of our hearts, in
disaster, in chains, in torture, in death, we never faltered in
defending."
