New York Times, February 6, 1861

“We have already more than once expressed our opinion, that the first duty of men of all parties, Democrats and Republicans,--is to lay aside all their political differences and rally to the support of the Constitution and the Union…. The Democrats, however, do not take this view of the subject. Their Conventions, their leaders, their public journals, while proclaiming their devotion to the Union, evade all responsibility for its preservation,--ignore utterly the plain, universal duty of loyalty to it, and demand that the Republicans shall preserve it in a specific manner,--namely, by compromising the questions at issue.”

Lincoln’s First Inaugural

“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 of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”
