If You Live Up To Your Privileges,

There Is No Such Thing As Immaterial Matter. All Spirit Is Matter, But Is More Fine Or Pure, And Can Only Be Discerned By Purer Eyes. We Cannot See It, But When Our Bodies Are Purified, We Shall See That It Is All Matter.

I Would Not Have Suffered My Name To Have Been Used By My Friends On Anywise As President Of The United States, Or Candidate For That Office, If I And My Friends Could Have Had The Privilege Of Enjoying Our Religious And Civil Rights As American Citizens, Even Those Rights Which The Constitution Guarantees Unto All Her Citizens Alike.

I Am Tired Of The Misrepresentation, Calumny And Detraction, Heaped Upon Me By Wicked Men; And Desire And Claim, Only Those Principles Guaranteed To All Men By The Constitution And Laws Of The United States And Of Illinois.

The Constitution, When It Says, "we, The People Of The United States, In Order To Form A More Perfect Union, Establish Justice, Ensure Domestic Tranquility, Provide For The Common Defense, Promote The General Welfare, And Secure The Blessings Of Liberty To Ourselves And Our Posterity, Do Ordain And Establish This Constitution For The United States Of America," Meant Just What It Said Without Reference To Color Or Condition, Ad Infinitum.

Our Nation, Which Possesses Greater Resources Than Any Other, Is Rent, From Center To Circumference, With Party Strife, Political Intrigues, And Sectional Interest; Our Counselors Are Panic Stricken, Our Legislators Are Astonished, And Our Senators Are Confounded.
