para 1:

1层：

In complaining of what I said in my speech at

Springfield, in which he says I accepted my

nomination for the Senatorship . . . he again quotes

that portion in which I said that “a house divided

against itself cannot stand.” Let me say a word in

regard to that matter. He tries to persuade us that

there must be a variety in the different institutions of

the States of the Union; that that variety necessarily

proceeds from the variety of soil, climate, of the face

of the country, and the difference in the natural

features of the States. I agree to all that.

回应道格拉斯

2层：

Have these very matters ever produced any difficulty among us?

Not at all. Have we ever had any quarrel over the fact

that they have laws in Louisiana designed to regulate

the commerce that springs from the production of

sugar? Or because we have a different class relative to

the production of flour in this State? Have they

produced any differences? Not at all. They are the

very cements of this Union. They don’t make the

house a “house divided against itself.” They are the

props that hold up the house and sustain the Union.

怼道格拉斯

para 2:

3层：

But has it been so with this element of slavery?

Have we not always had quarrels and difficulties over

it? And when will we cease to have quarrels over it?

Like causes produce like effects. It is worth while to

observe that we have generally had comparative

peace upon the slavery question, and that there has

been no cause for alarm until it was excited by the

effort to spread it into new territory. Whenever it has

been limited to its present bounds, and there has

been no effort to spread it, there has been peace.

给观点

4层：

All the trouble and convulsion has proceeded from

efforts to spread it over more territory. It was thus at

the date of the Missouri Compromise. It was so again

with the annexation of Texas; so with the territory

acquired by the Mexican War; and it is so now.

Whenever there has been an effort to spread it there

has been agitation and resistance. . . . Do you think

that the nature of man will be changed, that the same

causes that produced agitation at one time will not

have the same effect at another?
