Excerpt from Letter to the President and People of the United States So much as to the nature of the policy, separation of the races, dictated by the higher law. This separation must not only be social, but also political, and, in time, territorial. Perfect compliance with this divine law requires that each race must have, in due time, a country of its own'. The consequences which further disobedience to the higher law will probably entail, will make the imperative nature of its policy more evident.

Excerpt from Letter to the President of the United States The immediate occasion which has emboldened me to the liberty upon which I am venturing, may be briefly explained. Not long since, in taking up one of the pa pers of the day, my eye fell upon a printed letter which had been addressed to the President of the United States by the head of a flourishing Western university. I read it with attention - an attention probably the more inter ested because the circumstances and the experiences of the writer, as he presented them, exhibited a singular series of resemblances and contrasts with my own. Your correspondent represents himself in that letter to have been, at the opening of the war, in charge of a flour ishing seminary of learning. He saw himself surrounded by several hundred noble-spirited youths whom he loved with a father's affection, and by whom he was loved in return. He saw them suddenly inspired with the martialspirit. He could hardly restrain them from rushing in a body to the field. He saw them organized into a battal ion and subjected to military drill. He saw some, impa tient of delay, enlisting in the earliest levies, and fighting on the disastrous day of Bull Run. He has since seen many scattered over all the wide arena of conflict, pour ing out their lives for their country, or captured and languishing in Southern prisons, or swept off by disease in unwholesome camps, or stretched on beds of suffering in the homes to which they have returned to die. And besides these, he sees others whom the sword has not yet reached, nor sickness paralyzed, rallying still to the call of that country in whose sacred cause so large a number of their youthful brothers have already laid down their lives.

Excerpt from The President's Words: A Selection of Passages From the Speeches, Addresses, and Letters of Abraham Lincoln The funeral service of the lgth of April, 1865, was the most impressive religious service ever held in this country. By one impulse, the people of the land thronged the churches, which, at the hour of the funeral of the President, were everywhere open. At that hour, more people in this land united in the public worship of God, than ever united in such service on any day before. In Massachusetts, the day has been historical for nearly two centuries. It is now marked by one more association, which will remain in memory till the young children of this generation have grown old and passed away.

Excerpt from A Letter to the Hon. Benjamin R. Curtis, Late Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States: In Review of His Recently Published Pamphlet on the "Emancipation Proclamation" Of the President I propose respectfully, but with perfect frankness, to review your recently published pamplet on the subject of the President's "Emancipation Proclamation " of September 22d, 1862. This would have been done at an earlier day, but it is only very recently that I first saw the pamphlet. It is to be regretted that, regarding - as you profess to do - this proclamation and that of the 24th of the same month, as fraught with peril to your countrymen, you did not treat them separately. They differ radically and essentially in subject and in intent. The one is limited in its application to the rebel States, the other applies equally there and here. The one involves ultimate results and consequences of the most important and enduring character; the other is, in its very nature, temporary. The one gives rise to considerations of a kind wholly different from, and irrelevant to, the other; yet your pamphlet so confuses them together, that it is quite difficult, if not impossible, to discover what, in your view, is the distinguishing fatal error of each. Justice to the subject, which you declare to be of such momentous import; justice to the Head of this great nation, whose acts you arraign as bordering on, if not actually amounting to, the crime of usurpation; justice to the elevated position you so recently occupied, required that you should at least have pointed out separately, distinctly, and in the most lucid manner, the grounds on which you base a charge of such magnitude. Instead of that, we have here (to use a legal term with which you are familiar) a complete "hotch-potch." These different and distinct matters are thrown indiscriminately together; and, in many instances, no ingenuity can determine whether your argument, your illustrations, your deprecatory expressions, apply to the one proclamation or to the other.

A beautiful commemorative edition of Dr. Martin Luther King's essay "Letter from Birmingham Jail," part of Dr. King's archives published exclusively by HarperCollins. With an afterword by Reginald Dwayne Betts On April 16, 1923, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., responded to an open letter written and published by eight white clergyman admonishing the civil rights demonstrations happening in Birmingham, Alabama. Dr. King drafted his seminal response on scraps of paper smuggled into jail. King criticizes his detractors for caring more about order than justice, defends nonviolent protests, and argues for the moral responsibility to obey just laws while disobeying unjust ones. "Letter from Birmingham Jail" proclaims a message - confronting any injustice is an acceptable and righteous reason for civil disobedience. This beautifully designed edition presents Dr. King's speech in its entirety, paying tribute to this extraordinary leader and his immeasurable contribution, and inspiring a new generation of activists dedicated to carrying on the fight for justice and equality.

Excerpt from Life of Abraham Lincoln: Presenting His Early History, Political Career, and Speeches in and Out of Congress; Also, a General View of His Policy as President of the United States; With His Messages, Proclamations, Letters, Etc The Third Part of this work comprises the events of the last year of Mr. Lincoln's life, with his public papers and addresses of the same period, as well as many letters and speeches of an earlier date, not given in the previous parts. The summary of the closing campaigns of the war has been prepared with care, as well as the political history of the time. N 0 year of the nation's existence has been more memorable than that commena ing on the 1st of May, 1864. Before its close, a gigantic rebellion was finally crushed, and our great and good President, after witnessing the triumph of his labors, fell a martyr to the cause he had so firmly upheld through the darkest hours. Would that the work were more worthy the theme. No name will be sacred in our country's annals, or more perpetual in the memor of the world, than that of abraham lincoln.
