" And would such a course be regarded as at all dishonorable, or inconsistent with moral rectitude, as measured by ordinary standards? Not in the least.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 11 It is considered the right of young men to make the best terms they can with fortune and the world. It is hardly fashionable to be very nice in consulting conscience on such a point.
But not so thought Abraham Lincoln. His moral sense was too nice to make his politics merely subservient to his interests. He sup- ported or op...posed public measures as they seemed to him right and beneficent, or the opposite. With him a vote was a matter of con- science. He adopted his political theories because he thought they were right, and in their defense he was ready to incur any sacrifice. " Rather than surrender his principles, he would prefer to be assassin- ated on the spot, " — so he tells us in words that seem prophetic.
And so this popular young lawyer, with talents fitting him to oc- cupy the highest places, buried himself in what seemed an impene- trable obscurity by joining a hopeless political minority, and by adher- ing to its fortunes with unwavering fidelity.
