The Every-day Life of Abraham Lincoln

CHAPTER IX
15/37

You inquire where I now stand.

That is a disputed point.

I think I am a Whig; but others say there are no Whigs, and that I am an Abolitionist.
When I was in Washington I voted for the Wilmot Proviso as good as forty times, and I never heard of any attempt to unwhig me for that.

I now do no more than oppose the extension of slavery.

I am not a Know-Nothing--that is certain.
