Speech at Macomb, Illinois1Jump to section

August 25, 1858

. . . Lincoln addressed the Court House full of people in Macomb. His remarks were addressed to the Old Clay Whigs, and to some extent he covered the same ground as in his Augusta speech this afternoon. But he was less formal, and his speech was more like an earnest conversation with his Old Whig friends. The effect produced was excellent, and all went away satisfied and convinced that the Douglasite gabble about the Abolition and Amalgamation principles of the Republican party, was all lies and slander. . . .

Annotation

[1] Chicago Press and Tribune, August 28, 1858. Lincoln spoke at Macomb on the night of August 25.
