I have never had a feeling politicaly that did not spring from the Declaration of Independance...that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all men should have an equal chance...Now, my friends, can this country be saved upon that basis?...If this country cannot be saved without giving up on that principle.....I would rather be assassinated on this spot than surrender to it.

His opposition said this about him
This man's appearance, his pedigree, his coarse jokes and anecdotes, his vulgar similes, and his policy are a discgrace to the seat he holds.
It doesn't seem like things have changed at all reguarding political opposites.....

It is infact our 16th President Abraham Lincoln.
The quote from the opposition was from none other than the assassin himself...
John Wilkes Booth
