Abraham Lincoln actually said...

"That was the birthday of the United States of America."

"He whose will, not ours, should ever be done be everywhere remembered and ever reverenced with profoundest gratitude."

"Now I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, under the authority of said section, do allot the said associate justice, Stephen J. Field, to the said tenth circuit."

"In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed."
