How can we avert a calamity at which humanity and civilization shudder?
I have given my views, speaking for no other man, frankly and fearlessly, and I will stand by them now and in the future.
We have done no wrong; we have no apologies to make, and no concessions to offer.
The worst evil that could befall our country is civil war, but the outrages in Kansas cannot be continued much longer without producing it.
