day
For this is Lincoln's birth-
11:intcoulsifgsobibrathckdaytoan
- - ' other But
to February 32 1801
- A short little locomotive
with a tiattopped smokestack is puffing along
the single track that winds among the gently
rolling hills of Ohio Back there In one of the
wooden coaches a tall gaunt man sits by a win-
dow gazing out over the bleak winter landscape
Yesterday he had stood on the rear platform
of a train at the brick railway station in Spring-
field Ill A crowd bf nearly a thousand people
silent bareheaded in the cold drizzle of rain
had listened to'these words:
"Friends no one who has never been placed in
a like position can understand my feelings at
this hour nor the oppressive sadness I feel at
this parting For more than a quarter of a cen-
tury I have lived among you and during all that
time I have received nothing but kindness at
your hands -
"Here I have lived from my youth till now I
am an old Man Here the most sacred trusts of
earth were assumed here all my children were 4
born and here Oue of them lies buried To yott
' dear friends I owe all that I have all that I am
All the strange checkered past seems to crowd
now upon my mind
"Today I leave you I go to assume a task
more difficult than that which devolved upon
General Washington Unless the great God who
assisted him shall be with and aid me I must
fail But if the same omniscient mind and the
same almighty arm that directed and protected
him shall guide and support me I shall not fail
I shall succeed Let us all pray that the God
of our fathers may not forsake us now To Him
I commend you all Permit me to ask that with
equal sincerity and faith you will all invoke His
wisdom and guidance for me
"With these few words I must leave you—for
bow long I know not: Friends one and all I
must now bid you an affectionate farewell"
s Ai s
"Now I am an old man" he had said
Yes Abraham Lincoln is fifty-two years old
this twelfth (lay of February 1861 But he has
come a long way in those 52 years
'This t hould be a happy birthday for Abraham
Lincoln But his three boys Bob and Willie and
Tad hear the sigh that escapes from his lips as
be turns from the window and they bush their
noisy play And Mary Todd Lincoln sees in the
deep-set eyes that look of sadness which will
shadow the face of this "Man of Sorrows" for -
the next four years
Yes he Is President-elect of the United States
of America or should be say "the Disunited
States"? ' -
- Six weeks after his election South Carolina
had passed its ordinance of secession During
the next month Georgia Alabama Mississippi:
Louisiana and Florida had followed the Palmetto
state's lead On February 4 representatives from -
these states had met at Montgomery Ala and
organized the "Confederate States of America"
Five more Texas North Carolina Virginiai
Tennessee and Arkansas were almost certain to
join the six that had already departed from the
Union The future course of three "border
states" Maryland Kentucky and Missouri as
well as the northern slave state of Delaware
was doubtful And always in the background
loomed the threat of a fratricidal war between
the North and the South
So much depended upon what he said' and how
he said it that he had toiled night and day for
three weeks over his inaugural address
"Ile wrote it as a composer writes a sym-
phony" says Don Glassman in the Washington
Star "Ile marshaled all the melody in words
all the rhythm of speech and euphony of Ian
gunge to build a monument out of cold syllables
lie weighed every one on a musical scale
lie employed them as full notes and half notes
lie would pronounce each word separately and
feel convinced of Its necessity both as to thought
and style By the time he finished a sentence
It would harbor no contradictory' thought or
coarse note The words were riveted together
so thet to strike out an adjective or syllable
would upset the thought and leave a gaping hole
In the sentence" -
Ever since his election his mall had been full
of letters bearing southern postmarks Some
were signed with the names and addresses of
the senders others were anonymous They were
filled with 'kuch words as "Black Republican"
"mulatto scamps" "jall-birds" "rascals" and
"thieves"
"Caesar had his Brutus! Charles the First
his Cromwell And the President may profit by

' ' A Letter rrom the South
their example" warned another which was -
' signed "from one of a sworn band of 10 who have
resolved to shoot you from the south side of the
avenue In the inaugural procession on the fourth
of March 1S01" And still another declared:
"This Is to Inform you that there Is a club of
100 young men in this place who have sworn to
- murder you"
It was hard for him to believe that anyone
Should desire his death But conviction came at
last More disturbing though were the rumors
of men in high places who were about to turn 0
traitor to their country and who might have
guilty knowledge of plans for reducing it to a
state of anarchy So he sent the adjutant-gen-
eral of Illinois to Washington to sound out Gen
Winfield Scott head of the army Scott was a
Virginian and hi a loyalty was suspected Back
- came the reply from that doughty old lighter:
"Tell Mr Lincoln that if necessary I'll plant
cannon at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue
and if any show their heads or even venture
to raise a finger blow 'em to hell!"
But not even such reassurance could bring
peace to Lincoln's troubled mind As the train
bore him nearer and nearer to the capital and
to the day when he would take the oath of of-:
flee his despair deepened
"To the anxious listening country his speeches
on the joerney to Washington were disappoint-
ing" writes Nathaniel IV Stephenson in "The
Chrokicles of America" 'Perhaps his strangely
sensitive mind felt too powerfully the fateful
'less of the moment and reacted with a sort of
lightness that did not really represent the real
man"
Arriving in Philadelphia he was informed that
Allan Pinkerton's Secret Service men had uncov
ered indisputable evidence of a well-laid plot to
assassinate him Ile was urged to leave the
City of Brotherly Love that night His reply
was: "I have promised to raise the flag over
Independence hall tomorrow morning and visit
the legislature at Harrisburg Beyond that I
have no engagements"
After the Harrisburg reception a special train
consisting of a locomotive baggage car and
coach sped back to Philadelphia There Allan
Pinkerton met the President-elect with a well
guarded carriage in which he was taken swiftly
' across the city to another station where be
boarded a sleeping car
On the morning of February 23 the wires
bummed with the news that the new President
had made a secret entrance into the capital
"The Prince of Balls sneaked In under the cover

of night" sneered some of his enemies Others
called him "that Illinois ape"
Thus Abraham Lincoln came to 1Vashington
Never before nor since has a President-elect en-
tered the nation's capital to assume the duties
of his high office under such circumstances
The next eight days were a nightmare—of per-
sistent annoyance by a horde of job-seekers of
rumors of disasters that were about to befall
of threats of sneers of countless indignities
March 4 dawned a "blue Monday" It had
been raining Pennsylvania avenue was a broad
highway of spattery mud Silence hung heavy
over the crowd massed around the Willard hotel
as President Buchanan and President-elect Lin-
coln entered an open barouche and started up
the avenue toward the Capitol Sharpshooters
were stationed on the house-tops with orders to
sweep the avenue with their tire if there was
any uprising Inthe side streets troops were
massed ready for action Other detachments
were stationed beside the Capitol steps and
near the north entrance a battery of artillery
was ready to unleash a blast of death If need be
Still unfinished the Capitol dome was sur-
mounted by huge derricks held In place by steel
cables "People might 'have drawn a striking
parallel between the condition of the republic
and its chief building j On a level with the
spectators stood the bronze figure of Liberty
which would later surmount the dome Perhaps
she was making silent appeal to the man in
black" -
Itch stepped forward until he stood beneath a
canopy surmounted by the Stars and Stripes
For the first time a wave of cheering swept over
the crowd of 30000 massed on the Capitol steps
and in front
"Fellow citizens of the United States!"
There was emphasis on that word "United"
The murmur of the crowd was hushed as his
firm clear far-carrying voice went on
''The Union will endure forever no state
upon its own mere motion can lawfully get out
of the Union I therefore consider that the
Union is unbroken there need be no blood-
shed or violence In your hands my dissatis-
fied countrymen and not in mine Is the mo-
mentous question of civil war The govern-
ment will not assail you You have no oath
registered in heaven to destroy the government
while I shall have the solemn one to 'preserve
protect and defend' "
And so on to the each
''l am loath to close We are not enemies but
friends 1Ve must not be enemies Though pas-
sion may have strained it must not break our
bonds of affection The mystic chords of mem-
ory stretching from every battlefield and pa-
triot grave to every living heart and hearth-
stone all over this broad land will yet swell the
chorus of the Union when again touched as
surely they will be by the better angels of our
nature"
A roar of applause from friend and enemy
alike Chief Justice Taney stepped forward hold
lug a gold-clasped Bible Then two men repeat-
ed together: "I do solemnly swear that I will
faithfully execute the office of President of the
United States and will to the best of my ability
preserve protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States So help me Cod!"
Abraham Lincoln was President of the United
