Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln Before 1860: Associates While Living in Springfield, Excerpts From Newspapers and Other SourcesSir, he said, disguise the fact as you will, there is an enmity be tween the Northern and the Southern people that is deep and endur ing, and you never can eradicate it-never. Look at the spectacle exhibited on this ¿oor! How is it?, There are the Republican Northern Senators upon that side, here are the Southern Senators on this side. How much social intercourse is there between them? You sit upon your side silent and gloomy, we sit upon ours with knit brows and portentous scowls. Yesterday I observed that there was not a solitary man on that side of the chamber who came over here even' to extend the civilities and courtesies of life, nor did any of us go over there. Here are two hostile bodies on this ¿oor, and it is but a type of the feelings that exist between the two sections. We are enemies as much as if we were hostile states. I believe that the Northern people hate the South worse than ever the English people hated France, and I can tell my brothers over there that there is no love lost on the part of the South.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
