ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Addressed the people of McDonough County on this spot
October 26, 1858.
"Let ups have faith that right makes might; and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.
"We here highly resolve that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the Earth.
"With malice towards none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right. Let us strive on to finish the work we are in."
