I repeat the declaration made a year ago, that 'while I remain in my present position I shall not attempt to retract or modify the emancipation proclamation, nor shall I return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation, or by any of the Acts of Congress.'

I read at New Salem, which never had three hundred people living in it. The books, and your capacity for understanding them, are just the same in all places.
