Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure--a flat failure with him it has been one of splendid success.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
An inspection of the Constitution will show that the right of property in a slave in not distinctly and expressly affirmed in it.
