Lincoln's Ecrly Politiccl Creed

(From an address of Abraharn Lincoln delivered at Sa\gamon, March gth, 1832.)

Every man is said to fra\e trip, iieculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can sadfd one that f have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow-men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition, is yet to be developed.

My case is thrown exclusively upon the independent voters of the country; and, if elected, they will have conferred a favor on me for which I shall be unremitting in my efforts to compensate. But if the good people in their wisdom shall see fit to keep me in the background, I have been too familiar with disappointment to be very much chagrined.
