Reply #40: Are you sure that is found in Lincoln's first inauguarl address

[Thothmes]

I have just reread that speech and do not find the quote you cite in the final version of the First Inaugural address. The only reference to labor that I can find in that speech is in paragraph six "delivering up of fugitives from service or labor." A second referece to labor is found in para 7 "No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws therof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of an law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due." I could find no reference to "Capital" in Lincolns address either. Which paragraph of Lincoln's First Inaugural Address is you quote located?
