blushing honors thick upon him; yet the poorest and plainest amongst

         <p>In a letter to Thomas Corwin, a
  Republican congressman from Ohio, Lincoln clarifies his stance on slavery and
  expresses his thoughts on the political platform that should be adopted by
  Republican candidates running for office in Illinois. Lincoln writes, "Do you
  understand me as saying Illinois must have an extreme antislavery candidate? I
  do not so mean. We must have, though, a man who recognizes the Slavery issue as
  being the living issue of the day; who does not hesitate to declare slavery a
  wrong, nor to deal with it as such; who believes in the power, and duty of
  Congress to prevent the spread of it." <bibl default='NO'>Abraham Lincoln to Thomas Corwin,

"I am here, just now, attending court," Lincoln begins his reply to 
letter he read in Smith's store yesterday. "If we could have a 
moderate, carefully adjusted, protective tariff, so far acquiesced 
in, as to not be a perpetual subject of political strife, squabbles, 
charges, and uncertainties, it would be better for us." He does not 
intend this as public statement.
