         <p> Lincoln writes to Indiana
  Congressman Schuyler Colfax, who had visited Jacksonville, Illinois, on July 4.
  Lincoln explains that he was unable to be in Jacksonville because he "had given
  my word to be at another place." Lincoln seeks Colfax's thoughts on how "to
  hedge against divisions in the Republican ranks" over the "explosive" issues of
  "foreigners...the Fugitive Slave law...[and] the spread...of slavery," all of
  which Lincoln fears will disrupt the "National convention." Lincoln suggests,
  "every locality...should look beyond our noses; and at least say
  <uLine>nothing</uLine> on points where it is probable we shall disagree."
