I tell you that Andrew Jackson...
:01:39
that great volcano at Washington...
:01:42
is belching forth
a lava of political corruption...
:01:45
which is sweeping over
the length and breadth of this land...
:01:48
leaving unscathed no green spot,
no living thing.
:01:53
Sangamon County, take warning.
:01:55
Send me, John T. Stuart,
back to the legislature...
:02:00
and I'll see that everyJackson man in office
is whipped out of the place...
:02:04
like a dog out of a meat house!
:02:08
And now, my friends...
:02:10
I bow to one of your own
citizens of New Salem...
:02:14
who will address you further...
:02:16
on behalf of the great
and incorruptible Whig Party.
:02:21
God bless it.
:02:44
Gentlemen and fellow citizens...
:02:49
I presume you all know who I am.
:02:53
I'm plain Abraham Lincoln.
:02:57
I've been solicited by many friends...
:02:59
to become a candidate
for the legislature.
