Douglas’ Voice
I don’t forget.
The act of ’75 does not apply,
Except to laws resisted, where a marshall
Is overpowered.
Another Voice
And there is no marshall,
There is no judge in the seceded States.
Another Voice
You will appoint one, so you promised.
Lincoln
Yes.
Douglas’ Voice
Then, sir, what cause is there for apprehension?
Who dares to say your President will pursue
A policy of war, unless he call
On Congress for the means and for the power?
