Friends, no one who has never been placed in a like position
can understand my feelings at this hour, nor the
oppressive sadness I feel at this parting.
For more than a quarter of a century I have lived among
you, and during all that time I have received nothing but
kindness at your hands, here I have lived from my youth
until now I'm an old man. Here the most sacred ties of
earth were assumed, here all my children were born; and
here one of them lies buried.
To you, dear friends, I owe all that I have, all that I am.
All the strange, checkered past seems to crowd now upon
my mind. Today I leave you; I go to assume a task more
difficult than that which devolved upon
General Washington.
Unless the great God, who assisted him, shall be with and
kid me, I must fail. But if the omniscient mind and the same
almighty arm that directed and protected him, shall guide
and support me, I shall not fail -- I shall succeed. Let us all
pray that the God of our fathers may not forsake us now
to him I commend you all. Permit me to ask that with
equal sincerity and faith, you all will invoke his wisdom
and guidance for me.
With these few words I must leave you.
For how long I know not.
Friends, one and all, I must now bid you an
affectionate farewell.
Farewell address at Springfield, Illinois, February 11, 1861.
