He is dead; but the cause he so ardently loved, so ably, patiently, faithfully represented and defended—not for himself only, not for us only, but for all people in all their coming generations, till time shall be no more—that cause survives his fall, and will survive it. Lincoln faithfully and patiently worked on a cause. The cause that Lincoln fought for will survive. People will continue to remember Lincoln for generations. Lincoln will be remembered for his wisdom and patriotism.
