""Wenn Widerstand gegen die Macht der Sklavenhalter die maßvolle Losung Ihrer ersten Wahl war, so ist Tod der Sklaverei! der triumphierende Schlachtruf Ihrer Wiederwahl. […] Die Arbeiter Europas […] betrachten es als ein Wahrzeichen der kommenden Epoche, daß Abraham Lincoln, dem starksinnigen, eisernen Sohn der Arbeiterklasse, das Los zugefallen ist, sein Vaterland durch den beispiellosen Kampf für die Erlösung einer geknechteten Race und für die Umgestaltung der sozialen Welt hindurchzuführen."
