What is the name of this speech given by Abraham Lincoln?
" [We want,] and must have a national policy in regard [slavery,] which deals with it as being a wrong– Whoever [would prevent] its nationalization, and perpetuity, surrender [that?] when he yields to a policy treating it, either as being right, or as a matter of indifference– We admit that the general government is not charged with the duty of redressing, or preventing, every all wrongs in the world– But it rightfully may, subject to the constitution, redress, and prevent, all wrongs which are such wrongs to the nation itself– It is expressly charged with the duty of providing for the general welfare– We think slavery impairs and endangers the general welfare– Those who do not think think this, are not of us, and we can not argue with them– We must shape our own course, upon our own judgment–
We must not disturb slavery in the states where it exists, because the constitution, and peace of the country, both forbid us– We must allow allow not withold an efficient fugitive slave law, because the constitution requires it–
We must, by a national policy, prevent the spread of slavery into either teritories or free states;3 because the constitution does not forbid us, and the general welfare does require it– We must prevent the revival of the African slave trade, because the constitution does not forbid us, and the general welfare does require it– We must prevent these things being done, by either Congresses or courts– The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts — not to overthrow the constitution, but to overthrow men who pervert it–
[To] effect our main object we have to employ auxil[iary] [means.] We must hold conventions, adopt platforms, select candidates, and carry elections: At every step we must be true to the main purpose– If we adopt a platform, falling short of our principle, or elect a man rejecting our principle, we not only take nothing affirmative by our success, but draw upon us the positive embarrassment of seeming to have ourselves abandoned our principles ourselves–
That our principle, however baffled, or delayed, will finally triumph, I do not permit myself to doubt, Men will pass away — die, politically, and naturally, but the principles will live, and live forever– Organizations, rallied around that principle, may, by their own foll, folly, go to pieces thereby losing all their time and labor– But the principle will remain, and will reproduce another, and another till the final triumph will come. But to bring it soon, to stay when brought, we must save our labor already performed — our organization, which has cost so much time and toil to create– We must keep our principle constantly in view– And, as to men for leaders, we must remember that "he that is not for us is against us– "he that gathereth not with us scattereth[."]4 "
And does this speech happen before he’s president? Because I’m looking for speeches that Lincoln gave during his first presidential campaign. Do you know any other speeches? Can you provide me the link or name please?
Thanks!
I am not sure where it is from, but I found this helpful site. It includes what it is and it gives a date. Let me know if you need more help, or if this is not what you are looking for…

This is to the Lincoln papers at the Library of Congress.
The paragraph beginning "We must not disturb slavery in the states where it exists …" is from his notes of September 16 and 17 1859, preparing for speeches to be made in Ohio and Kansas.
Presumably the speech made in either of those locations, if it was reprinted, was the source for the quotation.
