What does this mean?

" I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. "

    Its saying slavery is wrong and anybody who does not think its wrong think anything else anybody do is wrong. So it saying like if you dont think slavery wrong then killing somebody is not wrong. Its saying its going by the constitution and sticking to the law that all man are created equal. So all this saying whoever wrote this want to get the power and change the oath.
