Dramatic irony is a stylistic device that is most commonly used by storytellers, in plays, in the theater, and in movies. The irony is used as a plot device to create situations where the reader knows much more about the episodes and the resolutions before the chief character or characters.
Examples are:
In Merchant of Venice, the reader is aware that Lancelot is cheating his father openly; in Tempest, Prospero and the reader are aware of the presence of Gonzalo on the Island but Miranda does not.
In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo finds Juliet in deep and drugged slumber, assumes her dead, and kills himself ignorantly before Juliet wakes up, discovers her dead lover, and kills herself.

Answer:
the meaning of this paragraph was Lincoln saying he will fight for whats right without taking advantage of his power and loosing his oath he made. The path he made was to uphold the constitution. Make sure the United States is safe but whats constitutional about slavery? what he's trying to say in this speech is that as much as people would like to say slavery is American its not its anything but American because the constitution has no where in there that slavery is ok. We have amendments and rights but we are not giving them to everyone and going by what our founding fathers taught us "all men are created equal". whats equal about slavery.
