link them through themes explored and techniques used in conveying these themes. also context, consider the initial reading in their time in comparison to the response now

I think the advice here is good. :)
Don't try to link the speeches too closely - they are quite different. Perhaps link them by CONTRAST.

However I have an idea which might work....
both speeches are about a country on the threshhold of something important and a recognition of great suffering.
Lincoln's speech is about nation building, it's representing a notion of unity through diversity. It's hopeful and simple.
Pearson's speech is longwinded, academic, antagonistic at times. It is condemning rather than providing an emotional way to move forward and rally support.

Then do the stuff that has to be there - context, values etc
