Douglas. you remember. had been

an ambition to be president, Douglas
was fighting ”)0 fight of his life for

He was in a position of Immense dell-

which the hostility to the extension
of slavery in the territories hutl ul-

stituency which he hoped would make
him president was that sluveholding
aristocracy of the South, which had
succeeded in nbrogullng the Missouri
Compromise that it might reach out
and make slnvc states of the North-
west,

Douglas had stood upon the middle
ground of squatter sovereignty by
which he meant the right of curb ter-
ritory to decide for itself the question
of whethe1 it should come into the
Union as a slnve stills of a flee state.
But the Drcd Scott decision. promul

squatter sovereignty idea and loft
Douglas standing amid a somewhat
chaotic mess of shattered political
theories and tenets. This was the con

Let us look at Lincoln once more
in u brief and ctnphutic contest with
one of the grout. minds of the North.

In no proper sense had Lincoln ever

been an abolitionist. The greet Issue
in which he had been elected with
that of the extension of slavery In the
«territories. Between the time of his
election and his Inauguration. history
had been milking so rapidly that that
question was lost sight of In the lur-
ger queutions of the Integrity of the
Union and coercion of sovereign states.
But. throughout the North there were
well intentlonod men. who could not

see as clearly on we now see It lhut~

from the slundpoint of the Ohle'f lilx
ecutlve. all other questions were sum-
ordinste to the great duty of preserv-
Iug the Union of the states. Among
them was Horace Greeley in all the
