him why he did not take particular
course. lie had not voted for IL Democrat
lc nominee since he came to the House.
and would not, except un issue is made
between the Republicans and Democrats.
lie hoped such an issue would never mr.
rive. lie did not desire united South
nor IL united North. He belonged to n

united North. If we go for the united
South, what would be the result? We
would be overwhelmed by the North,
which the next census would show, have

question of dollars and cents, where
would be the Southern interests?
