lawful way, against the wish of any
citizen of the United States, exclude
slavery from its limits prior to the
formation of a state constitution?
Mr. Medill, Mr.. Washburn, Mr.. Judd
and others strenuously argued that Mr..
Douglas would answer that under his
doctrine of popular sovereignty any
territory could by unfriendly legisla-
ton exclude slavery, and Mr.. Douglas
would catch the crowd and beat Mr..
Lincoln as candidate for United States
senator from Illinois.
"Mr Lincoln listened attentively and
with wonderful patience while these
arguments were being urged against
the course he proposed to pursue, but
at last slowly and deliberately replied
in substance (and in his own words. as
nearly as l can now remember them as
follows: We'll, as to changing my style
of argument, 1 will not do that; the
subject is too solemn and important.
That is settled. Now, as to the other
point, 1 do not know how Mr.. Douglas
will answer. If he answers that the
people of a territory cannot exclude
slavery, L will beat him. but if he an
swers as you say he will and as 1 be-
lieve he will he may beat me for sena-
tor, but he will never be president of
the United States According to my
recollection, that closed the discussion
upon these two points. Freeport had
an enormous crowd that day. The peo-
pie had come from all the surrounding
counties, many driving down from Wis

notable reviews of that body were at
Antietam Immediately after the great
battle and on the Rappahannock soon
after Fighting Joe" Hooker assumed
command. Both reviews took place
at crisis in wars fluctuations and
in the temper of the army, and Lin
coins appearance just at the time had
the effect of impressing his personality
as commander in chief upon the minds
of the troops above the immediate gen
eral in command. For a couple of weeks
before the battle of Antietam he would
have been a rash man who would open
ly champion the administrations way
with the army. 1t had been withdrawn
from the James river, Mcclellan had
been deposed, and his successor, an I'M
tried westerner, had led the troops to
disaster which ended in a retreat to the
Notifications of Washington. Then Nc
Clellan had been recalled and ha {
checked the Confederate invasion of
Maryland, driving Lee and Stonewall
jackson across the Potomac. The feel
ing in the camp was that the army had
suffered from too much meddling at the
war department; that Mcclellan, left
to himself, had won brilliant triumph.

down the line, facing the men in their
ragged and battle stained uniforms.
Around and behind him were the gen.

creation from which the army had
sprung. In a day it came and van
ished, that mighty presence which
swayed the destinies of nation and
army alike, and for weeks following
