One day during this cXaSpcrating

not Il corner in the entire Union too re
mote or too obscure to share it. For
the first time in his political career Mr..
Lincoln burned his bridges and COM
mittcd himself mrcScrvcdly to the
cause whose mighticSt champion he
had become The fears of his friends
and the denunciationS of his enemies
We're equally poWcrlcSS to deter him.
Mr. Douglas was reelected, but his
victory was but the prcsag" of coming
defeat for the cause which he had ad-
vocatcd so nobly. AS it WAS, he could
not have been returned to the senate
if his opponents penetrating inSiStcnCe
had not compelled him publicly to
qualify his proSlavery uttcranccS and
attach a proviso to his political creed.
That was indeed n critical moment in
the talented Douglas political career
that summer afternoon in the little
prairie city of Frccport when the great
emancipation, his gaunt form erect and
his lon. fOrctinGer extended with per-
emptOry ca%crncSS, demanded of the
now hcSitating Democratic candidate,
rs there any lawful way by which the
people of Il territory, against III" wish
OF any citizen of the United States,
may exclude slavery from its limit pri-
or to the formation of Il state COnStitu-
tion?' Here at last was the supreme
dilemma. Upon the categorical yea"
or may" which he must utter hung the
fate of Douglas political future. His
feeble yea" sent him to the senate,
but cost him the support of the south
and made his position in the north I'M
tenable
This final debate, followed by

which he COntended that slavery was
Incompatible with Il republican form

Republican nomination for the presi-
dcncy in 1860. His election ana the
outbreak of the civil war We're practi-
cally coincident. In his inaugural adj
dress he showed the country that he
was not the radical fanatic which in
imical c-clection oratory had de-
clarcd him to be. lie had much to say
concerning secession. but nothing about
slavery. He chose Il safe middle course
and persisted III 1t until time ana the
progress of events should provide him
with the opportunity for which his
freedom loving soul longed so ardcntly.
With almost preternatural foresight he
knew that the time was not far distant
when that which he so greatly desired
TO accomplish could be brought about

ular; he bded his time.
He made no secret of his ultimate in
tentiOn to act. He did not hesitate; he
was waiting. All the united radical
element of his party cried out at his
delay. He sat at his desk ana wrote
and rewrOte the magic formula. Final
ly when he saw that it was ready to
play its part in the preservation of the
Union he launched the emancipation
proclamation.
