Joshua Giddings firming the doctrine
of the Declaration
deadS bOlt. of Independence
which says that all men are created free
and equal The convention voted 1t down
and Giddings walked out. Later George
William Curtis addressed the delegates
and wanted to know if they were willing
to go on record as voting down the best
part of the Declaration of Independence.
The convention reconsidered. adopted
the amendment and pacified Giddings

John Hanks made the popular slogan
of the "Rail-splitter for President" in
the Illinois state convention two years
before when he walked into it carrying
on his shoulder two rails bearing the
legend: from lot made by Abraham
Lincoln and John Hanks in the Sanga-
mon bottom in 1890"
The growth of the abolition sentiment
in the minds of the leaders of the repub-
lican party is illustrated by the fact that
when Lincoln delivered one of his ia
nous pre-convention speeches he was
| careful to say: Wrong as We think
slavery is, We can yet afford to let It
alone where it is. because that much is
due to the necessity arising from its
actual presence in the nation"

The campaign of 1880 was not as noisy
as the one which went before, and there
was not as much feeling in evidence
as there was four
Douglas Rejects years previous. 1t
was marked by an at
"S' tempt on the part Of
the three anti-republican parties to get
together. Bell of the constitutional union
party wanted all three Of the candidates
to withdraw and concentrate on one
man. He authorized Jefferson Davis.
afterward president of the Southern Con-
federacy, to enter upon negotiations
looking to that end. Breckenridge also
expressed to Davis his willingness to
acquiesce in such an arrangement, but
Douglas declared that matters had gone
too far for him to withdraw, since he
believed that withdrawal would mean
that the bulk Of his support would go
to Lincoln. But there had been a time
when Douglas was willing to withdraw.
He sent letter to the Baltimore con-
vention saying that If he stood in the
way of harmony his name should be
removed from consideration. When this
was suppressed he sent a telegram of
the same import to the chairman of the
New York delegation, but this shared
the same fate and Douglas was nomi-
mated. He said on the stump that if he
could have had the unanimous nomina-
ton of his party on its platform of four
years previous Lincoln could have car
ried only Vermont and Massachusetts.
The campaign was characterized by the
first big stories of corruption funds 1t
was asserted that William B. Astor had
given a million dollars to carry New
York against Lincoln and that other big
merchants had duplicated his contribu-
ton, the grounds of the opposition being
secession, and that would cut their busi-
ness in twain.

The presidential contest of 1860 stands
out as the most momentous in American
history. The issues were such that most
sober men realized that civil war was
the inevitable outcome. and there were
some who were willing that 1t should
come early and be over with. When
Alexander H. Stephens, afterward vice
president of the Southern Confederacy,
left the United States Senate. he said he
was leaving Washington. perhaps never
to return. except 1t be as prisoner of
war. He said he regarded war as in
evitable II Lincoln were elected and it
was fairly certain that he would be
after the democrats. split SO hopelessly
at rbara and nass at haltimors
paign that the opposition to Lincoln
could poll enough electoral votes to pre-
vent him from getting a majority and
hope that the election would thus be
thrown into the House. 1t was figured
that in House election the best Lin
coin could do would be to get the votes
of fifteen states. while Breckenridge
could expect twelve states. The other
states would probably go to Douglas
the latter the presidency, or. failing in
that. Lane, the vice presidential candi-
date on the Breckenridge ticket, would
In the meantime be elected Vice Presi-
to the presidency.

But all these calculations proved vain,
for when the returns came in, Lincoln,
although receiving only two-fifths of the
popular vote of
Lincoln CnOSen the country, got
on Minority Vote. itv ' of tho n'a a3or
toral vote There was a fusion of the
anti-Lincoln tickets in Pennsylvania
New York and New Jersey, but even
fusion could not stem the Republican
tide which was to sweep the democracy
out Of power and precipitate history's
Lincoln always felt that he won his
fight for the presidency in his senatorial
canvass with Stephen A Douglas in Illi-
nois, in 1853. Against the continued cd
vice of his friends he persisted in asking
Senator Douglas If territory could deter
mine for itself whether it should be

Senate. That's all right" answered Lin
coin, its bigger game than a senator
ship I'm stalking. If he answers yes he
breaks with his party in the south and
loses the presidency. And the battle of
1860 is going to be worth a hundred of
Lincolns prophecy proved true. The
south was determined to have the right
to take its slaves into any of the terri
tories Of the country, and asserted that
the only time the question could be settled
was when a territory became a state and
the citizens could vote upon the ques-
ton. Douglas went to the democratic ma
