THE LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATES

AMERICAN POLITICALP ARTIES
BT HON. JESSE MACT. "
XV.
The period of the Kansas controversy
rare rise to events full of serious portent
for the Democratic party and. therefore,
lor the Union. One by one the bonds be
tween the slave and the free sections had
snapped under the Increasing strain. The
ties of race and language and kindred,
the common Interest In church organi
zations and business enterprises, and the
common love of country were gone, and
political attachments, too, were giving
way. There was no longer an American
party or a Whig party uniting North and
Bouth; the new Republican party was In
evitably a structly sectional party, and the
South regarded It with pronounced en
rnlty. Only the Democratic party re
jnalned, and Democrats who loved the
Union saw with foreboding threatening
real manliness and courage and honesty
by boldly opposing the plot
The administration wing of the party
was enraged at the defection of their
ablest leader. All the power of govern
ment patronage was enlisted against him,
but as time passed it appeared that In
spite of all Douglas was gathering to
himself the real strength of the party,
both North and South. His popular-sovereignty
doctrine was truly popular and
drew to his side many Republicans even.
A stormy Congressional debate lasting
for two months Anally resulted In tn
passage of the Irecompton measure, but
the bill contained provisos which re
quired another popular vote In Kansas,
and the vote was again overwhelmingly
against It.
The Llncoln-Donfflaa Debates.
It was Illinois politics which determined
the course of National politics at this
critical juncture. The legislature elected
there In 1S58 would choose a United
States Senator. The Democratic conven
tion the Party.
The struggle which followed the passage
of the Kansas-Nebraska bill had tended
&11 along to strengthen the hold of the
signs of disruption there,
Effects of tle Dred Scott Decision i tlon ren0minated Douglas, whOBe course
upon the Lecompton matter was enthusl
astlcally approved and had made him
more than ever the idol of his party in
his own state. Some of the Republican
already at the Nation? s lips. "It presses
on the Irrepressible conflict," wrote
Greeley.
The Resolutions of Jefferson Davis
The approaching Presidential election
was now the absorbing topic of thought
throughout the country. The danger of a
dissolution of the Union was seen to be
imminent. A feeling of uneasiness per
vaded the land. Commercial interests took
alarm. The North, and especially the
West, had suffered severely in the panic
of 1S57, whose effects had "hardly reached
the South. If war between the section
were to follow, or even the loss of the
Southern trade, ruin to vast numbers was
inevitable. "Union-saving" meetings were
held In many Northern cities, which
voiced the general anxiety. The peo
plo called upon their leaders, and
particularly upon those known to be
aspirants for the Presidency, to
state their positions. Seward. Lincoln,
Douglas and Jefferson Davis responded.
The Republican chiefs maintained the lof
ty ground of moral principle which they
had previously taken, and the people of
the North gathered by their side with a
growing solemnity and earnestness of pur
pose rare in political controversy. But
the pregnant, significant fact was that
made clear by the utterances of the Dem
ocratic leaders. The great party was
hopelessly divided; the last strand of
nationality was parting; disunion was In
evitable. Douglas delivered a speech In the Sen
ate January 12, I860, In which he avowed
himself determined to yield no Jot of prin
ciple or position, to make no concessions
for the sake of the nomination which he
did not seek, though willing to receive
it.
Jefferson Davis of Mississippi was the
ablest of the pro-slavery leaders, and to
him all eyes turned. Would the Southern
Democrats take any backward steps?
On February 2 Davis brought forward In
the Senate a series of resolutions setting
forth the claims of that wing of the party
which he represented. They were in ef
fect the ultimatum of the Southern Dem
ocrats to the nominating convention soon
to meet. The fourth of these resolutions
was a significant one. It averred that no
constitutional power belonged to Con
gress or to any territorial Legislature to
impair the right to hold slaves in the ter
ritories, and that the Federal Govern
ment was In duty bound to afford to
slaves in Federal territories the same
protection as was due to other property.
Thus the two factions of the Democratic
party defied each other. The Davis reso
lutions were debated for three months
and then passed.

party, and the Dred Scott decision com- !
pleted the triumph of that faction. There
had been under Pierce a growing ascend
ency of pro-slavery leaders, while Bu
shanan's weak will and yielding character
were soon entirely dominated by them.
The political Importance of the Dred
Scott decision lay, as we have seen, In the
extra-Judicial announcement of Chief
Justice Taney and the majority of the
Supreme Court that the Missouri com
promise was void, because Congress had
no constitutional power to legislate
against the Interests of the owners of
slaves any more than against those of
owners of other forms of property. Slave
owners, therefore, had the right to carry
their slaves wherever they chose upon
Federal territory without Jeopardy to
their ownership. Douglas stood loyally
by the decision. To other minds the argu
ment of the Chief Justice seemed to
knock the foundations from under his
popular sovereignty doctrine; but he
Btrove with skill and plausibility to har
monize the opposing views and carried
with him the Northern Democrats. These
found themselves, like the Democrats of
the South, first deprecating the apologiz
ing for slavery: then condoning, and fin
ally admiring and advocating it as a boon
and a blessing to the African race, and
the Ideal condition of the negro. So the
great party stood committed, temporarily,
as a matter of partisan policy to the sup
port of slavery; and by the decision of the
court the political Issue between the par
ties was clearly defined. The Democrats
henceforth upheld the view that the terri
tories were the common possession of the
whole nation, purchased at the cost
of Southern as well as Northern sacrifice,
end 'that all property rights were equally
eaered there. From this vantage ground
Southerners were able ere long, as we
shall see. to take one short step further
it

leaders also urged that no opposition
should be made to his return to' the Sen
ate. This was Greeley's view. But Doug
las could not command the full confidence
of the Republicans; he had been too lately
an aggressive enemy. Had Greeley's ad
vice been followed, had the Illinois Re
publicans rallied heartily to the support
of Douglas, he would no doubt have be
come President In 1SG0, and It Is an In
teresting speculation just how that would
have altered the sequence of events.
Abraham Lincoln became the Republi
can candidate to contest Senatorial hon
ors with Douglas, and then occurred the
great debate up and down the state which
made the campaign forever memorable.
Local questions played no part In the
discussion. It was the mighty question
which was splitting the Nation in two
which was debated In all Its aspects by
the rival statesmen, while their audience
was the whole people. Lincoln placed the
Issue before the people upon high moral
grounds. He told them that a house di
vided against Itself could not stand;
that the Nation could not continue to
exist half slave and half free. He ex
posed the sophistry In the popular-sovereignty
theory of Douglas, while he also
riddled the argument of the Dred Scott
decision.
Douglas was the successful candidate,
' but Lincoln, as he said, was "after larger
game." What was the election of '58 to
that of '00? Lincoln's eye was upon the
lartrer field of battle.
The debates, while they made Lincoln
known to the whole country, greatly
strengthened the Republican party and
clarified the views of the various elements
composing It. They were thus of vast Im
portance In party history.
The John Brown Raid.
John Brown was a religious fanatic who
I had solemnly dedicated his life to the de
struction of slaveo He had fought In
Kansas for free soil, had undertaken by
force to free the Missouri slaves, and
came In 1S50 with a few followers to Har
per's Ferry, "Va., to carry out a long
cherished plan for liberating the slaves of
Virginia. But the plot failed, the negroes
did not rise at his bidding. Brown and
six of his associates were tried and exe
cuted as criminals.
Coming, as this event did, In the midst
of the already extreme tension of feeling
respecting slavery. It roused a perfect
frenzy of Indignation and resentment In
tho South, and a most profound regret in
the North, coupled with a measure of
sympathy for tho misguided haters of
slavery and admiration for the heroism
with which they met their tragic fate.
But the occurrence probably did not
alter the course of history. The Repub
lican majorities In the Autumn elections
were, perhaps, slightly less; but they
were still majorities. The bitterness of
sectional feeling was for the time Inten
sified, but no drop of gall was needed In
the cup of the wine of wrath which was
