Feeling was running high throughout 79 Lincoln in Illinois the country, for the Missouri Compromise, that law which had long limited slavery to a certain well-defined area, had been repealed. The Ne- braska Act, as the bill which had accomplished this was called, gave the inhabitants of the new territory the right to choose for themselves whether or not slavery should be permitted within its borders.
The author of this dangerous bill we have met b...efore. He is none other than Stephen A. Douglas, fellow legislator with Lincoln at Van- dalia, one of the young men who used to de- bate around Speed's open fire, rival with Lincoln for the favor of Mary Todd. Since those days his ascent in the world has been steady. He has been Secretary of State in Illinois, Judge of the Supreme Court in that State, and he is now in his second term in the United States Senate. How paltry Lincoln's few honors — his single term as Congressman and his four terms as State legislator — look beside these glories.
