ction among the religious press for its views on slavery. The editorial board consisted of Joseph P. Thompson, D. D., Leonard Bacon, D. D., and Richard S. Storrs, D. D. Henry Ward Beecher was the most prominent contributor. In the course of the summer Dr. Bacon, addressing an Evangelical Association, professed his antipathy to political preaching. For example, he did not believe in introducing the name of the President of the United States into the pulpit, or the name of the Senator from Illinois [Douglas]. (Laughter.) He rarely spoke of the Devil in the pulpit (laughter), and never of Mr. Garrison. (Great laughter.) Dr. Bacon, commented the target of this clerical facetiousness, is diabolically amiable and considerate towards us (Lib. 26: 118). . . . What are the facts respecting Kansas? Briefly these: Squatter Sovereignty has turned out to be repeated invasions of the Territory by armed bandits from Missouri, who have successfully made it a conquered province, manufacture

Scott had been the slave of an army surgeon, who took Lib. 26.207; 27.45; 28.49. him to a military station in Illinois for two years, and thence to Fort Snelling in Nebraska (now Minnesota), where he was married to the slave woman of another officer. The sojourn in Illinois (being voluntary on the master's part) would have freed him, as this State was embraced Illinois (being voluntary on the master's part) would have freed him, as this State was embraced in the Northwest Ordinance. The Territory of Nebraska was in the tract covered by the Missouri Compromise, prohibiting slavery north of 36° 30′. Scott and his wife were sold to a common owner, and returned voluntarily—or at least without resistance—to Missouri, where the husband brought suit for their freedom. The State court denied the suit, in default of evidence that their owners meant to manumit them by taking them on to free soil. Appeal was then made to the Federal Supreme Court, a body

ral. At the West, in June, Abraham Lincoln had embodied the same truth in the less immediately famous sentence, already quoted, depicting the house divided against itself, Ante, p. 420. and prophesying that it would ultimately become wholly one thing or the other. His successful rival for the United States Senate, Stephen A. Douglas, repudiated Lib. 28.193. the dictum alike of the statesman unanimously predesignated as the Republican candidate for President in 1860, and of the obscure Illinois politician who was in reality to stand and to be elected. The logic of Lincoln, he said Wilson's Rise and Fall of the Slave Power, 2.572, 573. on July 9, meant a war of extermination directed against the South. Something more than philosophical reflections on the tendency of the Union was needed if the role of the North in the great change in prospect was to be anything more than passive. When Freedom could inspire the same jealousy, devotion, and unity—the same passion— as Slavery, t

In the vote for candidates, to the infinite surprise of the Eastern States, to the grief even of many abolitionists, the prize of leadership was denied to William H. Seward and given to Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. On the 18th of June, the dismembered Democratic Lib. 30.102. Convention, attended and watched, without participation, by the cotton-State delegates, met at Baltimore and nominated Stephen A. Douglas for President. A secession followed, andfrom the adjoining States of Maryland and Virginia, and from the whole seaboard. Singling out this provision, Mr. Phillips published in the Liberator of June Lib. 30.99. 22, 1860, a stinging article, headed, Abraham Lincoln, the Slave-hound of Illinois, and beginning: We gibbet a Northern hound to-day, side by side with the infamous Mason of Virginia. Mr. Garrison very reluctantly J. M. Mason. admitted both the caption and the text (of the justice of which he had no means of forming an opini
