The presi dential campaign of 1860 saw the Demo cratic party broken into two parts, opening the way for the election of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. During the four years following Buchanan's victory over Fremont the party was drifting toward the irrepressible conflict and thr politicians were pulled witn tne tide. Dred Scott Decision The Democrats controlled the federal government from the supreme court down, as was proved when the Dred Scott decision granted the slave power everything it wanted.

Five members of the court were southern Democrats the north refused to accept the ec ision. It was charged that the court 2ad "followed tne election returns." Lincoln attacked the decision in pub lie speech and northern senators, on Chief Justice Roger Taney's subsequent fleam, mocked tne mil wnicn would have put his bust in the supreme court room as had been done for all chief Justices before him. Jefferson Davis was at his time leading the south's hope less ngnt against nortnern supremacy in Congress. The two greatest figures in the national politics, however, were Stephen A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln of Illinois.

Lincoln, who had tried to get a lame duck appointment to the Gen eral Land Office after he realized he couldn't be re elected to Congress some years before, was brought out by the Illinois Republicans because they needed a man to Deat uougias. rne Democratic national ticket had car 'ried Illinois in 1858 solely because of the Douglas campaign for it and tne Republicans hoped to upset him by defeating him for re election to the Senate In. 1858 a terrific task. Douglas had regained much of his northern popularity by his fight for a free Kansas, and the South blamed him for its defeat on the issue. A shrewd politican, he apparently hoped to conciliate anti slavery Illlnoisans in time for the senatorial election and then to square himself with the South before time came to nominate the Democratic candidate in 1860.

With the Buchanan administration pow bitterly opposed to him and with A strong Republican front at home, Douglas was in a bad way. But he was a master of logid, resourceful, audacious and an almost unconquer able debater. Only Lincoln, calm, Knit tex Is Three Goats In One "A House The Lincoln Douglas debate at It was during the course of these divided against itself cannot stand." ballots, but Douglas never came within 50 votes of the required 202. On the last ballot he had 151 to the second man's 65. On the tenth' day of its session the convention adjourned to Baltimore to try all over again.
