As you might guess, I have a lot more respect for Stephen Douglas than I do for either Lincoln or Breckenridge.

That does come out, yes. Well, let me leave you with my favorite quote about Douglas. It comes from Salmon P. Chase, a man not noted for his sense of humor. "Douglas," Chase said, "No man will be president who spells 'negro' with two g's." He was right.
