Four Great Americans: Washington, Franklin, Webster, Lincoln. A Book for Young Americans by James Baldwin, THE STORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. XIII.—LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS.

THE STORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. XIII.—LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS.

It was then that Abraham Lincoln came forward as the champion of freedom.

Stephen A. Douglas was a candidate for reelection to the Senate, and he found it necessary to defend himself before the people of his state for the part he had taken in repealing the Missouri Compromise. He went from one city to another, making speeches; and at each place Abraham Lincoln met him in joint debate.

"I do not care whether slavery is voted into or out of the territories," said Mr. Douglas. "The question of slavery is one of climate. Wherever it is to the interest of the inhabitants of a territory to have slave property, there a slave law will be enacted." But Mr. Lincoln replied, "The men who signed the Declaration of Independence said that all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…. I beseech you, do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence." At last, Mr. Douglas felt that he was beaten. He proposed that both should go home, and that there should be no more joint discussions. Mr. Lincoln agreed to this; but the words which he had spoken sank deep into the hearts of those who heard them.

The speeches of Lincoln and Douglas were printed in a book. People in all parts of the country read them. They had heard much about Stephen A. Douglas. He was called "The Little Giant." He had long been famous among the politicians of the country. It was believed that he would be the next President of the United States.

But who was this man Lincoln, who had so bravely vanquished the Little Giant? He was called "Honest Abe." There were few people outside of his state who had ever heard of him before.

Mr. Douglas returned to his seat in the United States Senate. Mr. Lincoln became the acknowledged edged leader of the forces opposed to the extension of slavery.

In May, 1856, a convention of the people of Illinois was held in Bloomington, Illinois. It met for the purpose of forming a new political party, the chief object and aim of which should be to oppose the extension of slavery into the territories.

Mr. Lincoln made a speech to the members of this convention. It was one of the greatest speeches ever heard in this country. "Again and again, during the delivery, the audience sprang to their feet, and, by long-continued cheers, expressed how deeply the speaker had roused them." And so the new party was organized. It was composed of the men who had formed the old Free Soil Party, together with such Whigs and Democrats as were opposed to the further growth of the slave power. But the greater number of its members were Whigs. This new party was called The Republican Party.

In June, the Republican Party held a national convention at Philadelphia, and nominated John C. Frémont for President. But the party was not strong enough to carry the election that year.

In that same month the Democrats held a convention at Cincinnati. Every effort was made to nominate Stephen A. Douglas for President. But he was beaten in his own party, on account of the action which he had taken in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise.

James Buchanan was nominated in his stead, and, in November, was elected.

And so the conflict went on.

In the year 1858 there was another series of joint debates between Lincoln and Douglas. Both were candidates for the United States Senate. Their speeches were among the most remarkable ever delivered in any country.

Lincoln spoke for liberty and justice. Douglas's speeches were full of fire and patriotism. He hoped to be elected President in 1860. In the end, it was generally acknowledged that Lincoln had made the best arguments. But Douglas was re-elected to the Senate.

Bir şehirden diğerine giderek konuşmalar yaptı; ve her yerde Abraham Lincoln onunla ortak tartışmada buluştu. 他从一个城市到另一个城市发表演讲；亚伯拉罕·林肯在每个地方都会与他会面并进行共同辩论。

"I do not care whether slavery is voted into or out of the territories," said Mr. Douglas. Bay Douglas, "Köleliğin bölgelere girmesi ya da çıkması umurumda değil," dedi. “我不在乎奴隶制是否被选入或选出这些领土，”道格拉斯先生说。 "The question of slavery is one of climate. "Kölelik meselesi iklimle ilgili bir meseledir. “奴隶制问题是气候问题之一。 Wherever it is to the interest of the inhabitants of a territory to have slave property, there a slave law will be enacted." Nerede bir bölgede yaşayanların köle mülkiyetine sahip olması çıkarlarına uygunsa, orada bir köle yasası çıkarılacaktır." 只要拥有奴隶财产符合该领土居民的利益，那里就会颁布奴隶法。” But Mr. Lincoln replied, "The men who signed the Declaration of Independence said that all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…. Ancak Bay Lincoln şu cevabı verdi: "Bağımsızlık Bildirgesini imzalayanlar, tüm insanların eşit yaratıldığını ve Yaratıcıları tarafından bazı devredilemez haklarla donatıldığını söylediler - yaşam, özgürlük ve mutluluk arayışı.... 但林肯先生回答道：“签署《独立宣言》的人说，人人生而平等，造物主赋予他们某些不可剥夺的权利——生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利……” I beseech you, do not destroy that immortal emblem of humanity, the Declaration of Independence." Size yalvarıyorum, insanlığın o ölümsüz simgesi olan Bağımsızlık Bildirgesini yok etmeyin." 我恳求你们，不要毁掉人类不朽的象征——《独立宣言》。” At last, Mr. Douglas felt that he was beaten. Sonunda Bay Douglas yenildiğini hissetti. 最后，道格拉斯先生觉得自己被打败了。 He proposed that both should go home, and that there should be no more joint discussions. Her ikisinin de evlerine gitmesini ve bir daha ortak görüşme yapılmamasını önerdi. 他建议两人都回家，不要再共同讨论。 Mr. Lincoln agreed to this; but the words which he had spoken sank deep into the hearts of those who heard them. Bay Lincoln bunu kabul etti; ancak söylediği sözler, onları duyanların kalplerinin derinliklerine işledi. 林肯先生同意了这一点。但他所说的话却深深地印在了听者的心里。

The speeches of Lincoln and Douglas were printed in a book. Lincoln ve Douglas'ın konuşmaları bir kitap halinde basıldı. People in all parts of the country read them.

Ona "Dürüst Abe" denirdi. There were few people outside of his state who had ever heard of him before. Kendi eyaleti dışında onu daha önce duymuş olan çok az insan vardı. 在他所在的州以外，很少有人听说过他。

Mr. Douglas returned to his seat in the United States Senate. Bay Douglas Birleşik Devletler Senatosu'ndaki koltuğuna geri döndü. 道格拉斯先生回到了美国参议院的席位。 Mr. Lincoln became the acknowledged edged leader of the forces opposed to the extension of slavery.

Ve böylece yeni parti örgütlendi. It was composed of the men who had formed the old Free Soil Party, together with such Whigs and Democrats as were opposed to the further growth of the slave power. Bu parti, eski Özgür Toprak Partisi'ni kuranlarla birlikte köleci gücün daha da büyümesine karşı çıkan Whig ve Demokratlardan oluşuyordu. 它由旧自由土地党的成员以及反对奴隶制势力进一步发展的辉格党人和民主党人组成。 But the greater number of its members were Whigs.
