HISTORY AND REMINISCENCE Jat Amos BAitnETT LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS. From August 21 to September 15, 1858. occurred the memorable series of Joint debates between Stephen A. Doug las and Abraham Lincoln, who were presenting their views of the great slavery question to the people of Il linois, to see whether the people of that state would return Douglas to the Uni ted States senate, or would turn him down for a better man. Douglas was a great favorite in his own state. -An able orator and a man with a splendid record, he won again in his race for the senate. He was then, perhaps, the foremost man in the public eye. Espe cially in the county in which the terri torial capital should be, the pioneers of Nebraska proudly brought the name Douglas to our soil as early as Sep tember, 1S54. Another attempt to give this name to the capital city of Nebras ka territory, as well as to the county where the capital had been, is very in teresting In Its connection with national affairs. In the third session of the territorial assembly many delegates had come from up and down the river, determ- the governor's veto. The most interesting thing In connec tion with the affair Is the fact that ten years afterward, when the success of Douglas in 1S5S had almost been forgot ten In the success of Lincoln as the wise and righteous president, the capitol of our territory was removed far out from the banks of th; Missouri, to a city named Lincoln, near the place where the city hall of Douglas was to have been built. OLD LANCASTER COUNTY. The first Lancaster county was a very different district from the present coun ty of that name. At first the law mak ers for this territory used local names to designate boundaries, instead of township and range and It is very dif ficult to tell. In some instances, where the county limits were Then, too, when one begins to look up such a matter he finds that Lancaster county for example, has a boundary beginning where Cass county stops; and after Cass county is located it is found to make connections with Pierce county, and that again, with Fortney county. The first Pierce county extended about Messrs. S. C Weixs & Co., I Roy, N. Y.: 0ks' Mass- January 1st, 1894.
