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
