Benjamin say3: •• In that contest, the two candidates for tho Senate of the Umted States, in the State of Illinois, went before their peo- ple. They agreed to discuss the issues ; they put questions to each oilier for answer ; and I must say here, for I must be just to all, that I have been surprised in tho examination that I made again within tbe last tew days of this discussion between Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas, to find that Mi . Lin- coln is a far nioro conservative man, unless he has sinc...o changed hia opinions, than I had supposed him to be. There was no dodging on his part. Mr. Douglas started with his questions. Here they are, with Mr. Lincoln's answers : ' ; Question 1. I desire to know whether Lincoln to-day Stands, as be did in 1854, in favor of the unconditional re- peal of the fugitive slave law? "Answer. I do not now, nor ever did, stand in favor of Uie unconditional repeal ol the fugitive slave law. " Question 2. I desire lum to answer whether he stands pledged to-day, as he did in 1854, against the admission of any more slave States into the Union, even if tho people r/ant them ?
