Shields, after he had read that speech of Sena- tor Douglas, signified with great earnestness his in- tention of joining the Union Army as a soldier, and to help put down the Rebellion. He was recom- mended to Mr. Lincoln by the Hon. Jas. A. Mac- Dougall, who had previously been Attorney General of the State of Illinois, and was then (1861) in the United States Senate from California, and when Mr. Lincoln intimated his intention to appoint Gen. Shields a Brigadier General of Volunteers in the U...nion Army, 43 Senator IMacDougall said, "I am glad you are will- ing to do this favor for our mutual friend Shields, be- cause I think it will convince Shields that you did not intend to kill him in the duel he challenged you to fight with him years ago, but I do not think it w411 convert Shields or persuade him to be a Republican." To MacDougall's pleasant remarks, Mr. Lincoln re- plied, ''It makes no difference to me what party Gen. Shields may belong to. My only object is to save the Union, and it has frequently occurred to me that I would like to give Shields a chance to have his fight out with some other man than me.
