The gay holiday atmosphere of the canvass makes it stand out as one of the most picturesque of presidential elections; the prevailing enthusiasm duplicated that of the Lincoln-Douglas contest of 1858 with the situation reversed in Lincoln's favor. This time he had the advantage of being identified with the typical western spirit.

Douglas, " was the eloquent motto on many a Lincoln banner. 41 Was he not too the representative of the party that stood for opening up the lands of the west to free settlement by the pioneer?
