It divided the whole American nation into four opposing political parties in the summer of 1860; the Northern Democracy under the lead of the "Little Giant, " Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois; the Southern Democracy under the lead of John C. Breckenridge of Kentucky; the Con- stitutional Union party under the lead of John Bell of Tennessee; and the Republican party under the lead of Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. The Republicans demanded the extinction of slavery in the states, and the prohibition ...of it in the terri- tories, at once, by congressional legislation and amendment of the Constitution, resisting the execution of the fugitive slave law. The Constitutional Union party, evading the issues of the hour, tried to mediate the opposing elements by plati- tudes, jjowerless to impress earnc^st souls, or win for itself the respect of courageous men. The Southern Democrats insist- ed on slaveiy as national, or else secession from the Union. They recjuired a strict fulfilhnent, by the North, of the con- stitutional guarantee regarding the right of the master to the rendition of his slave, or else the enjoyment of the reserved right to go out of the Union, plighted faith being no longer respected.
