H. Stephens, and Crittende i. The question will occur to my young readers, What part did Abraham Lincoln take in the national councils ? Was he a cipher, an obscure ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 123 member, simply filling Lis seat and drawing his pay, or did he take an active part in the business of the session ? I will say in answer, that he was by no means a cipher. Though he did not aspire to be a leader — for in a new member that would have been in bad taste — he was always ready to take part when he fe...lt called upon to do so, and his vote and words were such as he would not in after years have felt it necessary to recall or apologize for. It is interesting to know that he arrayed him- self with Mr. Giddings in favor of abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia. Mr. Gid- dings little suspected that the plain member from Illinois, whose co-operation he had secured, was to be the instrument under Providence of abolishing slavery, not only in the District of Columbia, but throughout the land.
