The only harm that could possibly come to the South from that direction would be by their own withdrawal. Douglas, like most Northerners, how- ever, made the mistake of thinking that the threat was a mere bluff. He thought it would "likely subside when reason gets the better of insane passion". The Bepub- lican press everywhere applauded the "Little Giant". The position, at this time, of Dennis A. Mahoney, who may be counted with the pro-slavery Democrats, is sig- nificant in view of his known ...tendencies and later course. He thought that the threat to dissolve the Union on ac- count of Lincoln's election produced little effect, and re- garded his election as harmless, since his party was a minority in Congress. 153 Later, while he regarded the election of Lincoln as no just pretext on the part of the South for secession, he also accepted the New York Her- ald's prophecy that secession would follow, and that the only remedy was to remove the existing causes in the North. 154 His paper became more and more openly sym- pathetic with secession.
