These debates are perhaps the most consequential of American election campaigning and its political arguments. The political debates between the Honorable Abraham Lincoln and the Honorable Stephen A. Douglas in the celebrated campaign of 1858 in Illinois were carefully recorded by the reporters of each party at the times of their delivery and originally published in 1860 by Follett & Foster. Included are the preceding speeches of each candidate at Chicago, Springfield, etc., as well as the two great speeches of Mr. Lincoln in Ohio in 1859.
