Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorial Addresses, on Several Occasions: Delivered in the Senate of the United States
I first met Mr. Douglas soon after he had taken his seat in this body, in whose debates and deliberations he had al ready begun to hold a leading part, and with whose history his name has since been so iclosely identified. The frank cordiality of his manners, the unaffected kindness of his heart, the directness of his Speech, and the readiness with which he declared himself upon all the questions of the day, made upon me that favorable impression which a more inti mate acquaintance strengthened and confirmed.
It is not my purpose to follow his public career, or to en large upon the qualities of his character; that grateful office has already been performed. But I have often thought that in his indomitable energy and will, in his sturdy self-reliance.
