Following the practice of the Publication Committee in previous years, this volume includes, besides the official proceedings and the papers read at the last annual meeting, some essays and other matter contributed during the year. It is hoped that these "contributions to State History" may, in larger measure as the years go on, deserve their title, and form an increasingly valuable part of the Society's transac- tions. The contributions are intended to include the following kinds of material 1. Hitherto unpublished letters and- other documentary material. This part of the volume should supplement the more formal and exten- sive publication of official records in the Illinois historical collections, which are published by the trustees of the State Historical Library. 2. Papers of a reminiscent character. These should be selected with great care; for memories and reminiscences are at their best an uncertain basis for historical knowledge. 3. Historical essays or brief monographs, based upon the sources and containing genuine contributions to knowledge. Such papers should be accompanied by foot-notes indicating with precision the authorities upon which the papers are based. The use of new and original material and the care with which the authorities are cited, will be one of the main factors in determining the selection of papers for publication. 4. Bibliographies. 5. Occasional reprints of books, pamphlets, or parts of books now out of print and not easily accessible. Circular letters have been sent out from time to time urging the members of the Society to contribute such historical material, and appeals for it have been issued in the pages of the Journal. The com- mittee desires to repeat and emphasize these requests. It is the desire of the committee that this annual publication of the Society shall supplement, rather than parallel or rival, the distinctly official publications of the State Historical Library. In historical research, as in so many other fields, the best results are likely to be achieved through the co-operation of private initiative with public authority. It was to promote such co-operation and mutual undertaking that this Society was organized. Teachers of history, whether in schools or colleges, are especially urged to do their part in bringing to this publication the best results of local research and historical scholarship. In conclusion it should be said that the views expressed in the various papers are those of their respective authors and not necessarily those of the committee. Nevertheless, the committee will be glad to receive such corrections of fact or such general criticism as may appear to be deserved.

    Chapter Eight “A Strong but Judicious Enemy to Slavery”: Congressman Lincoln (1847-1849) Lincoln’s entire public service on the national level before his election as president was a single term in the U. S. House. Though he had little chance to distinguish himself there, his experience proved a useful education in dealing with Congress and patronage. WASHINGTON, D.C. Arriving in Washington on December 2, 1847, the Lincolns found themselves in a “dark, narrow, unsightly” train depot, a building “literally buried in and surrounded with mud and filth of the most offensive kind.”1 A British traveler said he could scarcely imagine a “more miserable station.”2 Emerging from this “mere shed, of slight construction, designed for temporary use” which was considered “a disgrace” to the railroad company as well as “the city that tolerates it,”3 they beheld an “an ill-contrived, 1 Saturday Evening News (Washington), 14 August 1847. 2 Alexander MacKay, The Western World, or, Travels in the United States in 1846-47 (3 vols.; London: Richard Bentley, 1850), 1:162. 3 Letter by “Mercer,” n.d., Washington National Intelligencer, 16 November 1846. The author of this letter thought that the station was “in every respect bad: it is cramped in space, unsightly in appearance, inconvenient in its position, and ill adapted to minister to the comfort of travellers in the entire character of its arrangements.” Cf. Wilhelmus Bogart Bryan, A History of the National Capital from Its Foundation through the Period of the Adoption of the Organic Act (2 vols.; New York: Macmillan, 1914-16), 2:357.

    Building the Illinois Republican Party (1855-1857) “You Enquire W

    Chapter Eleven “Unite with Us, and Help Us to Triumph”: Building the Illinois Republican Party (1855-1857) “You enquire where I now stand,” Lincoln wrote to Joshua Speed in the summer of 1855. “This is a disputed point. I think I am a Whig; but others say there are no whigs, and that I am an abolitionist.” That was not the case, he averred, for “I now do no more than oppose the extension of slavery.”1 To unite all who shared his goal became Lincoln’s main objective. As he helped build a new antislavery party to replace the defunct Whig organization, he little imagined that he would soon become its standard bearer.2 In this endeavor, he displayed the statesmanlike qualities that would characterize his presidency: eloquence, shrewdness, industry, patience, selflessness, tact, commitment to principle, willingness to shoulder responsibility, and a preternatural sense of timing.3 Hostility to the South in general, not just to slavery, helped swell the Republican ranks.4 Lincoln, however, did not appeal to sectional prejudice but focused on the evils of the peculiar institution. 1 Lincoln to Joshua Speed, Springfield, 24 August 1855, Roy P. Basler et al., eds., The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln (8 vols. plus index; New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 1953-55), 2:322-23. 2 In 1855, Lincoln, like other Whigs, bemoaned the death of his party, which had been disintegrating for three years.

    CAPITOL COMPLEX the Michael J

    CAPITOL COMPLEX The Michael J. Howlett Building is south of the Capitol. Formerly the Cen- tennial Building, it was erected to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Illi- nois’ admission to the Union as the 21st state. The cornerstone of the $3 million building was laid in 1918, and the building was completed in 1923. Additions in 1928 and 1966 converted the original rectangular structure into a square build- ing while retaining the original classic architectural design. Several departments of the Secretary of State’s office are located in the building, and historic flags carried by Illinois regiments during the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World War I are preserved carefully in display cases in Memorial Hall, just inside the building’s two main entrances on the north side. Immediately west of the Capitol is the William G. Stratton Building. Ground was broken for the H-shaped, 448,000-square-foot structure on Feb. 15, 1954, and it was completed some 20 months later at a cost of $11.5 million. It contains the offices of members of the State Senate and House of Representa- tives as well as some state agencies and departments. 460 Adjacent to the Margaret Cross Norton Building is the Illinois State Mu- seum, designed to display the many historic, artistic and natural treasures of Illinois. The official groundbreaking ceremony was held Jan. 5, 1961, and the $2.2 million building was dedicated on Feb. 4, 1963. The museum has four large exhibit halls, two on each of the first two floors. Curatorial offices and related laboratories and shops are located on the third floor along with the staff’s tech- nical library.
