Excerpt from Lincoln Birthday Service

Sixty years ago there lived in Springfield, Illinois, a somewhat well known lawyer in the circuit in which he practiced and, in a less degree, in the state within which he lived. He was then the typical self - made, professional man of the American frontier. As we all know, born of the poo-rest parents, nurtured in penury, educated in spite of and not by reason of the schools, he had practiced law with success, had studied much without instruction, had dabbled in politics, so thathe had a local reputation in that behalf, but was prae tically unknown outside of his own particular circle. He had been nominated as a Whig elector, but he had neither elected anyone, nor been elected himself.
