Lovejoy, Magruder, Cook, Judd, Palmer and Baker of Alton were the men who never could vote for a Whig and without the votes of two of whom I never could reach the requisite number to make an election. I do not mean that I actually got within two votes of the required number but I easily enough could have done so, provided I could have assured my friends that two of the above named four would go for me. In this con- <hr /> nection it is necessary to bear in mind that your Senator Osgood, together with Davis, Morrison, Kinney & Trapp of St. Clair have openly gone over to the enemy. It was Govr. Matteson's manoevering that forced upon me and my friends the necessity of surrendering to Trumbull. He made his first successful hit by tampering with old man Strunk. Strunk was pledged to me, which Matteson knew, but he succeeded in persuading him that I stood no chance of an election, and in getting a pledge from him to go for him as a second choice. He next made similar impressions on Hills of DuPage, Parks of your town and Strawn & Day of LaSalle, at least we saw strong signs that he had, and they being old democrats and I an old whig, I could get no sufficient access to them to pound them to the bottom. That Matteson assured the Nebraska democrats he could get their men, after they should have made a respectable show by voting a few ballots for other men, I think there is no doubt; and by holding up to their greedy eyes this amount of capital in our ranks, it was that he induced the Nebraska men to drop Shields and leave him en masse. The Nebraska men, since Osgood's <hr /> and Davis defection, had control of the Senate, and they refused to pass the resolution for going into the election till three hours before the joint session was to, and did in fact, commence. One of the Nebraska senators has since told me that they only passed the resolution when they did upon being privately assured by the Governor that he had it all safe. I have omitted to say that it was well understood Baker would vote for Trumbull, but would go over to Matteson rather than me. Passing over the first eight ballots which you have doubtless seen when on the ninth, Matteson had 47 - having every Nebraska man, and old man Strunk besides, and wanting but three of an election; and when the looser sort of my friends had gone over to Trumbull and raised him to 35 and reduced me to 15, it struck me that Hill, Parks, Strawn, Day and Baker, or at least some three of them would go over from Trumbull to Matteson & elect him on the tenth ballot, unless they should be kept on T. by seeing my remaining men coming over to him. I accordingly gave the intimation which my friends acted upon, electing T. that ballot. All were taken by surprise, Trumbull quite as much as any one else. <hr /> There was no pre-concent about it. In fact I think a pre-concent to that effect could not have been made. The heat of the battle, and imminent danger of Matteson's election were indispensably necessary to the result. I know that few if any, of my remaining 15 men would have gone over from me without my direction; and I gave the direction simultaneously with forming the resolution to do it. It is not true, as might appear by the first ballot, that Trumbull had only five friends who preferred him to me. I know the leanings of all the men tolerably well and my opinion is, that if the 51 who elected him were compelled to a naked expression of preference between him and me, he would at the outside, have 16 and I would have the remainder. And this again would depend substantially upon the fact that his 16 come from the old democratic ranks & the remainder from the whigs. Such as preferred him yet voted for me on the first ballottings and so on the idea that a minority among friends ought not to stand out against a majority. Lest you might receive a different impression, I wish to say I hold Judge Parks in very high estimation, believing him to be neither knave or fool, but decidedly the reverse of both.

Springfield Feb 11 1855 Hon. J. O. Norton My dear Sir: I have now been beaten one day over a week and I am very happy to find myself quite convalescent. Your kind letter of the 20th of Jan'y I did not receive until the day before yesterday - owing I suppose to our great snow storm. The day after the election I wrote Washburne the particulars, tolerably fully.

Giddings, an Ohio abolitionist congressman. Lincoln apoligizes for his failure to make his reply earlier due to illness in the family. Lincoln agrees that the suggestions Giddings made in his letter are important and he appreciates them. He writes that "If I fail, it will be for lack of ability, and not of purpose." Mr. Tuck sent Lincoln a note written by Giddings which Lincoln answered; but since Giddings did not mention the reply, Lincoln is afraid that he did not receive it. According to Basler 4:80-81: Giddings' letter of June 19 suggested that Lincoln follow the example set by John Quincy Adams in not answering any questions upon which he was expected to act as president until he was elected, and further that he should say to applicants for office that at the proper time he would select his cabinet and leave each secretary responsible for appointments in his department.

On yesterday morning the [most?] of the whig members from this District got together and agreed to hold the convention at Tremont in Tazewell county. I am sorry to hear that any of the whigs of your county, or, indeed of any county should [illegible] be against conventions. On last Wednesday evening a meeting of all the whigs then here from all parts of the State was held, and the question of the propriety of conventions was brought up and fully discussed and at the end of the discussion, a resolution recommending the system of conventions to all the whigs of the State, was unanimously adopted. Other Resolutions also were passed, all of which will appear in the next Journal. The meeting also appointed a committee to draft an <hr /> address to the People of the State, which address will also appear in the next Journal. In it, you will find a brief argument in favor of conventions; and although I wrote it myself, I will say to you that it's conclusive upon the point that it can not be reasonably answered. The right way for you to do, is to hold your meeting and appoint delegates anyhow; and if there be any who will not take part, let it be so. The matter will work so well this time that even they who now oppose will come in next time. The convention will be held at Tremont on the 5th April, and according to the rule we have adopted your county is to have two delegates---being double the number of your representatives.

Springfield, Jany 29. 1858 John Olney, Esq My dear Sir: I have had your case under consideration for two days; and I really fear you can not maintain the suit. Doup has the legal title, and who but the State, can question it? If Galatin County has the right to question it by suit, can it do so without making the State a party? and how can you make the State a party? The case, depending upon new and peculiar statutes, I can not give an opinion with [greater?] confidence. It may be worth the trial, after all---I submitted the case to Logan, and his off-hand opinion is that you can not maintain it. Can you not make the question in [Ejectment?] as well as otherwise? Prove your title, and when they present theirs prove that it was obtained in [favor?] of the law. Sorry I can not write a more encouraging letter. I charge nothing for this. Yours very truly, A.

Olney, a partner in the law firm of Olney & McAtee in Shawneetown, Gallatin County, Illinois, is active in Republican Party politics, serving as a delegate to the state party convention in 1858. It is possible that the case under consideration is Daniel Doup vs. Ninian Primm and Samuel C. Gibson. Lincoln and Herndon previously served as Doup's attorneys regarding some Illinois real estate transactions. Doup died in the middle of the business in June 1857, leaving a wife and other heirs. At that time, Olney was drawn into some aspect of Doup's affairs. Lincoln declines to predict the final solution of the enterprise and indicates an appropriate fee for his opinion. Although Lincoln tells Olney that there is no fee for his advice, Lincoln ended up being paid partly in land in Gallatin County. Two years later, Olney runs as a Republican presidential elector, and on June 27, 1867, is selected to the bench of Illinois's 19th circuit court.

Springfield, Jany 14, 1855 Dear Yates Your letter of the 8th is just received. The Bissell Movement, of which you speak, I have had my eye upon ever since before this commencement of the session, and it is now perhaps as dangerous a card as we have to play against. There is no danger, as I think of the A. N. men uniting on him, but the danger is that the Nebraska men, failing to do better, will turn onto him en masse and then a few A.N. men wanting a pretext only will join on him, pretending to believe him an A. N. man. We can not get a single sincere Anti-Nebraska vote. At least, so I think. At the meeting of the Legislature we had 57 to their 43, nominally. But Kinney did not attend which left us only 56. Then Trapp, of St. Clair went over, leaving us only 55 and raising them to 44. Next Osgood of the Senate went over, reducing us to 54 and raising them to 45. It is now said Kinney will be here soon, putting us up to 55 again, and so we stand now nominally. What [mines?[ and pitfalls they have under us we do not know but we understand they claim to have 48 votes. If they have that number, it is only that <hr /> they have already got some men whom we have all along suspected they would get, and we hope they have reached the bottom of the rotten material. In this too, we may be mistaken. This makes a squally case of it. As to myself personally, I may start with 20 or 25 votes, but I think I can, in a few ballots, get up to 48 if an election is not sooner made by the other side. But how I am to get the three additional votes I do not yet see. It seems to me the men [thow?] their votes are to come from will not go to the other side unless they should be led off on the Bissell track. If the election should be protracted, a general scramble may ensue, and your chance will be as good as that of any other I suppose. It is said Gov. Matteson is trying his hand; and as his success would make a Governor of Koerner, he may be expected to favor this movement. I suppose the election will commence on the 31st and when it will end I am sure I have no idea. Very truly yours A. Lincoln Status The current transcription status of a document or a page.
