"But the South has grievances of which to complain far more galling than the bare election of a Republican to the Presidency. The surrender of fugitive slaves is a constitutional obligation upon every State in the Union--without such a guaranty the Union would never have been formed." (Herschel Johnson)
"Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln leave Chicago at 9 A. M. and reach Springfield at 6:30. Lincoln's return "is the delight of the reporters and a number of office-seekers, who have been lying in wait for him since [Nov. 24]. The President and party traveled in separate cars. No ovations were received on the way on account of the rainy weather." (Chicago Journal, 26 November 1860) (The Lincoln Log)
