There was little talk now of compromise. The old-time statesmen of the Clay and Webster, Winthrop and Crittenden, school soon disappeared from the arena. Men hitherto comparatively unknown to the country at large were soon to the front. Conspicuous among them was a country lawyer whose home was at Springfield, Illinois.
