ng said this much, I will take up the judge's
interrogatories as I find them printed in the Chicago 'Times,'
and answer them _seriatim_. In order that there may be no mistake
about it, I have copied the interrogatories in writing, and also
my answers to them. The first one of these interrogatories is in
these words:

"Question 1. 'I desire to know whether Lincoln to-day stands, as
he did in 1854, in favor of the unconditional repeal of the
Fugitive-Slave Law?'

"Answer. I do not now, nor ever did, stand in favor of the
unconditional repeal of the Fugitive-Slave Law.

"Q. 2. 'I desire him to answer whether he stands pledged to-day,
as he did in 1854, against the admission of any more slave States
into the Union, even if the people want them?'

"A. I do not now, nor ever did, stand pledged against the
admission of any more slave States into the Union.

"Q. 3. 'I want to know whether he stands pledged against the
admission of a new State into the Union with such a constitution
as the people of that State may see fit to make.'

"Q. 4. 'I want to know whether he stands to-day pledged to the
abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia?'

"A. I do not stand to-day pledged to the abolition of slavery in
the District of Columbia.

"Q. 5. 'I desire him to answer whether he stands pledged to the
prohibition of the slave-trade between the different States?'

"A. I do not stand pledged to the prohibition of the slave-trade
between the different States.

"Q. 6. 'I desire to know whether he stands pledged to prohibit
slavery in all the territories of the United States, north as
well as south of the Missouri Compromise line?'

"A. I am impliedly, if not expressly, pledged to a belief in the
_right_ and _duty_ of Congress to prohibit slavery in all the
United States territories. [Great applause.]

"Q. 7. 'I desire him to answer whether he is opposed to the
acquisition of any new territory unless slavery is first
prohibited therein?'

"A. I am not generally opposed to honest acquisition of
territory; and, in any given case, I would or would not oppose
such acquisition, accordingly as I might think such acquisition
would or would not agitate the slavery question among ourselves.
