BOOK II

THE DOCTRINE OF POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY

CHAPTER VIII

SENATOR AND CONSTITUENCY

When Douglas took his seat in Congress for the first time, an unknown man in unfamiliar surroundings, he found as his near neighbor, one David S. Reid, a young lawyer from North Carolina, who was of his own age, of his own party, and like him, serving a first term.  An acquaintance sprang up between these young Democrats, which, in spite of their widely different antecedents, deepened into intimacy.  It was a friendship that would have meant much to Douglas, even if it had not led to an interesting romance.  Intercourse with this able young Southerner[294] opened the eyes of this Western Yankee to the finer aspects of Southern social life, and taught him the quality of that Southern aristocracy, which, when all has been said, was the truest aristocracy that America has seen.  And when Reid entertained his friends and relatives in Washington, Douglas learned also to know the charm of Southern women.
