FTP, name this man who returned to politics in 1858 in a losing senate bid against Stephen Douglas, two years before being elected to a higher office.
In the state legislature, he led a caucus called the Long Nine who logrolled to move the state capital from Vandalia, and 12 years later, he was offered the governorship of the Oregon Territory. That was after he had stepped aside to let his friend Stephen Logan run for his seat in Congress. In Congress he had earned the nickname "Spotty" for proposing the Spot Resolutions, and after he left, he held no elective office for more than a decade.
