I know Mormon leader Joseph Smith was in Illinois at this time. Is he the person referred to in the article?

Excellent, Anita! Indeed it was Joseph Smith, the Mormon leader. As far as I know, there is no evidence Smith and Abraham Lincoln ever met.

Stephen Douglas defended Smith in a court case. Smith later predicted that Douglas would run for President but lose if he ever hurt the Latter Day Saints. (Wikipedia)
