* Abraham Lincoln as a candidate

Page 4 has an article headed: "Abraham Lincoln" which includes: "...Those three questions are just the questions which the people of the United States ought to ask in regard to candidates for the Presidency. Let Abraham Lincoln, for example, be subjected to the ordeal of these questions. Is he honest?....Is he capable?...Is he faithful to the Constitution?..." with more on each. Also on pg. 4 is: "Is the Constitution Guilty of the Sin of Slavery?"
Of curious interest is a single sheet "Supplement" attached, which  includes the facsimile signatures of many famous people (see photo). Very unusual.
Ten pages, some minor edge tears, nice condition.
