* Abraham Lincoln as the president elect

Among the front page column heads are: "Arrival of President Davis at Montgomery" "Southern Rights and Institutions to be Maintained at All Hazards"  "The Southern Confederacy".
Page 4 has much on Abraham Lincoln, including many comments on the editorial page concerning his trip towards Washington, and with one paragraph beginning: "In the event of a final & ultimate dissolution of the Union--of an irrevocable withdrawal of the Southern from the Northern portion of the confederacy--it will be found, in the end, that the slaveholding have every advantage over the non-slaveholding States..." with more (see for portions).
Plus there is a column with heads: "Movements of Mr. Lincoln" "The President Elect Attends Church with Ex-President Fillmore--Arrangements for His Reception in Albany--His Journey to New York--The Excitement Along the Route" "The Fugitive Slave Anderson--Decision in the Case" and more. Much editorial commentary concerning Lincoln.
Eight page, a bit irregular at the blank spine, generally nice condition.
