NEW YORK WEEKLY TRIBUNE, Dec. 15, 1860 Many fine articles within, including an interesting article: "Capture of Another Slaver" which concerns the capture of the slave ship Cora. It begins: "Advices from the African squadron report the capture of another slaver, with 705 Africans on board. She is called the bark Cora and hails from New York. She was taken about 80 miles off the Congo River..." with more detail.
Other articles include: "The Secession Movement--Picture of a Home at the South--Letters From Charleston" "The Presidential Contest" which has a chart of votes by state. The report begins: "It is morally certain that the seven Presidential Electors chosen on the Pacific slope have voted...for Lincoln and Hamlin...".
Also a report from the Pony Express; "She is Good For Nothing, by Hans Christian Andersen" and: "A Slave-holding Republic".
Eight pages, some minor damp staining, minor margin wear, generally good condition.
