November 12, 1860

DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Nov. 12, 1860 

* Abraham Lincoln's 1st election victory

Perhaps the best newspaper to have with news on any Presidential election, being from the nation's capital.
Page 3 has: "Latest Election Returns" showing results of the Presidential election from four cities. This is followed by an article headed: "Mr. Lincoln At Home" which relates to his having won the election, and includes in part: "Mr. Lincoln is continually visited by crowds of well-wishers...no public celebration has yet been arranged..." with more.
Some of the pg. 2 content relates to the secession of states from the Union, including articles headed: "The Flag of South Carolina" and "Flag of the New Confederacy" "Legislature of Georgia" "Speech of a Virginian" and more.
Four pages, large folio size, some foxing at the blank spine, nice condition.
