NEW YORK TRIBUNE, Dec. 22, 1860

* Pre Civil War tensions - Southern crisis
* Abraham Lincoln as president elect

There is much reporting on South Carolina being the first state to leave the Union, with inside page articles: "The Secession Movement - From South Carolina" "The Alleged Right of Secession" "The South Carolina Convention" "The Secession of South Carolina" "Secession in Mississippi" "Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet".
Another report is prefaced with: "A letter from South Carolina, published in 'The Constitution', admits that the election of Mr. Lincoln is only the pretext, not the reason, for secession..." with more.
Eight pages, nice condition.
