Debate over Lincoln and Douglas shapes 1860 election stance
A long personal political letter endorses Abraham Lincoln, recounting decades of friendship with Lincoln, rails against Douglas and the Democrats, and argues for Republican principles. The writer recalls rail-building days, denounces party-biting, and pledges support for Lincoln, hoping for a Lincoln presidency and testifying to shared labor and honesty.
