A Democratic Letter and 1860 Election Fallouts
A lengthy letter from an old Democrat laments party splits and praises Lincoln and Hamlin, urging support for the Republican ticket amid accusations of Democratic fraud. It condemns Know Nothing and Breckinridge factions, claims threats to free speech, and urges unity for the nation’s liberties. Also notes Craighead’s contested Third District race and alleged election irregularities in Vallandigham’s favor with possible forgery and naturalization fraud.
