Abe's Rail-Splitting Branded Political Calumny
The piece narrates a satirical depiction of Abraham Lincoln as a rail splitter, describing exaggerated work with an axe maul and iron wedge. It labels the account as political calumny and cites local papers reacting to the telegraphic dispatches following the presidential election. The text mocks the portrayal and references regional newspapers and a traveling agent.
