BRECKINRIDGE AND LANE CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT, NO. 5. THE PUBLIC RECORD AND PAST HISTORY OF JOHN BELL & EDW'D EVERETT.

[Washington: National Democratic Executive Committee, 1860]. 32pp. Folded and untrimmed. Scattered light foxing. Very Good. Caption title, as issued.

The Southern wing of the Democratic Party, taking time away from its massive assaults on fellow Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, attacks the Constitutional Union Party headed by John Bell of Tennessee. Bell is portrayed as an unprincipled friend of Compromise who often voted with the Abolitionists, and is unsound on the Kansas Question and the Dred Scott Decision.
