Description
[Washington]: Printed by Lemuel Towers, 1860. 24pp. Folded, untrimmed and uncut. Caption title [as issued]. Scattered mild foxing, Very Good. Benjamin spoke for the Southern Democrats as the crucial 1860 presidential race heated up. The Speech would also be printed as a Breckinridge-Lane campaign pamphlet in the upcoming election. The Louisiana Senator, the second Jew to serve in the U.S. Senate, levels both barrels at Democratic Senator Stephen Douglas's Popular Sovereignty Doctrine. Signaling the South's repudiation of the Illinois Senator as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, Benjamin argues that the South will be satisfied only by guarantees for the protection of slavery-- regardless of popular opposition-- in the Territories. In the course of arraigning Douglas, Benjamin discusses in some detail the former's debates with Lincoln in the Illinois senatorial contest two years earlier. Sabin 4701. LCP 1092. Not in Work or Blockson.
