Washington: National Democratic Executive Committee. McGill & Witherow, Printers., 1860. 32pp. Disbound, a couple of light fox spots. Good+. Small in-text portrait of Breckinridge at page [3], and of Lane at page 20.
Breckinridge, Buchanan's Vice President, was the 1860 presidential standard-bearer of the anti-Stephen Douglas branch of the Democratic Party, which had split during the 1860 nominating convention; Lane of Oregon was his running mate. Douglas had defied Buchanan over the Kansas issue.
The biographies portray the candidates as national, not sectional leaders, of impeccable lineage and devoted to the Union, as evidenced by their public service. Their stirring military careers receive careful attention.
