Published by The Wisconsin Daily Patriot / Daily Patriot Printing House, Madison, [Wisconsin], 1864
Seller: Evening Star Books, ABAA/ILAB, Madison, WI, U.S.A.
Newspaper. Condition: Very Good. Bifolium. 55 c.m. x 40 c.m. Newspaper printed in black. Text divided into six columns. Price of 15 cents in the first column of text. With a few small illustrations. The Wisconsin Daily Patriot began printing in 1853 and was a daily newspaper dedicating to the promotion of the Democratic Party and the idea that the country could not prosper unless it was under the leadership of politicians from the Democratic Party. This issue contains a prospectus of the editorial board's opinion on the 1864 election and has a long essay that heavily criticizes Lincoln. The writer argues that Lincoln is not the person to put down the rebellion, and that he used the issue of American slavery as a tool to divide the country and seek his own power. The writer also makes clear that he believes that inequality between white and Black people was "mandated by God". The paper also contains what was then recent news of the Confederate Army's attack of Fort Stevens, and of General Franklin's capture by the Confederates. It gives several eye-witness accounts of battle action. Finally, the newspaper also contains plenty of advertisements for local Madison businesses including clothiers, exterminators, surgeons, printing houses, druggists, and other shops. The newspaper is a clear account of northern prejudice, anti-Lincoln sentiment, and shows a fervent Democrat's perspective on the U.S. Civil War. Two faint dampspots and two folds to the paper.

Davis, first made in this correspondence on Tuesday last:- 'Positive advices received here this morning on Davis' death.' A special messenger from Fortress Monroe, who arrived here to-day, announces that flags have been flying at half-mast along the rebel lines for several days, and information was received at the fortress that it was in consequence of the death of Jeff Davis."
