About This Item
[[Augusta?, 1866. [4] pp. Folded. Caption title, as issued. Printed in two columns per page. Lightly foxed and worn, Good+.
Pillsbury, the Democrats' candidate for Governor of Maine, had been editor of the Farmington Patriot during the Civil War. His editorial comments-- expressing "disloyal sentiments during the very crisis of his country's fate"-- disqualify him from public office. Pillsbury "charged Mr. Lincoln with deception and falsehood," called the draft unconstitutional, and otherwise "encouraged the hosts of Rebeldom."
Pillsbury's opponent, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, was meanwhile in the thick of the most crucial battles of the War. His record is "WRITTEN WITH HIS OWN SWORD." "Voters of Maine!! Read them both and choose between them on the 14th of September.!"
Not located on OCLC as of August 2021 or the online sites of Harvard or Bowdoin.
