Sectional feelings once again ran high when the military pension for Jefferson Davis was proposed, with Republicans and Democrats split along party lines. 8vo, 8pp. Text in 2 columns. A very small amount of browning at inner edge, otherwise very good. Uncut, a small tear to first couple pages. Seller Inventory # 21876
