About This Item
[np. Milwaukee? Berlin WI?, 1864. Broadside, 6-1/8" x 11." Spotted, small chip to blank upper corner. Good+.
Ezra Wheeler, Wisconsin Democrat, was serving his only term in Congress when he wrote this October 15 letter to his constituents in the Berlin Courant. He retired from Congress at the end of his term.
Lincoln supporters reprinted the letter in this broadside, for the edification of voters in Wheeler's Fifth Wisconsin District. Wheeler "cannot support McClellan and Pendleton without being false to his Country, and false to the platform on which he was placed by the Democratic party of this district two years ago. . . As a loyal Union Democrat, he now advocates, and vote for, the re-election of Abraham Lincoln." Wheeler explains that a Democratic victory "would inevitably be the separation of the Northern and Southern States, and following that probably a division among the Northern States; and finally the destruction of our Government."
