Newspaper Broadside "Extra" entitled, "Xenia Torch-Light", Xenia, Ohio, 26" x 10.5" that was published on July 6, 1861, detailing the text of President Lincoln's June 5th Message to Congress. In this message, Lincoln goes over the events transpiring since the attack on Fort Sumter, and the commencement of hostilities. He gives a litany of aggressive acts to justify his use of constitutional war powers, including the unpopular suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. This Broadside "Extra" has one news item, the report of Gen. McClellan's victory at Phillippi in Western Virginia. Very good condition. An extremely rare Abraham Lincoln related item.
