Abstract

"The presidential election of 1860 found three tickets in the field and politics in a general muddle. For years there had been two wings in the democratic party. The northern under the leadership of Broderic, a brave able and uncompromising leader (killed in a duel by Judge Terry); the southern wing lead by Terry and Senator Quinn (made a duke under Maxamillion in Mexico during his occupancy). When the Charleston connection split and the anit-slavery element nominated Douglas, he was endorsed by the antis and Breckenridge by the pro slavery wing. The result was a three cornered fight, well seasoned with enthusiasm. Abolitionism was not popular in California and all claiming to be republicans were classed as such."
