New York Times - Times Machine ^ | 8/17/1860

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Correspondence of the New-York Times. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Sunday, Aug. 12, 1860. After one of the most turbulent and bitterly contested elections which it has ever been my fortune, good or bad, in an experience of thirty years, to participate, the community has relapsed into a quietude, from its contrast almost startling in its intensity. In communicating its coincident results, the telegraph will, of course, have long anticipated me; but upon its inside history I may perhaps let in a ray or two of particular sunshine. Owing to peculiar circumstances the fight in Missouri has been a sort of quadrangular, nay, rather a promiscuous one. Before the Democratic split at Charleston, a State Ticket had been formed in regular convention upon an ultra Southern platform, but after the duplicate Presidential nominations, the public adhesion of the principal or Gubernatorial nominees, C.F. JACKSON and T.C. REYNOLDS, to Mr. DOUGLAS, on the score of the assumed "regularity" of his nomination, induced the Breckinridge leaders in St. Louis -- for the purpose of bringing their haughty and fraternal opponents to terms of mutual interest -- to propose, and finally put up, the names of two very popular and reliable Breckinridge men, Messrs. HANCOCK JACKSON and M.M. PARSONS, for Governor and Lieut.-Governor.

Any chance you could put the date at the beginning of the titles on these 1860 posts? Would make it easier/faster to skip over for those of us not interested.
