From The New-York Times. November 15, 1860:
The Columbus [Georgia] Times says:
“We learn that on the night of the election, some negroes in this city were heard to shout for LINCOLN in the streets. The negroes must be better posted than we imagined. They no doubt hear that LINCOLN is an Abolitionist and in favor of their freedom, and have caught the cue. No Abolitionist instigated it.
