The national game : three "outs" and one "run" : Abraham winning the ball.

Notes:

Presidential candidates playing a game of baseball. Abraham Lincoln holds a ball and a stick labeled "Equal rights and free territory," while standing on "home base." A skunk stands before Stephen Douglas (holding a stick labeled "Fusion"), John Bell (with "Non-Intervention" stick), and John Breckinridge (with "Slavery extension" stick). Breckinridge holds his nose and is turned away while complaining about being "completely 'skunk'd.'"; Probably drawn by Louis Maurer.; "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1860, by Currier & Ives, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Southern Distt. of N.Y."
