11) copies of the clippings, courtesy of the Library of Congress,
are to be found at

There may have been one more clipping.  The gift describes nine
clippings.  There are only eight reproduced here, all that the
Library now has. To be sure, the 1864 party platform clipping
appears to be two, but it was originally only one.  Possibly it was
in two pieces when given to the Library, accounting for the nine
count, or perhaps one has gone missing.  I am indebted to Helen
Dalrymple in the office of Public Affairs, and to Terry Delanne
Boone, Senior Rare Book Conservator, of the Library of Congress, for
providing me with copies of the clippings.
