Excerpt from The Great Issue: An Address Delivered Before the Union Campaign Club, of East Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday Evening, Oct; 25, 1864 In thanking your Club, as I beg leave to do most cordially, for the honour you have done me in asking me to follow the speakers Whose eloquence has already consecrated your campaign quarters to those principles of Nationality and Freedom upon Which our Fathers of the Revolution laid the basis of our Republic, I cannot forget the interesting historic associations that cluster around the site you have so happily selected.
