The voices which awoke the echoes of our own halls of Congress with fiery threats, with prophetic admonitions, the mistaken pleading which urged on the war, and the counter pleading which kept in sight the true issue, yes, and the simple, wise eloquence of the Martyr President's parting address-all this is given to the public in the work now offered to it. Some of the orators included in this text are: John Quincy Adams; Irving Bacheller; Benjamin F. Butler; Henry Clay; Samuel L. Clemens; Jefferson Davis; Frederick Douglass; James A.
