February 26, 1856, Hon. John P. Hale's Speech on "The Wrongs of Kansas", Published by Buell and Blanchard, Printers, Washington D.C., Very Fine.
9.0" x 5.5", string bound 16 page pamphlet, no covers, crisp edges. Text remains very dark and percise. Delivered to the U.S. Senate by Rep. John P. Hale: "I believe that if, listening to evil counsels, pushed on by the purposes of ambition or any other... the humanity of these great people will teach such men a lesson which they, nor their children, nor their children's children, to the latest posterity, will forget." A speech given that expresses the stong American emotions that it is the best counrty, and the citizens popular vote will help to uphold the Union.
