Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of an Union Meeting, Held in New York: An Appeal to the South I sincerely regret that it was not your pleasure to select some other gentleman as chairman of this meeting. In these times, it is more important that we should exhibit to the public mind accessions to our ranks - to that class of our people who have given no cause for excite ment, and who have done nothing to snnder the ties of affection by which the people of these United States were once held together. I should rather, much rather, that this meeting could be presided over by some gentleman, remarkable, if you please, for not having hitherto manifested much interest in this question, or remarkable, like Senator Dixon of Con nectieut, who a day or two since, stepping forth from the ranks of the se-called republican party, and placing himself before this country as a true hearted American, devoted to conciliation, to harmony, to holding us together, to perpetuating our interests and our Union, pro claimed in the Senate of the United States the doctrine of peace, andmade a manlv etl'ort in his high place - who, separating himself, as I say, from those who were at least suspected, and with whom he had been associated, made an etl'ort worthy of the occasion and likely to be bene ficial in its influence. (applause) l have no other objection to appear here, save that my appearance does not indicate the presence of a new champion for Union. A new vindicator of concord, a new foe to causes of irritation and dissension. But is a mere indication - permit me to say it that those who have been always faithful are faithful still.
