Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Schuyler Colfax: Together With His Most Important Speeches
The unusual enthusiasm manifested by the people of the Union over the nomination of Mr. Colfax for the office of Vice-President of the United States, has made it proper that a full and detailed account of the life and services of that distinguished statesman should be given to the public, in order that the people of the country may have, in a convenient form, a record of those services upon which his friends base their selection of him for the second post in the gift of the nation. It is confidently believed that no better choice could have been made.
The author has labored to present as complete and perfect a record of the life and services of Mr. Colfax, as can be compressed within the limits of a work necessarily so brief as this. He has given a full history of his Congressional career, his manly defence of the great and vital principles of our system of Government, and his efforts in behalf of the cause of progress in all parts of our broad land.
