God grant that he may live to see our country again united!
(Applause.) It is with pleasure that I stand here in the home of that man whose blood has baptized our great cause, for which he lies this night confined in a hostile dungeon.
When I utter these words of bravery and patriotism, you know I embody the name of Wilcox, of Michigan.
(Prolonged cheers.) And I trust that the time is not far distant, when he shall again stand by the side of Corcoran,
