Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Doric Pillar of Michigan: A Memorial Address, Commemorative of the Hon. Zachariah Chandler, United States Senator, Delivered in the Fort Street Presbyterian Church, Detroit, Michigan, Thursday Morning, November 27, 1879
Those were days when history is made fast. Every day throbbed with big issues. Kansas was a battle ground of freedom; and the awful struggle between State Sovereignty and National Unity was gathering, like a volcano, for its terrible outbreak. The Republican Senator from Michigan took in, at a glance, the situation of affairs. Devoted as he was to the State, whose able advocate and zealous friend he was; earnest and persistent as he was, in promoting the commercial and industrial interests of the Lake region; he was yet too much a patriot to forget the whole country; and, as the great conflict, which Mr. Seward named irrepressible, moved steadily on towards its crisis, he armed himself for the encounter and planted his feet upon the rock of unalterable allegiance to the Union; and from that position he never swerved.
