Excerpt from Mr. Bancroft's Oration: Oration Delivered by George Bancroft Before the Mayor, Common Council, and Citizens of New York, on the 22d of February, 1862, at the Request of the Common Council

The President of the United States has charged us this day to meet and take counsel from the Farewell Address of Washington. We charge him in return, by his oath of office, by his pledges to the country, by the blood that has been shed and the treasure that has been expended, by the security of this generation, by the hopes of the next, by his desire to stand well with mankind and to be remembered in honor by future ages, to take to his heart this injunction of Washington.
