See "A Constitutional Union": vol. 1, pp. [72]-87. Delivered in Brooklyn on Oct. 30, 1866, the speech calls for the restoration of the successionist southern states to the Union. De Witt introduces the promised restoration of the Jews to Palestine as "the central romance of the Jewish faith" (pp. 85-86).
