Excerpt from The Issue of the November Election: An Address to Young Men
I need not attempt to discuss collateral questions. Mv purpose does not require me to unfold the history of the origin and extension of slavery in America. I am not called upon to discuss questions pertaining to revenues, nor to present statistics for internal improvements.
Relying upon a dispassionate and trustworthy statement of facts and doctrines which current history substantiates, I speak from the present for the future. I hope, not from mere party bias - I know, not from partisan prejudice. I rely on principles and their practical application.
Adherence to justly grounded and well defined princi ples, is the Vital safeguard of permanent prosperity, alike, for the individual, for the community, and for the state; and such adherence is none the less essential for a political than it is for any other organization.
The lessons of history are clear on this proposition. Those lessons are found not always in events significant when they transpired, but often in what were regarded as minor affairs.
Antiquarians have traced, in fragments of the most fra gile of the productions of man's handicraft, long buried in shifting sands, not only important facts illustrating the do westie characteristics of non-existing nations, but facts which threw light upon the causes of their decline and fall.

William Turner Coggeshall was an American journalist, diplomat, and author. He served as State Librarian of Ohio from 1856 to 1862 and as United States Ambassador to Ecuador from 1866 to 1867.
Background
William Turner seems to have been a direct descendant of that John Coggeshall who came to America in the Lyon in 1632, suffered some persecution in Massachusetts Bay because of his support of Anne Hutchinson, and later became first president of Rhode Island. He was born on September 06, 1824 at Lewistown, Pennsylvania, United States. He was the third of the twelve children of William C. Coggeshall, a coachsmith, and Eliza Grotz, whose father had come from Germany.
Career
On October 6, 1842, Coggeshall left Lewistown for Ohio, arriving at Akron in November. Here he became (1844—1846) an editor and part owner of a temperance paper, which underwent rapid changes of name. In the spring of 1847 he removed to Cincinnati, where he was connected with a number of newspapers and magazines, the most important of which was the monthly Genius of the West from 1853 to 1856). During this Cincinnati period he also published his earliest books; and in 1852 he accompanied Kossuth from Cincinnati on the remainder of his American tour, reporting his speeches for the press.
From May 31, 1856 to March 24, 1862, he was librarian of the Ohio State Library at Columbus, and in 1858-1859, editor of the Ohio Educational Monthly. During the first year of the Civil War he also acted as military secretary to Governor Dennison, and was assigned for a time to secret service. Removing to Springfield, Ohio, he was owner and editor of the Republic, 1862-1865 but was at Columbus as editor of the Ohio State Journal during the greater part of the latter year.
Early in 1866 he served as private secretary to Governor Jacob D. Cox. On May 4, 1866, he was appointed American minister to Ecuador, and officially announced his arrival at Guayaquil on August 2 and at Quito on September 8. The only notable event of his ministry was his successful appeal to the government of Ecuador, in opposition to the papal nuncio and other authorities of the church, for the right of Protestant burial for foreigners. Coggeshall himself was already so ill of consumption that his daughter Jessie, who had accompanied him from the United States and served as interpreter and secretary, was practically in charge of the legation; and on August 2, 1867, he died at a country place near Quito. His body was at first buried in consecrated ground, but when the clerical revolution occurred soon afterward, was disinterred and placed in a public warehouse. Later the remains of both Coggeshall and his daughter, who had died at Guayaquil on her way home, were returned to the United States at the public expense, and buried at Columbus, Ohio.
As a writer, Coggeshall addressed himself generally to the young, and fell naturally into a strain of conventional moralizing. In his controversial speaking and writing, however, he was often vigorous: he argued effectively in support of Lincoln in his political pamphlets and appealed skilfully to popular interest in his tract, Need and Availability of the Writing and Spelling Reform (1857). Other works, like his Lincoln Memorial (1865), were mere compilations. His fiction, as in Oakshaw (1855), was awkward and too intent on moralizing, but made some attempt to avoid the easy appeal of blood and tears popular in that day, and was concerned to a considerable extent with character.
The Protective Policy in Literature (1859), a plea for sectionalism as a fruitful motive in literature, was, in effect, an announcement of what was by far his most important work, The Poets and Poetry of the West (1860), a comprehensive anthology for the years 1789-1860, with brief biographical sketches. His estimates of Western verse writers are not critical, but the book is nevertheless a valuable record. It was designed as the first of a series of volumes, never continued, which should constitute a survey of Western literature and so offset the neglect which, as he thought, the West had suffered at the hands of Griswold and the Duyckincks. Both this work and The Protective Policy mark Coggeshall as a disciple of William D. Gallagher who, with James Hall and Timothy Flint, was a pioneer partisan of a distinctly sectional literature for what in those days was called the West.
