http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145506911

Recounts the early struggles of the party and affirms its dedication to the fight against slavery. The occasion of the speech is unknown, but it refers to the election of 1856 as "a year ago". Basler associates the contents with Lincoln's notes for a speech given in Chicago on 28 Feb. 1857. The fragment is accompanied by a letter from Mrs. E.I. Grimsley, 10 Apr. 1866, to the Rev. E.P. Hammond, which identifies it as an address to the Republican Party in 1859.
