its ghastly forms, and hideous sight?; the recent] announcement of the assassin aiton of hi* Ex- I cell ency Abraham Lincoln, the ?hief -Magis? trate of the United Stutes, with Hie time, the manner and the place in whioh he was most flatty murdered, struck' upon our senses with most appalling horror, and called forth on the atrocious deed* ?n indignant burst, of universal condemnation. We h-ve met to mingle our grief with the .national sorrow, to mourn an occurrence which may retard that peace for whicii every patriot longed, and for which bleeding humanity most .oevoutly prayed; and to deplore the commis? sion of a crime degrading and disgraceful to us as a civilized people. * Mr. Lincoln, among his. last acts, hod inau? gurated measures intended to produce pesce. la hie pre-emii-tcntly high position, surrounded .mill ali that Was desirable in life and which in ikea life desirable; in the confidence of his . Cabinet and ia the possession of power and popularity as far aa he was individually con? cerned for personal .honor and distiuctiol?; he may have been w-ell content that his mission t * was accomplished". But to the Am'ricau peu? ple "tl*t the majesty of the le,w-the only earthly majesty here tolerated and venerated, because embodying the will of the people, and whick protects the humblest citizens and guards the highest functionary-sbouldtfbave bs? n de? fiantly disregarded in the sight and hearing of hundreds, a peaceful scene converted in an in? stant ?ato a enter and bloody drama; and the Presiden t^oi the United States, unarmed and unsuspecting danger, in the presence of his family and people, should have been brutally assassinated, was aa astounding reality which claims our unqualified detestation and sondern nation.
