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. Therefore, be ii " "' ?a
t * Resolved, That we, the people of the city of
Charleston, deeply deplore the assassination of
his Excellency Abraham LinculnJPrtsident of
the United States of ?meriea. .
Resolved, That wo regard the late President's
death es u national oahimity, believiug that
mei.sures by his efforts were being inaugurated
which would have restored peace tu our dis?
tracted. coon try.
Resolved, That the Assassination of the Chief
Magistrate of the United Mates wag. an atro?
cious murder which merits universal condemna?
tion.
^ Resolved, "That the Chairman b? requested to
forward a copy-jof the proceedings ol this mceT
ing, with a letter of condolence, to-a\lr& Lincoln,
a-ad family, expressive of our sympathy at theil
most distressing and afflictive bereavement.
We are told by a gentleman from below, ic
whom we have every confidence, that there is
good reason to believe thal, the Federals nie
about to establish garrisons at Summerville r.uc
at Orangeburg. It is also reported that they
.-propose, at cn early period, td re-open thc
rc.iiway communication to the latter place
which can be easily done, there being on!j
slight repairs needed along the line. In fact
this route can be pursued to Fort Motte; tia
loss of the Congaree and Edisto Bridges wil
. . for come time delay any farther progress on
ertbec of the track's of the South Carolina P.aii
road, beyond this point on the one and Branch?
ville on the other.
