THE DEATH OP ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
ORATIONINOY GEORGE IN
SQUARE, NEW YoRK,BANcRoFr
Aram 25, 1865.UN10N
Our grief and horror at the crime which
has clothed the Continent in mourning, find
no adequate mipression in words and no relief
in tears. The President of the United State§
of America has fallen by the hands of-an
assassin. Neither the office with which:he
was invested b. the approved 'choice' .6f 'a
mighty people, nor the most simple-hearted
kindliness pf nature, could save him from the
fiendish passions f relentless fanaticism.
The wailings of the millions attend his re: l
mains as they are borne in solemn procession
over our great rivers, along the, sea-side, be- .
yorid the Mountains across the, prairie, to
their find resting place in the valley of the
Mitsissippi. The echoes of his funeral knell
vibrate though the world, and the friends of
freedom, of every tongue and in every clime
are his mourners. Too few days-have,passed
away since Abraham Lincoln stood in the
flush of vigorous manhood:to permit any at
tempt at an analysis of his character or an
exposition of his career.
We find it hard to believe that his large
eyes, which in their softness aturbeautY ex
pressed nothing . but benevolence and gentle
ness, are closed in death;'Wealmost look for
the pleasant smile that brought out more
vividly the earnest east of his features, which
were serious even to sadness. A few years
ago he was a village attorney, engaged in the
support of a rising family, unknown to fame,
scarcely:named beyond his neighborhood;
his administration, made him the Most con
spicuous man in his country, and drew on
him firs , the astonished gaze and • then
the respect • and admiration • of the wad.
Those who come after us will decide how
much of the wonderful results of' his pub
lic career is due to - his own good common
sense, his shrewd sagacity, readiness of wit,
quick. interpretation of the:public mind, his
rare combination of fixedness and pliancy, his
steady tendency of purpose ; how much to
the American people, who, as he walked with
them, side by side, inspired him 'with their
own wisdom and energy ; and how much, to
the over-ruling laws of the moral world, by
which the selfishness of evil is made to defeat
•
But, after every allowance, it will remain
that members of' the Government which pre
ceded his administration opened the gates to
treason, and he closed them.; that whente
went to. Washington, the ground on which
he trod shook. under his feet, and he left the
Republic on a solid foundation ; that traitors
had seized publio forts and arsenals, and'he
recovered them for tbe United States, to
whom they belonged; that the CaPital,
which he found the abode of 'slaves, is nbw
the home only of the free ; that the boundless
public domain which was gresped,at, and, in
a great measure, held for. Alin 'diffusion of,
slavery, is now'irrevocably devoted to free
dom : that then men talked, a jargon of a
balance of power - in a republic between slave'
States_and free States, and, now the -foolish
words are blown away forever by the breath
of Maryland, Missouri . and Tennessee ; that
a terrible cloud of political heresy rose from
the abyss threatening to hide the light of the
sun, and under its darkness a rebellion was
rising into indefinable .proportions; now the
atmosphere, is purer than ever before; and the
insurrection is vanishing away ; the eountry
is cast into another mania, and the gigantic
system of wrong, which had been the work
of more than two centuries, is dashed down,
we hope, forever.
And as to himself personally; he was then
scoffed at by the.proud as unfit for his station,
and now, against the usage of years,
and in spite of numeroue,e,ompetitors, he was,
the unbiased and the undoubted elloice of the
American people for a second term of, service.
Through all the mad business of treason, he
retained the sweetness .of ; a most plaCable
disposition; and the slaughter of myriads of
the best on the battle-field, and the more ter
rible destruction of .Oxik:'.inen• in captivitY` by
the slow torture , of eiposure 'and. starvation,
had never been able to provoke him into
harboring one vengeful feeling or one pur
pose of cruelty. '-
How shall the nation•most completely show
its sorrow at Mr. Lincoln's death? How.shall
it best honor its memory ? There Cattle but
one answer. He was -struck down 'when he
was highest in its service, and, in strict con
formity with duty was engaged in carrying
out principles affecting its life, its good name,
and its relations to the cause of freedom and
the progress of mankind. Grief must take
the character of action, and breathe itself forth
in the assertion ofthe policy.to which he fell
a sacrifice. The: standard which ,he held
in
n
his hand must, be uplifted again, igher an
more firmly than before, and must be carried
on to. triumph.
Above everything else his proclamation of
the first day of January, • 1863, declaring
throughout the parts of the country in rebel
lion the freedom of all persons' who have
been held as slaves, mast be affirmed and'
maintained. Events, as they roll onward,
haveremoved eterY doubt df the legality 'and
binding force of that prciclamation. The
country and the Rebel Government have
each, laid claim to' the Public service of the
slave, and yet bpt one of the two can hive a
rightful claim, to such service. That right
-
f'lo. Claim belongs to the "United. Mates, be--
cause` every, one born,on their soil, with the
few exceptions of the children of travellers
and• transient residents, owes them a primary
countedllance. Every one so. born has been
. among those represented in Con
gress; every slave has ever been represented
in Congress—imperfectly and wrongly it may
be—but still has been counted end,represent
ed. The slave born on our soil owed allegi
ance to the General Government. It may
in time past have been a qualified allegiance,
manifested through his master, s the allegi
ance of a ward through its gnardiat or of an
infant through its parent.
But when the master became false to his
allegiance, the slave stood face to face with
his country, and his allegiafice, which may
before have been a qualified, one, became
direct, and immediate,. His ,cha riceell off,
and he stood at once in the presof the
nation, bound like the rest of m` Co
its, public
defence. • Mr.,Lincoln' s proclamation did but
take Wine ,of the already existing - right of
the .bondman, to fieedom.. The treason
'the sl of
the
e
master made it a public crime for'
to continue his obedience - the treason of a
State set free the collective bondinen of ththe.
at
State.' This doctrine is supported by
analogy of precedents. In the times of feu
dalitai the treason of the lord of the manor I
deprived hint of his serfs ; the spurious feu- '
daliith that existed among us differs in many
resPlitat'S from . the feudalism of the middle
ages' but so far the precedent runs parallel*
withithe present case ; for.treason the master,
then, for treason the master now, loses his
slaves: In the middle ages the sovereign ap
uointed another lord Over te serfs and the
land which they cultivated ;h ,in our day, the
sovereign makes, them masters of their own
persons, lords over themselves.
It has been said that we are at war,. and
that 'emancipation is net a belligerent right.
The,pbjectima disappears before analysis. In
a war between Mdepeadent •powers the inva
ding:foreig,ner invites,to his standard f
will give him aid, whether bond or Fee, an _
he rewards them; ruing 'his ability and
his pleasure, with gifts or freedom ; but when
at peace he withdraws from the invaded
country, he must take his eiders, and com
forters with him ; or if he leaves them be
hind, where he has no court to enforce his
r.;ecreek he - can give them no security, unless
it be by the stipulations of a treaty. In a
civil war it is altogether different. There,
when rebellion is crushed, the old GoVern
ment is restored, and its eourte resume their
jurisdiction. So it is with us; the ,United
States have courts of their own, that m u st
punish the guilt of treason and vindicate the
freedom of persons whom the fact of rebel
lion has set free.
Nor may it be said that, because slavery
existed in most of the: States when the Union
was formed, it cannot rightfullY be interfered
with now. A change has taken place such
as'Madison foresaw, and for which he point
ed out - the remedy. The Constitutions , of
States had been transformed before the plot
tere Of treason, carried thein away into rebel-,
lion. When the Federal Constitution was
formed general emancipation was 'thought to
be; near, and everywhere the respective Legis
latures had authority, in the exercise of their
ordinary functions, to do away with slavery ;
snide that time the attempt has been made
in what are called Slave States to - make the
condition of slavery perpetual ; and events
have proved with the clearness of demonstra
tion, that a Constitution which seeks to con
tinu•e a caste of hereditary bondmen through
endless generations, is inconsistent with the
existence of republican institutions.
So, then, the new - President and the people
of the United states must insist that the pro
elaniation of freedom shall stand as a reality.
And, moreover, the people must never cease
to insist that the Constitution shall be so
amended as utterly to prohibit slavery on any,
part of our soil forevermore. Alas 1 that a
State in our vicinity should withhold its assent
to this last beneficent - measure; its ' refusal'
was an, encouragement to our, enemies equal
to the gain of a pitched battle, and delays
the only hopeful method of pacification. The
removal of the cause Of the rebellion'is-not
only demanded by justice: it is the policy of
mercy, making room for a wider clemency; ,
it is the part of order against a chaos of, eon
troversy ; its success 'brings with it true re
concilement, a lasting -peace, a continuous
growth of confidence through an assimilation
of thesocial condition. . •
Here is the fitting expression of the mourn
ing, of to-day. And:let no lover of his coun
try say'that this warning is uncalled fix': 'The
cry is . delusive that slavery is dead': Bien
now , ,it is nerving itself for afresh struggle for I
continuance. The last winds from the . Southi
waft to us the sad intelligence that a man
who had surrounded himself ' with the glory
of the most brilliant and mostvaried achieve
ments; who but a week ago was named with
affectionate pride among the greatest bene
factors of his country, and the ablest Generals
of all time, has'usurped' nit & than the Whole
power ,of the Executive; and :under-thetnanth
of peace, has revived slavery, and:givemse
entity and` - political.power to traitors fromthe
Chesapeake tothe'llio :Grande. Why. could'
heit - ot reineinber the 'dying advice Of 'WaSli-t
ington, never, to draw the Sword , butfor 'self=
defence, or the rights of his country, and when
drawn, never to sheath it till its work should
be abeomplished?
. And yet frith' this bad' act, which the peo=
rile with one . united voice condemn, no great ,
evil will l ollow save the shadow on hie own,
fame. The individual,_ even in the greatness
of militarY glory, sinks into insignificanee be
fore therenistless movements in the history
of man. No one can turn back or stay the
march of Providence. No sentiment of de
spair may mix with our sorrow. We owe it
to the memory of the dead';' we owe it to the
cause of popular liberty-throughouttheworldi
that the sudden crime which has- taken the
life of the President of the, , United. States
shalllnet prodithe the least inipediment in the
smooth' course cif public affairs. This greet
city; in the midst of unexampled emblems of
grief, has, sustained itself with ,
composure and magnanimity. It has nobly
Idone its part in guarding against the derange
orient of, business or the slightest shock.to
public, credit.% The enemies• of thd Republic
it io the severeat trial, but the voice of
- faction has not been heard doubt and de
spondency have been unknown:. In 'serene
Majesty the country rises in the beauty and
strength, and hope of youth, and proves to
the world the quiet energy and the:durability
...of institutions growing out of the_reason:and
affections of thepeople. Heaven has willed
it that the United States shall live. The
tions of the earth cannot spare them. -
All the worn-out aristocracies 'of 'Europe
saw in the, spurious feudalism of slavehold
ing their .strongest outpost, and banded
themselvei together with'the . 'deadly enetnies
of our national life. If the Old World will

The duty of the hour is incomplete, our
mourning is insincere, if, while we express
unwavering trust in the great ; principles that
underlie our Government, we de not 'also give
our support to the man to whom the people
have entrusted its a dministration.
Anarew Johnson is now,'bythe Constitu
don, the President of the United States, and
he Stands before the world as the most con
spicuous representative of the industrial
classes. Left an orphan at four - years old,
poverty and toil were his steps-. to honor.
His youth was not passed in the halls of col
leges ; nevertheless,_. he has • received a
thorough political education in statesman
ship in the school of the people wall by• long
experience in pnblic life. A age func
tionary member successively of each branch
of the Tennessee Legislature, heariugit m with
'thrill of joY the words,

I be preserved ;" a-representative in Congress
for successive years; Governor of the, great
State of. Tennessee, approved as its. G-overnor.
*by reitlection ; he was, at the opening of the
rebellion, a senator . from that Se i enators Con
gress:. Then at-the Capital, when tat S,
unrehuked by, the Government, sent word by
telegram to seize forts and arsenals, he
what
alone
from-that Southern region
on told` them
the Government did not dare to tell them,
that they were traitors, and deserved the
punishment of treat on. Undismayed by a
perpetual purpose of public sties to take
his life, bearing up against theill 'greater
trial of the persecution 'of his wife and chil
dren, in due time he went back to his State,
determined to restore it to the Union, or die
with the American flag for his winding-sheet.
And now, at the call .of the United States,
he has returned to Washington as a conqueror,
with Tennessee as a free State 'for - his trophy.
It remains forhim to consummate the 'vindi
cation of the Union.
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1865.
To that Union Abraham Lincoln has fallen
a maqyr. His death, which was meant to
sever it beyond repair, binds it more closely,
and more firmly than ever. The, blow aimed
at him was aimed not at the native of Ken
tucky, not at the citizen of Illinois, but at the
man who, as President, in the executive
branch of the Government, stood as the re
presentative of every aaanin the United States.
The object of the crime was the life of the
whole people; and it wound s the affections of
the whole people. From Maind 'to the south
west boundary on the Pacific it
rea,,„es us one.
The country may have needed an imperisha
ble grief to touch its inmost feelin t The
grave that receives the remains of 'Lincoln,
receives the martyr to the. Union ; the monu
