■HrpnlL The President was led along by the Bpßgreatness of their self-sacrificing example; PMand, as a child, in a dork night, on a rugged aSI iway, catches hold of the hand of its father for HHks guidance and support, he clung fast to the 111 hand of the people, and moved calmly through 11$ the gloom. While the statesmanship of Eu- Bgf rope was scoffing at the hopeless vanity of (Bill their efforts, they put forth such miracles of P energy as the history of the world bad never It known. The Navy of the United States Sfj drawing into the public service the willing militia of the seas, doubled its tonnage in £ eight months, and established an actual block pi ade from Cape Hattsras to the Rio Grande; K in the course of the war it was increased five- IBIP ' n man and in tonnage, while ths inveu |jE|jf tive genius of the country devised more ef- K fective kinds of ordnance, and new forms of BEr naval architecture in wood and iron. There IBlilf went into the field, for various terms of ser '|p , ' vice, two million men; and in March last- the I; men in service exceeded a million; that is to si: sav. one of every two able-bodied men took jrSi some part in the war; and at one time every H&1 fourth able-bodied man was in the field. In ft one single month, one hundred and sixty-five ;f thousand were recruited into service. Once. WBm:- within four weeks, Ohio organized and placed 1 in the field forty-two regiments of infantry— nearly thirty-six thousand men; and Ohio was like other states in the East and West. 3 The well mounted cavalry numbered eighty- R|L four thousand; of horses there were bought, ■j||| L first and last, two-thirds of a million. In the | movements of troops science came in aid of patriotism; so that, to choose a single instance ■§l| out of many, an army twenty-three thousand ■li|| strong, with its artillery, trains, baggage, and k animus, were moved by rail from the Poto- I mac to the Tennessee, twelve hundred miles, in seven days. In the long marches, wonders Msg| of military construction bridged the rivers: Ssl and whenever an army halted, ample supplies Sgi- awaited them at their ever changing base, fppi The vile thought that lite is the greatest of |i| il. blessings did not rise up. In six hundred I and twenty-five battles and severe skirmishes blood flowed like water. It streamed over the grassy plains; it stained the rocks; the Bpll undergrowth of the forest was red with it; and the armies marched on with majestic courage from one conflict to another, knowing that they were fighting for God and liberty, The ||p- organization of the medical department met its infinitely multiplied duties with exactness lip" and despatch. Besides, at the news of a bat tle the best surgeons of our cities hastened to the field to offer the zealous aid of the great- Ic . est experience and skill. The gentlest and B||i most refined of women left homes of luxury and ease to build hospital tents near the ar mies, and serve as nurses to the sick and dy ing. Our men were fighting for God and lib erty. Besides the large supply of religious teachers by the public, the congregations spared to their brothers in the field the ablest ministers of the Jand. Tne Christian Com mission, which-expended five and a half mil lions, sent four thousand clergymen, chosen out of the best, to keep unsoiled the religious character of the men, aud made gifts of clothes and food and medicine. The organi zation of private charity assumed unheard of dimensions. The Sanitary Commission, which had seven thousand societies, distpibu ted under the direction of an unpaid board, spontaneous contributions to the amount of fifteen millions, in supplies or money—a mil lion and a half in mouey from California alone —and dotted the scene of war faoiu Paducah to Port Royal, from Belle Plain, Virginia, to Brownsville, Texas, with homes and lodges. TitE EMANCIAATION PROCLAMATION. 16|j r .... The country had for its allies the river Mis sissippi, which would not be divided, and the range of mountains which carried the strong- M hold of the free through Western Virginia and Kentucky and Tennessee to the highlands of Alabama. But it invoked the still higher power of immortal justice. In ancient Greece, where servitude was the universal custom, it was held that if a child were to strike its pa | rent, tha slave should defend the parent, and by that act recover hts freedom. After vain resistance, Liornln, who bad tried to Solve the question by gradual emancipation, by coloni zation, and by compensation, at last saw that slavery must be abolished, or the republic must die, and on the first day of January, , I 1863, he wrote liberty on the banners of the j armies. When this proclamation, which struck the fetters from three millions of slaves, reached Europe. Lord Russell, a countryman ot Milton and Wilberforce, eagerly put him self forward to speak of it in the name of mankind, saying. "It is of a very strange na ture;'" "a measure of war of a very question able kind;" an act "of vengeance on theslave owner" that does no more than "profess to emancipate slaves where the United States authorities cannot make emancipation a real ity." Now there was no part of the country embraced in the proclamation where the Uni ted States could not and did not make eman cipation a reality. Those who saw Lincoln most frequently had never before heard him speak with bit terness of any human being; but he did not conceal how keenly he felt that he had been wronged by Lord Russell. And he wrote, in replp to another caviller "The emancipation policy and the use of colored troops were the greatest blows yet dealt to the rebellion. The job was a great national one; and let none be slighted who bore au honorable part in it. I hope peace will come soon, and come to stay; then will there be some black men who can remember that they have helped mankind to this great consummation." RUSSIA AND CHINA. The proclamation accomplished its end ffor, during the war, our armies came into military possession of every state in rebel lion. Then, too, was called forth the new power that comes from the simultaneous dif fusion of thoaght and feeling among the na tions of mankind. The mysterious sympathy of the millions throughout the world was giv en spontaneously. The best writers of Eu rope waked the conscience of the thoughtful, till tha intelligent moral sentiment of the Old World was drawn to the side of the unletter ed statesman of the Wast. Russia, whose Emperor had just accomplished one of the grandest acts in the course of time by raising twenty millions of bondmen into freeholders, and thus assuring the growth and culture of a Russian people, remained onr unwavering friend. From the oldest abode of civilization, which gave the first example of an imperial government with, equality among the people, Prince Kung, ths Secretary of State for I or eign Affairs, remembered the saying of Con fucius, that we should not do to others what we would not that others should do to us, and in the natne of the Emperor of Chißa closed its ports against the war ships and privateers of "the seditions-" # CONTINUANCE OF THE WAR. The war continued, with all the peoples of the world for anxious spectators. Its shares Weighed heavily on Lincoln, and his face was ploughed with the farrows of thought and sad Bess. With malice towards none, free from the spirit of revenge, victory made him importunate for peace; and his enemies never doubted Lis word, or despaired of his abounding clemency. He longed to utter pardon as the word for all. but not unless the freedom of the negro should be assured. The grand battles of Mill Spring which gave us Nashville, of Fort Donelson Malvern Hill, Antietum, Gettysburgh, the Wilderness of Virginia Winchester, Nashville, the cap ture f New Orleans, Yickburg, Mobile, Fort Fisher, the march trom Atlanta, and the capture of Savannah and Charleston, all foretold the issue. Still more, the self-re generation of Missouri, the heart of the con tinent; of Mainland, whose sons never heard the midnight Delis chime so sweetly as when they rang out to earth and heaven that, by the voice of her own people, she took her place among the free: of Tennessee, which passed through fire and blood, through sor rows and the shadow of death to work out her own deliverance, and by the faithfulness of her own tons to renew her youth like the eagle—proved that victory was deserved, and would be worth all that it cost. If words of meny, uttered as they were by Lincoln on the waters of Virgina, were defiantly repell ed, the armies of the country, moving with one will, went, as the arrow to its mark, and without a feeling of revenge, struck a deatb- LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION. Where, in the history of nations, had a chief magistrate possessed mora sources of consolation and joy than Lincoln? His_ country men had shown their love by choosing him to a second term of service. The raging war that had dividad the country had lulled: and private grief was hushed by tha grandeur of its results. The nation had its new birth of freedom, aoon to be secured forever by an a mendment of the Constitution. His persis tent gentleness had conquered for him a kind lier feeling on the part of the Soutn. His scoffers among the grandees of Europe began to do him honor. The laboring classesevery wbere aaw in his advancement their own. All people sent him their benedictions. And at the moment of the height of fame, to which his hnmillity and modesty added charms, he feli by the hand of the assassin: and the only triumph awarded him was the march to the grave. THE GREATNESS OF MAN. This is no time to say that human glory is but dust to ashes, that we mortals are no more than shadows. Howmean a thing were man, if there were not that within him which is higher than himseif —if he could not master the illusions of sense, and discern the con nections of events by a superior light which comestrom God. Heso shares the divine impul ses that he has no power to subject interested passions to love of country, ana personal am bition to the ennoblement of man. Not in vain has Lincoln lived, for he has helped to makb this republic an example of justice with no caste but the cast of humanity. The heroes who led our armies and ships into battle— Lyon, McPherson, Reynolds, Sedgwick, Wadsworth, Foote, Ward, with their com peers—and fell in the service, aid net die in vain; they and the myrirads of nameless mar tyrs, and he, the chief martyr, died willingly, "that government of the people, by the peo ple, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." THE JUST DIED FOR THE UNJUST. The assassination of Lincoln, who was so free from malice, has by some mysterious in fluence, struck the country with solemn awe, aud hashed, instead of exciting, the passi n of revenge. It seems as if the just had died for the unjust. When I think of the friends I have lost in this war —and every one who hears me has, like myself, lost those whom he most loved —there is no consolation to be derived from victims on the, scaffold, or from any thing but the established union of the regen erated nation. CHARACTER OF LINCOLN. lii his character, Lincoln was through and through an American. He is the first native of the region west of the Alleghanies to at tain to the highest station; and how happy it is that the man who was brought forward as the natural outgrowth aud first fruits of that region should have been ef unblemished purity in privae life, a good son, a kind hus band. a most affectionate father, and, as a man, so gentl toe all. As to integrity, Dong las, his rival said of him, "Lincoln is the honestest man I ever knew." The habits of his mind were those of meditation and inward thought, rather than of action. He excelled in logical statement, more than in executive ability. He reasoned clearly, his reflective judgment was good, and his purposes were fixed; but, like the Hamlet of his only poet, his will was tardy in action: and for this reason, and not from humility or tenderness of feeling, he some times deplored that the duty which devolv ed on him had not fallen to the lot of anoth er. He was skillful in analysis; discerned with precision the central idea on which a question tuined, and knew how to disengage it and present it by itself in a few homely, strong old English words that would be in telligible to all. He delighted to express his opinions by apothegm, illustrate them by a parable, or drive them home by a story. Lincoln gained a name by discussing ques tions which of all others, most easily lead to fanaticism; but he was never carried away by enthusiastic zeal, never indulged in extravagant language ; never hurried to support extreme measures, never allowed himself to lie controlled by sudden impulses. During the progress of the election at which he was chosen President, he express ed no opinion that went beyond the Jefferson proviso of 1784. Like Jefferson and Lafa yette, he had faith in the intuitions of the people, and read those intutions with rare sagacity. He knew bow to bide his time, and was less apt to te in advance of public opinion than to lag behind. He never sought to electrify the public by taking an advanced position with a banner of opinion; but rather studied to move foward compact ly, exposing no detachment in front or rear; so that the course of his administration might have been explained as the calculating policy of a shrewd and watchful politician, had there not been seen behind it a fixedness of principle which from the first determined his purpose and grew more intense with every year, consuming his life by its energy. Yet his sensibilities were not acute, he had no vividness of imagination to picture to his mind the horrors of the battle field or the sufferings in hospitals; his conscience was more tender than his feelings. Lincoln was one of the most unassuming of men. In time of success, he gave credit for it to those whom he employed, to the people, and to the providence of God. He did not know what ostentation is; when he became President he was rather saddened than elated and his conduct and manners showed more than ever his belief that all men are born equal. He was no respecter of person ; and neither rank, nor reputation, nor services overawed him. In judging of character he failed in discrimination, and his appointments were sometimes bad; but he readily deferred to public opinion, and in appointing the head of the armies he followed the manifest pref erence of Congress. A good President will secure unity to his administration by his own supervisisn of the various departments. Lincoln, who accepted advice readily, was never governed by any member of his cabinet, and could cot be moved from a purpose deliberately formed; but his supervision of affairs was unsteady and incomplete; and sometimes, by a sudden interference transcending the usnal forms, he rather confused than advanced the public business. If he ever failed in the scrupulous regard due to the relative rights of Congress, it was so evidently without design that no conflict could ensue, or evil precedent be es tablished. Trath he wonld receive from any one ; but, when impressed by others, he did not use their opinions till by reflection he had made them thoroughly his own. It was the nature of Lincoln to forgive. When hostilities ceased, he who had always sent forth the flag with every one of its stars in the field, was eager to receive back his re turning countrymen, and meditated "some new announcement to the South." The amendment of the Constitution abolishing slavery had his most earnest and unwearied support. During the rage of war we get a glimpse into his soul from his privately sug ?;estiug to Louisiana that "in defining tne ranchise some of the colored people might be let in," saying; "They would probably help, in some trying time to come to keep the jewel of liberty in the family of freedom. In 1857 he avowed himself "not in tavor of what he improperly called "negro citizen ship for the Constitution discriminates between citizens and electors. Three days before his death he declared his preference that "the elective franchise were now confer red on the very intelligent of the colored men and on those of them who served our cause as soldiers;,'but he wished it done by the States themselves, and he never harbored the thoaght of exacting it from a new govern ment as a condition of its recognition. The last day of his life beamed with sun shine, and he sent by the Speaker of that House his friendly greeting to the men of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific slope; as he contemplated the return of hundreds of thou sands of soldiers to fruitful industry; as he welcomed in advance hundreds of thousands of emigrants from Europe; as his eye kin dled with enthusiasm at the coming wealth ot the nation. And so, with these thoughts for his country, he was removed from the tqils ami temptations of this lifq and was at poac* lULMERSTON AND LINCOLN. Hardly had the late President been con signed to the grave, when the Prime Minister ot England died, full of years and honors. Palmerston traced his lineage to the time of the conquor; Lincoln went back only to his grandfather. Palmerston received his edu cation from the best scholars of Harrow, Ed inburg and Cambridge; Lincoln's early teach ers were the silent forest, the prairie, the river and the stars. Palmerston was in pub lic life for sixty years: Lincoln for but a tenth of that time. "Palmerston was a skillful guide of an established aristocracy; Lincoln a er or rather a companion of the people. Pal merston was exclusively an Englishman, and made his boast in the House of Commons that the interest ofEngland washis shibbo'eth Lincoln thought always of mankind as well as his own country, aud served human nature itself. Palmerston, from his narrowness as an Englishman, did not endear his country to any one court or to any one people, but rath er caused uneasiness and dislike; Lincoln left America more beloved than ever by all the people of Europe. Palmerston was self-pos sessed and adroit in reconciling the_ conflict ing claims of the factious of the aristocracy; Lincoln, frank and ingenious knew how to poise himself on the conflicting opinions of the people. Palmerston was capable of in solence towards the weak, quick to the sense of honor, not heedful of right. Lincoln rejec ted counsel given only as a matter of policy and was not capable of being willfully unjust. Palmerston, essentially superficial, delighted in banter, and knew how to divert grave opposition by playful levity; Lin coln was a man of infinite jest on his lips, with saddest earnestness at his heart. Palmerston was a fair representative of the aristocratic liberality ot the day, choosing for his tribunal, not the conscience of humanity, but the House of Commons. Lincoln took to heart the eternal truths of liberty, obeyed them as the cofnmands of Providence, and accepted the human race as the judge of his fidelity. Palmerston did nothing that will endure: his great achievement, the separa tion of Belgium, placed that little kingdom where it must gravitate to France; Lincoln finished a work which all time cannot over throw. Palmerston is a shining example of the ablest of a cultivated aristocracy; Lin coln shows the genuine fruits of institutions where the laboring man shares and assists to form the great ideas and designs of his coun try. Palmerston was buried in Westminster Abby by the order of bis Quaen, and was followed by the British aristocracy to his grave, which after a few years will hardly be noticed by the side of the graves of Fox and Chatham; Lincoln was followed by the sor row of his couutry across the continent to his resting place in the heart of the Mississippi valley, to be remembered through all time by his countrymen, and by all the peoples of the world. CONCLUSION. As the sum of all the hand of Lincoln rais ed the flag: the American people was the hero of the war; and therefore the result is a new erea of republicanism. The disturban ces in the country grew not out of anything republican, but out of slavery, which is a part of the system of hereditary wrong; and the expulsion of this domestic anomaly opens to the renovated nation a career of unthought of dignity aud glory. Henceforth our country has a moral unity as the land of free labor. The party for slavery and the party against slavery are no more, and are merged in the party of union and freedom. The states which would have left us are not brought back as conquered states, for then we should hold them only so long as that conquest could be maintained; they come to their rightful place under the constitution as original, necessary and inseparable members of the state. We build monuments to the dead, but no monuments of victory. We respect the ex ample of the Romans, who never; even in conquered lands, raised emblems of triumph. And our generals are not to be classed in the herd of vulgar conquerors, but are of the school of Timoleon and William of Orange and Washington. They have used the sword only to give peace to their country and res tore her to her place in the great assembly of the nations. Our meeting closes in hope, now that a people begins to live according to the laws of reason, and republicanism is en trenched in a continent. J OHN DICKENS AUCTIONEER.

It wilt urge the Protection of Home Industry by discriminating duties on Foreign Products im ported, with a view to drawing hitber the most capable and skillful artificers and aitisans of Eu rope, and the naturalizing on our soil of many branches of production hitherto all but confined to the Old World, while it would strengthen and extend those which have already a foothold among us.
