of III!note, In Introducing the Illinois delexetioa,
spoke in 'high praise of Mr. Lincoln, and express.
ed In behalf of the delegation the tallest coon:
deuce ItrMr. Johnson's abilities to coadact the
affairs of the Bailor, and pledged him the earnest

had not anti ipated 'thrriallit of he aid- .

me. The expression of the conddeade of lad

like that'before me, repres/nting a . grest-cont,

thi y
the deepest sorrow, were It posialble to em
body In fiords the feeling of my bosom, I could
t,ot command my life to utter them.
Perhaps the best, reply I could make, and the
Cane moss appthualate tit your Mad assuraneee of
confident°, woOld be to receive them in silence.
The tbrglabings of my heart since the sad catas
' trophe Which bee - appalled tts, cannot be reduced
to words; and, oppressed es I am with the new
and great responaibtlides which have dot,ived
upon me, and saddened with grief. I can with
dlftichlty respond to you at at. But I cannot
permit such expreethms of cohOdeuco reposed
In me by the people to pass without an ackeowl
edgment to anindlvidual like myself, who has
never claimed much, but who has. it is trios, re
. aired Item a generous people many mates of
Won and honor for a lout time.
On an occasion like this, .the manifestation of
the public , feeling, Is well-tinted ps_ab aly
acceptstaC. Springing from the people myself,
' every pulsation of this`p polar bras finals an
luinsedidte answer In my own. B.v msay man
in public life such occasions are often cons, bar
ed merely formal; to me they ore rest. Your
words of countenance and eneourincement sink
deep In toy heart, and were I ever a co ward, .1
could but gather from them strength to carry
out my cony:ethane, of right.
Thus feellng,,l shall enter upon the discharge
of my ereat duty, firmly and eteadfastiy, If not
with the signal ability exhibited -by my prede
cessor, stbiele is still fresh in nor sorrowlath
tubed'. Need I repeat that no heart feels more.
sensibly than mine this great atllietlon. Ia
what I say on this occasion I shalt Indrilv in
no party spirit or anger, to feeling of revenue.
But we Ainve beheld a notable event. In4ho his
trey of resokind., hi the raid: t of the dinericae
people, whereekery citizen is taught to obey the .
, taw andribserrethe roles of Christian conduct,
our Chmflalagistrate, beloved of all hearts, has
been assitir.. Inatett; and when we trace this crime
tolls Gene -w hen we - reinember the source
whence thohosassin drew .his brpiration,, then
leek at the result, we attend let mate II9(.012-
Ished at thle most barbarous, this most
eel aaseaisination. Snell a erimeas the murder
of i great and good man,. honored and revered
and beloved, and the hope of the people, spring*
nogat sere from a solitary Individual or ever so
desperath wickedness. We can trace its cause
j.tlartsugh successive steps, 'without my
enumcrai
tag them hare, back to that metre which Is the
'Tango( all our W 603. No one can say, that if
the perpetrator of this fiendish deed be arrested,
Is should not undergo, the extreme penalty the
law knows bow for the crime. None will say that
un icy should interpose. Bat is be alone guiAll

in o ral terms I would say, that public mor

'native Is not. used to relieve a few at the ca
pture of Many. Be mimed I shell never-forget
t tat I em not to consult my own feelings alone,
lot to give an account to the whole people.
In regard to my future course I will now
make no pledges. I have been connected some

toryof my:post pabfle acts, which Is familiar ,te
you. - I refer for thos e prineipba which have cov

'aft.-r: ! ' •
In geberal I will say,that I have long labored for
the annlioration and elevation of the great masa
of mankind. 113 opinion as to the natura of pop.
ular government having long been cherished, aad

to change them. I believe that government wan

r tr. g,gle of the pcopleagalnst the mostgiganttero.
lAilion the world ever saw, ha, demonstrated that
the attachment of the people to their government
Is the strongest detiense that human wisdom can
lee. do long as the rich man feels that tha
Interests of the gLceiument are his intertats, so
ion:, es the public heart tome in the right dime

the theory of cur government, and lava of

If the time ever cornea when the people shall

the vicissitudes of nearly a century It may be
that it 1410 aececeary for on to pass through the
ordeal of inte,tine atrl'e to prove that thin Gov
ernment will not perish from 'mensal weakaess,
but will atand able to defend Itself egainit all
foes and punish treason.
In the dealings of an inscrutable Providence
and by the operation of the Constitation. I have
been thrown unexpectedly Into the position. My
put ilfe dad especially my course during the
• present unholy rebellion, Is before'-you. 1 have
no ploclples to retract. I defy, any one to point
to anyone of toy public acts at variance with the
fined principles which have guided me through
life. I have no professions to offer. Profeulpna

time. No one can forme the circumatances
that will hereafter arise. llsd any man gifted
with preselesce four years ago, uttered and
written down In advance the events of this per

I ehall not attempt to anticipate the future.
As events occur, and It becomes necessary to

feel the less the Cation has sustained In tha
death of the Illustrious mat whom a nation now
mourns. We pow co-operate with our fellow
citizens in rendering any testimonial of respect

the Union, and the preserver of the Union, wilt
stand in bold relief as long as liberty has a foot
hold on oath. t The names of Washington and
Lincoln will he blended together. When the
heats of party pusion have abated, and detrac

will live in the grateful and tiowerfal hearts of
Ids countrymen, and in the respect 'of theniv
