EVENING BULLETIN.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12. 1866
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Fifty-seven years ago to-day a poor
boy was born in a log-cabin in an un
settled country in the heart of Ken
tucky. One year ago to-day the Con
gress of the United States officially
notified that poor boy that he had been
for the second time elected President of
the American Republic; and to-day
Congress assembled, upon the birth-day
of Abraham Lincoln, to pay its official
tribute of respect to his momory. Ten
months have passed away since that
cruel Light when he fell a martyr to the
cause of the country, whose life he
had saved, and eyes still glisten and
bosoms still heave with emotion at the
remembrance of the awful deed.
In the presence of the representatives
of our own government and of the gov
ernments of Europe, Mr. Bancroft has
pronounced his eulogy upon Mr.
Lincoln; but nothing that pen can write
or oratory proclaim can contribnte a
single leaf to the laurels with which the
world has already crowned, or add one
cubit to the stature in which he is
destined to stand upon the pages of
History. We have before expressed our
regret that neither Judge Holt nor Mr.
Stanton could find the time to pronounce
Mr. Lincoln's eulogy upon this impos_
ing occasion. The positions they have
occupied in relation to him gave them
the rarest opportunity to speak of and
for him, and the country identifies them
so intimately with Mr. Lincoln's illus
trious career, that their tribute of affec
tion and respect for their great chief
would have been particularly grateful to
people at large.
In his historical character the "birth
days" of Abraham Lincoln begin to-day,
and to this "Twelfth of February" the
future generations of the American
people will look back, as long as the
republic , shall last, as marking the epoch
of the greatest of American Presidents.
It is the tendency of great events to
dwarf all the actors in them, save those
who are really great. This rule of
History has been perfectly illustrated in
our late war. Of all the millions of
men who have been actively engaged in
it, how few are really to live in History.
The magnitude of the war has swal
lowed up one man after another who for
a time promised to achieve greatness.
The" advancing tides of the sea do not
more surely surmount and obliterate the
little sand-hills on the shore than did
the swelling billows of such times as
ours have been, as they rose with
grander and grander proportions
until the civilized world stood aghast at
the huge dimenSions of our civil strife.
Common men cannot become great in
such times as these. And so we see, as
the storm has lulled, and the clouds
have cleared away, only a little , handful
of all these millions, who have achieved
-greatness. And of, this little band,
Abraham Lincoln stands out morally
and politically, as he did physically,
-chief of them all.
Abraham Lincoln is yet too near to
us to permit us thoroughly to measure
bim with the men of the past. But this
much we know, as a fixed principle of
buman History, that his present great
ness is only the shadow of what the fu
ture will make it. Thereis a subtle pro
TOWER HALL,
No. 518 Market Street,
WINN= & CO.
A party of Virginia State Senators and
Delegates, headed by Mr. Baldwin,
Speaker of the House of Delegates, had
a formal interview with President John
son on Saturday. In the course of the
remarks of Mr. Baldwin he used the
following words:—
"Another great result alike accepted by
our people is the final overthrow of the in
stitution of slavery. This has been com
pleted by a constitutional amendment, the
binding force of which is universally ad
mitted; for although we were not represented
in the Congress by which it was proposed,
the failure to be represented was of our own
choice. The condition of the freedmen
among us, and the policy to be adopted with
regard to them, will be recognized by you
as calling for the exercise of the highest
faculties of the statesman and the best feel
ings of the Christian philanthropist."
Mr. Baldwin had better continue on
further North and come on a mission of
enlightenment to the Copperhead orators
and presses of this section. Taking their
cue from the old times talk of their old
Southern masters, their great staple in
trade is admiration of slavery and de
nunciation and ridicule of the negro.
There is no considerable party in the
North to whom this disgusting twaddle
can be acceptable, and it is, of course,
gotten up principally for the Southern
market. How must its getters-up feel
when a regularly authorized mouth-piece
of Virginia declares in a carefully pre
pared speech that slavery has been right
fully abolished, and that the condition
of the freedman calls for the exercise of
"the best feelings of the Christian phi
lanthropist?" Mr. Baldwin should cer
tainly come North, and preach abolition
ism, and merciful consideration for the
unfortunate to a party whose only capi
tal in business was destroyed by the de
struction of slavery, and who are show
ing a Bourbon-like inability to forget
anything old or to learn anything new,
and who a:re floundering abaut among
their prostrate idols while the world is
moving majestically forward.
Having been invited to attend what might
be called a rehearsal of the experiments
illustrative of the lecture on Refraction, we
propose to offer a few remarks suggested by
the exhibition.
A lecture on light must be brilliant if
adequately exemplified. In the present in
stance the huge lantern and gigantic lenses
which the Professor has had constructed Tr
his use, afforded facilities of this nature,
which, when backedby a powerful Oxy
hydrogen light, could hardly' be improved.
A great luminous circle of forty feet or
more in diameter was thrown on the scene,
and on the face of this sun-like disk, all the
objects represented were painted by the
quick fingers of the flame, with a brilliancy
and sharpness of outline aqsolutely perfect.
A long silver arrow,which lay as distinct as
if held in the hand, was snapped and
broken by the refracting glass interposed,as
clearly as if fractured by a shivering blow
dealt to a brittle pipe stem.
The most curious and novel part of the
performance was that in which the w‘ter
tank was introduced. The whole face of the
screen is filled with the image of a mass of
liquid. Into the crystal receptacle certain
tinctures or chemical agents are injected, and
at once the most beautiful and stri king effects
follow. Clouds of varied hues roll and
tumble arid chase each other about the
screen as if some terrific storm was career
ing through the sky, or some volcano belch
inf forth its smoky breath. After the whole
face of the screen has become black and
rayless, flashes of golden light will appear
and work their way about, dispersing the
gloom and at last restafing the screen to its
original brightness.
Our limits will not allow even an enumer
ation of the various experiments which
were added to those just noticed. They
were very various, beautiful, and to the
Point; while the concluding exhibition of
dissolving views was in itself a rare treat
to the lover of art, as well as an instructive
lesson to the scientific student.
We sincerely hope that a fine night • and
a full house)will again greet the lecturer,
and encourage him in his laudable endea
vors to instruct as well as to entertain the
community.

cess of refinement which Time carries
on, upon the great characters of the
world, which rounds and smoothes and
polishes them as they recede into the
Past, until the little -defects, which
seemed to mar the beauty of the out
line, in the eyes of contemporary judges,
are all lost from view, and the grand
proportions stand out, fixed in an eter
nal Fame. This also 'we know, as we
contemplate Abrahain Lincoln's char
acter. His growth as a public man was
all his Own. The stature which places
him in the very sunlight of the world's
regard rests upon no pedestal but his
own native worth. His feet stand upon
the virgin soil , of the Western prairies,
and upon that foundation he rises to the
sublimity of hisglorious career, the pure
product of American institutions, the
unmixed type of American character.
The pedestal of early advantages, of
polished associations, of- thorough edu
cation, of wealth,of patronage of heredi
tary gifts, makes up the greater meas
ure of the stature of many of those who
shine moat illustriously in History.
None of these adventitious aids lent a
helping hand to Abraham Lincoln. He
stands upon no pedestal but the solid
base' of American soil.
We who write, and most of those
who read, will not live to see the char
acter of Abraham Lincoln as it is to
shine upon the pages of History; and yet
there are those who, with a personal re
collection of his life and death, will 11 , ie
to verify in the next generation the es
timate that a grateful people already
places upon the man who was great,
even amidst the stormy grandeur of
events which tried to the uttermost the
qualities of the public men of America,
and showed to the attentive world what
manner of spirit they were of.
