Suomi, F. R CIIA9DLEI4 Committee ontrrangernents. W. E. Jcsatre, 1 1 E. C. FORDILLA MosTaOsa, April 22, 18e5. (7entlemen: The address yon requeated me to We, and request now for publication, was written In a brief and hauled Interval, to meet the bony. If It may serve a larger Purpose, I place It herewith at porn-disposal Ilery truly yenta, Mut.roarr. Today Is the witness of a Nation's grief. The sorrow of life Is In death. There Is pathos, when the shrouded figure comes, and its cold hand Dad in exorable mandate, is laid upon one in a house, or a neighborhood, or a city; but tq.day proclaimt the accumulated grief of a mighty people, and there break forth the many voices of a Nation's sorrow! From the far North to the far West; from theAthustle to the Pacific,. from the mountains to the prairies, from the wide country, from the crowded city, from the field of vast armies, rises to-day ,the sound of a Nation's lamentation ! The aoleMn rut:ere:it pageant, the long unending procession, the mulled drum beat, the dead march, the draped flag, the minute guns, slow booming from fort fo fort—whose sullen echoes sweep from ship and battlement—all these proclaim a universal sorrow. The great leader at the people has fallen ! The foremost man of his country sleeps in death! . The hour of high and tumtiltnousjoy is broken by Sorrow. The glad exultation, that came with the swift news of success, Is blended with heavy grief. We weave with the laurel wreath of victory and palm of triumph, the cypress flower. Our eyes as they are lifted to the flag which.:.' waves at last in cer tain victory, are dimmed with_teartr, for the great standard besrer is taken from 125 forever. He passes out from the gates of the Mansion of the President at the Capital, for the last time. "We bury the mat dead, . With a people'' , lamentation. We bury the great dead, To the noise of the mourning of a mighty nation. " Lead out the pageant sad and slow, As fits a universal woe, Let the long, long procession go, • And let the sorrowing crowd about It grow, And let the mount:Ll martial musk blow, The people's leader Is laid loW." In tech an hour brief and imperfect must. be the words which seek to hive utterancato out common sorrow. When - a great whaler rose once, to give his ordinary address, niter a deep affliction had been laid upon him, ' hepaused.and as,he buried his face in his hands, said,l cannot read, In the darkness of the shadow of death." Very broken meat be the words in which, in fulfillment of the duty to which you have called me, I may endettvoe to bring before you any portraiture of this chaticter, or to pass any fitting , enloginm upon him who Is In all your thoughts. Abraham Lincoln was a man of the American peo ple. He was a product of the American soil, OS genuine as the American Pine, and unmistakable as the granite of New England. No other nation could have taken that rude unlettered boy from a western farm house, and a life of toil and border. warfare, and wrought out that grand, stalwart, honest man hood. And yet the qualities developed in that long discipline were to become the great characteristics of his life. The steady triumph of honest endeavor, the calm persistency of purpose, the determination that, once conceived, held on 'through all difficul ties, were to be moulded into his whole character. The patient endurance, the unswerving energy, the sure force of 'spirit, are to be knit into a tough strong Ohre. Thence also is to =me that deep hu man sympathy with all the cares and conflicts of common men. Thence is to to formed that simple but large humanity, that kindness of heart which is to always hold him closely to the hearts of men. Gentleness is blended with strength. Around the stunt form of the oak are twined the tendrils of deli cate flowers and vines. In the fragmentary incidents of this period, we read his character and find the illustrations of his progress. The few books which he can find are studiously conned, while his work goes on. A month's toil will pay for a vol ume. And then bow reverently, away in that for est country, does he solemnize the last service of earth for his aged mother. By: slow steps he ad vances in the study of the law,. and only leaVes It, in the hoar of need, to join a company called out in that border warfare, who make him their captain. This tano school in which to form courtly manners and an exterior grans, but there will come from It the simple dignity of a self-respected manhood, and a sincerity of noble action, Which no school can teach, He will be trained to no subtle diplomatic art, to no skilful intrigue In statecraft, but to what is better, en honesty of purpose; &deference for hu manity, a faith In a law of right; which is not state craft, but the foundation of statesmanship. He gains also a dexterous and ready use Of things, a wonder ful knack and shrewdness in affairs, a knowledge of men, which will serve him by add by. Ile grows up Into the spirit...Of American Institu tions, and of the American -people. There are around him no memorials of 'dynastic power, no signs of Imperial sway, but there is the life of the American State. Its great principles of equality, of the sacredness of civil and national obligations, of obedience to laws, are wrought him. Row faith fully does ho hold the great principles of our na tional development, how lovingly and reverently does be cherish the early memorials of our historic growth—that fidelity which afterward he Is to hold through the gloom and trial of the greatest civil war In history, that love and reverence for the na tion's unity and life, which is to maintain it against the traitors' plot, and the passionate attack of parricidal bands. The later years bring but therdevelopment of the same charaetertstici. There l throughout a true consistency. He flees slowly grid steadily to emi nence In the profession of the law. He alms not to be en adept in its shifts and intrigues but shows in all his afteriork, the patient grasp of Its great plan elides. He gains that mastery ',Ol logic, which the petty Intrigue ors dishonest Wed can neverrcacti— that logic which Is bean only hi:on Just and noble thought. In taro civic contest with Douglas, he shows the forecast °flits Intellect. We know not whether to admire more the logical power with which he met a subtle and deztenens opponent, orthe great saga& tylwith which he foresaw the perils, of our political condition. That civic tournament must become memorable In our history. And It was conducted by him with such faience, each freedom - from all that was petsonal, such amenity, that when he goes to Waibingten, his greet antagonist becomes his strongest supporter. As we piss to his morel Spirit, we find that it is characterized by personal conscientiousness, and fidelity to right He huh the foundation of all noble personal character , of all high Indleidual- Ism in obedience to the individual conscience. i Ile s slow and careful and paLestaking in his judg meats, but when gained they htild the firmness of righteous conviction. lie IS open to all light, will feel his way as well as See It, and make his deter mimition stand in the midst ofiagttation. Its faith is in the eternal. Its righteousness is in a trust In the living God It is Ullarighteouss which ands analqty in no other great leader of modem history but Cromwell, and the statesmen of the English commonwealth—that noblest eta In England's- an nals. It le the righteousness which has been wrought into the solemn ages of Illatory; which his laid the foundation of ell that le enderiaz in time: The theo ries and systems of men cannot past, it. The dog ma, o f m en cannot teach it. It ts formed In living action, in the grand fidelity of man to the laws of his lieing,and the InapiritlOn of God. Righte ousness, with this Man, is law' and Inspiration. It was tele high trust; this sincerity of purpose, which Made his public life one long endeavor of duty. Through straggle dud 'suffering; and deepest human sympathy, his way was sought.',; He seemed to bear in himself the sorrow and agony of the country. He felt the grief ot . the lonely bousebobli. lie fluid s "INA know, in tbia wag, I ant: A private sailer," and with eed -reputed thine worths, FE= coatirspoNDENcr.. ADDRESS. " Freedom and Right against talaNtexy "and WrOnge" MONTROSE, SUSQ. CO., PA., TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1865. "Whichever way the conflict turns, I feel that I shall not survive it lone,"' and the lines of that worn and weary face bore the traces of close and patient vigilance, and the marks of many cares. It was well indeed that In a chtwuctcr of each careful and conscientious sineerity, there should be some relief else human nature could scarcely have held its weight. And there wan in him a quaint and' kindly humor, a fresh and genial wit, which was the balance of character, and brought the needed respite to the long pressure of duty, and unceasing concern. It has been said by a profound critic of Shakespeare, that the spirit which held the woe of Lear and the tragedy of Hamlet, would have broken, had it not had also the humor of the Merry Wives of Windsor nud the merriment of the Midsummer Night's bream. In the review of Mr. Lincoln's political spirit, we fled the same qualities—the firmness and fidelity of a righteous purpose. He was a plai n man, talking to plain men But there was a grand political wisdom, underlying his acts. He held firmly the great prin ciples, which are the foundation of tho order and process of all society; and maintained the or ganic unity and life of the nation with a trust and strength which no system can br ing—which only a Just faith can ever give. How many words lie has uttered, which will pass Into political aphorisms, brief sententious phrases that sum np a great his toric or economic principle. I think no other man, in our history, has uttered so many. When he says, " The nation has made the constitution, and not the constitution the nation," the sentence is worthy of Burke. And what better definition of American de mocracy has been glean, than that it Is "a govern ment of the people, by the people, for the people.". Or what more exact statement of Om great princi ple of equality is there, than when he says " every man hu the right to ho equal to every other man. " These are great truths, which will pass into our civil progress—solid blocks of political wisdom, which will be built into the rising tebric of the Republic. The crest temple of the liberties of America is built upon the foundations of national rights, and open to man; how- many a column that be has reared, how many stones that ho has wrought will he built Into Its walls. But the character of Mr. Lincoln and hie work would have been imperfect, had he not had also the highest moral element, the spirit of sacrifice. It Is that which has been the inspiring principle of father and mother and son who have given all for the maintenance of the nation's lite, for liberty, for humanity. And to show bow self-forgetful was his purpose, how deep and utter was his devotion to the great principle of the conflict, how fully with him It Was the lesson of every hour, let me call be fore you one scene of these °ventral years. It was that which marks the crisis of the war. It was the field of Gettysburg. There wens the graves of the thousands who bed fallen on that ground. But In the wide horizon they seemed to sweep away, and Join with the mounded grates of those who through this long war have fallen on a hundred fields. A vast assembly was gathered from all parts of the country to witness the solemn dedication of that un tlenal cemetery - . There was Mr. Everett. the repro sentative of all our schools. He spoke with charmed beauty. He called up the historic par- - alleis of Marathon and Salamis, but here was a greater field than Marathon, and the scene of conflict in which men waged mightier issues than at Salamis. He closed. But yet the vast congrega tion lingered. There was one word yet unspoken, one tone yet untouched. Then the tall form of the President slowly rose and with few and simple prefatory words, be said, "I cannot dedicate this cemetery, you cannot dedicate It, it Is for us only to be dedicated." And with those who there had given their lives In sacrifice, his life wits made one, and his spirit was hallowed In consecration with them. The word was spoken. The ceremony was ended. All felt as that sentence was uttered that the great lesson of the hour was given. It was the lesson of sacrifice—the devotion of life to humani ty, to God. it Is the word which has brought di vine strength to those who have been faithful unto death—to those whose voice we listen fur, whose hand we touch no more—to those for whose com• big again we wait and wait In vain—to those who walked these streets with us in glad companionship, but who sleep the sleep of broken youth on yonder hillside—to the great army of the nation's dead! But while those words of sefflorgotful devotion were spoken, he who uttered them knew not that they were to hays the witness of his own blood. On that day on which the church throughout all the world, commemorates the infinite sacrifice of the Rerun] Son, lie was to be called away, and tile life to be given fsr that righteous cause for which he bad striven so long. The cares and trials of the con flict, for him are ended. Greatly loved, and with the sorrow of millions, he enters his rest. Sleep on now, brave ',silent spirit ! Thy Work was well done The hour of our victory has come. The love and homage of a united people mourns thy fall. The solemnity of gathered multituces pr0 , i 4 10:15 over thy tomb the voice of a people for whom thou bast lived and died—the voice of the mightiest nation on this earth proclaims One solemn, FAREWELL AND PEACE AND EVEILLLSTINO U0Noli! As we pass to the position of Mr. Lincoln In his tory, we may speak but briefly. He was a man who had a great place to till, and he tilled it, lie stood in a great crisis of the world, and he stood as the friend of God and humanitythe helper In Christ's work.... For him the path of duty has been the path of glory. His greatness was that 'whin In a mcms. are each In his own place may attain. It was not founded upon the possession of rare and exclusive qualities, but upon the faithful use of those which belong to the common citizen. This is the lesson which his life should have for each of as. The emi nence of his later years was. characteritcd by the tame qualities, nnd rested on the same principles, which marked his earlier. A popular journal has drawn a comparison between him and the Caesar of Napoleon. But the great contrast is in this, that the one rises from and with the people, the other on the people. But as to the verdict which may be passed upon Min we may nut anticipate the tat tire. But history Is calm. Historr Is imparti.an. Bbe knows not malice, nor is moved by the changing passions of men. She looks in her wide sweat' to the life of nations rather than individuals. She hon ors men as they have been the builders and main tainers of nations; only those who have sought to tear down and destroy does she consign to Infamy. Upon the Amolds and Dacises and Lee. of history her judgment is that of shame and everlasting con tempt. Mr. Lincoln bad one great and simple path before him, as one who would he the maintainer of the nation, and steadily and unswervingly he followed it. Hs will stand In history with the grtltt ermstroctive workers, with those who built and did not destroy, who built for humanity, who built for time. He will have honor also, as be had power—for this, that he worked iu the spirit of his own age. The age rises toward freedom for all!; the same pulse beats In Italy, is Russia, In America. He, too, in and for freedom, has done the noblest work. Ile has striven for freedom, not fora caste, hat for man. Or, since to One only we may ascribe this great de liverance, we may say that us the time came he showed himself the faithful Minister of that Will, which was the Redeemer of the Hebrew through the 'Red Sea waves, which was to tie revealed in one Day as the same Redeemer of a People from a more degrading bondage. It Is Impressive to think tow grand and noble will be the place he will hold In the heafta of the African people. As they become, as become they wi.l, great and historic, still throngs all coming time, his name will be lint in their historic story. He is shrined there In the love and affection and fond memory of a race. He has in them a memorial more lasting than marble, and built up in richness which massy gold cannot emulate. The recollection of his work will be fresh, when the wreathe of storied sculptures are faded; and the light of affection will kindle and brighten at his name, when the lamps around a King's tomb are dead! His ma l e with them shall be an honed:mid word ! It shall be sung by the cradle of the child I It shall be the watchword of manly aspiration ! And with a whole people, once a race of slaves, but now men, soldiers, citizens, with love and lingering affection, It shall be repim'ed W the end of time How grand, to-day, aye, how sublime is the spectacle of their sorrow! When the chip-rots of ancient dynasties werehuried, to add to the pomp of the ceremonial, and to swell the funeral pageant, there were led to the procession the representatives of the peoples whom they had subjected to bondage. But in the procession of to-day, with a pageant of more solemn spihdor, will move the representatives of frier i millions of people, whom he has aided to become emancipate, regenerate, free! Let this attest the place, in history, in the heart of humanity itself, of this brave, faithful man, the leader of the people, the servitor of God! I have thus sought briefly to bring before Ton the ' larger outlines of this character. It will be for oth ers to give the wider signllicance of the occasion, and the lesson of the hour. There is ono thought to which I would advert. His death has come upon us with startling sudden nee*. He fails not in the order and course of nature, but by an act of wickednfts and (earful relme. It is terrible to know that into the fair pages pf our history is to pass the record of the most awful and tragic guilt. The great rebellion which was organ ized to, strengthen oppression, culminates In cow ardly murder. When furgivimes was extended to it, the mask falls from it, and reveals still Its character in the dark. malignity of reckless crime. Then swept over the country a feeling of righteous indigna tion, a cry for justice. It was in principle a right feeling- Let It be held, not with vindictiveness, nor the haste of passion, but with the deliberation of reason: It is a significant fact in the history of Judea, that when a ruler was too lenient to the wickedness of the people, he was suddmily removed and one of severer judgment was called t,o hisphice. We need a sterner, loftier Indignation 4tinst wrong. We need to knoW that crime is. crime, murder Is murder treason , Is teeseon .. Tfrre is a weak and maudlin sentimentalism which Piths topping of all rectitude. The majesty of law must be vindicated. The sanctions or Justice must be maintained. Let as hope that no, one would be das tardly enough thus to assail the life of .tho worst. culprit But they: who have lifted. their hands against the nation's life, must meet the award of their acts. Theirs is the greater.gailt as the heritage of the Fathers is more- sacred, and the life of the ca tion deeper and longer. Theirs Is a parricidal and plebiscidal decd. Jostle« and the rigida of humani ty, and the sacredness of law through all the future, arraign them before their high tribunal. Ber.s mir guided and betrayed people there is charity, Put for their leaders there may be none. They must Meet, the consequence of the darkest crime and guilt upon the gallows tree, and In that solemn hour, before the majesty of justice, history will soy, and let all Ctuint'a people say, amen. And let us pledge ourselves with • Sterner Indig nation against the crime of this rebellion, to retaz no effort, until the last vintage of its awful power and tafluence le effaced.

TIM FIRST CONCEPTION Or THE CRIES. Booth shrank at first from murder, until another and less dangerous resolution tailed. This was 110 less than the capture of the President's body, and lie detention or transportation to the Smith. Ido not rely for this assertion upon his soiled letter, where he avows It; there bars been found upon a street within the city limits a house. belonging to one Mrs. Greene, mined and furnished with under ground apartments, tarnished with manacles and all the accessories to private imprisonment. Here the President, acid as many as could he gagged and con veyed away with him, were to be concealed in the event of failure to run them into the Confederacy. owing to his failure to group around him as many men as he desired, Booth abandoned theproject of kidnapping; but the house wan discovered last week, as represented, ready to be blown up at a moment's notice.

All those who presented themselves were military men, unwilling to subordinate to a civilian and a mere play actor, and the mortified bravo found himself therefore compelled to sink to a petty rank in the plot, or to make use of tutee and despicable saalstanti . ills vanity found it easier to compound with the second alternative than the first.

These are loyal eititena elsewhere, but the western shore of 31uryland Is a noxious and pestilential place fur patriotism. The country Immediately outside of the District of Columbia, to the smith, is named Prince George's and the pleasantest village of this county, close to Washington, Is called Surrattnviile. ibis eonalsts of a few cabins at a cross-road, surrounding a tine old hotel, the master whereof, giving the settlement his name, left the property to his wile, who for long time carried It on with indifferent success.— Dating a eon and several daughters, she moved to Washington soon after the beginning of the war, and left the tavern to a trusty friend—one John Lloyd. Burrattavllle has gained nothing In patronage or busi ness from the war, except that it became at an early stage a Rebel rost. Office. The great secret mall from Matthias Creek, Virginia, to Port Tobacco, struck Surmttaville, and thence beaded off to the cast of Washington, going meanderingly north. Of this post-route, Mrs. Barrett was a manageress ; and John Lloyd when he rented her hotel, assumed the re sponsibility of looking out for the mail, as well as the duty of making Mrs. Berndt at home when she chose to visit him. So Sonattsville, only ten miles from Washington, has been throughout the war a scat of conspiracy. It. sawlike a suuurb of Richmond, reaching quite up to therlial capital; and though the few Unioniata on th e peninsula knew its reputation well enough, nothing of the sort came out until after the murder. Treason neverfound a better agent than Mrs. Sur ratk She Is a large, masculine, self- possessed female, mistress of her Lowe, nod as little a repel as Belle Boyd or airs. Greenough. She has not the flip. pantry and menace of the llnst, nor the nodal power of the second; bat. the Rebellion has found no litter agent. At her ?try tavern and Washington home, Booth was e welcome, and there began the mut tered tour& against the nation anti mankind. ato is vaunt Torso lEt razasom. The acquaintance of Mrs Biarratt In Lower Mary land undoubtedly suggested to Booth the route of escape, and made biro known to -his subsequent ac complices. Last fall he !kilted the entire region, as far as Leopardatnwn, in 'St. Mary's county, profess sing to buy land, but really making himself inform ed upon the Rebel post stations, wish all the leading affiliations upon whom be could depend. At thfii time he bought a map, a fellow to which I have seen among Atzeroth'e effects, published nt Buffalo for the Rebel Government, and marking at hap-hazard all the Maryland villages, but without tracing' the high roads at all. The abeence of these roads, It will be seen hereafter, very nearly misled Booth during his crippled flight When Booth cast around biro nirviaststants, he naturally selected those men whom he could control. The first that recommended himself was one Harold, a youth of inane and plastic character, carried away .by the example of an actor, and full of execrable quotations, going to show that he was an imitator of the muter spirit; both in text and admiration.— This flurold was a gunner, and therefore versed in arta; he had traversed the whole lower portion of Maryland, find waif therefore a geographer as well I. a toot His friends lived at every farm-horse be tween IVashlngton and Leonardsville, and he was respectably enough connected, so as to make his as , soctatlon creditable as yell as useful. Young Barrett does not appear to have been a puissant split. In the scheme Indeed, all design and influence therein was absorbed by Mrs. Berndt and Booth. The latter was the head and heart of the plot ; Mrs. &matt was his anchor, and the rest of the boys were disciples to Iscariot and Jezebel— John Burratt. is youth of strong Southern physiog nomy, beardless sod lanky, knew of the murder and connived at it. "Sam" Arnold and one MeLanghlin were to have been parties to it, but backed out In the end. They all relied upon Mrs. Surrett, and took their "cues" from Wilkes Booth. DILUTING ToWABD THE DEATU. The conspiracy had Its own time and kept Its own counsel Murder, except among the principals, was seldom mentioned except by genteel But they all publicly agreed that Mr. Lincolnzught to be shot, and that the North was a race of fratri cides. Mach was said of Brutus, and Booth repeat ed heroic passages, to the delight or Harold, who learned them also, and wondered if he was not born to greatness. In this growing darkness, where all rehearsed cold hearted murder, Wilkes Booth grew great of stature. He had bound a purpose consonant with hie evil nature and bad influence over "Weak men ; so he grew moodier, more vigilant, more plausible. By mien and temperament he was born to handle a stiletto. We have no face so markedly Italian ; it would stand for Cesar Borgia any day In the year. All the rest were swayed or persuaded by Booth ; his schemes were clime in order:— Ist. To kidnapthe President and Cabinet, and ran them South or blow them up. 2d. Kidnapping failed, to murder the President and the rest, and seek shelter in the Confederate alp- Ital. 3d. The Rebellion failed, to be Its avenger and throw the country Into conatentatlon, while he es caped by the unfrequented parts of Maryland. TEC MIN POII TITE WORM_ When this last resolution had been made, the plot was both contracted and circuited. There were mad. two distinct circles of confidants, those aware of the meditated murder, and those who might shrink from murder, though willing accessories for a lesser object. Two colleagues for blood were at once accepted, Payne and At zeroth. The former I have aketched ; he is believed to have visited Washington once before, at Booth's ci tation; for the murder was at first fixed for the day of Inauguration. Atzerotir was a fellow of German descent, who had led a desperate life at Port Tobac co, where ho was &house painter. Ile had been a blockade-runner across the Potomac, and a mall carrier. When Booth and Mrs. Barran broke thede sign to hien, with a suggestion that there was wealth in it, he embnced the offer at once, and bought a dirk and pistol. Payne also came bum the North to Wasblognou, und, us fate would have it, the Presi dent was announced to appear at Ford's theatre la public. Then the resolve of blood was reduced to a definite moment. foe NlOll7 DETOIIII THE =Brum On the night before the crime, Booth found onn on whom he could rely. John Burratt was sent north ward by his mother on Thursday. Sam Arnold and McLaughlin, each of whom was to kill a Cabinet ofil- Cer, grew plgeon•livered and ran away, Harold, true to his partiality, lingered around Booth to the end; Atieroth went so tar as to take his knife and pistol t6Birkwood's, where President Johnson was stopping, and hid them under the bed. But either his courage failed, ore trifling accident deranged his plan. lint „Payne, a professional murderer ' stood game," and loughthis way over prostrate figures to his sick victim's bed. There was great confusion and terror among the tacit and rash conspirators on Thursday night. They bad looked upon the plot as of a melodrama, and found to their horror that John Wilkes Booth meant to do murder. PREPARATIONS FOIL TUN ACT AND TUN ➢LIQIIT BUT weeks before the murder young John Barratt had taken two splendid repeating carbines to Sumas vllle, and told John Lloyd to secrete them. The latter made a bole in the wninscoting and suspended them from strings, so that they O fell within the plas tered wall of the mom below. n the very afternoon of the murder, Mrs. Barrett was driven to Berretta villa, and she told John Lloyd to have the carbines ready, because they would be called for that night. Harold was wade quartermaster, and hired the hors es. Re and Atzeroth were mounted between eight o'clock and the time iaf the murder, and riding about the streets together. The whole party was prepared for a long ride, as their spurs and gauntlets show. It may bays been their design to ride in company to the Lower Poto mac, and by their numbers exact subsistence and transportation.

All this time, Mr. Lin coln, in his family circle, uuconscluus . of the death that crowded fist upon him, witnessed the pleasant ry and smiled, and telt heartfull of gentleness. Bndilenly there was a murmur near the audience door, as of a man spmdllng above Lila hound- lie mid: "Nine o'clock and forty-live minutes!" These words were reiterated from mouthto mouth until they passed the theatre door, and were upon the sidewalk: Directly a 'voice cried, in the eame alightly raised monotone— "Nine O'clock and titty minutes!" • This also passed fromimui to man, until It touch ed the street like u shudder.
