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. Let. us pledige ourselves, If need b., to a lifelong battle with the enemies of the nation's life. Then shall come the vision, 10 the long future, of a nation whose life is founded in sacrifice, and Which Is enduring beearate resting ,ppon justice and the. rights of a commorammatsity: Then shall ow, the vision of Peace, of Peace tlintniei righteousness. of Peace in obedience to the eternal law, "finll pure and then peaceable."
