NATIONAL DEBTS AND IL S. STOCKS.
The creation of national debts is not a modern
improvement, but the ability of a great nation
to provide fora greet debt, and to make 11, the
moat convenient and best form of personal prop
erty, is a modern wonder. The debt of Great
Britain was begun by raising a million sterling
by loan in 1892, and when her great contest
with Louis XIV. was terminated, the debt had
reached fifty, millions. Many statesmen and
economists were then. alarmed at the great bur
den which had been imposed upon the industry
of the contdry, but when the war of the Austri
an succession had swelled this amount to eighty
millions, Macaulay says that historians and ora
tors pronounced the case to be desperate. But
when war again broke out, and the national
debt was rapidly carried up to one hundred and
forty millions, men of theory and business both
pronounced that the fatal day had certainly ar
rived. David Home said that, although, by tax
ing its energies to the almost, the country might
possibly live through it, the experiment must
never be repeated, even a small increase might be
fatal. Granville,aaid the nation must sink under
it sinless some pOrtion of the load was borne by
the American Colonies, and the attempt to im
pose this load produced the war of the Revolu
tion, and, instead of diminishing, added another
hundred millions to the burden. Again, says
Macaulay, was England given over, but again she
was more prosperous than ever before. Bat
when at the close of her Napoleonic wars, in
1918, this debt had been swelled up to the enor
mous sum of over eight hundred millions ster
ling, or four thousand three hundred million dol•
tars, or nearly one-half the entire property of the
United Kingdom, the stoniest heart, the firmest
believer in national progress and national devel
opement, might well have been appalled. But
in the very face of this mountain of obligation,—
to say nothing of her vast colonial possessions,
—the property of the 'British nation has been
more than trebled, and her debt is now a charge
of bat 121 per cent. against it. All that Great
Britain hag done in raying her debt, we shall do,
and more, with ours. We have vast territories'
untouched by the plow, mines of all precious
metaheof which we have hardly opened the doors,
a population fall of life, energy, enterprise and
industry, and the accumulated wealth of money
and labor of the old countries pouring into the
lap of our giant and ever-to-be-united republic.
During the fiercest and most exhausting of all
possible wars, we have demonstrated our nation
al strength—and all the world aver, national
strength is but another name for national credit.
"As good as United Stocks" will soon be synon
ymous the world over with "as good as British
Consols." For our part, we think aC. S. Treas
ury note, bearing seven and three-tenths annual
interest, is jest es mach better than British Con
sols as the rate of interest is higher. Some of our
timid brethren, who shipped their gold to Lon
don and invested to consols, are now glad to sell
out and invest at home at a round loss—and
serves them right.
COMING 003181
The great events of the last six weeks have to
tally changed the aspect of the military field:—
The powerful rebel armies still existing six weeks
ago, barring our way to victory and peace, have
been swept away and will never again be re-as
sembled. The rebel flag is no longer an emblem
of power; it flies nowhere upon our soil except
perhaps in isolated and insignificant localities,
far in the interior. The rebellion is ended; the
rebels are whipped ; the doctrines of secession
and the divine right of one man to enslave
another, have been destroyed and scattered to
the winds of heaven.
The armies which have done this work for
Union and Freedom are now coming home, full
of the joy and pride of victory. For four long
years they have fought to overcome treason, and
at last they have conquered it. Their triumph
is complete. The enemy have no army now in
existence worthy of the name, and The duty of
repressing guerrillas and assassins is as much
the work of the policemen as of the soldiers.
Hundreds of thousands of brave men, who have
borne the musket and knapsack through sun and
storm, will now be released and sent rejoicing
to their longed-for homes. Such men the nation
will ever bless' and honor, for to them it owes
its life, as well as all that makes life worth the
having.
The Army of the Potomac, under General
Meade, is now marching toward Washington.
It will be followed• by the great Army of the
West, which, led by Sherman : , has encompassed
almost the whole Southern country. Both ar
mies are to pass through Richmond, that the
'soldiers may look upon the place which for years
has been the goal of their campaigns. Meade's
men have marched and fought for hundreds of
miles, vhile Sherman's have traversed thousands,
to be in at the final struggle, and to crush all
that was left of the embolden' rebellion.
The war leaver I Victory is ours!. The boys
are coining home! Does not this glad result re

of financial peril and almost worn-out Patience
Do we not feel that we bave In this, conflict

LOYALTY OF 'TOE DENOCRAZIN
Now that the Bout Vern Confederacy is about
PlaVed out, many of tafe democracy aretuteasely
loyal., They protest very loudly that they never,
for moment; doubted the istme of the contest
with the iebellion't that they have never belong
ed to the "Sons of Liberty," and have always
been ffghtlog for the government. The conduct
of some of them reminds us of a "littlo Moly," to
this effect : Some twenty years ago, or so, the
Fourth of July was celebrated at an interi
or town in Pennsylvania, and the orator of the
day, to lend ale to the occasion, invited the
soldiers of the Revolution to be seated around
him on the stand. In the course of his remarks,
he turned patronizingly to one of the old soldiers,
and demanded, " Where did you fight, my old
father, in the Revolution V" "At Trenton," was
the reply. "Ail Trentenrsaid the orator,
"under Wagingfon f" "Yaw," said the old gold-
ier, "unter WashlneMn—lunterer, after we sooren

canary.
NIMBI) SIIVIVRACIE
It may be noted tus one of the remarkable signs
of the times that the New York World and Ex
press are having a warm controversy over the
question of negro . finffrage. The World had said
that the next generation of negroes would "have
the suffrage or Pertrirb the state," and that it does
not believe "the celored population, when pos
sessing freedom and the means of education, can
be permanently erbluded from the elective fran
chise." The Err/Iva denounced this as neither
sense, logic, nor democracy. Whereupon the.
World reminds the Erpreas that negro suffrage
was established tuNew York by democrats, and
it sees in it nothing contrary to democracy. The
World has the right of it. The only
,question is
whether intelligence shall bo required in the
voter, of any color, and how much. i.e to the
re-organizing States, there is the further gum
tion, whether the general Government can or
should force this or any other measure upon
them which it does not attempt to dictate to
other States.
IT WON'T WORN.
The "Democratic"journals are making persist
ent exertions to "honeyfuglen President John
son, by publishing his votes and speeches, years
ago, while he was still under the influence of
their teachings. " They hope to deceive him into
a belief that they are ready to support him on a
Conservative platform, and then to enact their
old trick, playedon the nation when John Tyler
unhappily succeeded General Harrison.
The people need have no fears of their success.
They have not a weak-kneed scion of decayed
aristocracy to. operate upon, but a self-made
statesman and a ;true patriot, who, rising from
the ranks, still iympathizes with the people and
will not betray them. He Is no John Tyler.
We have the beat grounds for saying that the
people need have no doubts concerning him.
The Copperhead papers will have their labor for
their pains.

As the facts and circumstances which operated
upon the mind of Gen. Sherman, in his recent
treaty with Geri. Johnston become known, there
is less disposition to censure him for the latitude
taken. lie bad just had a long interview with
President Lincoln, wherein the contingency of
Johnston's surrender was thoroughly canvassed,
and the pamMount impression made by the
President was that every possible magnanimity
and kindness was to be shown the foe, just so
soon as he should offer to lay down his arms. The
President particularly desired that every cause
of irritation, cOnsistent with justice and national
honor, should be obviated, with a view of wim
ning back the affections of the Southern people
to the old flag, rather than securing a forced and
unwilling obedience to Federal rule. Gen. Sher
man insists that his action was based upon this
desire of the President.

The President has issued a Proclamation en
joining upon our naval vessels to capture all
Rebel cruisers and bring them into port that
their crews may no longer enjoy immunity for
their crimes ; and he warns all foreign nations
that may permit them to enter their ports that
hospitality will be refused to their vessels in the
ports of the Potted States. The Proclamation
also recognizes the State of Virginia as restored
to the Union, and orders measures to be taken
for the re-establishment of her government and
the restoratirin of peace within her boundaries.
Destitution of the South.
During the, four years of war that have swept
ea a bosom of destruction over the whole South,
the direst destitution has prevailed. In the first
year the people began to feel the pinches of poverty ;
in the seconAand third the pain grew greater, and
in the fourth a hard, unyielding gripe crushed out
all comfort, every shadow or former luxury. A late
prominent Southern I.ad.r, not mane days ago, bald
to a company of Northern gentlemen at ftichmond :
" We are defeated; yea, if you please, we are con
quered. Locik at our condition. Our rich have be
come poor, and our poor, beggars. Our soil has
been desolated by contending armies, till there are
no crops in the ground, few houses tit to live
no fences, and no timber to make any ; no cattle, no
horses, no railroads, no locomotives or rolling
stock, no steamboats, no flour mills, no cotton, no
tobacco, and no food that is available, save WS we
get It from your commiasarlat. In a single night
our currency perished in our hands, losing even its
pitiful price of the cents on a dollar. I know faint.
'es—yea, families heretofore comfortable, and even
rich—who would thank you for a slipper of corn

Another Recount from a trIIIOII soldier says :
" Let freepassea be given to all in the North who
doubt the prevalence of the direst poverty and dis
tress among the people of the South, and there vlB
be a new field open for your Sanitary Commission."
We couldpresent the evidences, but they are need

that city say that almost every steamer which arrives
at that port trom Southern cities—especially those
of North and South Carolloas—brings a large num

The London and Provincial journals alike describ

and all unite in warm euloginms upon Lincoln and
bitter denunciations of the assassins.
The Paris and Continental journals contain a num

The scene on 'Change at Liverpool, will not soon

columns in mourning.
The London Timm says that nothing in political
history can be remembered that has ever drawnforth
a more unanimous feeling than this news. Person

from every one In England. The extent to which
his influence was estimated In upholding amicable

has been shown by o tall of unusual severity in all
clashes of securities.

Lincoln will be held in reverence and love."
The Nom then continues :—"We will not, without
further and overwhelming proof, lay the charge of
this horrible conspiracy to the leaders or abettors of
the South."
The Star pays a warm tribute to President Lincoln,
and eulogizes his atimdfast policy of peace, in spite
of all promattions, towards England. It also ex
cessesp g reat confidence that the North, even in it,
hour ofjust indignation, will bear itself with that
mons clemency which thus far has attend
ttlitlirtnriumph.
The .1/ailg Telegraph says:—"He entered Richmond
as a conqueror, but he launched no decree of pro
scription against the South, for the tight appeared
to him to be over, and it was not in his larg• , heart to
bear malice against a fallen toe. He spoke very kind
ly of General Lee, says Secretary Stanton, and on that
same night that he pleaded for mercy and for pence
a minion killed him. Not for Lincoln Weasel! can
the end be considered as unhappy."
The Late Assassinations—A New
Phase of Feelings.
We insert from the Chattanooga Daily Mel of
April 40th and 24tb, the following extracts. They
give a somewhat new phase of the feelings of the.
rebels in regard to the late assassinations. The Rebel
of the 20th ult. hastlu3 following :
"If the news we published yesterday from Sena
tobla la true, William H. Seward, the cold-blooded
and heartless political miscreant, who guided the in
fernal policy which plunged us into this bloody and
desolating war, has been arrested by an angry God
in the midst of his iniquities, and baa paid the pen
altiy of his crimes at the hands of an unknown as-
Bassin. His ambitions plans have been brought to
a bloody, we do not say fitting, conclusion. Hit
was right for Brutus to slay the despotic Cesar,
who shall say that the man who slit the throat of
this arch-plotter against the lives and ilbertiee of
this people is not worthy of the laurel wreath?
"And Abe Lincoln, too, the political mountebank
and profesatonal joker, whom nature intended for
the ring of a circus, but whom a strange streak of
popular delusion elevated to the Presidency—be also
hhaoee fallen. His career was as short as it was bloody
and infamous. He has gone to answer before the
bar of God, for the innocent blood which he was per
mitted to be shed, and his efforts to enslave a free
and heroic people."
The same paper, date 24th April, continues:
"The people of the North are now reaping the
natural and Inevitable harvest of crime growing out
of the demoralization Incident to a state of war

The Attempt of the Copperheads to
Cozen Andrew Johnson.
We have `beardof the devil attempting to quote
Scripture, and the effort has alwaysV.en•regartied
as one of supreme effrontery ; but the offer of the
Copperheads to cozen Andrew Johnson. or to draw
comfort and encouragement for theft schemes of
past or future politicalig i rations, certainly exceeds
In cool impudence ng M the audacious Way
ever essayed by the Prince of Copperheada, Old I
Beelzebub himself. Font years tIZO, the Tarp Organ
took the. lead In one of the basest and most coward
ly crusades ever waged against a good man,
to crush Andrew Johnson for holding opinions
which the same men now Imist he refuses to enter
tain. When Andrew Johnson stood alone of all the
Ttemocrata in the United States Senate to oppose
treason and threaten the traitors with the death
they invoked by their own acts, he was denonneed
as an agitator, as recreant to Democracy, as faithless
to bib trust as an American Senator, So anxious
were the Democratic leaders of the North to exhibit
to their Southern allies the repngnanee In which
they beid the dauntless Tenneasema, that they
banded to render him odious to the people of
the free States, refusing Mr. Johnson courtesies
which bad been freely tendered to biller men, and
tattering him indignities which had never been east
in the face of any other American citizen. In all
this dirty business the Democracy were actuated by
the single motive of venting their spite on Mr.
Johnbuu, because he had dared to oppose the Elhive.
holders' rebellion, because he bad the courage to
stand between the Democratic leaders and the dis
memberment of the talon for the purpose of erect
Ingo government In the South based on slavery, a
overnment which it was hoped would sooner or
later embrace every ante in the Union, and thus
prostitute the free white labor of the free States to i
a level with the degradation of the slave labor of the
slave States. As a specimen of the treatment to
which Mr. Johnson was subjected In the North, by
the action of the Democratic battlers four yearn ago,
we submit a portion of the proceedings in the Penn
sylvania Legislature of 1861. We commend this ex
tract particularly to the fact , ion now contributing
to the columns of the Tory Organ:
"In the House, March 6th, 1861, Mr. Vicent
(having obtained leave to make a statement) said,
'Two distinguished gentlemen are about to visit our
city; and many of the citizens, as well as many
moistens of the House, desire to hear addresses
from them. I therefore move that the order be sus- I
peuded, that I may offer a resolution.'
" At the request of several members the resolution
was read for information, as follows:
" Wnettarea, Governor Andrew Johnson, of
Tennessee, a brave and loyal man, who has testlded
his devotion to the Union by his suffering and sae ,
Hikes in the cause of his country, and ex Governor
Joseph A. Wright, of Indiana, another time-honors
ed and patriotic citizen, are about to cleft Banta
bnrg, and propose to address the people on the,
questions now agitating the public mind, and which
are so important to every citizen; therefore,
"'lfeseleed, That Governor Andrew Johnson, of
Tennessee, and ex-Governor Wright, of Indiana, be
and they are hereby tendered the vise of the Hall of
this House, this afternoon, for the purpose of ad
dreseing their fellow-citizens.'
"On the question, will the House suspend the
orders to allow the presentation , of the resolution }
the yeas and nays were required, when the follow
ing persona 101 l ti nag, ale
" Messrs, Alexander, Barger, Barron, Beck, Bol
lean, Brown (Northumberland), Dellone,
Glenn, Grauer, Hess, Hoover, Horton, Jackson, Jo
aephs, keine, Kerns (Schuylkill), Kline, Labor,
Meyers, Neiman, Noyes, Patton, quigley, Hex,
ituoads. Robinson, Howland, Trimmer, Walsh.
Weitsuer, and
" Leas than two-thirds having voted In the afar.
math-e, the motion to suspend the order wassiat
agreed to.
"Aft the Union members voted to suspend the
rules and in favor of passing the resolution.
"In the Senate, March 6th, 1561, Mr. White of
fered a resolution granting the use of the Hall to
Governor Johnson and ex Governor Wright, to ad
dress the people.
Upon the adoption of this resolution the follow
ing persons voted in the ',veto., viz:
c Mw' rs. Sucher, Clymer, Donovan, Gluts, Lam
berton, Mott, Smith, Stark, Stein, and Wallace.
"All the Union members of the Senate voted In
the afflinatire, and the resolution was adopted."!
In the feee of this record, and with the notorious
fact well remembered that the Tory Organ ap
plauded anti supported the action of the Democracy
In the Legislature refusing Mr. Johnson the qse of
the Capitol in which to address the people, the ef
fort of the same sheet to claim the name manes be-
Ing in affinity with a conservatism which regards
treason as a mere political revolution, which cannot
be reached for punishment, is supremely ridiculous.
There has no .hange taken place In the opinions of
Andrew Johnson within four years. He Is the same
roan to day, In all his political convictions and
feelings- that he was four years ago; yet four years
ago the Democracy in the Pennsylvania Legislature
refused him the Ocedom of speech in the State Cap
itol, a ?teasel which was then applauded by the
Tiny Organ, while to day that same organ, heeled
by the creatures who heaped contumely and •re
preach upon the same man then, profess to regard
Mr. Johnson as peculiarly a conservative Democrat,
who will neither punish traitors or recognise those
who made noble sacrifices for the suppression of
treason. Truly such professions are equal to the
expressions of sorrow put forth for Mr, Lincoln's
foul assassination by such traitors as Gen. Lee_
The effort on the part of the Tory Organ to mis
quote and misconstrue the speech of President-
Johnson in response to the Harrisburg resolutions
emoting him of the combined support of theepeople
of Pennsylvania, Is in consonance with all the course
of that sheet in relation to the man and the cause
with which he is identified. It is unfair, untruth
ful and unmanly. The truth is suppressed to serve
a base party purpose. The sentiments then uttered
are garbled by the organ to place Mr. Johnson in a
false position ; and to prove to the readers of the
Tory Oryan that the editorial in its Issue of the sth
inst. abounds in garbled quotations, we challenge
that sheet to re-publish the speech from which it
tooted. In his response to 0.-n Cameron, President
Johneon talks of traitors as criminals—criminals of
the highest grade, whose punishment and extermin
ation involved not only the honor, but the peace
and the permanency or the American Union.
Here is the doctrine of the speech the Ton/ Organ
has so basely nought tr, misconstrue;
" Tn the unconseimie, decrired, sonscripred- in short,

of a nature—l would ray, on you be inflirted the fever
penalties of poor crime." (Applause,
Nu one can object to that doctrine. We accept It
as the same for which we have contended, for four
yeara, But if the Torn Organ Is not satisfied with
this declaration, perhaps the following will chime
with what the Demo-racy think is due to natters:
" Trroann nova be mode cettous , traitors mud be
pun ohed and onpneerished ; they mum' not only be pun

The Slavery Question Settled in
North Carolina.
The following General Order from Gen. Schofield
settles the question of Slavery as far as North Caro
lina is concerned, and we hope we shall hear no
more of it. And we are glad to see, too t that these
people will not be encouraged In Idleness by the
Government authorities, but that they are expected
to earn a living by toll, as the white people do.
Gen. Schofield also advises the farmer owners of
these net:roes to retain their services at fair remu
neration, and the latter to remain at their former
homes if they are wanted. In a short tame we be
lieve this system will be found to work to the ad
vantage of troth parties, and that our people, gener
ally, will be satisfied with it. We have' known, for
some time, that there was no return to the Union
and no chance of peace hat In the abandontnent of
Slavery: for the people of the Sauth, as well as those
We North, are determined that this vexed quo.-
firm shall never be allowed again to disturb the na
tional councils or lead to fratricidal strife.
Those of our people who still elingto the insti
tution of Slavery roust accept the situation as they
flod it, and not us they would have it; and if the
people of North Carolina would art wisely they will
make all possible haste to ark tenduilstlon hate the

Mexican Emigration Project
Within a few dayslomat an intense excitement bee

Mexico. Much anxiety is manifested to learn the
particulars - in relation. Wilds scheme audits real ob.

We have rnade inquiries from various quarter,
from patties likely to t*Well Informed in reference
thetas movement, rind give the following asp correct
state of affairs, so far , as they can be divulged up to
the present time: a'
The Sonora "emigration " movement was com
mence,' sometime since, but for a time wee confined
to men who were quietly forming and perfecting their
plane and waiting the turn of events, or rather the
termination of the rebellion, when many thousands
of men would be released from the army, whowould
be ready for any adventure. AB soon ae Gen. Lee's
army was defeated, the leaders of the movement set
tae ball in motion, end in a abort time this scheme
has become wide-spread and of great magnitude.
Secret meetings have been held In this city, and in
fact in the largo cities of nearly all of the States, as
well as throughout the armies, and it Is asserted that
many officers of high rank are engaged in thtrprOject.
We have it from a trustworthy source that In the
city of Newark alone, within the past two weeks,
secret meetings have been held by discharged ste
mma f rom the hospitals, and over one thousand
men have enrolled thee names.
Col. William 11. Alien, who has seen considerable
Bemire in the army since the commencement of the
rebellion, has, It is mid, received authority from
Gen. Ortega to raise 30 000 men to emigrete to Bo
,nora fir the purpose Of settling there and develop.
;leg Its resources, and especially to work In the silver
mitres, which are said to be very rich.
Two dare since Cal. Allen opened bis headgear:l
tera at the cornerof Howard and Crosby streets, for
the purpose of enrolling names of persons desirous'
of engaging in the project. During both days his
office has been beileged with applicants eager to
join the movement. Our reverter spent a couple of
hours there on Wednesday afternoon, and during
the time the office was thronged with persona en
gaed in booking their names, mostly discharged
soldiers and officers. About 1,100 name) have
been enrolled, One man came in with forty names,
but the Secretary,' J. . 1. McGovern, could not find
time to attend to him. CoL Allen hen authorized a
number of men to open branch offices in vartans
parts of city, as well as in the State, New Jersey,
and other localities. -
Each emigrant is promised 51,000 in gold and a
deed of 800 acres of land to apnoea - but neither
money new deed will be banded over until the emi
grant arrives on the frontier. Each man will be
furnished with a rifle and revolver for protection.
The expedition from this city, it le thought, will be
ready to take their departure in about three weeks,
previous to which they will be supplied with cloth
ing and arms, for the purchase of Which, it is stated,
there is already a fund of several millions of dollars
on band.
It is reported that large rams of money to forward
this movement have been subscribed in the West,
and that 23,000 men are to be raised there to be
commanded by Gen. Rosecrane, and that It Is highly
probable that when all the different divisions of the
expedition arrive in Sonora, he will be made com
mander-in-chief.
Gen. Rosecmns denied that he had anything to do
with this movement.
At the meeting to be held on Saturday night, CoL
Allen will fully explain the plan and object of the
emigration movement.
Another arsoclation has been farmed In this city
having for its object the forwarding of emigrants to
Mexico. Able-bodied men, either marled or single,
can obtain all necessary information in regard to
title matter by applying at either of the offices of
the Aeeociation, No. 145 Second et., or No. 35
Third ave., where Col. George P. Hollister, Lient,-
Col. Charles G Quilfeldt, or Major John J. Schluter
will be in attendence to answer all Inquiries. These
offices were opened on Wednesday, and all, wheth
er soldiers, sailors, or civilians, who desire to gain
Information as to Mexico, the means of emigratina
there, or of other facts connected therewith, can do
so.
The above-mentioned officers It is said, will go
out with the first party of Mexican emigrants that
leaves this city.
The Mexican Gen. Ortega, who Is understood to
be at the head of the enterprise, went to Washing
ton on Tuesday to attend, as is supposed, to official
business in furtherance of this scheme.
It is a part of the plan of Gen. Ortega to have all
these emigrants declared Mextean citizens, • invested
with all the privileges and Immunities of natives of
the country, but freed from the necessity of swear
ing off their allegiance to the United States. " Also,
that Juarez will abdicate in favor of Geri. Ortega,
when he will be elected President by the votes of
the emigrants, alter which Sonora will be ceded to
the United States.
Ana protection to the emigrants, and to provide
for their wants, It is part of the plan to purchase
four merchant steamers for transportation purposes,
end several stoops-of-war for use In shallow water.—

From the Loud= Star, .4pril 2W, 1865.
The appalling tragedy which has just been per
petrated at Wasington Is absolutely without histor
ical precedent. Not in the records of the fiercest
European convulsion, in the darkest hour of partia•
an hatred, bare we an example of an assassin plot
at once a° font and so senseless, so horrible and so
successful as that to which Abraham Lincoln has al
ready fallen a victim, and from which William
Seward can hardly escape. Only in such instances
as the murder of William of Orange, of Henri *no
te, or of Capodistra, hate we any deed approaching
In hideous ferocity to that which jest robbed the
United States of one of their greatest Presidents.—
But from the fanatic's hateful point of view there
was at least something to be said for men like Bal
thazar, Gerard, and Reveille°. They at least might
have believed that they saw embodied in their vic
tims the whole living principle and motive power of
that religions freedom which they detested. They
might bare supposed that with the man would die
the great hopes and the great cause he inspired and
guided, So, too, of OrsinL That unfortmude and
guilty being believed, at least, that in Napoleon 111,
there stood an embodied and concentrated system.
lint Abraham Lincoln was no dictator and no auto
crat. He represented simply the resolution and the
resources of a great people. The miserable excuse
which fanaticism might attempt to plead for other
political assassins Luis no application to the wretch
whose felon hand dealt death to the pure and noble
Magistrate of a free nation. One would gladly, for
the poor sake of common humanity, have caught at
the idea that the crime was but the work of a mani
acal partisan. Bat the mere nature of the deeds,
without any additional evidence whatever, bids de
fiance to such au idea. While the one murderer
was slaying the Preaident of the Republic, the oth
er was making his even more dastardly attempt up
on the life of the sick and prostrate Secretary. It
does not need even the disclosures which have now,
too late for any good purpose, reached official quar
ters to prove that two madmen cannot become si
multaneously inspired with the same monstrous
project and impelled at the one moment to do their
several parts of the one bloody business. The chiv
alry of the South has had much European compli
ment of late It bas been discovered to be the
fount and origin of all the most noble and knightly
qualities which the world heretofore had principally
known through the niedinm of medhevai romance.
Let It not be forgotten that Southern brains lately
planned the conflagration of a
. peaceful city. It
never can be forgotten, while history is read, that
the hands of Southern partisans have been reddened
by the foulest assassin plot the world has ever
known ; that they have been treacheronaly dipped
in the blood of ono of the best citizens and purest
patriots to whom the land of Washington gave
birth.
