Universal Expressions of Sympathy.
The excitement and Indignation over the assaslna-
tlon of President Lincoln was considerably In
creased yesterday. The wet weather of Saturday,
fortunately, no doubt prevented the Immense
crowds of people from collecting on the streets on
Saturday whtoh there would otherwise have been,
that day, however, the weather being remarkably
fine throughout the whole day, the streets were
crowded with citizens, many of whom, both ladles
and gentlemen, wore crape on their arms, or car
ried a picture of onr late President, encircled by a
monrning badge, upon their breasts. Host of the
stores have their windows dosed, and many are en
tirely shnt. Hearty all the dwelling houses of
the city hove their shutters bowed, or curtains
down, and there is a p<'of sadness visible in
whatever direction the eye turns. It Is almost a
matter of Impossibility to find a house upon which
there Is not an emblem of grief. The house of the
poor, as well as the princely mansion of the rich,
shows the respeot of its inmates to the memory of.
onr beloved President. There are many decorations
deserving of notice, hut were we to go outside of
the public buildings we would, by mentioning any
particular house on which taste had been shown-ln
the arrangement of the mourning, be doing in
justice to hundreds of others., whlch are dually en
titled to the same notice. ,

The Custom House was yesterday riohly draped,
Its fine, large marble pillars having black wound
arcund each, and along their tops, at the base of

The Naval General Court Martial convened at

meet dally, excepting Sundays. At the meeting
yesterday morning Judge Advocate A. Thomas
Smith made the following announcement:
Mb. Pbbsidbkt: A crime unparalleled In his
tory has been committed at our National Capital.
Our Chief Magistrate, the Commander-ln-Uhlef of
the Army and Navy, has been fonlly assassinated,
and now lies In the embrace of death in the Execu
tive Mansion. A stab has thereby been lnflioted
upon the nation, and the hearts of the people are
bowed down with unfeigned sorrow.
The country has been plunged Into the deepest
affliction, and the feelings ot the strongest among
us have been completely unmanned. Public busi
ness has been suspended, and tbe temples of justice
throughout the land have been closed. No one, at
such a time and in the state of excitement which
prevails, can be fitted for the transaction of busi
ness which requires the exercise of o&lmness, de
liberation, and sound judgment; and, although we
are obliged to meet from day to day, I move that
further proceedings In the trial now before the oonrt
be suspended until after the Inter ment of the remains
of the honored Chief Magistrate of the nation.
The court acceded to the motion of the Judge Ad
vocate, and immediately adjourned.

HEBTIFG OF THB BAB.
A meeting of the members of the bar was held at
noon yesterday, In the United States District Oourt
room, for the purpose o( taking Into consideration
t» lots abler Magistrate of the United
States. There was a very large attendance, among
whom we noticed some of the most dlstlnguishod
members of the legal profession. Tho room was
shrouded In mourning, and tbe occasion was one of
deep solemnity, each countenance betraying the
mournful feeling that filled the hearts of those In at
tendance.
District Attorney Ohas. Gilpin arose and an
nounced thauhe meeting had been called, and was
here assembled on a sad occasion. The President
of the united States had been stricken down, and
the object of the meeting was to devise some mark
of respect for his memory. He moved that the Hon.
Bobert O. Grier, Associate Justice or the United
states Supreme Court, take the chair, which was
agreed to.
On taking the chair Judge Grier said that this
day had been set apart as one of thanksgiving, but
a great man having fallen ln Israel, we lad met to
honor his memory.
_ Mr. Gilpin proposed the names of Hon, James K.
Ludlow and J. William Wallace lor secretaries,
which was agreed to. He also moved that the chair
appoint a committee of five to prepare suitable
resolutions for tbe occasion; whereupon the follow
ing-named gentlemen were appointed: Hon. Chas.
Gilpin, Hon. W. A. Porter, F. Carroll Brewster,
E?q, Furman Sheppard, Esq., and A. H. Smith,
Esq. -
Hon. John M. Bead having entered the room, his
name was proposed by J, O, Turner, Esq., for vice
president, and he was elected, -
Tb* committee retired, and after a short interval
returned, and Mr. A. H. Smith, In reporting the
resilaliona, said that in the midst of public rejoicing
the President of the United States had perished.
He had passed away, not In the natural course of
events, but had been stricken down by the hand of
an assassin, who stole upon him while surrounded
by friends, hundreds of whom would have willingly
given their lives to have saved him. At the time of
the President’s late induction into ofi&oe be spoke
brave and hopeful words, pledged himself to the
unity of the country, and bade us go forth with,
manly courage to the work before us. How far he'
had kept the promises made onSth&t occasion we
need not wait for history to tell us. He had barely
time to indioate fairly and full; that meroy which
was hla distinguishing characteristic before he was
taken from us. The speaker apprehended that
those who were his enemies, not those who differed
from him on politloal principles, but those in arms
against us, would say they had lost their best friend.
The speaker then read the resolutions, as follows:
Whereas*! u the Providence of God, Abraham Lin
coln, President of the United States, has bees stricken
down by the hand of an assassin, in the hour of national
rejoioinc ioi the triumph of our arms, the restoration of
the Union, and the establishment of the Government of
these United States upon the firm foundations of justice
and liberty;
And whereas, 'We, the'members of this Bar, in oom
mon with the loyal people every where,have xecocnized
in him a leader and a guide, eminently fitted for the
station to whisk he had been called; therefore,
Resolved, That, while his death moves our hearts
With the deepest sorrow, we retard thelossof so treat
and good a man, especially at this cnsUof our pubiio
affairs, as a national calamity
Resolved, That while his blameless life andapure
.-patriotism won for him tbe love and affection of the
people, he united in himself raze Qualities pecaliatly
fftiini him for his high offce; can dor and simplicity,
Which marked bis whole character; integrity beyond
reproach; moderation which sever forsook him; state
manship, which carritd us safely through periods of
the most eminent perl!; qualities which will secure for
hie name a place among the most ilinstrioustia history,
and entiiie him to the lasting gratitude of his country
men.
Resolved, That as a further testimony of the affection
and retpeci entertained by tbe members of this Bar for
the deceaeed it is reoommended that a badge of mourn
ing be worn for thirty days, and that a copy of these
resolutions be presented to the several courts of the
United bfates and of the State this city, with
the request that the same be entered on their minutes.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be
published,'
Samuel H. Perkins, Esq., arose for the purpose of
seconding the resolutions, and said no doubt all
felt like bowing In submission rather than lndulglng
In eulogy.* Tbe heart could not remain passive,
however, In sueh an Instance as this. The late Pre
sident was a representative man, and a noble Illus
tration of onr Institutions His most Utter enemies
had never Impeached his integrity ; his humanity
had been recognized everywhere, and if he ever
cried It was on the side of mercy. While the future
Is all unknown, yet we mnst all feel that those who
are In arms against the Government will net In the
fixture be treated with that mildness that has here
tofore been granted them.
Hon. William A. Porter said that this was one of
those cases in which a man scarcely knew what to
say. He did not believe that sueh a monstrous
crime as this oould have been perpetrated in Spain
nor even In Italy. This foul deed, done here In the
bosom of a Christian nation, may well startle us all.
Similar attempts had been made to assassinate—in
one ease, that of President Buohanan. and, in the
other,that of Mr. Ltoooln,by the Implosion ora
torpedo when on his way from Springfield to the
seat of Government. But few persons differed with
President Lincoln as to the result of the rebellion,
but some did as to the form by whioh it would
be accomplished. The events, however, had In
disputably shown that the President saw farther
ttan the most of us. The whole thing was
a cowardly transaction. The idea of attack
ing an aged man as he lay helpless In his
bed was bad enough, but the attempt to
ln Mb presence was unpara]-
hsled In history. The scene enacted, so far as the
President was concerned, was one of deliberation,
and the miscreants might escape the retribution of
men, but a just God would, ln His own good time,
meet cut the punishment so justly deserved.
M- Kuss.ll 1 hayer. Esq., said the spirit of the
rebellion is no where to bo lonnd outside of hell, and
now it had found its natural and black climax In
the perpetration of the most Infernal crime that hu
man nature ever -conceived of. It was hard to
rjaUze tho deliberate and oold-blooded murder of
J?® ,°blef Magistrate of a groat nation, at a mo
*,k® n he hold in his hands the destinies of
than tb£.‘ n r he J® c r rdß . a ° , DOt show a crime blacker

a d this same spirit set ln flames hotels, with a view
Of burning up Innocent women and children while
they slept Jn their beds, it had now culminated ln
tbe Llacheatand moßt damnlngorlmeeveroonoslved
ln human heart. It was impossible to estimate the
#rt< at of the loss, but such a spontaneous and sin
ce! ■ exhibition of popular grief, indignation and
despondence had never been recorded in history on
HO death cf any public man heretofore known. The
very best testimonial, the most valuable testlmo
. nlal to the greatness and goodness of that great man
who sleeps In death by the baud of anassasslurU
the heart-rending American feeling at the loss sus
tained, ’ No language can iitly describe the loss, for
we -can only fe,el it, only suffer it, as human lan
guage cannot describe It. We all felt Safe when
that -man was at the helm of the Government,
for we bad seen his Indomitable resolution to put
. down the rebellion, and the American people had
learned to trust him as implicitly as a child
would trust Its father. The speaker said that
oh an occasion of so great a calamity, It was the
duty of every man to stand by the Government
which this great and good man had bo well held by
the reins. Let us then give to the man who, underthe
providence of God, succeeds our murdered ■ Presi
dent, that confidence whloh Americans only know
howto bestow. Let ns rally around the constitutional
successor of Abraham Lincoln with renewed reso
lution to sustain him In that cause for whloh his
predecessor devoted his life. Bet us pray that the
soul of Abraham Lincoln, if the souls of departed
patriots be permitted to look down from Heaven,
may look down upon the jeountrylregenerated; that
country ler which he died to save.
Benjamin H. Brewster, Esq., said the man whose
fearful end we bod met to mourn was one of us—a
lawyer. He was a type, a great appropriate type of
the workings of onr Institutions. He wag a poor boy
steeped to Sis lips In poverty, and yet he had passed
from obscurity to become a member of our profession,
the doors of whose temple and sanctuary were always
open to those men who strove to do good. Slowly
he rose to occupy the proudest position In the gift
of man. In 1861 the sneaker was called to Wash
ington, by Invitation, to see thi President, who he
expected to find ah nncnltnred and uncouth man.
He, however, to his surprise and great gratification,
met a perfect gentlemen, and when became home
he made every one around him acquainted with tbe
fact. That interview led to others, and- he (the
speaker) wbb much surprised to see the deep re-
BeaTOh of the President, as he wm very familiar
* even with the peculiar' principles of Pennsylvania
law, and his conversation showed he had attuned the
fountains from whence law came. The son of a gen
tleman of this eity had fled to the rebel rafiks, and
there joined that army. He was subsequently found
wounded on a battle-field and made a prisoner of.
-- The father went to the President, told him: that he
had net been a loyal man, and he believed
that his son had taken the course bo did
Item his own expressions in behalf of the Southern
people. --The President took a piece of paper, and
wrote dpcn .it, ** deliver to this gentleman Ms son,
that he may give comfort to his Hither and mother,
and no longer err.” This was Abraham Lincoln,
the man. who had fallen by the hand of an assassin.
The speaker here,bnrst into tears, and said In a
voice choking with emotion, pardon me, but the
heart must speak. When he layon a slok bed in
Parts, a letter was placed in his hands, and on open
ing It he found the President of the United States
had written gracious words of condolence to him.
He did not agree with his brother, Judge Porter, as
to the attempted assassination of Mr. Buchanan,
Ho donbt much would be said to palliate the horri
bleorlme we have met to consider, for snoh Is party
feeling. To snoh an extent does It prevail in the
minds of some men, they would blot the page of
history and print a lie. While he expressed horror
at this outrage, yet he would not utter threats of
vengeance,but would howto tbe dispensation or
that God who numbered the hairs of onr head, and
knew of tbe fall of a sparrow.
Joseph A. Olay, Esq., said he saw around him
men of all shades of: party, and he did not believe
that a man could be found to palliate the fearful
crime committed ae Washington. He thought that
God had directed everything during the rebellion,
and now we must believe , that the death of our
chosen leader Is to resnlt In onr own good.
Genera! Horatio Hnbbell said he was uotpresant
to mourn for or bnry Cuoaar, but to honor him. Too
nation would be disgraced when the page of his
tory recorded the deed of a base assassin. There
was no doubt of Its being a conspiracy whloh bad
for its object the death of all the Cabinet officers,
and the general officers of onr army. Defeated
in the field, the rebels attempted to cover up
their humiliation by a cow&ruly attack upon
unarmed men, ■ and he had no donbt it was
in the camp of tbe rebels that this Infamous
conspiracy was originated. The lamented Presl
dent was called to the head of the Government at a
time when the helm bad been deserted by a coward.
No man, since the time of Mm who was first in
peace, first In war, and first In the' hearts of his
countrymen, had so enshrined himself In the affec
tions of the people as did Abraham Lincoln. Tho
speaker said that Andrew Johnson was a man of
sterner mould than the late lamented President,
and he trusted that every man found with arms in
his hand fighting against the Government would
meet with condign punishment.
H. Gates Jones, Esq,, referred to the late Presi
dent as a Christian man, and paid a glowing enlogv
to his memory. "
In moving for an adjournment of the mooting, .
District Attorney Gilpin expressed hie regret at the '
absence or several distinguished gentlemen, and
said he was Instructed to say that Horace Blnney
and Joseph E. Ingersoll could not be present by
reason of Indisposition, and that Attorney General
Meredith was unable to attend In consequenoe of a
prior engagement.
The meeting then adjourned.
TUB UnlOK LBASUB.
A large meeting of the Union League was held
yeßterday at noon, at Conoert Hall, to express the
feelings of that body In regard to the death of Presi
dent Lincoln. Morton McMiohael, Esq, called the
meeting to order in the following address :
MB, M’MICHABIa’S SPKBOH,
Mbmbbbs of thb Union League : The Board
of Directors have Invited your presence at this time
in order that yon may take such action In reference
to the events whloh have recently startled and hor
rified the country as, In your judgment, you shall
deem most appropriate. It does not need that I
should say the occasion of your meeting is one of
more than ordinary solemnity. Less than three
short days ago our entire city, in common with all
loyal portions of the j Union, was 'jubilant and reso
nant, for it was stirred to itß utmost depths by the
prospect of a great deliverance. After four long
and weary years, a war almost illimitable In the
extent to which It had spread, and wholly un
paralleled In the magnitude of its sacrifices
and its sufferings, had, by wisdom In the Oabl
net and valor on the field, been brought so
near a close that all men saw, and rejoiced in the
peaceful end. As was natural, under suoh circum
stances, the thunderous report of holllday artillery
shook the morning air; bonfires and illuminations
lighted the evening sky ; flags and streamers
danced gaily on every breeze; unaccustomed hands
grasped each other In mutnal congratulations; eyes
of young and old alike beamed with delight, and
reverent lira thrilled with grateful thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the supreme blesslug He had
vouchsafed. Foremost among the human agencies
by which the grand consummation was realized all
recognized the then President of the United States,
To Ms sagacity, to Ms skill, to Ms prudence, to his
adherenoe to the right,
triumph was pre-eminently due,
that the exeroiso of the same
pSrils we
wonder, therefore, that all hearts turned toward?
Mm with sentiments cf earnest affection; no won
der that all tongues spoke or Mm in words of glow
ing praise; no wonder that wherever hlrname was
mentioned the shoutings of the exultant people were
fondest, and tbe tumultuous -demonstrations of pa
triotic zeal most vehement and prolonged.
. What a change do we witness to-day! Gladness
is converted into grief; the sable draperies of woe
replace the gorgeous emblems or joy; the din of
festive preparations has ceased; the sounds of mirth
are no longer heard; over all countenances
there is diffused anxious gloom, and sadness and
sorrow sit heavily on all bosoms. For alas 1 alas I
alas! onr good, our tree, our honest, onr noble, our
dearly-cherished President Is dead I Dead in his
prime, and hath not left Ms peer—and all that was
Abraham Lincoln lies stiff and ooldin the-
White House at Washington, where for so tong his
genial amid the darkest hours, dispensed
a radiant cheerfulness, and In the moßt trying
straits reflected a calm oontent. Sly friends, among
the many awful crimes for wMoh tho authors of the
rebellion should suffer the .most condign punish-'
ment here, and for wMoh, unless the testimonies
of Divine retribution are false, they mnst make
fearful expiation hereafter, there Is none that
will count against them so terribly as “the
deep damnation of Ms taking off ”—the foul, base,
and -brntal murder of .the best oltlzen, as
well as the Mghest officer of tbe Republic—
tho fiendish assassination of the gentlest and kind
est being that ever administered public affairs,
whose dally life, even under the severe pressure of
the mb&t arduous duties arid the gravest cares, was
a constant IMustratlon of charity and love. Already,
Indeed, the avenging Nemesis la In swift pursuit on
their traok. Even now, while the miserable wretch,
whom their evil teachings and example urged to
the commission of the blackest of all deeds, skulks
and stivers lndreadful anticipation of hisdoom; now,
while the arch-traitor whom the? lately hailed as
chief, like the primal fratricide, is a fugitive and
vagabond on the earth; there ascends unto tho judg
ment-seat, wMoh they made vacant, a sterner ruler,
who has been taught by his own wrongs the enormity
of their offending, and whose ears are open to hear
and Ms sinews stretched to answer to the cry of out
raged humanity. And who, in tMs crisis, shall ven
tnre to stay the uplifted arm of justice t Who, con
templating the virtues and the rate or Abraham
Lincoln, shall aßk for mercy to Ms slayers 1 Who,
recalling the ravaged fields, the desolated homes,
the slaughtered Inhabitants of Eastern Tennessee,
can hope for forgiveness to the spoilers from An
drew Johnson 1
Mr. MoMlchael then introduced Bev. Phillips
Brooks, who offered the following impressive
prayer:
Almighty God, the Sovereign Baler and Com
mander of the World, In whose hands are power and
mighVwhfeh none are able to withstand, we look
up to Thee for comfort and consolation In this dark
hour of bereavement. O Lord of life ana light, we
invoke Thy presence and favor In our midst. The
Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; bleßsed
be tbe name of the Lord! Lord help us, roWe are
unable to help ourselves. We look up to flee for
strength. We thank Thee for the gift of suoha
President. We thank Thee that Thou didst put it
Into the hearts of this people to ohoose a man so
full of goodness and truth and faithfulness; of pa
tierce and serenity and composure; of such wisdom
to perceive the truth, and suoh steadfastness to do
It- We Hiank Thee for the earnestness with whioh
ho laid hold upon the great purposes sot before
“ 5 1 , . . calm and wise perseverance with
■ Which he followed It. Wo thank Thee that his eye
was permitted to see the first-fruits of hla labor
*n the dawn of returning peace. We thank
Thee that as we stand by the grave of'so great a
President, we can feel that he has been aklndly
father to all his " people, and that to all alike, from
the highest in the land to the poor slave, long trod
den under foot- ho had proved himself so good a
brother, and friend. We pray not for vengeance,
but for justice. Make bare Thine own arm, and do
the work that must now be, done. Leave ns not
until every vestage of the accursed thing that has
wrought us this fearful wrong be done away. O
God ! Thou hast Thy-martyr for Thy cause; assert
that cause until slavery be rooted out from all the
borders of onr land. We pray for the afflicted fami
ly of onr beloved President, Comfort them In their
wire affliction ; Mftup the light of thy countenance
upon them, and give them peace. And we pray
for Thy gracious favor to bo bestowed on him,
who, in Thy Providence Is raised up to rule over
this land. Come Thou to him in wisdom and
strength. Give him oourage and discretion. Make
hla staff strong,-and let the spirit that was In him
who Is taken away, fall upon him. We pray
for Thy servant, now lying, stricken by the hand
of the assassin. Bring him up again from the jaws
of death, and suffer us not to lose the advantage of
his wisdom, and patriotism, and zeal for our coun
try’s good. We bend onr heads before Thee that
Thy oonsolatlons may come down upon us. Here,
ln the presence of the memory of Thy faithful sen
vant, we pledge ourselves anew to Thy servloe.
Hold ns up, until the great ends of Thy providence
be fulfilled, until all the wrong that has oursed onr
land be righted, and the Iniquity of onr fathers be
done away. May none of us nesftate or falter, until
Thy work Is done, and until thine own peace return
and rest upon us. Our Father, who art in heaven,

The following preamble and resolutions were then
read by Horaoe Blnney, Jr,, Esq :
PBBAKBIB ADD EBSOOTTIOWS.
An awful event has stricken and shocked the
hearts of the members of the Union League of Phila
delphia, and of every true friend-to his country.
Abraham Lincoln, thetwiceohesen President of the
United States: the unselfish and devoted patriot;
the friend of all men and of humanity; “ who never
willingly planted a thorn ln any man’s breast
while tbe first rays of the Clear sunshine of a con
summate victory ror the Union were still lighting
np his countenance; sitting without a personal
guard, which he always rejected; and without a sus
picion, which his heart never harbored; In the pre
sence of Ms wife and family, and surrounded by
friends and smiles to partake of a public recrea
tion; for tbe gratification of a happy community,
has been shot to death by the pistol of a dastardly
miscreant conspirator and assassin.
No personal hostility oould have prompted the
execrable deed. There never was a man, public or
private, who gave less occasion for personal ranoor
against him. No one ever Imputed a fault to him
as a public man, but the benignity of Ms heart,
which ceuld hardly come up to the demands of
vindictive public justice without pain and re
luctance. Personally he could not hare been an
object of malice. But he personated and represented
the Union and Its loyal people. The assassin repre
sented the spirit of rebellion, and the great oou
sptraoy against the Union and the Government
bequeathed to us by our fathers, and vouchsafed to
them by the benlflcence of heaven; and what se
cession oould not achieve against our arms, the In
fernal malice of the representative assassin has
superintending and sustaining
it la a blessed jnemqry which pjrvlYes Win
ever survive with the name of this nobleancLcoura
geons President, that while he oontemplatedeyen
this oruel result to himself,Ae heveF suffered the
tear of It to disturb him in the onward much of Ms
duty. ■ . • • :
Hear Ms own words in Ms first Presidential mes
sage : • f
“AS a private citizen the Executive could not
have consented that these institutions shall perish,
muoh less Could he, In betrayal of so vast and so sa
cred a treat as these free people had confided to Mm.
He felt that he had no moral right to shrink, nor
even to count the chances of hit own life. In what
might follow.” ...
His last inangnral, on the fourth of March, is a
sublime manifestation of the righteousness of hie.
moral and political faith which even England ac
knowledges and respeots, and wMoh posterity in
this land will never suffer to die,
Neverhasany event so maddened and then melted
the heart of an entire people. The first Impulse of
every honest heart was to cry out for the lightnings
and thunderbolt to smite the wretch to the earth, to'
consume him to asheß, and to scatter Ms ashes to tbe
wind as unworthy of the earth. The next ahd better
Impulse has been to listen to and obey .tbe voice
from above, ** Vengeance is mine; I will repay.”
Never baa any man, public or private; been so
wept and deplored. Never has universal rage been
so instantly succeeded by universal tears. The
whole people are In tears In the presence of victory,
the uplifting of the flag of honor and restoration on
the walls or Fort Sumpter, and even on the Besor
rectlon day of odr Lord and Saviour, the Prince of
Victory and Peace.
Honoring the noble character, the pnre principles
and the political services of President Llnooln, as
the Union League of Philadelphia has always done,
we relieve our own hearts, and add their testimony
to tbe tribute of the whole people by adopting the
following resolutions:
Ffr*f. That we honor the name of Abraham Lincoln,
our twice elected President, and will ever honor it. as
that of a most pure and unselfish patriot, as a wise
hearted and sagacious leader and administrator of the
country, which from a beginning that lay in weakness
snd unpreparedness for the crisis then upou'it, with
nothing but Ms firm heartand good purpose under Qod
t® rely upon, has been brought by the spirit and power
of Ms Administration to a position of preparation and
strength, from which It may now look wiih confidence
over the entire domain of the nation, as soon to be
reclaimed to Union, universal freedom, and concord.
Second, That we loathe with our whole hearts the
pistol and dagger of the asassin, and with seaaoely less
abhorrence the lash ot the slave-driver and the starva
tion of Imprisoned soldier,; and that we ehonld' witness
with joy and hope such manifestations of sympathy-m
the South, in detesting and denouncing this execrable
cilme against.humanity and against heaven, as will
become the omen , and precursor of our fraternal eon
cord In all things, and of the redemption of the old
Union from the sin ot treason and secession, to order,
law. freedom, and peace.
Third. That no change in the head of this nation by
assassination, nor any other event, will shake the
Union Lessee of Philadelphia from the firm purpose
for which it was iußtitnted, the devotion of life, honor,
and estate to Die defence of the Union against all-as
saults, and to secure Its transmission to our posterity
ae onr fathers transmitted it to us, without one star ex
tinguished or dimmed, or one bar of its stripes effaced.
Fourth. That we here by pledge ourselves to Andrew
Johnson, who, In the Providence of God, ie now pi iced
In the ohalr of the lamented Lincoln, as President of
the United Slates, to sustain Mm by all our efforts In the
same principles and purposes which hts predecessor
has now sealed, as a martyr, with his bfooe.
Fifth. That we call upon onr fellow oiiizens through
out tbe land to join with ns In reverently Invoking for
President Johnson, in the performance of the high
dnties of his office, the protection and support of Al
mighty God. In whom he has publicly declared hie

message of him whoso mantle we trust has now fallen
uponhia snccessor: ‘'Having thua-chosen our cause
without anile, let us renew our trust In God, and. go
forward without fear and with manly hea> ts " .
Resolved , That we have received with the most uu
tuallfird satisfaction the information that it Is the pur
pose of President Johnson to retain la his own Cabinet
the able and faithful Secretaries of Department, whose

so well vindicated by their successful perform ante of
the arduous duties of their public trusts.
Resolved. That the Union Los.ua ot Philadelphia

Secretary of Stale, their most earnest and profound
ayu pathy underthe unparalleled and craellontrages In
flicted upon him and upon the members 01 his house

and for the maintenance el all its rights, both abroad

another copy to the widow and children of the late
Pr, Bident, with the assurance of onr moat heartfelt
sympathy and condolence with them in their over
whelming affliction.
The resolutions were seconded by Charles Gib
bons, Esq, who said:
HFKEOH OF CHABLBS GIBBOUS, BSQ,
Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Bentlemm:
* ‘ Treason has done it e worst! nor steel, nor poison.
Nor malice domestic, foreign levy—nothing
Gan touch Mm farther!**
Slavery has done its worst! Its hatred of all that
Is jußt and pure, its malevolence, Its brutality, Its
violence, its heartlessness, its treachery, Its defUnoe
of every law, human and Divine, are all embodied
lu that miserable assassin who murdered our good
President as he sat, In supposed security, in the
capital of our country, by the side of his wife. They
are embodied too in that twin repreeentltlve, who
entering a private house at midnight, on a pre
tended mission of meroy, rushed to the bedside of a
sleeping, helpless, and almost dying man, plunged
his dagger into Ms throat, and struck'down Ms sous
who were watching by Ms Bide.
These were not the deeds ef two Individuals, but
repmentatlve acts, committed by the right hand
and left hand of slavery, wMoh Illustrate and ty
pify Its soul and its spirit; one and the same spirit
which gathered and ruled those secret sooletles In
the North and In the South, where the rebellion
was hatoned. It is one and the same spirit that car
ried murderous weapons into the halls of Congress,
and swaggered, and heotorert, and threatened when
ever Its Influence was baffled.
One and the same spirit that struck a United
States Senator from bis seat by a murderous blow;
without warning or provocation, because he would
not worship it. -
One and the same spirit that organized a band of
murderers to take the lire of Abraham Lincoln,
stile on his way to the seat of Government, to as
sume the duties of the Presidential office, to which
the American people had called Mm.
One and the same Bplrlt that has “ poured the
sweet milk of concord Into hell,” and marks Its
snpremaoy-everywhere with human blood.
One and the same.spirit that burned the flesh
from the bones of our gallant dead, and fashioned
them Into trinkets for the necks of Its Jezebels.
One and the same spirit that entered the hotels of
a neighboring city In the garb of peace, and sought
to envelope women and children In the names which
It seeretly kindled.
One and the same spirit thatmassaored ourtroops
at Fort Pillow, after they had surrendered as pri
soners of war.
~ .One and tho eamu cpt-it that starved, thousands of
our .soldiers to death in the prison pens of Georgia
and Carolina, where they were crowded—wltb. no
covering bnt the sky, or the storm clouds that burst
over them.
It is a spirit that never looks up to Heaven for
what is just, bnt looks ever in the dust for some
worm to tread upon, or some living creature to tor
ture.
It Is tbe spirit that excludes the brave and faith*
fnl soldier of the Republic from a Philadelphia
railway car If the Creator has Colored Ms complex
ion too much, but surrenders its seat to the wMte
traitor, who elapß his hands with joy over the mur
dered bodyjpf our President.
It is the spirit that exults In the deed of the as
sassin, and hides Itself from popular indignation
behind the black weeds of sorrow.
. What does the law demand for this foul murder of
our honored President, of whom It must be said that
of those becoming graces—
■'As justice, verity, temperance, stablenessr
Bounty, perseverance, mercy, lowliness,
Devotion, patience conraxe. fortitude.
Hb SELISBED Ail.!”
Be relished all—slavery hated all, aud therefore
slavery murdered Mm! The law is offended; what
will satisfy It 1 It asks no more than the death of
that one miserable man, the mere Instrument of the
murder. But-will that satisfy tMs mourning na
tion 1 Surely, no I What then wonld your strloken
hearts demand 1 What can satisfy them bnt the
everlasting death of slavery Itself, the head aud
front, the life and soul or treason, rebellion, aud all
their attendant crimes. What cau we pray for, but
that justice may sweep the land like a whirlwind,
leaving behind It no traoe|of that foul spirit, wMoh
has brought this deep sorrow and humiliation upon
the nation, but only that blessed aud glorious liberty
whloh will satißly the ordinances of God. Should
this be the result of the murder of Abraham Lin
coln, and we could hear his voiee onoe more, It
would come ringing to us from the courts of Heaven
in hallelujahs for the nation’s victory over the pow
ers of hell!
, The time Is coming! Andrew Johnson sits in the
seat of power. He has walked the pavements of
slavery, and sat In its towers. He knows the spirit
with wMoh he haß to deal. In the Senate it flatter

In vain!

A meeting of the Republican Invincibles was held
at Concert Hall, last evening, to give expression to
their feelings on the death or the late Chief Magis
trate of the united States. The room was well filled
with ladles and gentlemen.
The meeting was called to order by the President
of the Club, G. Inman Richie, Esq. He said the
act committed in Washington a few days since was
unparalleled in the annals of Mstory* He proceeded
to give a sketch of Abraham liinooln from the pe
riod when he first addressed a meeting of Republic
cans in New York, and paid a glowing tribute to
the action and memory of the departed, patriot.
While he did not advocate.the wholesale slaughter
of men, yet he believed those who commifctedtrea-
Bon should be hung; and he believed he spoke the
sentiments of the people of Philadelphia' when he
said that Robert E, Bee should be of that number.
[Uproarious applause and cheers.] If therejwere
those in rebellion who could not be reached by law,
then It was our duty to shake them from us, and
never associate with them. With a firm reliance in
God, he believed that President Johnson possessed
the genius to lead ns through our difficulties. The
time has come when we must speak of treason as
treason, and treat traitors with the severity due to
them.
Richard lu Ashurst, Esq., introduced the follow*
i bg preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, Tie Republican Invincibles of Philadel
phia, in common with the loyal citizens throughout the
land, ate appalled at the immeasurable calamity which
the nation has suffered in the violent death of his Excel
lency Abraham Lincoln, the lata President of the United
States; and.
Whereas, It is fitting that some public expression
should be given of the feelings of a club that was or*
lanized in 1&60 to promote the election* and reorganized
in 1884 to promote the re elec.ion of Abraham Lincoln
to the high office which he lias so. gloriously filled;
therefore,
Resolved, That* in the national bereavement which
we axe called upon so suddenly to mourn* the country
has lost a Chief Magistrate whowaslin the truest sense
*;the lather of his people;** whose heart beat respon
sive to their affection*; whose incorrup ible integrity
was their sure relianse in the darkest hours of treason
and corruption, and whose singular and characteristic
sagacity was their unerring guide through the mazes
and intricacies of a frightful rebellion.
Resolved, That the oxime which has deprived us of
our Chief Magistrate at such a moment of victorious re
joicing has no parallel in hUto* y, whether we consider
the character of the victim* the principles wMch he
typified, or the motive of his assassin.
Resolved, That, behind the caitiff who struck the
fatal blow, wereoognixe clearly and unmistakably the
remcrceless hand of slavery, which has threatened the
life of the nation, and will continue to strike at its
der rest interests so los g as its existence is permitted.
Resolved, That it is manifest in this last and culmi
nating act of the rebellion that the spirit of hostility to
the borth and to the principles of liberty, that lie at the
root of her institutions, is still as lively and intense as
fcvtr, and that it is not to be overcome by the mere
triumphs of our arms, but that nothing less than the
stern, unrelenting, and summary infliction upon trai
tors of the penalties due to their treason will save us
from a repetition of the horrors inflicted upon us in the
past by the wretched minions of the slave power.
Resolved, That it is our earnest hope and trust that the
new Chief Magistrate, his Excellency Andrew lobnaoa.
chores as the Tice President by the people because of
his unswerving and courageous loyalty in the dark
days of 1860 and 1881, will continue: fearlessly in
the career which he has hitherto pursued, aud
we pledge him and his administration Ml the
support that loyalty and patriotism alone can
five, and we earnestly pray that the Almighty will
lees and guide ail Ms measures* and will enable him
to'ltad.the nation safely through the eriais that yet
awaits u.
Resolved, That the utmost caution is urged muon the
Government in its.adoption of a policy of rscmsfcrac*
tion after the organized l armies of tee rebellion shall
-have I»e*n destroyed, and that no rebellious State
should be permitted to tend a delegation to the Ration- ‘

J- M. SooTell, of New Jersey, said the
splritthat struck down Broderick hath hasaßSlnated
onr President. CJUvalry shonw now shrink. It
had struck down a.Senator lh the Halls of Congress:
It had put fire hundred thousand patriotic soldiers
In the grave, and row this same chivalry had swept
down the best heart In America, if not on all the *
earth. Well may thepijttzens of Philadelphia weep
and hang their city with the habiliments of woe.
Let ns have no more fears of retaliation: on the
part of the South. What we want now is justice'
and not mercy. [Applause.] Abraham Ltnoola
has said that he never loved power for the sake of
power. Let the young men of this land write that,
npon their brows. ■”
The speaker referred to the decision of Chief Jus
tice Taney, and said, when he made It he fonrot the
doctrine of-Franklln, .that this Government was
founded on religion, and had entirely eschewed the
teachings of .1 oiler eon. The decision that the co
lored man had no rights that a white man was bound
' to respect Rhould now read, » The rebel has no rights
that ® Union man is bound to respect [The ap
plause was new deafening, and continued for seve
ral minutes.] During the past forty-eight hours the
speaker had become the most confirmed Abolition
ist, and he loved the loyal blaok man better than
any Northern man wlth-Southeruprlnelploa. or any
'rebel in arms. The’duty of the hour forbids us per
mlttlng any one to express sympathy with the acts
or rebels. The speaker again referred to the late
President, and said bis name would shine as bright
as angels for all time, >whlle that of; Jeff-Davis
would lie howling in desolation. He concluded by
saying that If George Washington made the Re
public, Abraham Lincoln saved It.
Mr. Richie now announced to the audience, which
by this time was very large that Booth, the as
sassin had been arrested in Greenburg, Pa.' [ The
audience arose and the scene was one hard to de-
scribe. Ladies waived their handkerohlefs, and
men cheered, Mapped their hands, and stamped
their canes' upon the floor.]
Alter quiet waa restored Major Wm. MeMlehael
was introduced and said he understood that cry,
which bad jußt gone up, and it.was for vengeanos.
He eulogized the late President-add read a Copy of
the letter] written by him to the mother who had
lost six sons In the army. The speaker, os well as a
nnmber of the audience, were afl'eofced to tears by
the touching letter. Other members of the club
made short speeches, after which, the mwttog ad

BOARD OF TBADB. ,
The stated meeting of the Board for thufflonHi o
April had been called for 12 o’clock noon, instead
of evening, in anticipation of the proposed Ulnml
nation, but the great oatastrophe ,whioh has over
taken the nation changed Its purpose, and In taking
the chair the vice president ol the Board and presi
dent elect, John Welsh, Esq, Said: *t j
That in view of the.great calamity ,whlfch the
community bad been called uponto lament, the
atrocious and unnamed crime which had been per
petrated In the murder of the President, all the or
dinary business would bo postponed, and tin potion
of the Board would be oonflned to the consideration
of suitable action in reference to that tragical
event. He said that in view of this occurrence he
ielt himself unable to oommand language adequate
to the expression of his emotions.
He continued in a feeling and eloquent tribute to
the oharaoter of Mr. Lincoln, and closed by saying,
that whoever may have been the prompters of this
crime, and whatever may have been its motive and
its purpose, we have the oonsolation of knowing
tbatit has entirely failed of success. The functions
-of the Government have not for an hour been inter
rupted, and how move on harmoniously and firmly to
the gtand consummation of a reunited, regenerated,
and emancipated Country, one and indivisible, un
der the leadership of a man qualified and competent
to sustain the great commission. ■ «■
Mr. Stokes then presented the /oljowing resolu
tions, which were read by the secretary:
Whereas, Tula Board has learned with emotionsof
he deepest torrow of the death of Abraham linioln,
iTealdent of the United States, stricken down by the
hand or the assassin; therefore, '
Resolved, That we mourn the loss of one of our best
and bravest, of our purest, most suasions and de
voted patriots
Resolved, That the manner of the death s! our late
Piesldent, Abraham Lincoln, is a fitting iuustration
and an appropriate commentary upon the morals Super-
Induced by the institution of African slavery.
Resolved, That the crimes of official perjury, of sedi
tion, privy conspiracy, and rebellion, ought not to (0
unpunished, but the leaders in this most wicked rebel
lion should not escape the fall penalties or the law.
Resolved, That we may safely promise to his excel
lency Andrew 1 Johnson, the successor of President Lin
coln. the loyal support of the manufaeturluy and com
mercial community of Philadelphia In-all wise'coun
sels. In all just measures. In derence of the luteirlty of
our country, andaxainstall enemies whereslever they
may be found - i
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings ahaH'be
respecttuily transmitted to the President of she United
Mates.
Mr. Tatham then addressed the Board In Support
of the resolutions, substantially as follows:
Four years ago, upon'the occasion of the attack
upon Fort Sumpter, at a public meeting In this
place, called by the Philadelphia Board- of Trade,
we pledged-the manufacturing and commercial
classes, whom we represent, to a loyal support of
the national authority, then outraged by Southern
traitors, banded in arms for the ruin of their coun
try. . By special request I had preferred resolutions
to be offered this day, full of congratulation that our
fledges were redeemed, and of joy over tho down
fall of the negromongers’ rebellion. I intended to
ask you to exult with me over the annihilation of
the incendiary Imposture of State sovereignty,
and upen the triumphant vindication of tire
national supremacy of the Imperial Republic. I in
tended to express the gratification which every true
man must -ieel that-the disgraceful stigma, the
moral leprosy of African slavery shall be every-'
where eradicated from our land; a measure called
for by the highest principle-justified by the law of
national self-preservation—executed under that law
to which the anarchists (Injudicial blindness) them
selves appealed—l mean the law of the strongest.
Finally, it shall be confirmed forever by the national
Constitution, It ls the undeniable truth that the
causes of this oivil war originated In British rapa
city, by which slavery was forced upon this coun
try. The single State of Virginia, before the Revo
lution,-paesen no less than twenty-three acts of as
„B,£yo of whioh were
vetoed by the British Crown.
I Intended to offer utterance to the indignation we
all must feel against the British Government and
people for their Incessant Insults and exultation over'
our great calamity; for their hurried accordance of
belligerent rights at sea to traitors possessing nei
ther ships nor seamen, —wrttrtTiinr m - tme
or a navy other than those British cruisers fitted
out In FatgUsh- harbors to destroy ourheifflesß mer
chantmen, Congratulatory resolutions- ere out of
flaoe to day. The terrible calamity- Which has"
aid low that just -man who was raised up by
Providence to oonduot us aafefely throffgh a-dread
ful war, that parricidal crime without a name,
leaves no honest heart prepared for exultation even
over the successes he was Instrumental lu pro
ducing. I have preserved the London 1 ' Time* of
Ootober 21,1862, editorially commenting upon the
Emancipation Proclamation, These leaders of the
British press aotually libelled President Lincoln
“as another King of Dahomey!” They ask, “Is he
to be classified among that.oatalogue of monsters,
the wholesale assassins and butchers of their kind 1”
Yet, if our martyred President had a milt, it was
in the exceeding kindness of his nature, Iteug-
Sested too great leniency towards the most dlabo
cal of criminals. It required the moral obliquity
of a Southern assassin and of British sympathizers
to call him tyrant! The American character Is not
vindictive. President, Lincoln was a specimen
man, from the ranks of our people.
Aristides was called the Just. In our more home
ly vernacular we used to say “ Honest Abraham
Lincoln.” That title will be justified IaHU time to
come- We can proudly hold up the spotless charac
ter of Abraham Lincoln and his most honoraple ca
reer, and exhibit to the malignant arlstoorats or
Europe the sort of men that free American institu
tions can produce.
As for the prospect before us, there Is every reason
to hope, from the decision of character, the firmness
and high principles of his successor, that justice
and judgment shall he well and liberally exeouted.
He shall have our unfaltering support in the great
mission that has fallen to his lot—the binding up of
the wounds of the nation, and- the maintenance of
our glorious fiag against all enemies at home or
abroad.
Mr. George L. Bnzby then spoke as fallows :
As a member of the Board, tbo resolaUons just
submitted have my unqualified approbation. The
time has coma when plain speaking most be used.
Henceforward things must do called by their proper
names, and crime dealt with according to its deserts.
We want no more feeble oiroumloonUons about
slavery. ThaukfJodthat this day the business men
of Philadelphia, through this Board, place the re
sponsibility of this awml murder upon the foul In
stitution whose unsleeping malice is ever 'breeding
crime. j
The only error that we can charge to the pure and
generous soul of Abraham Lincoln is the tenderness
he display ed-to traitors, hoping to win them back
by love to their duty to their country. He knew not
that their black hearts were susceptible of no touch
of gratitude j that, with the instinct of utter vlle
ness, they hated him only the more for his goodness,
They interpreted generosity as weakness, and have
doomed thesnselveß to swift destruction hy murder
ing their best filend. ..
. Ho you wonder that they were capable of this base
crime 1 Is there any deed'at which men would
hesitate who. sell their own offspring, and lash
naked women till they bleed and pray for death 1
Are monsters like these longer to defile onr country
and assail otir liberties! Shall not rather stem
and inexorable justice pursue these ruffians till
they and their accursed Institution shall perish
from the earth! ,
As for Abraham Lincoln, never was man so deeply
mourned. His gentle nature and kind considera
tion for others, had won him a place deep in all onr
hearts. At the news of his assassination we were
tint dor-stricken, as If visited by an Incdndelvable
calamity. Men, women, and ohlldrenlwept with
unrestrained sorrow, as though they had lost an
Indulgent father. Bat that softened feeling was
accompanied by the Inexorable resolve that the
nation Bhall be saved by th&punlshment of traitors,
and the banishment to hell or the foul Bystem*whioh
engenders anoh hideous crimes. -
My friends, we should be leg? than men If it this
hour we entertained other Noughts, for
“TOis man hath borne his faoaUhs so meekly. *
And been bo clear in bis treat office.
That bis ifirtnea plead like angels, trompet-tongned.
Against the deep damnation of his taking off. **
In conclusion I say ksaln, it is a matter of con
gratulation that hereafter we shall stand upon fry*
moral ground, and wage unequivocal and unoeas*
mg war upon slavery. AH classes shall henceforth
* n . tWs purpose, and hail Us down
fall with universal rejoicings.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted,, and
the Board adjourned; 1 .

ana passed resolutions of joy over the successes
which hare attended upon onr arms. Since then
the nation has suffered as severe a calamity that
could have happened to It, In the murder of Abra

honor, a man admired of the loyal people of all na
tions, has firilen by the blow ofanassassln. I look
upon the act of this traitor as a representative act: It
was an act which the Southh&ve hoped and probably
prayed for. Onr President has raflen, I doubt not,

our feelings on this occasion I As a body It might
be a fitting mode to adjourn onr sohools for the space

GREAT EXCITEMENT ON CHESTNUT STREET—
INNOCENT HAN BEATEN.
Yesterday afternoon about 4 o’clock one man
struck another In the crowd near Third and Chest
nut streets, upon the presumption that he had
spoken disrespectfully of the late President Lin
coln. Instantly the cry of “ Copperhead” was
raised, and the excited orowd became wild in their
efforts to kill the man at once. Officer Kendlg, who,
fortunately, Is a very athletio man, rushed into the
Orowd, secured the man, and called npon the elti
zens to sustain the law. By hard work he suc
ceeded in running his prisoner to the station-house,
two squares: distant, during which the orowd dried
out, “Kill the Copperhead!” He andthe officer
were roughly used, but finally the prisoner, bruised
and bleeaing, was landed in the station- The crowd
was composed of temporary maniacs. But several
squads oi officers speedily coming, something like
order was restored.
An attempt was sow made to “tear the Age
office outand the swaying multitude, police
officers, women and children,, horses and ve
hicles, moved in the mighty hnman avalanche.
The local telegraph was already in motion, and
In a few minutes large detachments were at
the scene of disturbance, and the orowd were
forced back, the officers not having occasion to
strike a tingle blow. The excitement lasted half an
honr. Tbe man who was arrested by Officer Ken
dlg, gave his name as Simon Snyder, aged 64 years,
residing on Noble street, above Sixth. He referred
to his neighbors, ol&lmedtoboastronglmionman,
and that he hadsald nothing against President Lin
coln. He had supported him In 1860 and 1864, and
now grieved at his death'as imKm as anybody could.
Mr. Snyder was struck so suddenly by an elderly man,
tnmrhvrwvixld not be able to recognize him. Thus it
will he seen that a Union man was made to suffer
simply because gome one'struok him a blow and
branded him a Copperhead.: Chief Baggies, upon
entering the station alter the excitement had sub
sided, recognized Mr. Snyder as an aoqualntanee
from his boyhood days. He knew him to be an ar
dent supporter or Union principles. Neighbors
called at the station last night, after 1 they had
heard of the outrage, to ascertain, if possible, who
It was that started the riot. They gave Mr. Sny
der an excellent oharaetor. These facts alone
should admonish crowds of people not to resort to
violence. It is evident that Mr. Snyder would have
been killed in mistake, had it not been for Officer
Kendlg,^ 0 whom he may attribute the preservation
