It was your right to do so for it is the proud birthright of American citizens, to scrutinize- and wcigh their public mcu and pubHc meM, urcs by the tegt of tiicir judgnientj their conscience, and their country's laws. j3ut wh;le this j3 true, I feel that I but express your judgment, when I declare my own, that he was truly o yrcat man. Not, however, a perfect man ; not a ' faultless man : not free from human in firmities. Who is that man ? where is he? Of what age, or clime, or race, or kin dred ? Alas, no such name, no such character appears on history's page, save that One, pure, spotless, holy character, the 3Ian Christ Jesus. Rut though not perfect, he was truly great, in the posses sion of thore elements of character which command the respect aud confidence of men, and refiect the glory of the great Creator. Uc was great, in high moral princijtlc. lie did not make loud professions, but he constantly aimed to do right. lie loved with a passionate love the great and im mutable principles of justice and truth, and he sought to give them practical ex pression iu his private walks, and his pub lic acts. Ilis integrity was proverbial a mong those who knew him best. Like iLost of our public men, he was known by familiar appclations, after a custom, per- haps, but too prevalent among us. He is gone, and the sadness of his tragical end must banish from our lips that familiari- jty with which we have uttered his name; the occasion of his first election, one who j now lies cold in death, but who, were he living still, would mourn him as we do to day, said of him in the early days of administration "Mr. Lincoln may at times be wrong ; but the error will bo of the head, not of the heart." A noble tes- timouy, to a noble character ! lie was great, in a true patriotism. He loved his country his whole country; not a State nor a section, nor a class, nor an interest; not a part but the whole, ;sing of God, they siiouid uc perpetuatea. No selfish interest, nor party chains could corrupt or shackle the lofty patriotism with which he laid his hopes, his labors . , . 1 ly declared that lie naa no penai .uju-1 ries to- avenge, aud uo enemies to pumsu; and there were not a few even of his J friends and supporters, who feared test he might be too lenient, in the hour of tri- umph, towards his country's foes. lie was a great man, in intellectual power. Not, it may bo, in the sparkling splendid genius, which burns and dazzles, as it flies to its goal : but in those powers of correct perception, fair analysis, and just inference, which conduct most sure ly to a wise and righteous judgment. In , these, it is not too much to sav. ho ex- . 4 celled : and siirrniinrlni. ns lio wno in ' cabinet and in the field by men of mind ! and character, ho stood erect amonir them. tne i o 1 the peer of all, superior to most, and infc- nor to none. He was great in a firm and steadfast purpose. This is no unimportant clement of a truly great character. Without it, whether in morals, physics, letters, or pol itics, success is scarcely possiblo with it, it is almost sure. Pew possess it in grea ter strength than did our murdered Pres ident. Uc was not easily persuaded. In the language of one of his official advi- scrs, (I quote from memory.) no XT- rrea- tcr mistake could be made, than to sud- pose that his mind was uncertain, fluctu ating, and easily influenced. He was slow and cautious in forming a conclusion, or determining a purpose ; but, once form ed, it was immovable as the everlasting hills." He was great in'rr true pitly. lie did not, iudced, make a loud profession. I do not know that he ever publicly pro fessed his faith as a Christian, although he was a regular worshipper at the Pres byterian Church, of which his wife is a member. Rut, again and again, to minis- tors and others interested iu the cause of Christianity, he has aaid with solemn ear nestness, "1 love Jesus." Every page of his public history, every message, speech or other document, referring to the mo mentous struggle of the hour, bears wit ness to his h'abitual trust in God. And that beautiful, solemn, and pathetic ad dress, delivered on the occasion of his second inauguration, which Rebel malig nity affected to sneer at, as "resembling" the tail cud of a sermon ;" but which even the haughty Rriton has confessed to be full of the simple dignity of a conscientious pious mind ; that address could have come from none other than a heart filled with faith in God. And though the fatal bul let struck him down, without one word escaping from his lips to tell us of his hopes altho' he gave therefore, no dying testimony yet the mute eloquence of a righteous life, a pure and blameless record, assures us that with him, all is xccll." Rut, he is fallen Fallen, iu the hour of his triumph over his country's foes ; when foreign nations, whose ill-concealed hostility, in the most trying hours of our national conflict, was only baffled and re trained by the wisdom and firmness of the President and his able advisers, and who delighted to sneer at this plebeian ruler, so repulsive, iu his elevation to their ex clusive theories of rank and caste when these proud monarchs have been taught to respect, admire, and applaud him; when domestic treason and rebellion has been crushed beneath the iron heel of slow but certain retribution ; when bis civil and military policy has received the almost unanimous endorsement of his countrymen, and his name and fame like those of Washington, are enshrined in every heart in this hour of triumph and of glory, he has fallen ! So let us fall, if fall we must! when our foes arc conquered when our names are honorod when our work is done ! Let us cherish his memory let us fol low in his footsteps, for our country, for Freedom, and for God. As he resolved so-let us determine, that our country shall be One and Indivisible with not one star torn from her glorious banner, not one inch of territory severed from her vast domain, shall be, and forever be, one united Nation. "Dipping the weapons of our patriotism in the life-blood of our murdered President, Freedom's noblest martyr, we will swear at our country's al tar, and in the name of our God, eternal I hatred to oppression ; we will drive Re- l ir u 1 l - :a and jJuman Rondage to 0f darkness whence they came, a that pit and make , 1 i 1 j i.i.i Freedom,g now and Fame's; q Qf the few, th' immortal names That were not born to die !" A Speech by President Johnson. A committee of leading citizens of 111., including tiov. Oclesby, Senator Yate.s ex-Senator Brownins:, and a number other prominent men from that State, made a formal call upon President John - son, in Washington, on Monday last, express confidence in his ability to direct tue anairs or the nation through the pre sent crisis, and to give him the assurance of the support of his administration by the people of that State. Gov. Oglesby presented the delegation in a short speech, to which President Johnson replied as follows : Gentlemen I have listened with pro found emotion to the kind words vou i . .... . . nave addressed to me. The visit of this large delegation to speak to me, through you, words of encouragement, I had not anticipated. In the midst of the sadden ing circumstances which surround -us. and the immense responsibility thrown upon me, an expression ot the confidence ot individuals, and still more of an in fiuential body like that before me. re presenting a great Commonwealth, cheers and strengthens mv heavilv burdened mind. I am at loss for words to respond. In an hour like this, of deepest sorrow, were, it possible to embody in words the reelings ot my bosom. I could not com mand my lips to utter them. Perhaps the best reply I could make and the one most readily appropriate to your kind assurance of confidence, would be to re ceive them in silence. Sensation. The throbbing of my heart since the sad catastrophe which has appalled us, cannot be reduced to words, and oppressed as I am with the new and grcatc responsibility which has devolved upon me, saddened by grief, I can with difficulty respond to you at all. Rut I cannot permit such ex pressions of the confidence reposed in me by the people to pass without acknowledg ment. To an individual like mvself. who has never claimed much, but who has, it is true, received from a generous people many marks of trust aud honor for a long time, an occasion like this, and a manifesta tion of public feeliug so well timed, are peculiarly acceptable. Springing from the people myself, every pulsation of the popular heart fiuds an immediate answer in my own. Ry many men in public life 3uch occasions are often considered merely formal. To me they are real. Your words of countenance and encouragement siuk deep in my heart, and were I even a coward, I could not but gather from them strength to carry out my convictions of right. Thus feeling, I shall enter upon the discharge of my great duty firmly and steadfastly applause, if not with the signal ability exhibited by my predecessor which is still fresh in our sorrowing minds. Need I repeat that no heart feels more sensibly than mine this great affliction ? In what I say on this occas ion I shall indulge no petty spirit of an ger no feelling of revenge ; but we' have beheld a notable event in the his tory of mankind. In the midst of the American people, where every citizec is taught to obey the' laws and observe the rule's of Christain conduct, our, Ohicf Ma gistrate, the beloved of all hearts, has been' assassinated, and when we trace this crime to its cause, when we remember the source whence the assassin drew his inspiration, and then look art th'c result, we stand yet more astounded at this most barbarous, most diabolical assassination. Such a crime as the murder of a great and good man, honored and revered, the beloved and tho hope of the people, springs not alone from a solitary individual' of ever so desperate wickedness. .We can trace the cause through successive steps without my enumerating theui' here,-back to the source which is the spring 01 all oar woes. JNo one can say it tne per petrator of the fiendish deed be arrested, he should not undergo the cxtremest penalty the' law knows for crime. None will say that mercy siiouid interpose ; but is he alone gulity ? Hero, gentle men, you- perhaps expect me to present some idicatiotf of niy future policy. One thing I will say.

If the time ever comes when our people shall fail to defend it, the government will fail, and we shall cease to be one of the nations of the earth. After having preserved our form- of free Government and shown its power" to main tain its existence through the vicissitudes of nearly a century, it may be that it was necessary for us to pass through this or ordcal of intestine strife to prove that this government will not perish from internal weakness but will ever stand able to defend itself against all and to punish treason. Applause. In the dealings of an inscrutable Prov i'deucci and by the operation of the Con stitution, I have been thrown into this po sition.

Dying icords of the Assassin Jfo Confession or repentance A Harden ed Wretch Full Details of the A fair. WashilVgtonVTnVi'saay, April 27,1865. We have just received from the lips of Sergt. Boston Corbett, of Co. L. 16th New-York Cavalry, the' full particulars of his capture of Booth', and the circum stances which compelled him to shoot him. Corbett resides in New-York in Attor-ncy-st., next door to the Protestant M. E. church, of which he is a mombcr. His regiment has been stationed at lcn- fj . .... confirmatory information from" certain paroled Confederate .soldiera. They crossed' the Rappahanncok in a scow ferry-boat at Port Royal on Tuesday night, and had proceeded about three miles beyond that place when" they ascer tained that Rooth was secreted upon tho' place of Henry Garrett. Mr. G. was call ed out, and stated he had been there, but" had been notified bv Rebel cavarlv our cavalry were crossing the river and that he must leave and secret himself. Mr. G seemed to give all the information hoj could, and his son, who accompanied the party here, was especially nctiVe in help-" uiir lcrret him out. He was supposed to have fled to the woods but upon approaching.thd barn he was discovered secreted therein.. When challenged to come out and sur-" render, he, in a very wild and excited' tone, demanded to know who they sup posed him to be, and by. what authority desiring to know of what crime he was charged, and evincing the greatest ex citement, and talking very incoherently-" The officers demanded that he should come forth and give himself up. He re fused to do so, and threatened, to shoot whoever should approach. He said he" was alone there, but would never sur render. Corbett was stationed at a' t corner of: the barn, where there was aboard off and where he was particularly exposed to Booth's fire ; he expressed a desire to go' in and try and secure him, saying' lie was' willing to venture his life in' the encoun ter, and had much rather go in and, at-1 tack him, than to stand in his exposed po sition; but it was so evident that Booth1 meant to sell his life as dearly as possible, that Lieut. Dohcrty would not permit hini; to enter. The officers then gave Booth five" mini utes to surrender, or else the barn would be fired. Nearly a half hour was con sumed in the parley, however, when fiW was set to the barn. During the proffress 1 of the flames Rooth was seen by Corbett aiming his bpencer carbine at one of the men. Corbett, who- is a' deeply religious' man, says Ire praye.d fervently for Booth,' and that God woufd have mercy upon hisf soul; and feeling that he was justified in shooting him to preVent the possible loss' of the life of another innocent man, ap proached the crack in the barn, leveled5 his revolver and fired. nis shot, by a strange coincidence, en tered his bead' in almost' precisely the' same soot thrft President Linr.nl shot, the ball however, passed through' and out of the upper part of nis neck on the opposite side. Booth instantly fell, and his car-' bine dropped heavily with him ; he was' standing at the' time supported by a1 crutch ; his body was" instantly removed1 from the burning barn ; this was just at. -daybreak yesterday, and he lived till' about 7 o'clock. . . In his leather belt which he wore was the "Sic Semper Tyrannis" dirk, he so' tragically brandished upon the stage,' with clotted blood dried upon its blado. This knife, his carbine and two revolvers which he also had upon his ncrson", hold ing otic in his left hand' at the time of be ing shot, and while aiming his carbine were all brought to The Tribune builcT ing here and exhibited at 2 o'colclc, this' a. m. Booth's confederate and companion Harrold, came out of the barn at the' first' in an excited state of ffrgfit and professed' contrition, with his arms upraised. Ho' also audibly besought Booth to surrender without avail however,. Booth, in his forced hauteur, shouted out just before Harrold left himt "Here," Captain, is one man who wants to sur render mighty bad'. He liad but a mo ment previous insisted that no one was? in the barn' with him. narroid" is' pronounced a mean', cowar dly boy. ne says he wishes Willccs; Booth had been dead before he had ever. so.cn him, and then remarked, with ..silly tone and action. "He always liked Mr." Lincolnand was very fond of his jokes.", Harrold has been b'rough't to' tne city and confined as the other prisoners. Booth, before he died, was apparently rational, but talked at random and co'n tra'dictcdv himself as he had done through" out, and he said. "Tell my mother I have died for my.4 country- .Ypugcn tlcra.cn', have spoiled my fun in Mexico.". He seemed conscious of near approach' of death, but died as frivolously and tiard' enc..!' as he had- liY'e'tf. His body was fully identified .b his: initial on his hand in India ink, his me morandum books and other papers and by the Tidrsbnal rcoogition before' j&'d' a- tcr death of the detectfive officers' who knew him . . .

Ilarr'ol'd says by his spur catching in the flag festoouing the President's box, and tripping in his leap upon the stage. He suffered excruciating pain from this -wound, the splintered end of tho "bono1 piercing the flesh.
