for a night, joy cometh in the morning. Thank
God that in spite of this temporary darkness the
mlirniim has began to dawn, the morning of a
brighter day than our country has ever before
seen. -That day will come, and the death of a
hundred Presidents and Cabinets cannot prevent
it. The people confided in the late lamented
President with a firm and loving confidence which
no other man enjoyed since the days of Washing
ton. He deserved it well, and deserted it aIL
'He merited it by his character and by his acts,
and by the whole tenor and tone and spirit of his
life. He was wise, simple and sincere, plain and
holiest, truthful and just, benevolent and kind.
His perceptions were quick and clear, his judg
ment was calm and accurate, and his purposes
were good and pure beyond a question ; always
and everywhere he aimed and endeavored to be,
right and do right: his integrity was all-pervading
all-Outrolling and incorruptible;. he gave his per
sonal consideration to all matters, whether great
or small. How firmly and well - he occupied his
position, and met all its grave demands in seasons
of trial and difficulty, is known to you all—to the
country and to the world. He comprehended all
the enormity of treason, and rose to the full-digni
ty of the occasion. He saw his duty as :Chief
Magiftrate of a great and imperilled people, and
leaned on the arm of Him who giveth power to
the faint and who increaseth strength.
Rev. Dr. Gurley, toward the close of his ad
dress. said: I speak what I know and testify what
I have often heard him say, when I affirm that
that guidance and mercy were the prop ou which
he humbly ntal-habitually leaned, that they were
the best hope he had for himself and for his coun
try. Hence when he was leaving his home in Il
linois and coining to this city to take his sent in
the Executive chair of a disturbed and troubled
nation, he said to the old and tried friends who
gathered tearfully around him and bade him-fare
well: "I leave with this request—Dray for me."
They did pray Gtr him, and millions of others
prjged for him; nor did they pray in vain. Their
prayers were heard, and the answer appears in
all his subsequent history. It shines forth Nith
heavenly radiance in the whole course and tenor
of his administration, from its commencement to
its close.
God raised him up for a great and glorious mis
sion, furnished him for his work, and aided him
in its accomplishment. Nur was it merely by
strength of mind and honesty of heart and feeling,
and persistency of purpose, that he furnished him:
Irisaddition to these things, he gave him credit for
caluiand abiding confidence in the over ruling
providence Of God, and in the ultimate triumph
of truth and righteousness ththugh the power and
the blessing of God. This confidence strength
ened him in all his hours of anxiety and toil, and ,
inspired him with calm and cheering hope, while
others were inclined to despondency and gloom.
Never shall I forget the emphasis and the deep
emotion with which he said in this room to a com
pany of clergymen and others who called to pay
their respects in the darkest days of our civil con
test, "Gentlemen, my hope of success in this great
and terrible struggle rests on that immutable
Mundation, the justice and goodness of God ; and
when events are very threatening rind prospects
very-dark, I still hbpe that in some way which
man cannot see, all will be well in the end, be
cause our cause is just and God is on our side."
Such was his sublime 1111(1.1a-01y faith, and it was
an anchor to his soul both sure and steadfast. It
made him firm and strong; it emboldened hum iu
the patlisea.s of duty, hosseVer rugged and peril
ous it might be. It made him valiant for the
right, for the cause of God and humanfty, and it
held him in steady, patient, and unswen ing; ad
herence to a policy of administration which he
thought, and which we all now think, both God
and humanity required hini to adopt. We ad
mired_and loved him on many accounts, for strong
and various reasons. We admired his-child-like
simplicity, his freedom from guile and deceit, his
staunch and sterling integrity, his kind and tie--
giving temper, his industry and patience, his per
sistent self-sacrificing devotion to all the duties of
his eminent position.
From the least to the greatest, his readiness to
hear and conssder the cause of the poor rind hum
ble, the stifferlng, the oppressed, his charity to
ward those who questioned the correctness of his,
opinions, and the wisdom of his policy ; his won
derful skill in reconciling differences, among the
friendsatf the 'Union, leading them away from ab
stractions, and inducing them to work together
arid harmoniously for the common weal ; his true
and enlarged philauthrophy that' knew no differ
'.erice of color or race,.but regarded all meu us
brethren, and endowed alike by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights, among which are
"life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness:" his
inflexibility of
.purpose that what freedom,had
gained in our terrible civil strife should •neier be
lust, and that the end of the war should be the
end Of slavery, and as a consequence of rebellion;
his readiness to spend and be spent for the attain
ment of such a triumph, the blessed fruits of which
should ItZ as wide spreading as the earth and as
enduring as the sun.
All these things commanded and fixed our ad
miration and the admiration of the world, and
stamped upon his character and life the unmis
takable impress of greatness.. But more sublime
•than any or all-of these ; more holy andinfluential,
more beautiful And strong sustaining, was his obi-
ding confidence in God, and in the final triumph
of truth and righteousness through_ Him and for
His sake. This was his noblest virthe, his grand
est principle—the secret alike of his strength, his
patience and his success ; and this, it seems to
sue, after being near him steadily and with him
often for more than four years, is the principle by
which, more than by arty other, "he being dead
yet speaketh."
Yet by his steady enduring confidence in God,
and in the complete ultimate success of the cause
of God, which is the curse of -humanity, more
than iu any other way, does he now speak to us
and to the nation he toned and served so well.
By this he speaks to his successor in office and
charges him to have faith in God. 'By this he
speaks to the members of his Cabinet; the men
with whom he counselled sa often and was asso
ciated with so long, and he charges them to have
faith in God. By this he speaks to all who occu
py positions of influence and authority in these
sad and triathlons times, and charges them all to
have faith in God; by this he speaks
,to this great
people as they sit in sackcloth to-day and weep
- for him with a bitter wailing and refuse to be
comforted, and he charged them to have faith in
God; and by this he will speak through the ages
and to all rulers and people in every land, and
his message to them 'will be, " Cling to liberty
and right ; battle for them, bleed for them, die
for them, if need be, and have confidence in God.';'
Oh ! that the voice of this testimony rosy xii)k
down into out hearts to-dui, and ones day, mid
into the heart of the nation, and exert its appro
priate influence upon our feelings, our faith, our
patience, and our devotion to the cause—now

by the blood of its most conspicuous defender, its
wisest and nmst fondly`trusted friend.
Ile is dead, but the God in whom lie trusted

The corpse wds then removed to the hearse,
which was in front of the dour of the Executive
Mansion, and at two o'cloh the proci.ssion was
formed. It took the line of Pennsylvania Avenue.
The streets were kept clear of all encumbrance,
but the side walks were densely lined with people
limn the Executive Mansion to the Capitol, a dis
tance of a mile and a half. House tops, portico's,
the windows of every house, and all elevated
points were occupied by interested spectators.
As the procession started minute guns were
fired near St. John's Church. the City Hall, and
at the Capitol. The bells of ill the churches Pir
the city and the various fire engines were tolled.
First in the order of procession was a detachment
of colored troops, then followed white regiments
of infantry', and bodies of artillery and cavalry,
navy, marine and army officers on toot, the pall
bearers in carriages; next the hearse, drawn by
six white horses.
The MEM was promineilt to every beholder;
the floor on which it rested was strewn with ev
ergreens and the coffin covered with white flow

States, fir4ompanies, civil associations,clerks

order of the procession, together with many pub
lic and private carriages; all closing up with a
large number of colored men. The body was
conveyed to and deposited fu the rotunda of the
Capitol.
This was the largest funeral procession that
ever took place in Washington. One hour 40 a
half was occupied in passing a given point. It
was in the higheeL degree imposing" and many
thousands of hearts throbbed in unision with the
solemn dirges as thq procession slowly Moved upon

SPEECH OF PE:iSIDENVJOHNSON
A delegation of citizens froth - Illinois called on
President Johnson, at the National Hotel, Wash
ington City, on the 17th inst. Gm Oglesby pre
sented the delegation, and addressed the Presi
dent as follows :
MR. PRESIDENT : I take much pleasure in pre
senting to you thiA delegation of citizens of Hi;
!lois, representing- almost every section of the
State. We are drawn t, gether in this city by
the mournful events of the past few days, to give
seine feeble expression to the fiTling we, in com
mon with the whole nation, realiie as pressing us
to the earth. by appropriate and Irespectfiff cere
monies. We thought it not inappropriate, before
we shall separate, to seek this interview with your
Excellency, that while the bleeding heart is pour
ing out it, anguish over the death of our beloved
late President, the idol of our State and the pride
of the whole country, , ae may •earnestly express
to you, the living bend of thiS nation, imr deliber
ate, full and abiding confidence-in you as the one
who, in these dark days, must bear upon yourself
the mighty Tespinisibility of inaintannug, defend
ing and directing its affairs.
In the midst of this sadness, through the op
pressive gloom that surrounds us, we look to you
and to a Might inture for our country. The as
sassination of the President of the United States
deeply depresses and seriuntly aggravates the,
entire nation, _but under our blessed Constitution
it does not delay, or fur any great length of time
retard its progress; does nor for an instant dis
organize or threaten its destruction. The record
of your is hole past Mi. is fanididr to us. All the
splendor of your recent gigantic ends to stay the
hand of treason and assassination and restore the
flag to the uttermost hounds of the republic, as
sure that noble State we represent, and we be
lieve the people of the United States, that we may
safely trust its destitile,s in your hands, and to this
end we came in the name of the State of Illinois,
and we confidently believe, fully and faithfully
expressing the wishes of our people, to present
and pledge to you the cordial, earnest and flare.
wiling purpose of our State to give your Admin
istration the strong support ix e have heretofore
given to the Administration of our late lamented
President, the policyof which we have heretofore,
do now, and shall continue to indorse.
THE PRESIDENT'S REPLY
The PregidentAaid :
GENTLEMEN :—I have listened with profound
emotion to the kind' words you have addressed to_
me. The visit of this large delegation to speak
to me through you words of enconnegement I had
not anticipated. In the midst of the saddening
circumstances which surround' us, and the im
mense responsibility thrown upon me. an expres
sion the irence of individuals. and still
mo ida
n in c ntial body like that before me,
repreting a great Commonwealth. cheers and
strengthens my heavily burdened mind. ram at
a loss for words to respond. In an hour like this
of deepest sorrow, were it possible to embody in
words the feelings-of my bosoin 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 assu
rance of confidence, would be to receive them in
silence. (Sensation.) The throbbing of my
heart since the cad catastrophe which has appal
led us cannot be reduced to words, and oppressed
as I am,with the new and great responsibility
which has devolved upon me, saddened with grief.
I can with difficulty respond to you at all. But
I cannot permit such expressions of the confidence
reposed in me by the people to. pass without ac
knowledgment. To an individual like myself,
who has never claimed much. but who has, it is
true, received from a generous people . many
marks of trust and honor for u long time,- an oc
casion like this, and u unwilestation of public
feeling so well tinted, are peculiarly acceptable.
Spnnginglrom thn people myself; et ery pulsa
tion of the popular heart finds an immediate „,
an
swer in my own. By many men in public life
such occasions are often considered merely for
mal. To me they are real. Your wordsof coml.
tem. lice and eacouracement sink deep in my heart,
and were I even a coward I could not but gather
front them strength to carry out my convictions
of right. -
TllllB feeling II shall enter upon tio:diseharge of,
my great duty firmly and steadfastly (applaus,e),
if hot with the signal ability exhibited by my -pre
decosgor, which is still fresh in our sorrow iog minds.
Need I repeat that no heart feels more sensibly
titan mine th.s great affiecnon ' In what I sat Ini
this occasion I shall in4 . olse no petty spirit 111 an
ger 110 feeling Of rervnge; but we hate beheld ili
notable event in the history of mankind. In, the
midst of the American people, where ever) citi
zen is taught to obey the laws and observe the
rules of Christian conduct, our Chief Magistrate,
the beim ed 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, mid then look at the result,
we stand yet more astounded at this most barba
rous, most diabolical assassination. Such a crime
as the murder of ti great and good man, honte4.
and revered, the brim ed and the hope al the peo
ple, springs not alpine' from a solitarloVvidual of
ever so desperate M lehetinPßS. We 'um trace it s
cause through successive steps without toy enu
merating them here—back to the source which is
the spring of all our woes. No one eau say if the
perpetrator of the fiendish d9etl be• arrested he
should not undergo the extreme penalty of the law
known for crime. None will say that mercy should
interpose. But is he alone guilty ! Here gentle
men,-you perhaps expect Inc to present some in
dication,of my future policy.. One thing I will
say, every era teaches its lesson.
•,
The times we live in are not without instruc
tion The American people must be taught, if they
do not already feel, that treason is a 'crime, and
must be punished. (Applausti.) That the Gov
ernment will not always bear with its enemies.
That it is strong not only to protect, but . to punish.
(Appltiuse.) When we turn to the criminal code,
and examine the catalogue of crimes, we there
find arson laid down as u crime, with its oppro
priate penalty. We there find theft and robbery
and-murder given as crimes: and there, too, we
find the lust and highest of eritnes, Treason.
(Applause.) -
With other and inferior offenses our people are
familiar, but in our peaceful history treason has
been almost unknown. The people must under
' stand that it is the blackest of crimes, and will be
i surely punished. (Applause.) I make the WM
ion, not to excite the already exasperated feel
' ings of the public, bat to pond out the principles
of public justice, which should guide our action
at this particular juncture, and -which accord
with sound public morals. Let it be engraver)
upon every heart that treasoa is crime, and trai
tors shall suffer the penalty. (Applause.)
While we are hppalled, overwhelmed at the
fall:-of one man in our midst by the hand of a trai
tor, shall we allow men, I rare not by whatweaps
ens: to attempt the life of the. State with impuni
ty I while we strain our minds to comprehend
the-enormity of this assassination, shall we allow
the nation to be assassinated ? (Applause.) I
speak m no spirit of unkindness. I leave the
crofts of the future to be disposed of as they oc
ean Regarding nn sell as the humble instrument
of the American people, in this as in all things,
justice - and judgment shall be tletermined by them.
I do not harbor bitter or revengeful feelihgs to
wards ally. In general terms, 1 would say that
public morals and public opinion should be estab
lished upon the sure and inflexible principles of
justice. , (Applause,) When the, question of ex
ercising mercy comes betbre me it will be consid
ered calmly and judiciously, remembering that I
am the executive of the nation.
rknov that men like to have their names spo
ken of in connection with acts of mercy, and how
easy it is to yield this impulse. Taut we must
not forget that what may be mercy to the indi
vidual is cruelty to the State. (Applause.) In
the exercise of mercy there should be no doubt
left that this high prerogative is not used to re
lieve a few at the expense of the many. Be as.
sued that I am not to consult my own feelings
alone, but to give an account to the whole people.
(Applause.)
In regard to my future course I will now make
no professions. no pledges. I have been connect
'ed somewhat actively with public affairs, and to
the history of my past public acts, which is fami
liar to you, I refer for those principles which have
governed me heretofore and will guide me here
after. In general, I will say I have long labored
for the amelioration and elevation of the great
=Ss of mankind. Jtv opinions as to the nature
of popular Government have long been cherished,
and constituted as I am, it is now too late in life"
for me to change them. I belive that Government
was made for man, not man fir Government.
(Applause.)
This struggle of the people against the most gi
gantic Rebellion the world over saw, has demon
strated that the attachment of the people to their
Govbrniuent is the strongest national defence hu
man wisdom can devise. (Applause.) So_long'
as each man feels that the interests of the, Gov
ernment are his interests, so long as the public
heart turns iu the righa-dinction, and the people
understand and appreciate the theory of our Gov-«
eminent, and love liberty, our Constitution will
be transmitted unimpaired. If the time ever
comes when the people shall fail it, the Govern
ment will fall and we shall cease-to be one of the
nations of-the earth.
Atter hating preserved our form of free Gov
eminent and shown its power to maintain its ex
istence through the vicissitudes of nearly a cen
tury, it may be that it was necessary for us to
pass through this last ordeal of intestine strife to
prove that this Government will not perish-from
internal weakness, but will ever stand able to de
fend itself against all, and to punish treason. (Ap ,
platuse.)

GOSSIP WITH' OCR FRIE3R3.—The pen of the
gossip refuses to write, andll - tongue is dumb
under the great affliction th has befallen the
le
country. On Saturday the 1 t ,nt six and a half
A. M., I made my accustomed call at the news , '
stand, and to my surprise could procure no pa-'
pers—the only reply to. my question being—"all
sold." I rode down to the Ferry, and found the
news-venders besieged by scores of people rushing
A. papers. , Catching a glimpse of one, I percei
ved the black border, and at once felt sick at
heart, thinking Mr. Seward was dead. After a
struggle I secured a paper, and instantly was sur
rmitided by a crowd of those less fortunate than
myself I read aloud—"'PlLE -PRESIDENT ASSAS-
SINATED !" 31y voice stuck to my jaws, and a
deep groan went up from ali within hearing. The
clock of the world seemed to have stopped. The
old tale of the enchanted palace seemed realized
on a magnified scale. Each one seemed rooted
to the spot where he first heard the dreadful news.
Cars and stages involuntarily checked, porters
stood with their burdens upon their shoulders,
market women forgot their baskets, hungry men
thought not of breakfast, and busy men who had
not intermitted their daily work for years, laid
aside all thoughts of business. Little children
gazed in stupid wonder in the faces of their elders,
the news boys were silent, and old men wept like
children. Knots of men gathered here and there,
indulging in curses loud and deep, no policemen
interfering. No one said to his neighbors, "will
you close up to-day t" but each one, as he recov
ered from the physical shock, hurried off to shut
up his place of business. By the time I had cros
sed the.river and reached Broadway, I found the
news spread like wild-fire. Any one man of in-
Abeam could have aroused such a mob as had ne
ver been befine since the world was made. At
ten o'clock, era at heart. I lett the city for Phil
adelphia. All along the route was quiet and
mourning; flags at half 'mast, and every one sor
rowing and consternated. Upon reaching Phila
delphia I found most of the houses draped with
black, and all places of business closed. Each
friend- that grasped me by the band, acted as
though "Our Father" was dead, aal no other
welcome was vonchaafi.d than a st smile, as
though it would be indecorous to show a sign of
pleasure. Next day, gradually, as men began to
realize the horrid news: and as hopes of Mr. Se
ward's recovery, as well as the capture of the
murderers arose, they began to venture to talk of
the event with some calmness. First of all, Mr.
Johnson. our new - President, and his antecedents
were seriously discussed. a All of tus speeches be
fore and since the war were bunted up and re
read with avidity : and the most careful scrutiny
only gave each (Me the strongest confidence in the
new President. Gen. Burnside's speech, in w hich
the General positively asserted that he knew from
his personal acquaintance with Mr. Johnson that
he was all that the nation required, was accepted
as the statute: and the confidence andsdift.ction
we paid Mr. Lincoln was transferred unanimously
to Aliont:w JOHNSON.
The effect of the news upon the colored people
must not lie a:mocked. The overwhelming grief
of the pj.sir down4rodden blacks is the most
gratethl tribute that has yet been paid the mar
tyred President. Many affecting incidents could
be related, among which I ahall select but three.
One poorold negro, who had been a slave years
ago, rpshed frantically to the house of an old.cit
izen, wringing bis hands in extreme terror. think
ing nowtlott he had lost his only powerful friend,
that he must hemadtra slave once More. A poor
old colored woman was observed to fasten a
ragged piece of black stuff inside of her door to
the latch. This whs real, unobtrusive grief. A
lady passing along Arch street stopped in front of
a-window in which was a likeness of Mr. Lincoln
draped in black. In front of the picture stood a
little black girl with her hands clasped, and ... her
eyes turned up in an attitude of prayer, and the
big tears slowly chasing each other down her
dark cheeks. Well might a minister from the
pulpit declare " that we should riot wonder if in
the future, the negro race should worship Abra
ham Lincoln as du* SAVIOR." Well may the
nation cry, " since thy death, friend and foe up
predate thee alike." Truly is it now said, "The
only event of thy life that has given us pain is
Titytmerm," and the text,:John Il : fio, appears
to be significantly received by the American peo
ple as the fiat of a God. Let us pity and strive
to forgive the men who ignorantly villified and ri
diculed -our great departed President. Let us
leave themio their own remorse: and let film
",dip their pens in his blood andiwrite their-epi.
On Monday I rot tirM.d to New York, and found

of woe that added to the overpowaing sadness.
The Astor House alone had 3,000 yirds of dra

through this great avenue of moaning, and the
busy heart of New York, for the teat time, has'
almost ceased to throb. But in anl through all,
the earnest feeling of sorrow show l by all, rich
and poor, friend and political enetb, is a bright
ray of comfort to the weeping nation. - 7 ,'
