That is a memorable day in any man's life in which he gains a new and- thrilling experience. Experience gives value to life. Experience gives form and force to Character. Exparience.devel ops mind. Experience gives wisdom. Even the experience of a great calamity or a sorb affliction . is not without its value to a well ordered mind. And though painful and crushing at the time, the dark season in which it was endured is afterward looked back upon with the feeling that it has left a rich legacy for the immortal spirit, and afford ed a valuable training for the intellect and heart. What is true of the individual is true also of communities and nations. No national life can be rich or valuable as a source of instruction to mankind which i 4 wanting in a wide and- varied experience. No national chai aster can be fully formed or maturely developed, which has not felt the play of all the main forces which heave and impel the great life-currents of humanity ; and that national history is the richest and irarest, the most interesting and instructive, whicl leads the . student through the most saried and vivid phe nomena of human experience. If these trite remarks be true, we' nay silfely say that the experiences of this coiltitry during the past foucyears, and especially duriiig the past two months, must be exceedingly rich and valu able for all the uses and interests of Il ia le future. Such heights of lofty endeavor, such v t and far reaching problen, such gigantic and portentous perils, it has rarely been the lot of ant' people in so short a space §f time, to attempt abd to con quer:—And swhi extremes and altelnations of hope and fear, of danger and deliveratice, of con fidence and despondency, of exultatiod and grief, it has rarely been pre lot of any peolile to expe rience in such quiik and rap4d succession. This varied and shifting experience has been ours, in greater or less degree, front the time of the first battle of Bull Run until the recent and final de cisive triumph of the national arms. And what an intense experience was that for the national heart when it was called to plunge from the gid diest heights of exultation to the deepest and darkest shades of gloom and grief, as it realized themonstrous and almost incredible fact that the nation's chosen head was stricken down by the dastardlyland of pi / assassin , . The eagle of the Alleghenies, soaring in majesty and pride on his broad wings just beneath the clouds, shot at and, struck in the wing by the well directed aim of the hunter, and obliged to sink and flutter away to the escarpment of some friendly rock, there in" solitude and silence with drooping pillion to nurse his wound and his grief, is but a feeble emblem of the plunge made by the wounded heart of the American people from the.. gilded cloud-land of joy, to the valley of sadness and humiliation. The contrast could not be greater, or the ductuatiodi of' feeling be snore violent, if the bridegroom in his nuptial bear were to fall dead at the feet of. his bride. and the wedding robe be exchanged for ~ the creeds of mourning. The nation seemed to be,in the ecstacy of the-marriage hour—illumina tions and rejoicings and the salvos of cannon from the Atlantic to the rzieifie—" all went merry as a marriage bell," when by, a flash of tidings swept tli fl over the lank d men looked into each other's faces in blai amazement,—the laborer left his toil, the s eat his books, the merchant his wares, —the Ilart of the nation stood still. Such a grief, tp f ell aßorrow will not be forgotten by this generation. Precisely such an experience at; this was per haps never given to any other people. The as sassination of William of Orange was a far more ternble event for the Dutch Republic than the murder of Abraham Lincoln was for us. In point of severity the blow was far heavier. A man of wonderful sagacity, firmness and heroic endu rance, he had concentrated nor] himself in an ex traordinary manner, the affections and hopes of that much suffering and enduring people; and for twenty years he had been the' guiding spirit- of their stubbdrii resistance, to the'gigantic power of Spain. When he fell by the pistol of Balthrustr Gerard the whole - people, like a family of orphaned children, bowed their heads in the dust and wept. But tretwtkin their experience and ours there was this difference. Their blow fell upon them at a time of general disaster and adversity. 'Fhe armies of Philip had been steadily encroaching;' updu their limited territory. Several of their, strongholds had just surrendered, 'lndia general despondency would have seized theqpinds of any less resolute people. But they wZi're inured to suffering. They were accustomed to disaster. They seemed to know they could not be conquer ed, and though the fall of the great Stadtholder added a feeling of momentary paralysis, the mind of the people soon rose above it; and there was not that sudden and violent transition from the exultant feelings of joy to the gloom and sadness of distress which we as a nation experienced. Ours was like a harsh, grating, discord breaking in upon the magnificent ymplionis of the Oratorio of the Creation; or like re:dark blotch cait upon the canvass of Raphael or Titian; or like a - grin ning death's-head appearing amid the mazes of the merry dancer And this is thd event my fellow-citizens which has brought us 4 logether to-day. In view of it, we have assembled at the call of the chief Mag istrate, to humble ourselves before Almighty Cod, and to lift up to the throne of the universe the cid& of confession and supplicatipm For the first timeriii the history of this Republic has its Chief Magistrate fallen by the hand 'of violence. For the first time has assassination, in the form of regicide, raised its bloody hand amid the tem ple of our liberties. That foul and monstrous crime which we supposed to belong to the past ages of despotic oppression and lawless 1 iolence, has suddenly re- - appeared in the middle of this 19th century, and in this Republic in which is being conducted the magnificent experiment of self goVernment. When we have read of the Great Oiesar, - who bestrode the world like a Col opus, falling in his robes by the dagger of Brutusi in the Roman Capital, or of Henry of Navarre' falliQ by the hand of an assassin in the stormy, period of Fninch history, or of William the Silent being shotin his dining room at Dclft by the fanatical emissary of Philip of Spain, we have been accustomed to read of them us we read of the centaurs and hippognffs of mythology, as things that could not he reproduced in. modern history, and as things, especially, that were not to be experted away'from the shadow of European despotisms. That foul crime which has served the double purpose of being the tool of the despot, and the desperate resort of opprelised and mad dened peoples, has suddenly reappeared in this country when there can be no despot, and lb op-, pression save that which the enforcement, of law, visits upon offenders. I • The above discourse was prepared by the late Rev, Joseph Clark to be delivered In the Presbyterian Church of thin plate, on Thursday, the lit inst., the day set apart for humiliation and prayer. Before the appointed day, the author was ,prostrated by a fatal accident, and on the following Sabbath be was followed to the "City of the Si . lentil by a large concourse of sorrowing citizens. The dis course will be read with peculiar interest, not only because of its eloquent truths, but also because it is the last counsel of one whose precepts never fell Upon a listless andience.l IMWERI2 How wonderfully, my friends,have many of the easy and 4nmfortable delusiofis of these latter .years been' dispelled by the hard ordeal of facts! In the midst of the syren song of the peace ten dencies of the present age, in which it was-hoped that arbitration would take the place Of theliword, a congress Ornations supplant contending armies, the arts of iad,aee. the interests of commerce, and the bonds Of trade make war impossible, and lib erty, equality; fraternity be 'the motto of all Man kind—in the midst of this syren song, a civil war, of unparalleled magnitude breaks out amon g us and deluge:s ~the land in blood ; Whilst political economists where theorizing upon the economy ofptzductian and the husbanding of the national wealth, we rush into a war that expends fabulous sums on engines and means of destruction. Whilst we are congratulating ourselves on our compara tive freedom from taxation, and the unequalled cheapness of our government ; we are forced into a war which piles upon us a load of national debt, which perhaps no other nation could successfully carry. Aud new with:all our boasted enlighten ment, our christianity and our common schools, we are called to face the tact 'lif.Ta crime as foul and hideous as. ever blackened the pages of his tory. Verily, says the wise man, that which bath been shall be, and there is nothing uew under the sun! - - In view then of this portentous event, which has come upon us as a-nation, with what feel ings and meditations does it becoMe us to assem, ble together today 2,' shall,we present our selves before the majesty of Heaven and offer du acceptable worship 1 It is designated as a day of humiliation. And in this view there is a pro priety in it which cannot be questioned. It is al ways proper-for such a being as man, in seasons Of special calamity, or public distress, or public crime, to humble himself before Alinighty God; to confess and bewail his sins and shortcomings, and the sins of the people, and to supplicate the favor and blessing of God upon the lipid, and the .rulers and people thereof. 'Whether great public distress, or national calamity, or public crime, can be charged upon any particular form of pub lic sin or not, they are still evidences , of the gene ral depraved and disordered condition of mankind, and as such may properly, lead to allasement and contrition before God. • I am free to confess that I have no theory of the bivine s providence, consistent with the com monly received opinions of , the purposes and me thods of the moral government of thelcorld, which will at the same time involve such a deed as that Which laid low in death the form of Abraham Lin coln on the night of the 14th of April. 'lt must remain to my Mind a dark and Mysterious enigma; so far as concerns its immediate relation to a per sonal God. If it were necessary (humanly speak ing) to remove AbrahaM Lincoln from the head of this government, how 'easy would it have been for God to have removed bins in many wii),-with out involving the monstrous crime t+liich filled the brain and nerved the arm of the assassin. Hat this is a question which we are not competent to discuss, and bon ev'er dark and mysterious it niay be, our confidence in the Divine character and the Divine government must remain fine and unshaken. It is impossible for any Lie man, in any event, to question either the Divine wisdom. 'or the Divine goodness ; or the Divine poser. But 'however defective may be our theories, and however imperfect our grasp of the wide scope and meaning of the Divine Providence, we have clearly before -our view - the hard and palpablefaets of this Providence' as developed in history and life. We have create which are the great instructors of minkind; and we can trace tendencies, we cait discover laws. we can per ceive the current of influences, we can trace the, combinations pad correlations_ of causes which determine events, and herein we study the foot-, steps of Providence and may do so more proper ly than by wearying ourselves with fruitless theo ries respecting the Divine purposes and inten tions: We think it cannot be denied that the act which aimed a-fatal blow at,our lathented Chief Magistrate and at the other heads of Govern me t, was the legitimate% fusser and fruit of the social disorder,' the anarchical violence. and the en venomed madness which have been rolling the - waves of rebellion against the fabric of our Gov ernment for the past tour years. This we think no candid and honest man will dimy, even though . the leaders in rebellion be exhonorated of all di; rect comPlicity in the plot. Thepublished views and opinions of the chief criminal, prior to the act, clearly prove that the inspiration of his hor rid deed was derived from sympathy with rebel lion, and that the climax bf the fatal purpose was reashed through desire to avenge a sinking cause. Set4ssion and rebellion have culminated in assas sination, and a crime against society and against GoverGovernment, nment, has resulted in a crime against man kind. Go forth into the fields and see what les sons nature will teach us. You stand-in the pres ence of a! bush, or fruit tree, or gigantic torest oak. You examind its bark, it is soft and flexible. You examine_ its fibre, it is hard and compact. You exaMine its roots, they go far down into the damp and dark earth. You go vp among the brunches, the leaves give a pleasant shade, and the airt of heaven whisper and play among their ,bow l ers. I You go farther up, and upon the top- - , most twigs, you-find a little flower, which win ri pen into a fruit, a seed, a vital germ. That tim er, that fruit, that seed, is thehjghest representa tive of the vital force of the living organism, its last expression—the most consummate product of the - seminal power of the tree ; small and insig nificant as it seems in itself it required the high est vital force for its &eduction, and beyond it it cannot go, so with this great Southern Rebel lion. If we exainine it at various stages of its-pro gress,fhough_ we may find it ribbed and panoplied in - steel, bristling with cannon, and surrounded -with all the pomp and circumstance of war, though we may find it askuning the dignity of Government and putting forth claims for a posi tion among the nations, yet its float flower and fruit, its last expression, its dying effort, is found in the deed which the nation mourns this day! Like the fabled reptile which thrusts its deadly sting and dies. 'l'be rebellion smote down the chosen! head of the nation, and perished itself amid the execrations of the civilized world. Whilst we mourn and humble ourselves before God this day, it becomes us to remember:sount thiugs, with gratitude. It is a most wise and merciful Provision of God's moral Government that crime generally defeats its own ends; and of ten occasions results quite -the opposite of what was intended. We ought to be grateful that this foul deed was not permitted to occur until it-could do the nation no harm—hut may be an occasion of good. When we look back over the 'vicissitudes of the past four years, and remember how at times the tide of war seemed to surge, against us, and .heart of the people to quail in vivw,of the titanic , task to which the nation was counuittcd, we'ean Point out several periods, in which. had such a blow fallen upon us, the most disastrous' results might have followed. Had an assassin taken the life of Abraham Lincoln and dangerously wound ed the Secretary of State, just atter the retreat . from the Peninsula and the second battle of Rua Rtm, or when our,relations with i ngland.Vvere ili a critical state, or khpn'the hordes of I;*were ponying into Penwlvania, no hnrnon kacity VOL 72....WH0LE could have foreseen the stossible extent of the disaster. We then might have bad no Antietam and no Gettysburg; and the great residta Which have recently culminated in the downfall of the Rebellion, if achieved at all, might have'been de. layed for years, and gained only at the price of exhausting and ruinous expenditure of Motu} and treasure. Whilst therefore we may properly and profoundly humble ourselves before God, I con fess that the severest of his judgments are light compared with . what oar sine might justly ide serve, y tat the same time we may lift up the voice of rateful acknowledgment - and bless God that in udgment he has remembered mercy. Dreadful and monstrous and soul-harrowing as this assassin's deed is, and deeply us it has shroud ed the land in the habiliments of woo, we cannot see that it imperils in any way our national . v, , ell fare. The hour for such danger is past. It was deferred until the Rebellion, tottering to its fall, was too weak to follow up the blow. And whilst we mourn the honored dead, and regret that his generous and magnanimous soul was not permit. ted to live to share in our tfiumphs, we may still rejoice that the cause he loved so well, still lives. Another feeling which it is eminently proper for us to cherish to-day, is the feeling of resolute determination to maintain the great idea of our nationality and unity, for the sake of which so many lives have been sacrificed, and to which Abraham Lincoln has fallen as a martyr. Nevee perhaps in the history of the world, has the idea of nationality in its broadest, most comprehensive Most Ethnic sense, attained so intense, so intelli gent. and so resolute expression, as in the minds of the American people. And this great civil - war, now, we hope so happily ended, has been a war for that idea. An intense and tremendous protest 'in the shape of war, against whatever would disturb or irnperjl that idea in its realiza tion. It has been a war for unity, nationality and strength, against disintegration, anarchy and. weakness. And in this view it was a war for the life of the Republic. For the sake of this all the tremendous sacrifices of the past - four years have been cheerfully made, all its vast burdens borne, and the blood of the nation poured out like water. No, more sublime spectacle could well be afforded to the muse of History, than that of the Herculian efforts put forth bi - - this people, to vindicate an idea. It appears to be a law of God's natural and moral world, that no good thing can be gain ed and held without Tabor and trouble. Hence we see that all the great interests of human-soci ety, all the great achievements of human progress, all the priceless benefits of civilization, liberty, law and religion have been purchased atthe price of human blood and treasure: The ponderous chariot wheels of human progress, ever rolling on through the ages, slowly but surely as the stars move.in their courses, are even found to leave in their track the crushed bodies and mangled limbs of thousands of victims. And now could the mouldering bones be gathered from the swamps of the Peninsula, the fields of Corinth and Chaltanuoga, the hills of Antietam, the cemetery of Gettysburg and the trenches of Petersburg, and piled into one,cloud-kissing monument like Tam erlami's rained of skulls, it might well bear the iuscriptioa "Hallowed by devotion to the gieat idea of American nationality and human progress." And could we go to-day into the stricken and stirrowing homes of this land, where the widoW site in her weeds, and the mother mourns her 'manly son;and the sister weeps for the brother N% hp will never return, -we might read in them all the -terrible ransom which this land has paid for its national life. And espeically could we go to that quiet flu off western town l and stand by the grave of that incorruptible and sagacious statesman who now lies. low in death, we might not only meditao there profitably upon the un certainty of hunean•greatness, but We light read them a part of the-terrible price, enacted by des tiny. which made My a martyr to our national unity. And UM, my hearers, in view of all this, should we not, resolve resolutely to maintain that which leas cost us so much. Should we nut swear by the blood of all the heroes that have fallen in deadly strife, by the wasted forins of the thou sands who, in famishing captivity, have endured a fume terrible fate, and by the sacred sorrow of a nation,- mourning as for a father slain, that we %sill forever maintain the great cause of our na tional unity and life, that sa, e will be true and de voted patriots,loving our fatherland more than ever since its baptisdi of blood, and serving our coun try rather than party. or faction, or local inter est. When William of Orange was slain, in the hour of his country's greatest disaster and dan ger, the gloom'produced by the event wag - tragi cal. Never in human history before was a more poignant and universal sorrow for any individual. The despair was, for a brief season, absolute; but it was soon succeeded by more lofty senti ments. -It seemed, after they had laid their hero in the tomb, as though his spirit still hi.ivered above the nation he had loved so well, and was inspiring it with a portion of his own energy and wisdom. Even on the very day of the murder, the Estates of Holland, then sitting at Delft, passed a resoltition-" to maintain the good. cause, ith God's help, to the uttermost, without sparing gold or blood,"andthis decrde was communicated to all their commanders by -land and sea, and they and ill civil functionaries and people were besought to " bear themselves manfully and valiantly, with— out faltering in the least; on' account of the great misfortune which had occurred, or allowinAem selves to be seduced by any one_ from the union of the States." A noble example . for' us. inY Wow-citizens, to. imitatate in the less severe and trying crisis in which this great atllication has conic upon us. It remains to add but a few words in honor - Cif the memory of the than v‘ hose violent death we mount to-day. I do not propose to speak of Abra- : ham Lincoln as a party man. He is not to be thought of now as a member of this party or that, but as a name dear to every true American heart. That be possessed large capacity, great honesty and singless of purpose, a far secinF and sagacious statesmanship, and great benevolence and kind ness of nature, s now generally, perhaps univer sally, conceded. Beneath his grotesque exterior lay'the jewel of a high and true rannhood, and n'iider his apparent levity and' drollery, lay con cealed a practical wisdom which never failed him. Even his unsparing satirists in England, are now forced to confess that he was a "true-born King of men." But no truer indication need be sought of his genuine and intrinsic worth, than the hen. ors and Obsequies paid to his remains by - the American people, and the deep and heartfelt la mentation over him by the whole nation. As 'hen the rebel cannon opened on Fort Sumter, all party lines in the forth were dropped, and the whole peopl6 rose up as one man to vindicate our imperriled nationality, Ell when the pistol of the assassin had done its deadly work, all party lines - disappeared, and the whofe people, as one Mau, - bowed the head in sorrowaud mourning for Abra- . ham Lincoln! rAnd whatobsequies, what fune ral pageahts, what draping of the bad in the ha biliments of grief; was there* everacteh a prug ' rOs bf a *tan body as that of his from the UP' itat of the Nation round thiongh the great cities . 1)f the eoniineut, to its last resting place in the era follow a funeral train! The instincts of mare - kind nke seldom mistaken, and we may safely as- - same that the subject of all these honors war no common man. And what a monstrous perversion of a senti ment or motto, which in certain circle may have a noble dignity and meaning, was that withwinch the dastardly assassin blazoned his own infamy be fore the world. " sic semper lyrannis." Thus be it ever with ty rants! What! Abraham Lincoln a tyrant! A man in whose nature dwelt not tine single element, which Makes a tyrant A man whose name was a synonym for honesty, and pa rity, and magndnimiti, and generosity, and for sivingsympathy even for the most persistent and malignant of rebels—this nutria tyrant t No ! thou foul-mouthed miscreant—the unanimous voice of civilized men, hurls back with scorn the base slan der. Had some monster in human shape, some. Nero, some Caligula, some Borgia, some :Philip or Alva, Ulen that night to avenge the outraged liberties of men, there might .haVe been some sense and meaning in the sentiment, but not when the victim was one whom all men recognized as a generous and unselfish patriot. - O. 3710 In conclusion. my hearers, there is but one other topic which shall detain us a moment. There are many thoughts still crowd upon the mind on' an = occasion like this, but we will add but one. It; does not become us to cherish feel ings of resentment, or alienation, or hatrej, to- • wifrd those who have been in arms agaidit us, and whose military power is now crushed, and who are beginning to show some disposition to return to the observance of law and order. Deep ly as they have wronged us, and deeply as they have offended against the cause of government and order, they ar(our brethren and fellow-citi- Zeus still, of the same blood, lineage and language, and we trust that in the future their children and ours are to stand shoulder to shoulder in support , of the gorgeous ensign,of the Republic. Now that "wild War's deadly blast is blown,"4lnd the • piping times of peace are, we hope, again- return ing, it becomes us to assuage the animosities which war engenders, and prepare the way for the am- - !Cable relations which can alone form a true basis 'of peace. I pronounce no opinion as to the pun ishment which should be meted out to great of fenders. Whatever duties a true and fridispensi ble regard to the claims of justice and law de mand, ought to be fearlessly discharged. The Safety of the people is the highest law. But I 4 would fain hope these inexorable demands may be fete and brief. All leading offenders will find their own punishment. There is a Nemesis, an avenging divinity in history, whose step is destiny and whose stroke is fate, and the_ guilty will flee him in Vain ! But with the masses of the people, who have been more sinned against than sinning, let us endeavor to prepare 4he,way to dwell to gether iu unity. I cannot do better than close with that magni- _ Scent peroration of America's greatest orator, now clothed with a double significance: •When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time, the sun in the heaven, may I nntaee him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union—on States dissevered, discordant, belligerents—on a land rent with civil fends, or drenched it may be in fraternal blood: Let their last feeble and lingering glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign of the Republic, now known and honored throughout the earth, still full high ad vanced, its arms and trophies streaming in all their original lustre, not a stripe erased or pollu ted, not a single star obscured, bearing for its motto everywhere. spread all over in characters of - living light, blazing on all its ample folds as they float over the - sea and over the land, and in every wind under the whole heavens, that senti ment dear to every American heart—Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable. GOV. CURTIN AND TIM SOLDIERS. A very interesting ceremony tookplace at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg, on Saturday week, - on the occasion of the return of the battle-flags to Gov. Catlin, by the regiments about being mustered out. Col. A. B. McCalmont presented the flags in a neat and eloquent speech, to which Gov Cur- ' tin responded as-follows: I wish I had language to express to you, Col. 31cCalniont and the, brave man you represent, all I feel on this occasion; and I trust that every citizen of the United States enjoys the sentiment of gratitude to you all for your services, which I know tills my heart. It has often been my duty to be heard by the citizens of PennsylVania in this camp. On such occasions, in obedience to the law, I presented these and other standards to regiments as they were about to depart into the service Of the Government. Now I receive these tattered and war-worn flags, to be preserved as part tif your history, as ail-archive of the State ; and as I well know that thousands of Pennsylvanians are approaching the State, from the armies of the Republic. to go back again into the body of the people. 1 praise God that no tarnish rests upon you or them, and that your flags are returned without dishonor. (Cheers) How can I express to you the full measure of your services to your country, and your fellow citizens who have remained at home You do not bring back to us the spoils of desolated cities, nor captives to be made slaves; but higher and hillier, far, your mission and its results. You bring to us a Government restored and saved; the tree institutions we received from the apostles of liberty in the Revolution you give, with all their blesings, to our children. (Applause.) Heretofore the freest, you have made this the strongest Government in the world! And yea have demonstrated prtietically that a Republic can live- through domestic. treason and' insur rection. And more than all, you give the of American civilization to four millions of people. If we could this day dry the tears of the widows and orphans; if we could, restore the maimed and trail from their graves the heroic dead, our happiness would be complete. I cannot fail to congratulate you nosy, before you return to your homes, on the part our great Comdfonwealth has taken in this bloody drama. We have given the tall share of our blood and treasure, and that the field upon which we now stand will be known as classic ground, for here has been the great central point of the organiza tion of our military forces. When my adminis tration of public affairs- will have been forgotten, and the good and the evil will be only known to the investigation of the antiquarian. Camp Cur tin, with its memories and its associations will be , immortal. (Applause.) Imu not ashamed to say' to you, fellow.citi zens of Pennsylvania, that I have Iris d to do my duty to yen ; I wish I could have done more for (Voices—" Y - u have dune it; you're the 'Soldier's friend.") Ido not know who gave me that name of "soldier's friend," but God knows, if I deserve it lum proud of it. You do sot re alize the extent of your services to the country, and how muelfwe ail ewe you. Our Government has stood a desolating ,wit' of four years, the Sac rifice of half a million of lives, of three millions ,of treasure, and the ass*ination of our Presi dent ; and yet, over the-VAve of the martyred Lincoln the power of his great office passed to his constitutional successor so gracefully that we seareely4pel the transition. - And now the Government itzMiiiv r strong and grand in its majesty and power.
