In the midst of this sadness, ,through the oppressive gloom "that surrounds us, we look to you find to tt . bright: future ' for our country; The isiassinatiOn Of the President of the United States deeply impresses and seri, dusly aggravates the entire nation ; but; ander our, bleqsed Constitution, it does not delay, nor for any great : length of time retard its progress, does t not for ad instant disorgapiza or threatdn its des! traction. The 'record of your:whole past life, familiar torall, the splendor of . your recent gigantic efforts to stay the hand of treason and assassination and restore the flag to the uttermost bouods of the Re public, asiure the noble State which we represeot, tend, ewe, believe, the people of the United. States, that we may safely trust:our destinies in your hand's; and to this end we come in the name of the State of Illibois, arid, we confidently be lieve,; fully and fsitlifully expising the wishes of our 'people, 'to present and pled to you the cordial; .earnest and unremitting purpose of our State'to give your administration the strong support we have'heretofore given to thel adminis tratiOn ,of our lamented late President, the Policy of whom we haVe heretofore, do now, and shall continue to indorse. I '1 HIS REPLY : i GENTLEMEN :" I have listened With .1 profo'und emotion to the kind Words you have laadressed to me. The viAit of this large, delegation 'to speak to m 9 through you, sir, these 'words of encouragement, I had not anticipated, in the midst of the saddening Circumstances which SlT round us, and the immense re.spansibility thrown upon me, an expressi4a of the confidence of individuals, and Mill more of an influential body like that before me, representing -a great commonwealth, 'sheets and strengthens my hcdjvily bur dened mind. lamat a loss for words to respond. In an hbur like this, of deep est sorrow, were it possible to e body in words theleelings of my bosom ) I could not command my lips to utter them.-- Perhaps the best reply I could ake; and 'the one most readily appropriat to your kind assurances of confidence, would be to receive Chem iu silence. [Sensation.] The throbhings of my heart since the sad catastrophe whieh has appalled us cannot be reduced to Words; and, oppressed as I am with the new and great responsi bility which has devolved upon me7and saddened , with grief, I can with difficulty respond to you at all. But I cannot per mit such expression of the confidence reposed in we by the . people to pass with out acknosiledginent. To an indivilnal like myself, who has never claimed much, bit who has,-it is true, received fret' a generous people. many marks of trustbud honor for a long time, au occasion like this and a manifestation of public feeling so well timed are peculiarly acceptable. Sprung from the people myself, every pulsation of the popular ! heart finds an itutoediate answer in my own. By mlanv men in public life such occasions 'are oftanconsidered merely formal. To we they are real. Your words of counten ance and encouragement sank deep in my` ; heart, and were I even a coward 1, could but gather from them strength to carry out my convictions of right. Thus fed i ling, I shall enter upon the discharge 1 of my great duty firmly, steadfastly, [Ap plause] if not with the signal ability ex hibited by my ; redecessor, which is: still fresh in our sorrowing minds. - Need I repeat that no hear: feels more senaibiy than mine this great affliction. In what I say on this occasion I•stiall indulge in no petty spirit of anger, no feeling of re venge. But we have beheld a notable event in the history of mankind. In the midst of the American people, where every citizen is taught to obey law and observe the rules of Christian eonquet, 1 our Chief Magistrate, the beloved of all 1 hearts, has been assassinated , and ' When we trace this crime to its cause, when we rewewber the source whence the assassin drew' his inspiration, and then look- at the result, we stand yet more astounded at this' most barbarous, most dialidlical assassination.' Such .a orimins the Mur der oF,tt great and good man, honbred and revered, the beloved and the hope of the people, springs not alone front a solitary individual of ever so desperate wickedness: We can trace its cause thro' successive steps, without my enumerating them here, back to source which is the spring of all our woes. No one can say that if the perpetrator of this fiend -1 ish deed be arrested he should 'not un• dMga , the -extremest- penalty the law knows for oriole none will say that tam i . 1 should interpose: But is he alone guilty ?, Here, gentlemen, you perhaps.expeet me ' , to present: some iodication of:my future' policy , One thing I i will .say. •,-Ftiery era teaches its lesson. The times we live in, are not without • iestruction. The American people must be taught•s—if they I do not already feel- T rthat, treason is . ti crimeland must be punished [applause]; that the. Government will , not always bear with its enemies`; ; that it is strong, not only to protect but to pynish.,[Applaute] Whell we turn to the . Criminal code and, exam me the .catalogue of - orl*Cit . tve there 'find Arno laid down as u. crime ; with its appropriate penalty ; we there find theft and robbery and murder given as crimes ; and, there, too, we find . the last and highest of crimes—treasoo. [Appleuse.] With o l ther and; inferior of fences our people are familiar. But in our peaceful history treason has been al most unknown. The people blast under stand that it is the blackest of crimes, and; will be surely pueished., [Applause-] I make this allusion not to excite the already, exasperated feelings of the public but to point out, the.'principles of public justice, which shoeld guide our action at . this particularjunctitre,and which accord 1 with sound pehlie _Endres. Let it be en .ravenl on every heart that. treason is a crime, and crime, and traitors.shall suffer its penalty [Applause.] While we are, appalled, overwhelmed at,the fell of one wan, io our midst by,the hand of a traitor, shall we allow men—l care not by what weep. ons--to.attempt, the life Of the State:with impunity , ? While we strain our minds to comprehend the enormity of tins as assassination, shall we eilow the nation to be assassinated. [Applause.] I speak in no spirit of unkindness!. I leave the events of the future to be disposed of as they arise, regarding myself as the hum bie.instrunient of the American people. In this, as in all things, justice and judg ment shall! be determined by them. I do not harbor bitter 'or reventreful feel ings towards any. In general terms I would say that public "morals and, public opinion sheuld be established ,upon the sure and ieflexible principles of justice [Applausel] When the question of exer cising me t comes before rue it will be considered' calmly, judiciallr—rememb.o - - hiethat I am the Executive of the no _ tion. I know men love to have thetr names spoken of in connection with acts of mercy—, and how easy it is to , yield to this impulse But . we t must not forget that what may bc mercy to the individ-I nal is cruel ty to the State. i [Applause.l In the ex ercise of mere l y there should be no doubt l eft that the high prerogative is not use to relieve, e 'fru , at the expense Of the man' . I3e assured that I shall never 'forget the I ant not to consult my own feeling's al lie, but am,ito give an account 1 to the whole people.' : _Applause ] In re• card to ; .v y future ' course, I will now make nd professions, do pledges. I have been connected somewhat actively with, public affairs, and to 'the history of my past public acts, which is familiar to you. 1 I refer to those ptinCiples which have' . governed me heretofore, and will guide me hereafter. In Opera!, I will ,say I have long labored for the amelioration , and elevation of the great 'mass of man-1 kind. My opinions as to the nature of popular goverment have been long cher ished. , ; and, 'constituted as I am, it is now too late in life for me to' t change them.-- I believe that Goyernment was made for wan, not man . for titrerninent. [Ap plause.] plaue;e.] The strum le of the .people ! against the Most gig antic Rebellion the world ever 'saw dm demonstrated that the attachment of the i people to their Government is the 1 strongest national 1 defense-wisdom can devise. [Applause.] So long as that each man feels that the interests of the Government are his hi : [crests; sp long!as the public heart turns„ in the right direction; add the people and derstand and appreciate the theory, of our I Government and love, liberty, Our Con stitution will be trans' unimpaired. If the time ever c onies when the people shall fail the Government it will fall, and we Shall cease to p e one of the natious of the eerth. After Inting preserved our form of free Government, an d shown its c , its existence ; , , power to maintain ts existence t h roug h the . vicissitudes of nearly a century, it. i may be that it was necessary for us to pass through this last ordeal of in esiine strife to, prove that this Governme i t will not peri l h' from internal weakness, but will sta n d to defend .i tself againstll foes and pudish treason. [Applause.], - ,n .the dealing of on Inscrutable Providence and by the operation Of the Constitution, I have been thrownunexpectedly into this position .'' My p ast life,' especially toy course . during he present nuholy Rebellion is before you; I have no prin. ciples.tO r tract. I slofy any one to point to any of ty public hots at variance with , the fixed Principles which have guided tne.throngh life. , 1 I have no professions to offer.;..
