When the Illehtnond papers annonne

that an event was :about to transpire
which would send a thrill of joy through
out the South; and-startle the world, it
probably'had refferenee to the traced)
which has since startled the whole coun
try bY, its enormity. It is known that
Booth intended to assassinate the'Prest
dent on that day. t but the want of co op
crdtion in those who were to assist him
de f teated the plan. ..-The world has been
startled, but. the thrill of joy which wa
to be felt throughout ilia South, is now a
feeling of fear for t4e emequencei of

GENTLEMEN UT THE GIIAND!
, .
Our country it the present period is
marked by an almost total disregard fur
law. A rebetlien, the most stupendous
of any known . in -tuodero.history, has*
shaken ourGOrerninetit to:ii .l i,reril fotin.
dation, and has only been partially sup
pressed afterlAututense wilitary efforts .
The war has letb to great sacrifice , ,ef ha...
Man life, and vast losi.of national treas.
ore. It has been marked, on the-part of
our enemies, by a. bloodthirsty *thy
and disregard for the usagJe Cf warfare
scarcely heard of in the Most . barbarous
ages. Soldiers iu (great numbers" have
been butelimed in coldbleod, after they
had surrendered, or been icruelly, starved
'to death, or, Oftefteing robbed - of; tlitr
clothing, left to perish froni*cold and ex-
posure in rebel pens and prisons. The
whole has culminated in the cowardly
and fiendish' assassination of the head of
Government, the President of the United
Stereo, to gratify the evil spirit of pub)ic.
and private :revenge. Thus! has been
stricken down, iu the pride of his strength
and in the hour of his greatest Useful-
OM, one of the bj.st men of the age and
Icountry, a man oflthe most kindly heart
and feelings, whose greatest efforts Were
'directed to the amelioration of the eon
ditiorrsof the whole human family) ant to
securing liberty and. equal rights! under
l 1
Idle law to all men ;—a man whose only
! ,
!failings arose from his unwillingness to
i n take proper and necessary punishment
'on crime—one of whom it may be truly ,
said that "even his fliilings leaned toi
virtue's side." The whole nation, and,
we believe, even a large portion of our'
renenties, mourn his untimely end: But,
l ate cruel hand of the assassin did not
only shed the blood of a !good :man, it
struck at the life of the nation;through
its executive bead. The evidence take?
shows pretty , clearly that there was a
conspiracy of no inconsiderable magni
tude, aiming to destroy not only this
President of the United States, but nearly
ail of his principal SecretaiJies and con
stitutional advisers. TH life of the,
ISceretry of State was attemptedl, and
l the attempt was only' !evidentially
frustrated. That of the Secretary f.
o
i
i War was sought ; add
d it "is more than
probable that ourl chief ttilitary-Yeout.
I wander waia only savd by 'his acciddntal

we would preserre the ii i urity:of our own

We wisb all such to uudetAand that by

It has been but' tool common within
the last few Weeks, and( especiallyince
the assassination of the President, fir the
loyal citizens to rcisort to violence against
those who use 1 Itin,gu'age . inimical to the
Government or ati.probatoryi of this ;cruel
murder. Such persona shoujd remem
ber. that they are tbeniselves l setting an
example of lawless violence. The land
is strongenoagh.to vilidicate itself,•and '
therefore their interference is wWiotit
justifization or excuse) Whilst we dep.
recale any intermeddling by l i tho military
authorities with thei Citizens for offences
of a merely civil character, we are. by no
means surprised that i their indig'nation 1
s'tould occasionally be aroused lay .the 1
use o f l aoc uage wiliCti they considered
a.ould only be punished through: means
of the guard house ; and therefore it wasl
rt-sorted to. and the ribald toeguet hereby
.1
silenced.`` Such a boiirse on the' part of,
tie military is both I,inlawful and nonee
esary. lit may be thought by ,Oule that
in this erobotrv, wbei.e freedom of speech
is secured' by the Constltution, that were
words cannot be Wished. Such is a
great wisialte. Advice orlencourogement
to crime can never be !tolerated: in any
land of peace. and 'lrv:. dik pprobation o f
crime is enecniragem i
ent, whether it be
of treason, - murder for any less; offence.
Therefore persons during a time of civil
war, may; be held tci.tbeir( good ,behavior
who utter words of hostility to the Gov
ernin4t, or approve "of the course of its
enemip. ,
• The spirit of lawlessness which Iwe
said is abroad seems to permeate almost
the;whole of society, commencing 1M the
domestic circle, and extending itself to
the .highest positions. Children. defy
pareOal authority.; the youths that of
their echool teachers; the citizen sets at
`naught the laws of the State, and the
States repudiate and attempt to overthrow
the owers of the Federal Government. I
IVithout law and order no community
can exist, andlsociety will dissolve iitself
into its original elements;
Iqtlierefore beboovs all who are en
trus red with the execution of the laws u,
enfo cc them with' energy and vigor.'
HAll, from the children at the fireside to
I those who undertake to rule States and
oatt&asounst be taught and compelled to
obey those who the law has placed over
IthetU,, and bring themselves within the
Imanclat:es of the highest law of the land
--tile Constitution of the United States
anal ofi the several States. Good order
and the safety of society I make this de
ast.nd, t'and without l it uo one is safe in
