Of all t e tributes paid to the charac ter, . , • : of Abraham Lincoln, that contained in the address of Dr. Holland to' the chi -1 zeDs of sifingfield, Mass. is the most 1 beautiful and tonching. We extract` a paragraphl on the Chri stian nc? • , the late Psesident : i , 1 "We loved and honored Mr. Lincoln' because b 6 was a Christian. I can never think of that toil worn man, rising long before his household,and spen kng an , hour with his 'Maker and his Bible, without tears. I' that silent hour of communion he has d awn from the fountain which has fed a I these qualities which have so won upon our faith and love. Ah what tears, what prayers, what aspirationf,what lamentations, what struggles , have been witnessed by the four walls of that room ! Aye, what food have the angels brought him thore ! There day after day, while we have,been sleeping, has he knelt and prayed f r us—pray ed for the country, prayed f r victofy,prayed for wisdom and i p guidance prayed for strength for his'great mission, rayed for the accomplishment of his great purposes. There has he found consolation in trial, comfort in de feat and I disaster, patience in reverses, courage for labor, wisdom in perplexity, and peace in the conciousness of God's' approviilJ, The man who:wasse humble and so brotherly among men, who bowed with filial-humility before God. ~ It was while standinglamong those who bad laid down their lives for us, that he gave his heart to One who bad laid down his life for him. A praying President? A praying states man ? A. praying politician? A pray. ing commander in chief of our armies and navies? I Our foremost man our highest man, ourll august ruler our noblest digni tary, kneeling a simple hearted child be fore his'Heavenly Father.? Oh, when • shall welsee the like of this again?

I Ile c'ras:4 consecrated ' man-- Consecrafcd to his ,conntry and his . God.. Lopking over the field of Mr. Lincoln's labors for the country, the speaker said : 1 i "The destruction of the rebellion and the destruction of slavery are the two great achievements on which the fame of Mr. LinColn will rest in history; but no mall will write the history of these achiev meats justly, who' shall not reveal the ' , Etture Orthe power l by which they were 1 , troug Th out. The history which shall ail to sh ow e superiority of the wisdom f an honest,humble, Christian heart over n ommadding and cultured intelleet, will b e a graceless libel on Mr. Lincoln's fame. .

I 1 On 'hardly 'praY for justice; fully measur ed out to the mad murderer of his truest friend, for,i somehow, I feel the presence of that:kindly spirit, the magnetism of those kindly eyes, appealing to me to'for bear. I have come into such communion with his personality that I cannot escape the power Of his chario and his Christian forbearance; rod the, curse, rising like a bubble froin the turbid waters within me, breaks:into nothingness in the rarer! at mosphere which he throws' around me.—, If he ceuid speak to 'me from that other shore he would say, what all his actions' and all his words said of others net less guilty than his. assassin "My murderer was mad and mistaken as well as Malig nant.

Ah ! that other shore.— The commander iq chief is t with his army now. • More are they that are with him in victory and peace than 'they who• still tread the earth. - The largest. body of the soldiers of the republic pitch their white tents and unfold their golden ban ners and sing their songs .of triumph around him.

Trate to Its InStinctS. ; I The New York World is now engaged in the work of -destroying conficlence in the credit of the Governinent.l !In - this it will feel at home, for it has bad four long years of experience in the business, and has !devoted itself to the labor with great diligence. It days : , , • Secretary .11'Culloch, then, is at the end of his. tether. He , cannot come into the market to borrow,another, dollar, un til after; Congress meets and authorizes another ,loan ; and it is Currently estimated that, by the middle of December, there will be three, hundred millions.of unpaid requisitions; or, in other of that the excess of the liabilities of the Treasury over its resources will reach this amount. Atten giving utterance to this alarming statement it adds : This 'rendition of things prove such a want of ,foresight, prudence and capacity on the Part !of the Republican rulers, as demonstrates the necessity of putting the Governinent in Democratic hands at the earliest !period the election will permit. Insteadlof congratulating the country on the saceess of the late loans-, we are filled with indignation at the disgraceful man agement by which, the Treasury is bro't to the verge of bankruptcy, notwithatand ing the !war ended the next month after Congress. adjourned. ! To which the Buffalo Express replies that in Such stuff it finds the milk, of the' cocoa nut. The government must be put in DOmocratic hands. There is one dif ficulty the World will find in the way of its remedy, and that, we apprehend, will prove a very serious one. The people are to 'decide, the question of , handing this ;Government over into Democratic hands, and they, will have to forget the history* the past four years, before they again entrust power with 'a party which gavel aid and comfort to the enemy, by iissailtina the Administration—berating its mismanagement - damaging its creait, and, ellar ng openly that- ho war was a failare,l when ' falsehood is indelibly stamped by the record upon its every position. < The'so-called Democratic party can never attain to Power in this Govern ment until traitors,- rebels and the tour , derers Of our fathers brothers and ions, are perpuitted a voice once more in the ballot-box. When such are restored to the rights of, citizenship, there may be kindred power enough, - North and South, to take! the Government from those who have !laved it but we do not believe it. The loyal - heart of the Nation will pre perve it from such a calamity
