ADDRESS OF THE LIBERAL FRENCH
PRESS TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES. _

The following is a translation of the address of
the Preis of Pali& to Preeideot Johnson on the death of
Mr. Lincoln :

" 2S. le Plisident,—The constitution of your country
has for ever placed the American democracy beyesd
attempts directed against persons • where liberty nitro,
where the law alone governs, the heads of the stet* may
fell without in the least disturbing or even threatening
institatioos. Borrow and indignation may seize the people
bat fear cannot approach them. We know that such is
the happy position created for the people of the United
States by their institutions. Permit us, however, to express
the pain which we feel at the death of the citizen who ha.
just been struck down. Abraham Lincoln will be regretted,
es he was admired, by the democracy of France. What
nobler model, in truth, than this great man of the people—
this labourer raised from the humblest rank to the highest
office in his country, and continuing the faithful guardian
of its laws ! Inform the people of the Union, N. le Presi-
dent, that we join with them in their mourning as we share
with them in their hopes. Slavery is dead, liberty will
never perish ; the triumph of the great republic is
assured." . .
