:The Assassination of President Lincoln•

-..---

MANCHESTER.

One of the most enthusiastic and crowded citi-
zens' meetings held in Manchester for some years
was held yesterday, in compliance with a requisition
presented to the Mayor, " to consider the most ap-
propriate mode of conveying to the authorities of the
United States our deep sympathies with them on
the occasion of the diabolical assassination of their
late President, Mr. Lincoln, and also to express our
respectful condolence with Mrs. Lincoln." The
chair was taken by the Mayor (Mr. J. M. Bennett),
and upon the platform and in the body of the room
were members of all political parties and various re-
ligious denominations.
The MAYOR said he could not hesitate, in com-
pliance with a requisition so numerously and respect-
ably signed, to call the meeting. Whatever might
have been their feelings and sympathies with respect
to the American struggle, he was sure they would
be unanimous in passing resolutions of sympathy
with the United States on the great loss they had
sustained during the past few weeks. He hoped
that gentlemen speaking to the resolutions to be
brought for Ward would not enter into those debatable
subjects which agitated the community at the pre-
sent time. This was a meeting of the citizens of
Manchester, not of any particular party ; not of
these who sympathised with the South, or held strong
opinions of the conduct of the North. (Applause.)
Mr. W. R. WOOD said they had assembled to ex-
press their grief and indignation at the crime recently
perpetrated on the other side of the Atlantic—the
greatest crime which had been committed since the
assassination of Julius Ccesar. They wished to ex-
press their sympathy with the Americans, between
whom and ourselves, notwithstanding occasional dif-
ficulties, there existed a great bond of a common ori-
gin and common language. We might draw from the
scene which had just taken place the moral lesson of
the great value, in all disputes between nations,
parts of nations, or individuals, of moderation, con-
ciliation, and courtesy. This great crime was a strik-
ing instance of the evils of civil war. It was a rebound
of the violent passions which that war in some
small sections of the communityhad most unhappily
excited which had led to this dreadful crime. No-
body would be prepared to think that if there had not
been civil war the President would have been assas-
sinated. Let us hope, then, that the lesson to be de-
rived from this event might

whose side it might in some degree be said to have
been committed. (Applause.) He did not, of course,
mean to say that the leaders of the Southern party
had any hand in the crime. But it was much to be
feared that the Southern party in general
er.
might
suffer from the exasperated feelings of the North.
it would be most creditable to the 44...i_can people

" That the citizens of Manchester now assembled
desire to express their horror and detestation of the
deplorable crime which has resulted in the violent
death of the chief magistrate of the American Re-
public, Abraham Lincoln, and of the attempt to mur-
der Mr. Seward and some members of his family ;
and they desire most earnestly and respectfully to
convey to the authorities of the United States their
deep sympathies with them on the sad loss they have
sustained."

Mr. Alderman CURTIS seconded the resolution,
which, he said, required no eloquence to commend
it. If there was one crime more than another
which was alien and detestable to. English feeling
it was that of assassination. He was glad to see
that the Confederateprisoners and others repudiated
and abhorred the act that had taken place. Men
like those who had engaged in the great struggle
could not for a moment be suspected of sanctioning
such a horrible crime. (Hear, hear.)
The Rey. D. E. FORD said there could hardly be
more than one shade of opinion upon the general
question—all hated the detestable act.
The resolution was unanimously carried.

Mr. OLIVER HEYW oownoved
• -
" That this meeting desires most respectfully to
present to Mrs. Lincoln its sincere sympathy and
condolence on the melancholy loss she has sustained
in the death' of her husband."

Tim last time the Mayor called a similar meeting
was to enable the citizens of Manchester to express
their deep sorrow and regret at the loss of a great
and distinguished citizen of their own (Mr. Cobden)
a distinguished man, who had peacefully and
quietly passed to his rest, after a life spent in pro-
moting the blessings of peace. Our American
neighbours were beginning to sympathise with us in
our great sorrow when the occasion arose demand-
ing our sympathy in theirs ; and it seemed that the
coincidence of the two events would draw us more
closely to one another. (Applause.) Almost precisely
at the period when our own distinguished man of
peace had passed away, another had been removed
by a cowardly and cruel crime from a scene in which
during the midst of warfare, struggle, difficulty, and
contest, he had performed his life's duty and work.
(Applause.) A man of peace in many respects not
less was he than the man who had been taken from
our midst--(applause)—taken as Mr. Lincoln was
in the critical, if not crowniug, moment of his life.
In some lines written several years ago respecting
the battle of the Alma the words occurred, " What
will they say in England ?" and then after describ-
ing the struggle which took place, the gallantry dis-
played, and the lives lost, the lines concluded thus—
" They will say in Christian England
God's holy will be done.' "
(Applause.) This terrible calamity had fallen so
suddenly upon the Americans that they had no time
to ask what would be said in England, and all the
more beautiful would it be that before the question
was asked there camb back to them what England
had to say. (Applause.) And what we had to say
in a few words was this :—To express our sincere
sympathy with the great loss of the American
people ; to say how tenderly and affectionately—
for, as Mr. Disraeli said, the event appealed to our
domestic feelings—we sympathised with Mrs. Lin-
coln ; and we had also to say that we hoped it would
be God's will that out of this great calamity should
come forth universal good, and speedy peace
throughout the great empire of America ; that out
of it might come a united people—(applause)—that
out of it might come freedom to those who had
hitherto been kept in bondage—(applause)—that
out of it might *come-Wh-at we all so much desired—
a cessation of bickerings and unkindliness between
them and us, and a mutual understanding that our
interests, hopes, and purposes were, and should be,
the same. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. W. M'CLuitE seconded the motion, which
was unanimously carried.

The Mayor of SALFORD (Mr. Wright Turner)
moved that the Mayor of Manchester should be re-
quested to transmit the above resolutions to Mr.
Adams, the American Minister. (Applause.)

Mr. M. Ross, President of the Chamber of Com-
merce, seconded the resolution. He said he had
never in the Manchester Town-hall heard the ex-
pression of stronger or more unanimous feeling,
nor witnessed a greater demonstration of respectful
sympathy than the present, when they were met to
testify their real regret at the loss of an amiable
man in the very fulness of his career. For a man,
resting for an hour from the fatigues and anxieties
of the day, to be thus stabbed and struck down from
behind by a cowardly assassin in cold blood was ono
of the most detestable of crimes. (Applause.)
The resolution was carried unanimously.
Mr. Alderman HEYWOOD moved a vote of thanks
to the Mayor for presiding. lie said that great ho-
nour was due to the Mayor for calling the meeting,
so that the people of Manchester might thoroughly
express their indignation at the dastardly act, their
sympathy with the American nation, and their hopes
that what had taken place would be the means of
uniting more strongly than ever the peoples of Eng-
land and America.

[Mr. J. BANNERIAN seconded the resolution.
Mr. W. PICKSTONE said he happened to be present
in the United States when the assassination of the
President took place, having been on a six months'
visit to the United States to study the people and
the country, and he could not allow this, the first
meeting he had attended since his arrival, to pass
by without expressing his concurrence in the pro-
ceedings. America would be as deeply moved by
this expression of opinion, so general throughout
the country, as it had been moved by the death of
the President itself. America wished to be friendly
with England, and he (Mr. Pickstone) had said that
if the two countries went to war he would turn Turk
and deny his race. (Laughter.) But two days be-
fore his death Mr. Lincoln said to one of his Mi-
nisters, " Of all things I desire that Mr. Davis may
escape the boundary of the United States of Ame-
rica. Ido not desire that my hands may be imbrued
with blood." (Cheers. He wished to tell the meet-
ing that Mr. Johnson was not a drunkard. (Cheers
and cry of " Question ! " at the back of the hall,
speedily drowned in renewed applause.) All he wished
to say was that England needed only to have the
same confidence in Mr. Johnson now that it took
the Americans four years to have in. Mr. Lincoln,
and then England would be just to the United
States, which 24 hours after the assassination of
Mr. Lincoln believed in Mr. Johnson. (Applause.)
The resolution was enthusiastically carried, the
Mayor acknowledged the compliment, and the
meeting closed. _ _ _

Meetings of the Manchester City Council, the
Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and the Sal-
ford Town Council have passed resolutions to a
similar purport to the above.

THE LIVERPOOL CHAMBER OF

At a special meeting of the members of the Liver-
pool Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday, it was
resolved :

BLACKBURN.

At the quarterly meeting of the Town Council of
Blackburn, held on Thursday afternoon, his wor-
ship the Mayor, Alderman Stones, stated that, not-
