of the United States, and William H. Seward Secre-
ary of State, at the cepital city of Washington by.
he hands of rebel assassins under circumstances off
the most fiendsh atrocity, has shocked ths moral
3sense and patriotism of the loyal people of our
sacountry, and enshrouded the Nation in gloom and,
@thc mortal blow aimed at the head of the Ma
dtitn for the overthrow of Government and thef
t3dcstrueton of our liberties at the very point off
time when the crisis of the rebellion had arrived
5and the dawn of glorious peace had appeared ins
the defeat of the consprators and traitors in arms

9death of Abraham Lincoln, and especially that thea
5great patriot and statesman has suddenly beens
iistricken down in the prime of his usefulness and
elory in this crisis of the Shareholders rebellion
Awe need not despair of the triumph of our country
dcause; for God rules, and He gave him to thes
country and He has suffered him to be taken away;
land we believe that the Almighty raised up Abra-
s3ham Lincoln for the purpose of vindicating Hiss
sapeople as He did Moses of old, and that in duel
rme He will bring forth from the hosts of the free
jmen of our country another Chief, who like Josh
Qua of the Sacred Records, shall establish the Lord j
chosen people in righteousness and greatness in ALI
lthe continent of North America.

sspartook of their tolls and hardshps; they had ins
1aim natural sympathizer, while they felt the be-
tinicnitv of his official administration He was
then. more than our Chief Magistrate, for he WAS
Talso our brother and friend of the people, and ass
a,uch we mourn him in and sadness of
2heart.
q Resolved That the assassination of William II l
7Seward Secretary Of State, the blow of con j
3sniracy who aimed at the life and freedom of thes
sNation in gated by the foied pride of the slave
boldng aristocracy and the fell spirit of slayery
aThs consprator attempted to strike down this EN-
inent patriot and statesman. the coadutor of Abra

&at large in his and our misfortune.
4 Resolved, That TOR the atrocities committed in!
the assassination of President and Secretary of
Estate, we hold the rebels and conspirators respon-
ble, as we do for their rebellion and all its horrd
Strain of evils, and while believe the sentiments
$of humanity and the laws of civilization should be
Sinvoked in the est,bishment of the Union and the
restoration OF peace among free people, it is alike
due to justice and government that the arch-con-
spirators and traitors in this rebellion should be
to suffer the pains and penalties which their
thigh crimes SO richly merit
we venture to say no week ever passed,
over Shasta wherin its inh abitasts have
thought as little of :" SELF" and SO much of,
the greatness Of God and this Government.
