SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL q, 1865
The Nations Sorrow.


Last Saturday, after the regular edition
ofour paper had been issued. was received
the awful intelligence which has caused
such q pail to fall over the Nation. Our
pure-minded, noble.hearted President is
no more. 1t is difficult to realize the ap-
palling fact. but too we'll we know it to be
true. He who but yesterday held in his
hand the scepter Of the most enlightened
and powerful Government on earth, now
lies low in death! In our amazement and
sorrow, we know not how to act, or what
to say. We think Of the man, what he
was; Of the eventfal history Of his public
career, what he did; Of the present cri.i-
cal crisis in that career, what he was about
to accomplish. We think of the country
as It was when he came into power. of the
march Of ideas, the achievements Of free
dom, and Of what the country promises to
be in it's final regeneration and adjustment,
and we ssk, Why has this dreadful TRACE
dy been permittedl
We'dare not doubt that the Advise Ru-
Ter of the universe, who numbers the hairs
Of our head aud permits not sparrow to
fall without his notice, who sees the end
from the beginning and will do all things
we'll. has some bene6ccnt design to fulfill
in this mysterious dispeusation Of His
providence. When He permitted the hyp.
ocritical aud bloodthirsty Ieraelites to pro.
coed in madness against our Savior, when
He permitted the treason that surrendered
Him to His enemies, and permitted those
enemies to cruelty Him, in the face Of the
confession Of His judge, II find no fault
in this man." He was then and there con.
summating the highest purposes Of His
love and mercy toward the children Of men.
Faith in the wisdom and goodness Of that
same Almighty Ruler Of nations aud Of
men, l. our only support and comfort in
this darkest hour Of our country's SORROW
and trial
Yet while God permitted It forgood and
we believe 10 able to bring good out Of the
greatest evil. they meant It for murder aud
revenge. We say they, for the name Of
Of bic murdsrers was legion. The respon.
sibility Of this cowardly assassination rests
on no one man's shoaldsn. Il was the
erowniss deed Of great party. which had
been stabbing 1t the Natios's heart for the
pest four yeass, and because ioilsd and de-

We predict, however, that there will

or that there will be an understanding
among both wings TO vote for Morgan
The Long ticket is scape-goat, got

The Morgan Democracy believe in the

speech ofnon. n. Q. SIOFariand.

Thespeech of Hon. N. G. Mcfarland,
Union candidate for Senator in tho I'd
District, whichrw publish on our first
page, is full Of points, and will repay
a careful reading. On the negro
question, he says if the negro is only
prevented from being the equal of the
Copperheads by legal disabilities, such
disabilities should be removed at once.
He is not in favor Of granting the
blacks in the South the elective fran
chise, because he thinks they have not
sufficient capacity and intelligence to
exercise it. He prefers however, that
they should be intrusted with it in
preference to the rebels whose hands
are yet "wet with the blood of our
brothers" His opinion as to the
treatment of the blacks is expressed
in an editorial which appeared in the
Cincinnati Enquirer on the 18th Of
July last, in which the following oc,
ours:
Nothing that God has made should
be contemned. The man who despi.
ses negro because he is a negro, il
almost as bad as he, who for the same
cause, worships him. He may, or be
may not, be an "image of God cut in
ebony, but whatever he is, be is en-.
titled to his place on the earth, and tc
treatment according to his character
aud degree"
And yet ninc-tenths of tho party ol
which the Enquirer is tho principa
State organ, despiso the negro simply
because he isa negro, and deny him
not only tho rights but the soul of 0
man. The principal planks of thi
democratic platform are devoted tc
keeping up the ignorant prejudice
which exists against this unfortunate
race, and the press and speakers O.
the democratic party expect to carry
it into power by playing upon thil
prejudice. Such mch and such q par
ty deserve only contempt from honcs
and liberal minded persons.
