There is no question Of the Pubfcation
nj such sentiments as those contained In
the above lines had an important inhu-
moe In producing the assassination Of the
man against whom they we're directed. By
such publicstions q false impression was
msde upon the minds of many, viz: that
Mr.. Lincoln was 8 tyrsnt of whomit would
be a blessing to rid the world. Such .
Aend IS Booth might come, not illogicallyr
70 the conclusion thst to kill such s man
would be an act that would receive the aP-
proyal of the suthor Of such sentiments
After the murder, persons who had been
accustomed to utter such words, jotned in
the general mourning seemingly insensible
10 their " guilt think 1 am correct
In saving thst the Daily Eews was clsdin
mourning after the assassination. 1t is to
be hoped that with its sorrow for the death
of the President mingled tome repentenee
for Its own misdseds. -esi
This late has its parallel in the last
iew wears. Reference is made to the ayow.
,ls made in certain quarters to the effect
that the South should not be opposed in
their secession. When leading men ssid
thsv would f~ghtsoones! on the side OF the
e,D,b when they affirmed that troops
marching South to punish traitors must
march over their dead'before they reached
tbe scene Of the rebellion, they created a
false impression on the Southern mind
that hsd no small influence in encouraging
the rebels to. psrsevere. o Many Of these
men afterwards falsi6ed their oyn words
bv standing by the national army, but I
was too late to mend the mischief. OF 81
man in the world the lsadersof the peopl
should speak csrefully guarded truthful
words. 8-us-
Il Is nice question in cssuistry to de
