perceive that, TO speak of J. Wilkes
Booth as the slayer of Abraham Lincoln
is a gross and sensual d1lluess, as Of one
who should protest that Pontius Plate
procured the crueifxion of the Saviour
ofmankind. It was in April last that
Abraham Lincoln fell. Golden October
now shines about US; and surely they
5whO@in April Iast,could read the most
intimate counsels Of the Most High God,
must long ere this have been justified Of
the thins which have come to pass in ae-

Let US consider and see. then, whether
this be 50, that happily our hearts may
burn with US, and we, lifting up with our
hearts, our voices also, mag glorify the
elect.

Nothing in all Abraham Lincoln's
life, they assured US, SO well became him
as the leaving it. Had he not led the
nation up, like another Moses, to the
heights Of the Promised Land and was
it not time that he should make way for
a man more given to the sword, fer the
Joshua by whom Philistia should surely
be snitten hip and tbigh-Yea, and Agag
