Assassination OF Lincoln ana seward
Reports reach us, FIRST from Johnston's army,
then from Chattanooga, then from Nashville, that
President Lincoln and his Prime Minister, Sow
ard, have been assas<innted in Washington by a
Marylander named Slnith. As set, although it
come, in most plausible rarb, we do no. give full
credence to this tnle of wholesale murder, rctri-
button and revenge. In some respects, it seems
Well nigh incredible; in other respects nothing
seems more probable. IF it be true, then these
two old men have been cut off in the blossom of
their sins. and sent to their last account with all
their imperect:Uns on their heads If this be true,
they are now but dust; and although they war
red against us long and bitterly, let US not war
against their miserable dust God will judge
their souls.
We cannot see how good is to esmeto us out
of their death. Andy Johnson, who will now DC
President, is more fanatcsl 5boli,onist, if pos
s;blc, than Lincoln, and worse mantthan the
latter, inasmuch as he is druakard and a traitor
to his section. q
