We shall certainly hang nobody nor incite
others to hang political opponents, no matter
what they may do, two months hence. We
believe in freedom of opinion and within
limits prescribed by law faction as well. We
were too many years under the ban f mob
sentiment, and have recorded too many acts
of wicked violence to which men-and wo-
men too-were subjected because they were
alleged to be 'abolitionists" they had q
legal and moral right to be. Our country has
nobly passed through the initial ordeal i'm
posed ON her by abhorreds assassins-let us
all do our utmost to keep her calm and law
| abiding to the end. Every act of mob VIC.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS AND THE
LATE PRESIDENT.
Generous Acknowledgment by Re-
publican Paper.

From the Cincinnati Commercial, Republican, }
April 18th.
We see great number of the papers that
were of the opposition to the administration
of President Lincoln, and not one of them, that
we have seen, has failed to indicate profound
regret at the untimely and awful ending OF
his life and labors. Not one of them has
disgraced itself by using terms of disrespect
for the murdered chief magistrate. There is
no reason to believe that their words of sor-
row are hypooritIcal; that their grief is the
mask of malice.
We might fill our columns with extracts
from democratic newspapers, speaking OF
Abraham Lincoln with an earnestness of re
greet for his loss apparent in every word, that
is really touching. And what higher testimo.
ny could his political friends require of his
worth than is freely given by his opponents
Sursly while the nation mounrs around the
coffin of Abraham Lincoln, the lessons of the
solemn hour should not be those of black ven .
geance. but of charity. Let us, if possible,
think more highly, more kindly of each other
than heretofore, and endeavor to appreciate
the good we have before it is gone from us.
The temper of the American people has
been rudely tested and it is proven excellent.
The assassin took the life of the president, but
the nation is erect; and never since the days
Vi tuc great upIioiuS VI bhc pcopic, WHICH,
Sumter fell, has been so compact and power
| full public sentiment favoring the defence
of our nationality against all enemies, secret
and open, at home and abroad.
Instead of the anarchy that the assassins
hoped for, they see union-the union OF
hearts and of hands, spirit that is born OF
victory fairly won and sorrow keenly felt,
and that is admirable and invincible.
We do not forget that there are those whose
hands are red with murder, and others who
are sympathizers with assassins Let them
be punished under the law of the land by its
magistrates-not according to mob law and
by Its instruments. In extinguishing slavery
and rebellion, we have no need OF Judge
Lynch, one of the creatures of that society in
which slavery was nourlshed and where re
bellion grew. Let US not belittle our cause
or lose the dignity that becomes national be
| reavement, or disparage the memory of the
ilustrious dead we mourn, by going to either
| extreme of the popular passion of last weei
or of this. Let us take care neither to gust
| with forgiveness to rebels before. they hav,
repcnted and done works meet for repent
| ance, nor to involve the innocent with tn,
| guilty in the punishment of crimes.

[For the wstchmsn and Reflector. ]

| Dies FREE-An old, dilapidated farm
house IN q little town In Georgia. long since
deserted by the owners, stood desolately by
the roadside Weeds grew rankly in the
once cultivated garden. through which here
and there bright flower looked out as some
times a star shines through the thick inter-
lacing of forest trees. The fields had been
trampled by thousands Of horses hoofs, the
fences were destroyed, the rooms Of the house
hold defaced. the sacred affairs Of home we're
forever broken up.
The night had fallen, and it came down
like pail upon blight and death. There
were no cheerful sounds along that deserted
road. The voice of laughter had vanished
the sound OF a child's merry song was
thing Of the past.
Suddenly. IN the midst of the thick gloom
that covered the forsakcn house. a hight was
seen 10 glimmtr, and presently dark form
passed before the uncurtained window. over
the hall. They were not all gone, then, the
inmates Of that lonely hou,e.
In one corner of the room, which wac
very large. and nearly bare Of furniture.
lay withered old negress, who seemed to
have Just escaped the jaws Of death, for she
fea-iully emaciated. Standing at the win
dow near the feeble light, stood young
giri rewing.

you needs in dis life. and 'ternal JOY in de
lite to come" murmured the old negress,
with sob. IN git well as fast as ! can,
chile an well both 60 whar de rest Is
gone"
Long weary days passed. until at last old
aunty set out. leaning upon Tildy's arm, a
stout stick in one hand, and so she hobbled
| along. But she had over-estimated her
strength. On the third morning the sunken
cheek and glazed eye told that her hours
were numbered.
Tidy" she said, ''rs going where you
don't lead me no more. Use tried to keep
