THR WILMINGTON INsTiTUTE AND THE DEATH |
OF President LIEcoLS-At a meeting Of the |
Board Of Directors Of the Wilmington Institute, |
held May 23d, 1866, the following action was
taken in reference to the death Of President
Lincoln;-
The Board Of Directors Of the Wilmington
Institute although slow in fOrmsly expressing
Its sentiments in regard to the lamentable death
Of Abraham Lincoln, our late beloved Chief
Magistrate, is none the less sensible Of the great
affection which has thus befallen the Republic,
and Of the deplOrable circumstances attending
his decease.
The Board need not enter upon its minutes any
elaborateeulogy Of Mr. Lincoln's peculiar talents
and invaluable services. His good name and
memory may be safely trusted to the many thou
sands, as well Of bis own generation as Of pos
terity, whom he has 10 sgnally benefited by
his singular fidelity to their highest Interests.
Nor does the Board feel competent, even at this
remote period, TO refer in proper language to his
wicked murder, the elimination of gigBntic
rebellion go fraught with detestable crimes
The death Of Abraham Lincoln at any time,
whether In office or out Of Office, would have
moved the people most profoundly but, occur
ing as 1t did on the eve Of well won and hon-
orable peace-.ihe glory of which belonged fun.
der Cod 80 largely to his genius and virtues
and at the moment Of the nations greatest con.
hdenee in his integrity aud capacity, aud caused,
too, by the hatred Of hired and traitrous as-
sassin, his unexpected and cruel end must pro
duce in every loyal and humane heart feelings
of the deepest awe, reverence and affection.
The Board desires further, while acknowledge
ing the marvellous and innumerable favors
vouchsafed this people by Almighty God, to sig.
nifty its gratitude for the wonderful manner in
which this great and mysterious calamity has
been overruled BY gracious Providence to the
promotion Of those principles and measures
I which seem best calculated for the speedy
aud permanent restoration Of unity and pres
perty to our redeemed Republic, to whose
: safety and honor the members of this Board de-
sire hereby to dedicate alresh their every energy
and will
