one of these offenses which. which IN the
providence of God. must needs come. but
which have continued through His ap-
pointed time. He now wills to remove,
and that He gives to both North aud
South this terrible war as the woe due to
to those by whom the offense came, shall
we discern there is any departure from
those Divine attributes which the believers
in living God always ascribe to Him Z
FOndly do we hope, fervently do we pray
that this mighty scourge of war may
speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills
that it continue until all the wealth piled
by the bondman's two hundred aud fifty
years of unrequited toll shall be sunk,
and until every dropof blood drawn with
the lash shall be paid by another drawn
with the sword, as was said three thou
sana years ago, so still it must be said,
''the judgments OF the Lord are true ana
righteous altogether. y ..ifH
With malice toward no one, with char
ity for all, with frmness in the right, as
God gives us to see the ri ht, let US strive
on TO finish the work we are in, to bind
up the nations wound, to care for him
who shall have borne the battle and for
his widow and his orphans and to do all
which may achieve and cherish just and
lasting peace among ourselves aud with
all nations

In the background rose the Capitol,
every window and vantage ground filled

the President and the Chief Justice were
the diplomatic N"Tps in their rich attire,
the Supreme Court in their siikeu robes
and the Senator's and Representatives.
Before the platform were the people,

JUBILEE.
all nations

The Town hall at Morrisyille. was H.
Illuminated and crowded with rejoicing
men, women and children on the evening
of March 4th, who met to celebrate the
late brilliant victories of our army and
navy, the triumph of universal liberty in
America, and the second Inauguration OF
that great aud good man, Abraham Lin
coin. ....
The meeting was duly organized by
calling q W. Hendee to the chair, and by
electing 0. l.. Metcalf and B. l.. Rand
vice presidents, and ?. X. Glecd secretary,
aud opened by the singing of the Star
Spanged Banner" by the Glee Club and
by an eloquent and appropriate prayer by
Rev A. A. Williams.
The Chairman then introduced Faith
er Gleed, by few remarks which were
very true and complimentary ia the old
gentleman. He remarked that Father
Gleed" made his platform over forty years
ago, and, though since that time, we Lad
had seen and read platforms of various
shades and sentiments. his had now been
adopted as our nattntal platform.
In the course of his remarks which
were sound and wise. Father Gleed" re-
marked that il he should compare the
events of the past four years with those
of the past four hundred, he should be
compelled to say that he was to night
four hundred years old.
The audience then listened to number
of sharp, witty, aud patriotic toasts offer
ed by DR.. Horace Powers, which were
most Justify cheered by the meeting.
"Burke's Band" enlivened the enter.
tainment with "0ld Zip Coon, performed
in their best style.
Many volunteer toasts were offered !,
among which B. B, Hause proposed the
following:
"May live to see the day when the
palsey shall strike jeff. Davis upper ex-
trenches and proceed downward until his
knees smite together like those OF Belshas-
sar."
Three round cheers and roaring "ti-
ger, were given for "honest old Abe"
and after adopting the following resolu-
tons the audience adjourned, all feeling
more than ever, the old determination
never to lower the stars and stripes"
Resoivsd, That in Abraham Lincoln,
We behold the right man. in the right
place, at the right time, and We pledge
ourselves to support him and the admin
istration, to the utmost of our ability, to
the close of this wicked and unholy re-
bellion.
Resotesd, That the Political. Civil and
Military condition of our free Republic
gives us full promise of bright glori-
Gus and peaceful future wherein the in
allenable rights of every man, woman and
child. of whatever kindred color, nation
or tongue, shall be most zealously cher
ished, fearlessly defended, and forever
guaranteed. 20

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

Fellow Countrymen: At this second
appearing to take the oath of the presi.
dental office there is less occasion for an
extended address than there was at first.
Then statement of course to be pur-
sued seemed very fitting and proper. Now
at the expiration of four years, during
which public declarations have been con-
stahtly called forth on every point and
phase of the great contest which still alb
serbs and engrosses the energies of the
nation, little that is new could be presen-
ted. The progress of our arms, upon which
all else chiefly depends,ls as we'll known
to the public as to myself, and it is,
trust, reasonably satisfactory and encour-
aging to all. With high hope for the fu-
ture, no prediction in regard to it is ven
tured.
On the occasion corresponding to this
four years ago, all thoughts were anxious
ly directed to an impending civil war.
All dreaded it; all sought to avoid it.
While the inaugural address was being
delivered from this place, devoted alto
gether to saving the Union without war
insurgent agents were in the city seeking
to destroy it without war; seeking 70 dis
solve the Union and divide the effects by
negotiation Both partiesde preciated war,
but one of them would make war rather
than let the nation survive, and the ether
would accept war rather than let it perish,
and war came.
One eighth of the whole population
were colored slaves. not distributed gen.
orally all over the Union, but localized in
the southern part of it. These slaves
constituted peculiar aud powerful inter-
est. All knew that this interest was
somehow the cause of the war To
strengthen. perpetuate and extend this in.
terest was the object for which the insur-
gents would rcnd the Union by war, while
the government cl lined no right to do
mo re than restrict the territorial enlarge
ment of it. Neither party expected for
the war the magnitude or the duration
which it has already attained, Neither
anticipated that the cause of the conflict
might cease. even before the conflict it.
self should cease. Each looked for an
easier triumph and result less funda-
mental and astounding.
Both read the same Bible and pray to
the same God and each invoke his aid
against the other. 1t may seem strange
that any man should dare to ask lust
Gods assistance in wringing' their bread
from the sweat Of other mems faces but
let us judge not, that we may not be
judged. The prayer of both could not be
answered. That of either has not been
answered fully. The Almighty has his
own purposes "Woo unto the world be.
cause Of offenses, for it must needs be
that offcnses come, but woe to that man
by whom the offense cometh." Ii we
shall suppose that American slavery is
