ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
EULodY By CHARLES SUMNER.


From the Eulogy on Abraham Lincoln
delivered before the municipal authorities
! OF Boston, on the day Of National humilia.
ton and prayer appointed by President
johnson, by the Hon. Charles Sumner, the
following extracts are made. After briei
introduction, Mr.. Sumner said:
For the second time In our history, the
country has been summoned BY the Presi-
dent to unite, on an appointed day, il com.
memorating the character and services Of
the dead. The first was on the death o1
GeorRe Washington, when, ~ now, day
was Get apart for simultaneous eulogy
|throughout the land, and cities, towns and
villages, all We'd in tribute. More than
half 8 century has passed aimee this early
Country, and now It IL repeated in memory
Thus are Washington and Lincoln asso-
ciated in the grandeur of their obseqnies.
But the association is not accidental. 1t is
from the nature Of the case, and the part
which Lincoln was called to perform re-
sembled in character the part which was
performed by Washington. The work left
undone by Washington was continued by
patriotism, each was naturally surrounded
1t death by kindred homage. One sleeps
in the East, and the other sleeps in the West;
and thus, In death, - In Life, enc is the COM
plement Of the other.
The two might b compared after the
manner of Plutarch; but It will be enough
for the present II We glance only 1t certain
points Of resemblance, and Of contrast, 20
% 70 recall tho part which each performed.

during . period Of surprising trial; and
each thought only Of the public good, sim

ed devotion to country will always find q
synonym in their names. Each was the
national chief during time Of successful
war. Each was the representative Of his
country at . great epoch Of history: But
here, perhaps, tae resemblance ends and
the contrast begins. Unlike in origin, con.
Iversation and character, they were unlike,
also. in the ideas which they served, ex.
cept 90 far ~ each was the servant Of his
country. The war conducted by Washing

Of the one was unlike the peace which be-
gan to smile upon the other. The two wars
did mot differ In the scale Of operations and

1t was sometimes said that the procla-
nation was of doubtful constitutionality.
Iii this criticism did not proceed from
sympathy with slavery, it evidently pro-
ceeded from the prevailing superstition
with regard to this idol. FutGre Iiurists
will read with astonishment that such q
fiagrant wrong could be considered at any
time as having any rights which court
was bound to respect, and that especially
rebels in arms could be considered as hav-
ing any title to the services of people whose
allegiance wss primarily due to the United
States. But, turning from these couclu-
sions, It seems to be plain that slavery,
out any support in natural law, must have
fallen With the local Government, both le-
gally and constitutionally legally. inas-
much as Is ceased to have any valid legal
support, and constitutional1y. inasmuch
as 1t came at once with the exclusive juris-
diction of the Constitution, where liberty
lis the prevailing law. The President did
ing with the voice Of authority, he said.
'sIet the slave be free!' Wha: court and
congress hesitated to declare, he pro-
claimed, and thus enrolled himself among
the worlds emancinators.
