ident Lincoln the London Globe says
The news from America will send q thrill
of horror through the land. 1t is too 500
to estimate the depth and breadth Of tn
great calamity to America and Europ'
Mr.. L. had coma nobly through the grei
ordeal. He had extorted approval eve
frorn his opponents on this side of tn
water. They hal reluctantly admired b
drmness, fairness and sagscity. He hs
done what he considered to be his dut
with magnsnimity. He had neve
called vengeance upon one individual. l
his dealing with foreign countries, and
his expressions in regard to them, he cam
to be remarkable, because he showed
iustness of view and tone which were NJ
common among American Presidents. ]
the hour when the cause he had lahore
for was about TO triumph, and peace on
more prevail over the torn snd bleedir
continent, he was shot by q cowsrdly 8
sassin. Who can possibly say what hoo
; gate this set may not open, TO what 9th
: crime it may not lead ? The future, ho'
: ever, defies conjecture. All we can do
to express the grief we sincerely feel tn
our transatlantic cousins should hs
o been deprived of one who will hencefor
rank among the most honest of Amerio
J. Presidents.
i The Star says; The whole eiviliz
world will lament the cruel death of Pre-
8 dent Lincoln. Now that the pro-slsve
i rebellion has been put down, and slave
i received its death blow, he has sccomplil
J. ed the mission which he was raised to +
s fill. and leaves behind him a pure a
j spotless name, the name of a martyr
y well as patriot
