Such arc the names Of this committee
as reported. They may have. been pre-.
sent, all Of them, or not. 1t is IRE.
qinenst thing to put forth the names of
parties on such committee, assuming
for them a sympathy for the object in
view, when, in fact, they may know
nothing about it. We give the follow.
ing speech OF Hon. Mr.. Aiken, on tax.
ing the Chair
FEILow.CIrlaESs: We are assem-.
bled to ponr out the general grief which
has been felt in this city for the sudden
removal from this life of Abraham LIN.
coin, late President of the United States.
The horrible and atrocious assassination
of President Lincoln has filed every
feeling heart with sorrow and indigna.
tion. did not know, personally, the
late President, but those who did have

me; his heart was benevolent and for.
giving, and. we are told, and have reason
to believe, that through HIM our difficult
ties would soon have been adiusted,and
peace once more restored to o,rr dis.
tracted country. Our expressions of dis.
gust for the dastardly wretch who could
have conceived and executed such a dia.
bolical act, can scarcely be uttered. Muir.

ticularly so IN this momentous crisis of
our country---now our most anxious mo.

Can it be believed that in tile nine.
teenth century that human being
could be found to have in his bosom So %
diabolical an idea-a with an accom-.
plice, enter the sick bedroom Of another
eminent and distinguished personage,
the Secretary Of State. and plunge into
his bosom the deadly weapon /? The
heart sickena at the recital Of such hor.
! rors. n s.gEik keyta 81 Nt& Rrt
We sympathize with the late Presil
dents family and that of Mr.. Stewards.
May the Almighty stretch over them
the hand of mercy, and enable them 10
bear the sad bereavment with pious hu-
.mility. 8s l.T
At this critical juncture Of our nation.
all affairs, our thoughts are naturally turn.
ed to the Yice.P President now President
.of the United States, Andrew johnson.
When the people Of Charleston District
did me the honor Of making me their
representative in Congress, I met there
Mr, johnson, of Tennessee. / now taI,e
