cation In reference to the poem which you copied
on Tuesday, from the New York Evening Post,
says that Mr.. Lincoln remarked that he would
give great deal TO know who wrote ii, but
that be had never been able to ascertain. The
poem had long been a fsmiliAr one ; and looking
over some selections cut from newspapers at
different times, We were fortunate enough to

Knox, appended This copy differs in two or

country, we cannot now speak, since they can
mot now be estimated; but OF the consequence
les to its authors, there can be no doubt. ~ is
u deed the most insanely suicidal OF all lneir
suicidal course. The country has oeen IN
atemper of mind most mercifui ana ciemeht
Edwards them. Seeing the authority Oh tne
nation restored, and weary OF suffering and
sbloodshed it has felt little disposed to proceed
4 10 extermities, even against the authors OF all
H. woes But deed like this must rouse all
dr. righteous wrath anew, and animate 1t with
1.-The determination to sweep from the face OF
Jthe earth the monsters who pollute it with
1 their presence. Ii seized and brought to tri-
/ al for their crimes, their best hope was in tie
! merciful compassion of him they have so foul
lly murdered. The man who succeeds to his
empty seat is made Of sterner stuff. II the
processes Of law leave them in his hands, short
shrift will be theirs. Be it so. But yester-
sday, we, too, would have pleaded for mercy for
them. But since conquered in the field they
resort to the dagger Of the assassin. the sale
aty of society demands their punishment. Lei
/ che sword of justice free the lana OF sucn
ddastards, for honest men cannot breathe tne
same atmosphere with them.

The fendlsh spirit of the rebellion, that spi
rit OF the lowest hell, has eliminated at last

It's true colors. The country mourns to-day
over loss as Overwhelming as it is remedi-
less. The wise, thoughtful, humane. far-see-
Ing, great-hearted man, whose steady hand
has guided the helm OF state through four aw-
full years OF storm and peril, whose patient
courage in our darkest hour has never falter-
cd, whose integrity has ntver wavered, whose
loving-kindness, even to his enemies has new

OF peace begins 10 gladden. our ewes. has fall

cowardly assassin. Seeing their cause utterly
lost, with no hope to revive it, and with no
possible expectation OF aiding it, but prompts
ed By that satanic spirit which has animated
them from the first, the rebel leaders have
planned this revenge on the chief agents Of
the peoples will. Unquestionably it was a
part Of the plot to include General Grant in
the list Of victims, but his timely and unex-
pected departure from the capital saved him.
We will not trust ourselves to comment on
the deed, or even to suggest what those

the first emotion which must fill every heart
at the intelligence is the sense of personal and
incurable loss. Not since the Father Of his

shades Of Mount Vernon, has death claimed apy
