AS friend OF Lincoln We thanked
g OF for calling so great and good
man home before he should become
disgusted with the Auuas. the James,
the TkaddeUses, the Henjamius, the
Chareses, the treds. and others Of
the leaders of the CD and Morality
party,
We thanked God for calling Lin
coin into the presence and company
of Democrats, as he is If in Heaven.
The poor President suffered enough
from being with Aho!i,:orists on
earth, and we thanked God fer clit-
ing him beyond their reach or in
ttuence here er hereafter
Whatever is, is right. GOD, who
rules us ali, wanted Lincoln rem DYED;
He made Booth His agent no one

We believe the country is better
off now than when Lincoln was
alive.
We believe more in statesman

humorous yarns in time of way,
We believe Lincoln was Z mere

We believe the country would be
better off today, if every Republican,
and Abs lition traitor, mrdaler

or tool of traitors. were in the bosom
Of Abraham.
We believe further. tina, the
Abolition party is going to the
