CONCLUSION.

As the sum of all the hand of Lincoln rails
ed the flag; the American people was the
hero of the war; and therefore the result is
new erea of republicanism. The dtsturban-
ces in the country grew not out of anything
republican, but out Of slavery, which is part
of the system of hereditary wrong; and the
expulsion Of this domestic anomaly opens to
the renovated nation career of unthought of
dignity and glory. Henceforth our country
has moral unity as the land Of free labor
The party for slavery and the party against
slavery are no more, and are merged in the
party of union and freedom. The states
which would have left us are not brought back
as conquered states, for then we should hold
them only so long as that conquest could be
maintained; they come to their rightful place
under the constitution as original, necessary
and inseparable members of the state.
We build monuments to the dead, but no
monuments of victory. We respect the ex-
ample of the Romans, who never; even in
conquered lands, raised emblems of triumph.
And our generals are not to be elassed in the
herd of vulgar conquerors, but are of the
school of Iimoleon and William of Orange
and Washington. They have used the sword
only to give peace to their country and res
tore her to her place in the great assembly of
the nations. Our meeting closes in hope,
now that people begins to live according to
the laws of reason, and republieanism is en-
trenched In a continent.

pALMERsroN AND LINCOLN.

Hardly had the late President been cen
signed to the grave, when the Prime Minister
of England died, full of years and honors..
Palmerston traced his lineage to the time OF
the conquer; Lincoln went back only to his
grandfather Palmerston received his edu-
cation from the best scholars of Harrow, Ed
inburg and Cambridge; Lincoln's early teach
ers were the silent forest, the pralrie, tne
river and the stars. Palmerston was IN pup
lie life for sixty years; Lincoln for but tenth
of that time Palmerston was skillful guIde
of an established aristocracy; Lincoln lead
er or rather a companion ofthe people. Pal-
merston was exclusively an Englishman, and
made his boast in the House of Commons
that the interest ofEngland was his shibbo eth
Lincoln thought alwaysof mankind as well as
his own country, and served human nature
itself PaImerston, from his narrowness as
an Engiishman, did not endearhis country to
any one court or to any one people, but rath-
er caused uneasiness and dislike; Lincoln left
America more beloved than ever by all the
people of Europe. Palmerston was self-pos-
sessed and adroit in reconciling the contilct-
ing claims of the factions of the aristocracy;
Lincoln, frank and ingenious knew how to
poise himself on the conflicting opinions of
the people. Palmerston was capable OF IN
science towards the weak. quick to the sense
of honor, not heedful of right. Lincoln rejec-
ted counsel given only as matter of policy
and was not capable of being willfully unjust.
PalmerstoE, essentially superficial, delighted
in banter, and knew how to divert
grave opposition by playful levity; Lin
coin was man of infinite jest on
his lips, with saddest earnestness at his heart.
Palmerston was fair representative of the
aristocratic hberality OF the day, choosing for
his tribunal, not the conscience OF humanity,
but the House of Commons. Lincoln tookto
heart the eternal truths of liberty, obeyed
them as the commands of Providence, and
accepted the human race as the Judge of his
fidelity. Palmerston did nothing that will
endure; his great achievement, the separa-
ton of Belgium, placed that little kingdom
where it must gravitate to France; Lincoln
finished work which all time cannot over
throw. Palmerston is shining example of
the ablest Of a cultivated aristoeracy; Lam
coin shows the genuine fruits of institutions
where the laboring man shares and assists to
form the great ideas aud designs of his coun
try. Palmerston was buried in Westminster
Abby by the order of his Queen, and was
followed by the British aristocracy to his
grave, which after few years viii hardly be
noticed by the side of the graves of Fox and
Chatham; Lincoln was followed by the sor
row of his country across the continent to his
resting place in the heart of the Mississippi
valley, to be remembered through all time by
his countrymen, and by all the peoples of the
world.

rnE JUST DIED FOR THE UNJUST.

The assassination of Lincoln, who was so
free from malice, has by some mysterious in
huence, struck the country with solemn awe,
aud hushed, instead of exciting, the passi n
of revenge. 1t seems as if the just had died for
the unjust When think of the friendsI have
lost in this war-and every one who hears me
has, like myself, lost those whom he most
loved there is no consolation to be derived
from victims on thei scaffold, or from any
thing but the established union of the regen-
Grated nation.

CONTINUANCE OF THE WAR.
The war continued, with all the peoples Of
the world for anxious spectators. It's shares
weighed heavily on Lincoln, and his face
was ploughed with the furrows of thought
and sadBess. With malice towards none,
free from the spirit of revenge, victory made
him importunate for peace; and his enemies
never doubted his word, or despaired of his
abounding clemency. He longed to utter
pardon as the word for all, but not unless
the freedom of the negro should be assured.
The grand battles of Mill Spring which gave
us Nashville, of Fort Donelson Malvern Hill,
Antietum, Gettysburgh, the Wilderness Of
Virginia Winchester, Nashville, the cap
ture Of New Orleans, Viekburg, Mobile, Fort
Fisher, the march from Atlanta, and the
capture of Savannah and Charleston, all
foretold the issue. Still more, the self-re-
generation ofMissouri, the heart Of the con-
tinent: of Maryland, whose sons never heard
the midnight bells chime SO sweetly as when
they rang ont to earth and heaven that, by
the voice of her own people, she took her
place among the free: of Tennessee, which
passed through FIRE and blood, through sor-
rows and the shadow of death to work out
her own deliverance, and by the faithfulness
Of her own sons 10 renew her youth like the
eagle-proved that victory was deserved, and
would be worth all that it cost. If words
of mercy, uttered as they were by Lincoln on
the waters Of Virginia, were de6antly repell-
ed, the armies Of the country, moving with
one viii, went, as the arrow to its mark, and
without feeling of revenge, struck a death
h3oW at rehollion.

Miserable End Of a MIanrIr Rnrnnca.

The Paris papers report that the Commissary
Police OF the quarter Of the Place Tendome.
accompanied by a doctor, recently visited the
apartment OF baroness, in order to certify at
the request OF the inmates OF the house the
death OF the lady, who was seventy-hye wears
OF age The appearance OF the apartment indi-
Gated extraordinary neglect. There was scarcely
any furniture; the dust of years obscured the
window panes; and the paper on the wall was
spotted and rotten. The place appeared to have
Oeen unlnhabited from time immemorial, and
yet the Baroness had lived there for twenty-five
years paying an annual rent of l500E In the
bedroom, stretched upon truckle bed, and
partly covered with filthy rags, lay the body of
the Baroness.
An examination showed that death arose from
weakness caused by want Of food. 1t further
appeared that she starved herself wilfully; and,
indeed, in point OF avarice, the Baroness would
have borne away the palm from Harpagon or
Gosbeck. Notwithstanding her considerable
fortune, estimated at f50,000 year, she always
went clothed like beggar and often solicited
charity in the street. She lived on crusts of
bread, the re use OF cabbages, and such like gar
bage that she picked up from dirt heaps. A
few days before her death she fell down from
weakness, while passing the door of the con.
cierge, from want OF food; but she refused to
take some reireshment proHered her, no doubt
fearing that he would have to pay for it. She
succeeded in gaining her apartment, and was
not afterwards seen alive.
