UNMOVED BY CALAMITY.
ave have during the last few months witnessed one OF
the most extraordinary spectacles OF Governmental STA
by and steadlness ever in the world II there
any principle in the Republican party upon wnch II mas

that it has more than profoundly ncucated
is that under any and all circumstances OF domestic
calamity or Of foreign invasion, the Republic yes and
stands serene and undIsturbed tGreat applause ana
while in the midst OF profound quiet and confidence

whole Nation had accorded the right, the privilege and
the desire that he should complete his Office and carry
out his policy is stricken down In minute there are
no disturbances no riots breaches Of the peace but
the Nation mourns serenely.
Had this occurred in any other nation, or under any
other form of government whole civil and military es-
tatlisbment would have been necessary TO keep the
government tosether but that neea Goes nos ,6at
here because the Government is IN the keeping OF t
