WHEREAS, The entire nation and the

shocked and grieyed ut the attempted
assassination OF our beloved President,
by whose side since then his faithful,
Christian wife has cheerfully ministered,
and whose daily prayers, mingling with
those of a nation, have gone to the
throne of grace, praying that he might
be spared to live out and complete that
life so full of promise and fruition; and,
WHEREAS, The dispatches of to-day
are ominous and forboding and nearly
devoid of hopes therefore,
ResOtped, That in common with all
peoples and nations, but more especially
for ourselves, we deplore and mourn this
dastardly, murderous blow aimed at a
nations life, and call upon the courts 10
see that this crime go not unpublished.
ResOIred, That We tender TO the noble
woman and children now watching by
the bedside of a sinking husband and
father our dearest sympathies in their
sorrow and trial.
Resolced, That we long for our Presi-
dents recovery, yet should it be decreed
that he pass from this sphere of earthly
usefulness, we have full confidence in
the noble generous and sensible Gener-
al Arthur and IN that Providence to
which we are already, as a people, so
much indebted, that no harm will come
to the state, and that her bright escutch-
con will be preserved untarnished.
