course of the citizens of - WashingtOn'.'-I Gov.
Oglesby presented the delegation and made
a short address. The reply of the President,
which we give below, is very important as
indicating the future policyof the Govern-
ment.
GENTLEMEN: I have listened; witlrpro-
found emotion to' the kind Words you 'have
addressed to me. The visit of this large del-
egation to speak to me throughyou, sir,
these words of encouragement,- ‘I.had not
anticipated. In the midst of the saddening
circumstances which surrOund us: and the
immense responsibility thrown upon me, an
expression of the confidence. ofI'IiIndividuals,
and still more of an influential body like that
before me, representing a great common:
wealth, cheers and strengthens my heavily
burdened mind. I amIat loss for Words to
respond. In an hour like this, of-deepest
sorrow, were it possible to embody in words
the feelings of my bosom, I could not com-
mand my lips to utter them. Perhaps the
best reply I could make, and the one most
readily appropriate to your kind assurances
of confidence, wohld be to receive them in
[Sensation] The throbbings of .
my heart since the sad catastrOphe which
has appalled us cannot be reduced to Words;
and, oppressed as I .am with the new and
great responsibility which has devolved upon
me, and saddened with grief, I can with dif-
ficult'y respond to you at all. But I cannot
permit such..expression of the confidence
reposed in me by the people to pass without
acknowledgement. To an individual like
myself, who has never claimed much, but
who has, it is true, received from a generous
people many marks of trust and honor for a
long time, an occasion like this and a mani-
festation of public feeling so well-timed are
peculiarly acceptable. . Sprung from the
people myself, every pu‘lsation of the popu;
lar heart finds an immediate answer in my
own. By many men in public life such oc-
casinos are often considered merely. formal
To me they are real. Your words of coun-
tenance and encouragement sank deep in my.
heart, and were I even a coward I could not
but gather from them strength to carry out
my convittious of right. Thus feeling, I
shall enter upon the discharge of my great
duty firmly, steadfastly, - [applause] if not
with this signal ability exhibited by my pre-
decessor, which is still fresh in our sorrow-
ing minds. Need I repeat that no heart feels
more sensibly than mine this great afllicthn.
In what I say on thiscccasion I shall indulge.
in no petty spirit of anger, on feeling of re-
venge. But we have beheld a notable eyent
in the history of mankind. In the midst of
the American people, where every citizen is
taught to obey law and observe the rules of
Christian conduct, our Chief Magistrate, the
beloved of all hearts, has been assassinated ;
and when we trace this crime to its cause,
when we remember the source whence the as;
sassin drew his inspiration, and then look at
this most barbarous,mOst diabolical'asaasSina4
tion. Such a crime as the murder of a great
and good man, honored and revered, the
beloved and the hope of the people, springs
'bAmerican people.
the result, we stand yet mere iastounded at:
so desperate wickedness. we can 'trace its
cause {through’successive steps, without my
enumerating them here, 'back to the source
which lathe, spliing' Of all Our woes. No one
can saythat if the perpetrator, of this fiend-
ish deed be arrested he Should not undergo
the exaéfiimepenany- the law knows for
crime,‘h0he; will slay-that mercy "should in-
terpose. '.2 But is he alone guilty? Here, gen-
tlemen, you perhaps expect me to present
some indication of my'future polley.‘ One
thinngillsay. Everyera teaches its lcs-
son. The times we live in are: not without
instruction. The American peOpleimustj be
taught—lif they do not already feelj—jthat
treason is a, crime and must be punished [ap-
plaus'e],=that the Government will not al-
ways bear with its enemies; that it is'strong,
not only to protect, but to punish. [Ap-
plause] When we turn to the criminal code
and examine the catalogue of crimes, we
there find arson laid down as a crime with
its appropriate Penalty; ,W‘? find there the“
and robbery and murder given as crimes;
and there, too, 'wcifi'nd‘thc last ‘and highest
of crimes—treason.[ApplauSe] With other
and inferior, offences our people are familiar.
But in our peaceful history treason has been
almost unknown. The peOple must under-
stand that it'is the blackest of crimes and
will be surely panished. [Applause]
I make this allusion not to excite the al-
ready exasperated feelings of the public, but
to point Out ’t'he‘p'rihciples of public justice
which shouldguide our action at this partic-
ular juncture; and which accord with sound
public morals; H Let it be engraven on every
heart'th‘zft 'trcasonI'is a crime, and traitors
shall suffer itspcnalty [Applause] While
we are appalled, overwhelmed at the fall 'of
one man 'in' our midst by, the hand of' a trait-
or, sball,Iwc'IAIlow menf'—I'0are not by what
weapons—to; attempt the life of the State
with impunity? While we strain our minds
to comprehend the enormity of this assassin-
ation, shall we allow the nation to be assas-
sinat'ed. [Applause] I speak in no spirit
of unkindness. I leave the events of the fu-
ture to be disposed of as they arise, regard-
ing myself as the humble instrument of the
In this, as in all things,
justice and’ judgment shall be determined
by them. I do not harbor bitter or revenge-
ful feelings towards any. In general terms
Iwould say that public morals and public
opinion shouldbc established upon the Slll'L'
and inflexible principles ofjustlce. [Ap-
plause] When the question of exercising
mercy Comes before me it will be considered
calmly, judicially—remembering that I am
the Executive ofthc nation. I know men
love to have their names spoken of in con-
nection with acts of mercy ; and how easy it
is to yield to this impulse. But we must .
not fOrgef that what may be mercy to the
individual is cruelty . to the State. [Ap-
plause] In the exercise of mercy there
should be noIdoubt left that this high pre-
rogative is not 'used to relieve a few at the
expense of many. Be assured thatI shall
never forget that I am not to consult my own
feelings alOne, but to give an account to the
people. [Applause] In regard to my fu-
ture course, I will now make no professions,
no pledges. Ihave been connected some-
what actively with public afi'airs, and to the
historyof my past public acts, which is fa-
miliar to you, I refer for those principles
which have governed me heretofore. and
will guide me hereafter. In general, I will
say I have long labored for the amelioration
and elevation of the great mass of mankind.
My opinions as to the nature of popular gov-
ernment liave long been cherished ; and con-
stituted as I am, it is now too late in life for
me to change them. I believe that Govern-
ment was made for man, not man for Gov-
ernment. [Applause] This struggle of the
people against the most gigantic Rebellion
the world ever saw has demonstrated that
the attachment of the people to their Gov-
ernment is the strongest national defense
human Wisdom can devise. [Applause]
So long as each man feels that the interests
of the Government are his interests, so long
as the public heart turns in the right direc-
tion andthe people understand and appro—
ciate the theory of our Governinentand love
liberty. OuriConstitution will“ betransmit-
ted unimpaired. If the time ever comes
when the maple shall fall, the Government.
will fail, and we shall cease to be one of I he
nations of‘lhe earth. After having pl‘esclv'
ed our form of free Government, and shown
its powcrto maintain its existence through
the vicissitudes of nearly a century, it may
..be that it was necessary lorus to pass
through this. last ordeal of intestine strife
to prove that the Government will not perish
hfl'Olll infernal weakness, but will stand to
defend ltsclfagainst foes and punish trea-
son. [Applause.[
In the dealings of an inscrutable Provi-
dence and by the opperationsIot the Consth
tutlon, I have been thrown unexpectlyiuto
this position. My. past life, especially‘my
course during the present unholy‘Rebcllion

THE PRESIDENT’S FUNERAL.
Early on Wed nesday the streets of Wash-
ington were crowded with persons, thous-
ands ofthem from dislant cities. Nearly the
entire population wasabrOad. By 10 A. )I.
every prominent point on‘the line of the pro-
cession was occupied, and in the immediate
neighborhood of the Executive Mansion an
immense crowd had assembled. During the
forenoou various bodies had met at the Treas-
ury Department to whom Assistant Secreta-
ry of the Treasury Harrington delivered
tickets of admission to the Executive Man-
sion. They included the aSsisiant secreta:
ries, assistant postmaster gcngal and assis-
tant attorney general, senators and represen-
tatives, governors, the judiciary, and other
persons of prominence. None could enter
the mansion without tickels, room having
been provided for six hundred persons only
upon the raised platform steps on the cast,
north and south
corpse lay about the center, space being re-
served all around the catafalque with chairs
for the immediate family of the deceased.
At 11 o’clock gucsts began to arrive, a
body of about sixty clcrgymen from all parts
of the country being the first to enter. There
was an interval of a few moments between
the arrivals, thus avoiding all confusion—4
Tlic proper officers were in attendance to
assign the guests to appropriate places in
the room. The head of government burcas,
governors of states, meinbers'of‘ municipal
governments, prominent officers of the army
and navy, the diplomatic corps in full cos-
tume, members of‘ the Christian Commission,
Union league committees of Pliiladel phia and
New York, merchants Ofthc principal cities,
members of Congress, and men holding the
highest official stations, from all parts of our
own country and forcign lands, were there,
and the scene was solemnly grand and im-
pressive. At noon the President, in compa-

beloved dead would ever be identified with
all that is great and glmlous, with humanity
on earth.

and our military to perfect victory and to
complete the contest now nearly closed.
May the spirit of rebellion soon pass away;
may the last vestigc of'slavcry, which has
caused the rebellion, be driven from the
land.
Rev. Dr. Gurlcy delivered the funeral scr:
men, standing on the steps of the calafulque,
néar the head of the coffin. lIc commenced
by saying we recognize and adore the sover-
cighty of Almighty God. His throne is in
heaven and His kingdom rulcth over all. It
was the cruel hand, the dark band of an as-
sassin, that smote the honored, wise and n0-
blc president, and filled theland with mourn-
ing. But above this hand there is another,
which we must see and acknowledge. It IS
the chastcnlug hand of‘a wise and faithful
God. He gives us a bitter cup. We yield
to the behest and drink the draught. This
chastiscmcnt comes in a way heavy and mys-
Ierlously deco, at a time when the rebellion
is passing away. The occasion has stricken
down a man upon whom the people had
lmil‘lled to trust, upon whom, more than any
other, they had centered their hopes for the
restoration of the Union and the return of
harmony. In the midst of our rejoicing We
needed this stroke, this discipline; and there-
fore God has sent it. Our afiliction has not
come forth from the dust, nor from the
ground. Beyond the act of assassination let
iis look to God,whose perrogative is to bring
lightout ofdarkncss, and good out of evil.
He who has led us so well. and prospered us
so wonderfully during the last four years of
anxiety, and conflict. will not forsake us now,
He may chastcn, but will not destroy. He
may pdrily us in the furnace, but will not
consume us.
Letour principal anxiety now be that this
new sorrow may be sanctified sorrow and
to induce us to give all we have to the cause
of truth, justice, law, order, liberty, and
good government, and pure and iindcfilch
religion. 'I‘hough weeping may cudurc for
:t night, joy comclll in the morning. Thank
God that in spite of this temporary darkness
the morning has begun to dawn, the morn-
ing of a brighter day than our country has
ever before seen. That day will come, and
the death ofa hundred presidents and cabi-
nets cannot prcvcnt if. .
The people confided in the late lamented
President with a firm and living Confidence
which no other man has enjoyed since the
dn 5 of Washington. He deserved it well
and deserve it all. He merited it by his
character, fills acts and by the whole ten-
or and tone and spiritof his life. He Was
wise, siliiple, sincere, plain, hqucsl, truthful,
just, benevolent and kind; lllS perceptions
Were quiet and clear; hisjudgmcnt calm and
accurate, and his purposes were good and
pure. leyond a question, always and eve-
rywhere, be aimed and endeavored to be

of the occasion. He saw his duty as the
chief magistrate ofa great and imIpcrllled pcIo-
plc, and leaned on the arm of IIiiquho giv-
ctli power to the faint and who mcrcaseth
strength.
Towards the close of his address Dr. Gur-
ley said : I speak what I know, and testify
what I have often heard him say, when I af-
firm that God’s guidance and mercy were the
prop on which he humbly and habitually
leaned; that they were the best hope he
