                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolutions passed at a meeting held by the Welsh residents in London&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;sympathy with america&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of Welsh residents in London, held at the Young Men&amp;rsquo;s Christian Association institution, Aldersgate street, on Monday, the 8th of May, the Rev. Owen Thomas Jewin Crescent, in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I. Moved by Rev. Henry Richard, seconded by J. Owen, esq., Holloway, and supported by Rev. W. Rees, Liverpool:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting desires to express its utter abhorrence of the execrable crime by which Mr. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, was stricken down by the hand of an assassin, at a time so inexpressibly critical and momentous in the history of that country, while it cordially joins in the tribute of admiration so universally paid to the many admirable qualities of the deceased statesman, the honesty, simplicity, and firmness of his character, the rare self-control which he showed amid the excitement of conflict and the moderation and mercy with which he was prepared to use the advantages of victory.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;II. Moved by Mr. John Griffith, seconded by Mr. J. Williams, London city mission, supported by Dr. Nicholas, Dr. Reed, Swansea, Rev. W. Lloyd, Aldersgate street, and Thomas Williams, esq., Pendarran:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the meeting would convey to the people of the United States the assurance of its profound sympathy under the appalling calamity that has overtaken them, and earnestly hopes they will not suffer themselves to be driven, even by the supreme atrocity of this act, from the disposition, so honorable to their national character, which they had previously displayed, to act towards their vanquished brethren in the spirit of true Christian kindness and conciliation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;III. Moved by Rev. J. Kilsby Jones, seconded by Rev. H. C. Parry, supported by Rev. W. Edwards Aberdare, D. Davies, London, and D. Rowlands, B. A. Lanbrynmair:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the meeting would further record the expression of its respectful sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln in the midst of the awful affliction that has befallen her, and trusts that she may be enabled to find solace in the thought that the father of the fatherless and the judge of the widow is God in his holy habitation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="salute"&gt;Signed on behalf of the meeting:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;OWEN THOMAS,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chairman&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: We, the undersigned, speaking the feelings of a large number of Germans resident in England, express our sincere grief at the destruction of the life of the President of the United States, whose very forbearance and leniency in the hour of national triumph has not been able to stay the hands of assassins.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;While deeply deploring that the joy we have felt at the recent victories of the American republic should thus be marred by the untimely and violent death of its Chief Magistrate, we firmly trust that the people of the United States, who have carried on during four years a gigantic war in the cause of freedom and civilization, will only feel nerved to further exertions in rooting out the hateful institutions from which the slaveholders&amp;rsquo; rebellion, with all its attendant crimes, has sprung.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We beg you, sir, to convey these sympathetic sentiments of ours to the authorities of your free and great republic, and we subscribe ourselves yours obediently,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;The directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company, while occupied on the eve of accomplishing their enterprise for drawing closer the ties of friendship and cordial intercourse between the two kindred nations of America and the British empire, have heard with horror of the atrocious and recent acts by which the people of the United States have been deprived of their Chief Magistrate, in the person of their estimable and patriotic President, and have lost for a time the active services of Mr. Seward, who is one of their foremost ministers and statesmen.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The directors desire to record their deep sympathy with the people of the United States on this calamitous occasion, and hoping that these wicked and disastrous crimes will be traced to individual malignity, wholly foreign and abhorrent to the feelings of any section of the American people, they share with them in the sorrow and indignation which they have excited in this kingdom, and throughout the civilized world.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The directors further desire respectfully to tender to Mrs. Lincoln, and the bereaved families and friends of the eminent men who have thus fallen and suffered under the hands of assassins, their joint and individual condolence on their cruel bereavement and sorrows.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a general meeting of the committee of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, held at No. 27 New Broad street, E. C. London, on Friday, the 5th day of May, 1865, the following resolution was unanimously adopted, and the secretary was instructed to forward to the Hon. C. F. Adams, United States minister in London, copies of the same for transmission to Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, and to Mrs. Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;resolution&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The committee desire to record the feelings of dismay and sorrow with which they had heard of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, and of the murderous attempt upon the life of his colleague, the Hon. W. H. Seward. While they regard these crimes as unparalled in atrocity, deserving, as indeed they have justly excited, universal reprobation, they consider that the peculiar circumstances under which they were perpetrated remove them out of the category of ordinary crimes, and give them a deplorable prominence as the natural manifestations of the execrable system of slavery directed against the exponents of a policy of freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The committee deem it especially their duty to bear their testimony in appreciation of the high qualities which distinguished Abraham Lincoln as the ruler of a great people, who during a season of unprecedented difficulty consistently adhered to principles which have happily been accepted by the nation, and in their application will secure the liberty of four millions of our fellow-creatures, held oppressed and degraded in the very worst form of bondage. As the emancipator of the slaves in the United States, Abraham Lincoln is entitled to the gratitude of all mankind.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The committee, in condoling with the people of the United States on the occasion of the signal loss they have sustained in the sudden removal of their late President, would express the confident hope that they will remain steadfast to the policy of emancipation, to the steady development of which his life was consecrated, and to which he fell a martyr, and will strengthen the hands of his successor to pursue the same noble course. They also fervently trust, that in the high and responsible position which Andrew Johnson, now President, has been called to fill, he may be guided by the wisdom which cometh from above; that he may be endowed with the forbearance which tempereth justice with mercy, and be spared to bring to a happy and peaceful consummation the work Abraham Lincoln began.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The committee would further express their profound sympathy with the family of Abraham Lincoln, under the bereavement which bows them down with grief. At such a solemn time they will derive consolation from the worldwide manifestation of sorrow and regret which the violent death of him who was their head has elicited, and will be strengthened to bear up against this grievous calamity, and be cheered by the reflection that he and his descendants will bear an honored name, which the ever-increasing multitudes of a once down-trodden race will hold enshrined in their hearts to be transmitted to remotest posterity, as that of one of the greatest benefactors of mankind.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;SAMUEL GURNEY,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;President&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: We, the undersigned, merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London, are anxious to express to you, as the representative of the United States of America, the horror and indignation with which we have heard of the assassination of the late President, Mr. Lincoln. This event, which, under any circumstances, would have called forth these feelings, seems to do so more strongly at this time, when so much appeared to depend upon Mr. Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s well known character for integrity, and his kindly desire of conciliation in the great task to which he was about to address himself&amp;mdash;of restoring peace and concord in that great country over the councils of which he presided.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We also desire to express our deep and heartfelt sympathy in the irreparable loss which his family have sustained; and we beg you will convey to them the assurance of this feeling, which we believe to exist universally throughout this country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;H. L. HOLLANDS,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;Governor of the Bank of England&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;London, W.&lt;/span&gt;, 18 &lt;em&gt;Greek street&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;May&lt;/em&gt; 13, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: The demon of the peculiar institution, for the supremacy of which the South rose in arms, would not allow his worshippers to honorably succumb in the open field. What he had begun in treason he must needs end in infamy. As Phillip Second&amp;rsquo;s war for the inquisition bred a Gerards, thus Jefferson Davis&amp;rsquo;s pro-slavery war a Booth.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is not our part to cull words of sorrow and horror, while the heart of two worlds heaves with emotion. Even the sycophants who, year after year, and day by day, stuck to their Sisyphus work of morally assassinating Abraham Lincoln and the great republic he headed, stand now aghast at this universal outburst of popular feeling, and rival with each other to strew rhetorical flowers on his open grave. They have now at last found out that he was a man, neither to be browbeaten by adversity nor intoxicated by success&amp;mdash;inflexibly pressing on to his great goal, never compromising it by blind haste; slowly maturing his steps, never retracing them; carried away by no surge of popular favor, disheartened by no slackening of the popular pulse; tempering stern acts by the gleams of a kind heart; illuminating scenes dark with passion by the smile of humor; doing his Titanic work as humbly and homely as heaven-born rulers do little things, with the grandiloquence of pomp and state; in one word, one of the rare men who succeed in becoming great without ceasing to be good. Such, indeed, was the modesty of this great and good man, that the world only discovered him a hero after he had fallen a martyr.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;To be singled out by the side of such a chief, the second victim to the infernal gods of slavery, was an honor due to Mr. Seward. Had he not, at a time of general hesitation, the sagacity to foresee and the manliness to foretell &amp;ldquo;the irrepressible conflict?&amp;rdquo; Did he not, in the darkest hours of that conflict, prove true to the Roman duty to never despair of the republic and its stars? We earnestly hope that he and his son will be restored to health, public activity, and well deserved honors within much less than &amp;ldquo;ninety days.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;After a tremendous civil war, but which, if we consider its vast dimensions and its broad scope, and compare it to the Old World&amp;rsquo;s one hundred years&amp;rsquo; wars, and thirty years&amp;rsquo; wars, and twenty-three years&amp;rsquo; wars, can hardly be said to have lasted ninety days. Yours, sir, has become the task to uproot by the law what has been felled by the sword, to preside over the arduous work of political reconstruction and social regeneration. A profound sense of your great mission will save you from any compromise with stern duties. You will never forget that, to initiate the new era of the emancipation of labor, the American people devolved the responsibilities of leadership upon two men of labor, the one Abraham Lincoln, the other Andrew Johnson.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the working men of London, held at St. Martin&amp;rsquo;s hall, on Thursday evening, May 4, 1865, Mr. Thomas Bayley Potter, M. P. in the chair, it was&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That in addition to expressing their deep sympathy with the people of America for the great loss they have sustained, this meeting also desires to convey to the President, government, and people of the United States, their congratulation on the decisive successes which have lately attended the federal arms, affording a just hope of a speedy suppression of the rebellion, and the entire extinction of the accursed slave institutions, and therefore adopt the following address:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To the President, government, and people of the United States:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We, the working men of London, send you greeting! For more than four years have we watched, with the deepest anxiety, the momentous and stupendous struggle in which you have been engaged; we have sympathized with your reverses, rejoiced over you successes, and hailed with delight your late decisive triumph over the men who raised the standard of rebellion, not for the advancement of liberty, but that they might establish in your midst an empire with the avowed object of maintaining, extending, and perpetuating the accursed slave institution, for so long a period the dark spot in your national history. We were about to congratulate you on your late glorious victory, and on the extirpation from your great republic of that foul stain of slavery, when we were shocked at receiving the intelligence that the man who had done so much to bring about this desired end, gradually and constitutionally, who had pursued steadfastly his anti-slavery policy, braving alike the opposition of the open foe, the fears of the timid, the prejudice of the ignorant, and the abuse of the aristocrat, had fallen a victim to the fiendish attack of an assassin, on the eve of witnessing the consummation of his great and glorious labor, and while the words of conciliation and mercy to the vanquished enemy were yet hovering on his lips.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;People of America, we deeply feel with you the great loss you have sustained by the untimely death of your late illustrious President, Abraham Lincoln, who had endeared himself to his country and mankind, especially to the toiling millions of the civilized world, not less by his pure and stainless character than by his great services to his country in its time of agonizing trial. We feel that the loss of such a man is ours as well as yours. We feel that the loss of such a man is not only a loss to the nation over which he presided, but a loss to the world at large. Raised by the force of his own character and genius from a humble position in the ranks of industry to be the first citizen of a great and glorious republic, his memory will be endeared to, and enshrined in, the hearts of the toiling millions of all countries, as one of the few uncrowned monarchs of the world. Abraham Lincoln has been sacrificed in the cause of negro emancipation, and the freedom of the slave has been consecrated by the blood of his deliverer.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;People of America, in your grief and affliction we the working men of London, offer you our heartfelt sympathy. We also have to lament the recent loss of a man among us whose life was devoted to our interests, and whose political career, like that of your Abraham Lincoln, though less troubled, was equally pure and stainless, Richard Cobden. May we, acting in the spirit of these two great men, draw closer the bonds of unity between us, and may peace and good will always exist between our respective nations. That man is a traitor to humanity and freedom who would lift his voice or his pen to provoke hostile proceedings between England and America; that man, be he peer or plebian, be he in the senate or on the platform, or in the press, who would say or write anything in favor of a war between the two countries is little less a miscreant than that assassin who has so lately struck down the foremost man amongst you. Be assured, whatever you may have heard to the contrary, either in a parliament with which we have nothing in common, and in which we are not yet represented, or in the leading articles of the corrupt and venal portion of the press, the working men of Great Britain have always been sound upon the great struggle in which you have been engaged, and, while you have been fighting, they have been anxiously watching and awaiting that time, now it would appear so happily approaching, when the rights and dignity of labor shall be acknowledged to exist equally in the black man as in the white. It was for this Abraham Lincoln lived and labored. It was for this Abraham Lincoln died the martyr of freedom. May his glorious example be as a beacon light to his successor. May he and those associated with him in the government, carry out the principles and policy of Abraham Lincoln, tempering justice with mercy, and triumph with conciliation, and the blood and treasure poured out during the last four years, will not have been sacrificed and expended in vain.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Accept, people of America, the pledge of sympathy and the hand of fellowship and fraternity, from the working men of England&amp;rsquo;s great metropolis.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Leeds, in the county of York, held in the Town Hall, on the 1st of May, 1865, convened by the mayor, in accordance with a requisition presented to him by the inhabitants&amp;mdash; present, the mayor, in the chair&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the inhabitants of Leeds, in public meeting assembled, would emphatically express the feeling of horror and intense regret with which they have heard of the atrocious acts by which the United States of America have been suddenly deprived of their President, and the life of his chief Secretary has been endangered; and that they recall with melancholy interest the friendly feeling invariably displayed by the late President Lincoln towards this country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That while deeply lamenting the removal of President Lincoln from his exalted position, at a time when his combined wisdom and benevolence seemed peculiarly needful to secure the peaceful and harmonious reconstruction of the American nation, this meeting earnestly hopes the surviving statesmen of that great republic may succeed in speedily and happily surmounting every obstacle to such a reconstruction, in accordance with the immutable principles of justice and freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That a copy of the preceding resolutions, signed by the mayor, on behalf of the meeting, be forwarded to the United States government, and that the American Consul at Leeds be requested to transmit such copy to the embassy in London.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That copies of the foregoing resolutions be also forwarded to Mrs. Lincoln, with an expression of the deep sympathy entertained by the inhabitants of Leeds for herself and her family in their heavy bereavement and affliction.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Extract from Proceedings&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by Owen Williams, esq.; seconded by Joseph Coventry, esq., and resolved unanimously&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Believing that it is the duty of all associated bodies of Englishmen to give expression to the feelings of horror and indignation excited in every English mind by the execrable murder of the wise, patriotic, and magnanimous ruler of a great people, and this in a moment when, triumphant in the terrible struggle which has so long devastated his native land, he had no thoughts but those of clemency toward the vanquished; no desire but to assuage all animosities, and to confer on all classes of his fellow-countrymen, without distinction of color, the blessing of equal rights and privileges; and regarding with equal horror and detestation the murderous assaults on the chief Secretary of State and members of his family, the council of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association desire to convey to the President and people of the United States, to the bereaved widow and family of Abraham Lincoln, and to the Hon. Mr. Seward, if his life be happily spared, or to his family, if deceased, an assurance of their sincere sorrow and sympathy, in contemplation of the atrocious deeds which have converted the hour of triumph for them and their country into one of universal mourning; and, also, an expression of their earnest hope that, whatever differences of opinion or causes of complaint there may have been on one side or the other, the knowledge that there is not one person in America not closely related to the victims that detests and deplores these savage deeds and their consequences more than every honest man in the United Kingdom, will have the effect of burying in oblivion the remembrances of all such grievances, real or imaginary, and of permanently restoring those feelings of cordial amity which ought ever to prevail between two great nations, one in race, language, laws of religion, and henceforth, in really free institutions. And the council further desire that the Hon. Mr. Adams, resident American minister at London, will have the goodness to transmit this resolution to the proper parties in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the citizens of Lincoln, convened by public notice, and held in the Guildhall, in the said city, on Saturday, the 20th day of May, 1865, at which meeting the mayor, Richard Sutton Harvey, esq., presided, the following resolutions were proposed and unanimously carried:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Proposed by Mr. Coroner Hitchins, and seconded by the Rev. A. F. Macdonald:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the citizens of Lincoln deeply regret the melancholy termination, by assassination, of the life of President Lincoln, and more especially at a time when the continuance of his career of usefulness was in the greatest need.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That they deplore the irretrievable loss which Mrs. Lincoln has sustained, and fervently sympathize with her in her sorrow and bereavement.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the citizens of Lincoln sincerely hope the pleasing recollection of the many virtues of her departed husband may in a measure tend to alleviate the sorrows of Mrs. Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That they rejoice that the deadly intentions of the cowardly assassin upon the valuable life of Mr. Seward and his sons were thwarted, and they cheerfully congratulate him upon his providential deliverance.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the council of the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of the city of Lincoln, held at the Guildhall, in the said city, on Tuesday, the 9th day of May, 1865, it was proposed by the worshipful the mayor of Lincoln, Richard Sutton Harvey, esq., and seconded by Mr. Thomas John Nathaniel Brogden, and carried unanimously&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of the city of Lincoln, England, in council assembled, are desirous of expressing their most profound sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln, and the people of the United States, now plunged into the deepest sorrow by a deed which has in a moment not only deprived her of a beloved husband, but them also of their elected chief, and filled the mind of every member of their great and intelligent republic, as well as the mind of every thoughtful individual throughout the world, with feelings of the utmost horror, indignanation, abhorrence, and grief.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the mayor, aldermen, and citizens, in council assembled, are desirous, most respectfully, to present to Mrs. Lincoln their sincere and heart-felt sympathy and condolence on the melancholy loss she has sustained in the death of her illustrious husband.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the mayor, aldermen, and citizens rejoice that the dastardly attempt upon the life of Mr. Seward was frustrated, and sincerely hope that he may long be spared, to continue that assistance to his bereaved country which he has hitherto afforded, and with the help of his great colleagues may succeed in speedily restoring it to a position of freedom, happiness and peace.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;The corporation of the borough of Kendal, moved by indignation at the foul and treasonable assassination of the late President of the United States, hereby transmit to his excellency Charles Francis Adams, for communication to the American government, the sincere expression of sorrow that the life of the chief ruler of the American people has been sacrilegiously taken at the moment he was designing, by conciliatory and kindly measures, to heal the discord and anarchy that has so grievously afflicted the United States. It will rejoice the corporation of Kendal to learn, in the process of time, that the sanguinary struggle, during which so many precious lives on both sides have been sacrificed, has eventually resulted in freedom to the whole family of man on the North American continent&amp;mdash;a consummation necessary to the sacred character of a free constitutional state.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Address of the provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Kirkaldy, Scotland&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;To Charles Francis Adams, esq., envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary for the United States of America, London.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: The provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Kirkaldy, Scotland, desire to express their unfeigned sorrow at the tragic termination of the career of the late loved and lamented President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;They join in the universal cry of horror and detestation at the dreadful crime which has inflicted so deep a wound in the heart of the nation, and has awakened so keen a sympathy with you throughout the civilized world.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;They recognize in the late President a man who, by his honesty, vigor, and ability, secured the intense affection and respect of the people; one fitted to rule in the midst of the greatest civil conflict the world has seen, and to temper with forbearance and clemency the triumph over the vanquished. They join in earnest hope that your severe and protracted struggle may terminate with his intentions and desires fully accomplished, in the downfall of slavery, and in the entire removal from your great nation of an evil which has hitherto tramelled and distressed it. They anticipate a bright future for America in the reign of freedom, intelligence, and Christian worth; they desire an intimate and friendly understanding between her and the government and people of Great Britain; and trust that, together, they may long continue the pioneers and promoters of civilization and freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;They will feel obliged by your communicating these sentiments to the government of America.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Signed in name and by authority of the provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Kirkaldy, and the seal of the burgh hereunto appended.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;PATRICK D. SWAN, N. B.,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Provost Magistrate of Kirkaldy&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Hartlepool, convened by the mayor, in response to a numerously signed requisition from the ratepayers, and held in the Town Hall on Tuesday, May 2, 1865, James Grooves, esq., mayor, in the chair, it was unanimously resolved&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;We, the town commissioners of West Hartlepool, in the county of Durham, beg to convey to you and, through you, to the people of the United States, our deep abhorrence and detestation of the foul crime which has so suddenly deprived you of your late President, Abraham Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;At a monthly meeting of the Huddersfield improvement commissioners held on Wednesday, the 5th day of May, 1865, it was&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the Huddersfield improvement commissioners, in monthly meeting assembled, feel that they cannot but give expression to their feelings of horror and indignation at the atrocious acts by which the United States of America have been suddenly deprived of their late President, and by which the lives of Mr. Secretary Seward and his two sons have been endangered.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The commissioners would also record their deep sympathy with the people of the United States, and with the widow of President Lincoln, in the irreparable loss which they have sustained through his death.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Address to President Johnson by the friends of union and emancipation in Hawick&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Address unanimously adopted at a public meeting of the friends of union and emancipation, held at Hawick, Scotland, May 5, 1865:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;His Excellency, &lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Andrew Johnson&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;President of the United States of America:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Having heard with profound sorrow of the assassination of his Excellency President Lincoln and the attempted assassination of the Hon. Mr. Seward, we tender to you this expression of our deep sense of the wickedness of the atrocious crime that has been perpetrated, and of our heartfelt sympathy with the American people under the heavy loss they have sustained in the untimely close of Mr. Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s great career.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;While feeling deep sorrow for the death of that great and good man, to whose inflexibility of purpose and unswerving fidelity to great principles the American people have been so much indebted throughout the gigantic struggle in which they have been engaged, we cannot help expressing, at the same time, our high satisfaction at the recent great victories of your armies, under General Grant, over the confederates at Richmond and Petersburg, the capture of these cities, the surrender of General Lee with the shattered remnant of his once formidable rebel army, and the subsequent successes of the army under General Sherman, resulting, as that brilliant series of events does, in the entire overthrow of one of the most gigantic conspiracies against the rights of mankind of which history contains any record, and giving confident hope of the complete restoration of the Union and of the emancipation of the negro race.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We cannot doubt that the same policy which was so steadfastly and ably carried out by Mr. Lincoln will be continued by yourself, on whom the highest responsibilities of the state have now devolved; and we trust that ere long the great issues of Union and emancipation may be fully and happily consummated; and that the United States, emancipated from the evil and disorganizing institution of slavery, and from the dominating power of a slave aristocracy, may come out of this great crisis a yet purer, stronger, and freer nation, and that between her government and ours, and her people and ours, feelings of amity and brotherhood may ever be maintained, and that the two nations advancing together in righteousness, in commerce, and in moral power, may lead forward the nations of the world to higher conditions of prosperity, happiness, and justice than any that have yet been attained.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="salute"&gt;Signed in name and by authority of the meeting.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;ANDREW WAUGH, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chairman of the Meeting&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
