This address was adopted at a banquet held to congratulate the American government on the suppression of the slaveholders’ rebellion. Barrhead, Renfrewshire, May 4, 1865. Dear Sir: We cannot express the grief and horror which filled our hearts at the tidings of President Lincoln’s death. But who shall say that a crime less atrocious than the murder of that great and good man, who, in the eyes of the world, stood, by character and position, the most prominent representation and champion, in the history of this or any other age, of the cause of personal and national freedom, would have befitted the death, desperation of southern slavery? In the light of this, its last and culminating sin, which has at length revealed its infamous depths as a treason against all that is sacred to humanity and shocked the world, we bless God for the men and the measures which have swept that accursed institution away for ever. We congratulate your government and people on the suppression of this gigantic rebellion, and the successful assertion of your indissoluble unity as a nation, results fraught with incalculably blissful interest to every other nation, and especially to the sons of toil everywhere throughout the whole earth. And while we would turn with tenderest sympathy to the sad, bereaved ones in your midst, from the home first desolated by this fearful struggle to that of your lamented President, and would seek to mingle our sorrow with theirs, and while we would weep for the innocent sufferers whose natural protectors have fallen in a bad cause, we cannot but hail the dawning of a future for your country infinitely more glorious than its past, and rejoice in it, not for your sake alone but for our own, and for the cause of liberty and labor in all time coming.

At a public meeting of the trading and working classes of Brighton, held at the town hall on Friday evening, the 5th of May, 1865, on the assassination of the President of the United States—J. L. Brigden, esq., mayor, in the chair—it was unanimously resolved as follows: That this meeting regards with feelings of utter abhorrence and indignation the atrocious murder of Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States, by the hand of a ruthless assassin, and desires to express its profound sympathy with those who are our brethren in origin, at the awful calamity which has thus befallen their great nation, and stricken us with amazement and horror; and that this meeting of working men sympathize the more deeply with the untimely death of Abraham Lincoln, as he was the first President elected from the working classes to the high position of ruler of one of the mightiest nations of the globe; that he carried successfully the struggle of free against slave labor, and we confidently hope and believe that his successor, Andrew Johnson, who also sprang from the same class, may complete the work so nobly begun. That the deepest sympathy of this meeting be presented to Mrs. Lincoln on this most calamitous event, which, whilst it has deprived the nation of the United States of its President, has rendered her a sorrowing widow, under circumstances so cruel, lamentable, and distressing. That the address adopted at this meeting, as well as the foregoing resolutions, be presented to his excellency Charles Francis Adams, minister of the United States, by the mayor of Brighton, in conjunction with the members of the borough, who are hereby respectfully requested to join him therein.

Resolution passed at a meeting held by the Bristol Reform Union. Sir: We, members of the Bristol Reform Union, in meeting assembled, believing it to be the duty of all public bodies to put on record an expression of the feelings of horror and indignation excited in every right-minded person by the atrocious murder of a wise, honest, and patriotic President of a great republic, and regarding with equal detestation the cowardly assault on the chief Secretary of State, desire to convey to the President and people of the United States, to the bereaved widow and family of Abraham Lincoln, and to the honorable Mr. Seward and his family, the assurance of our heartfelt sorrow and sincere sympathy in their profound affliction and abhorrence of the treacherous and cold blooded murder of their noble and illustrious President by a ruthless assassin the tool of a foul conspiracy. Associated for the purpose of obtaining political rights for the unenfranchised millions of our own country, we feel the sudden removal of such a man as a loss not only to you, but to ourselves and the world at large. Sprung from the people, and raised by the force of his native genius and industry to be the Chief Magistrate of a great and free people, he has endeared himself to all lovers of liberty by his devotion to the great cause of negro emancipation, and by his earnest desire to confer the blessings of equal rights and privileges on all, without distinction of party, creed, or color. While thus deeply sharing your grief and sorrow that just as the great work he had set himself to was approaching its consummation, his death has turned the hour of triumph into one of mourning, we fervently trust that his successor may adhere to the policy he inaugurated and tread in his footsteps, by tempering justice with mercy, and by advancing those glorious principles of freedom and progress to which he had devoted himself; and we sincerely hope that whatever differences of opinion, imaginary grievances, or animosities may exist on either side, they may not disturb the cordial amity and good feeling which ought to prevail between two nations so like in race, language, and religion, but that the common interests of humanity, the mutual dependence of the two countries, and the sympathy evoked by this sad catastrophe, from all classes of Englishmen, may knit more closely the bonds of Union and brotherhood between England and America.

Ashton-under-Lyne, May 10, 1865. Resolutions passed at a meeting held by the Temperance Society of Ashton-under Lyne. The president, vice-president, officers, and members of the Ashton-under-Lyne Temperance Society, in meeting assembled, have heard with profound grief of the brutal and cowardly assassination of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States of America, and hereby record their feelings of horror and detestation at the malignity and treachery of the act which has deprived that great country of its Chief Magistrate, and express their heartfelt sympathy with the people of that country in their time of all-absorbing sorrow. This meeting beg to offer their tribute of reverence for the memory of a great ruler, whose ripened experience and humanity pre-eminently fitted to reconcile the animosities of a divide people and heal the wounds of a distracted nation. This meeting feel all the more earnest in their attachment to Mr. Abraham Lincoln because he had for more than fifty years adopted and carried out those great principles of temperance and total abstinence (from all intoxicating drinks) for which we are contending. That, whether he enjoyed the privacy of home, or sustained the dignities of a palace; that, whether he performed the duties of a citizen, or the more difficult duties of governing a great nation, he had the wisdom to see, and the moral courage to adopt, the great principles of temperance, truth, and progress. This meeting also respectfully offer to Mrs. Lincoln and family their genuine affection and sympathy for their irreparable loss, and trust they may find sweet consolation in witnessing the grand results of the wise, unselfish, and patriotic career of their martyred husband and father.

Smyrna, Asia Minor, May 19, 1865. Meeting of American citizens in Smyrna. Yesterday a meeting of the resident citizens of the United States in reference to the late deplorable events at Washington was convened. Rev. Daniel Ladd opened the meeting with a few remarks, stating its object; whereupon Mr. Joseph Langdon was chosen chairman, and Mr. F. C. Blackler secretary. Rev. Mr. Ladd then addressed the meeting, (which was numerously attended by ladies and gentlemen,) in a feeling and appropriate manner, after which the national hymn “America” was played and sung, followed by a fervent and impressive prayer by Mr. Ladd. Mr. Langdon made some remarks on the life and character of the late President Lincoln, and offered the following resolution: Resolved, That we have heard with indignation and profound grief the assassination of the beloved President of our republic, Abraham Lincoln, and of a further horrible attempt to destroy the lives of our Secretary and Assistant Secretary of State. That as regards the taking of the life of our Chief Magistrate at this critical moment, when all true Americans were trusting that great and good man to bring us out of the troubles which this terrible rebellion has caused, we all execrate the monster who has perpetrated the horrid deed, and thus deprived our country of one we all loved and trusted in. Mr. Blackler proposed the following resolution: Resolved, That the American citizens of our republic resident in Smyrna tender our heartfelt sympathies to Mrs. Lincoln and family in the irreparable loss they have sustained, as well as our country, by the death of our beloved Chief Magistrate. Mr. John Griffitt, United States vice-consul, proposed the following resolution: Resolved, That in this our deep distress we feel consoled in having such a successor to our late lamented chief as Andrew Johnson, one in whom we repose every confidence, and whose long and honorable career in various departments of public life have qualified him in the highest degree to occupy the distinguished position of President of the United States. Rev. Mr. Ladd proposed the following resolution: Resolved, That the secretary of this meeting be appointed to take charge of the foregoing resolutions, and to transmit a copy of them to Mrs. Lincoln, and a copy to the Department of State, at Washington. The above resolutions were severally seconded and unanimously adopted. After other remarks from other members of the meeting, expressive of the great loss sustained by our country, the meeting was closed with religious exercises. F. C. BLACKLER, Secretary.

Smyrna, May 24, 1865. Address of British residents in Smyrna. Sir: The crimes that have been committed upon the persons of the late lamented President of the United States, and of the Secretary of State, the honorable William H. Seward, have excited in us the strongest abhorrence. We would fain add our voice to that of our countrymen in England in giving expression to the feelings to which those deplorable events have given rise. The great principles of morality, which are above all social or political contingencies, have been outraged in the crimes above alluded to, in a manner that makes it incumbent upon every community, however small, to brand with execration the perpetrators of them, and to reject with indignation whatever plea may be put forward in extenuation of them. The many and rare virtues that were combined in the person of President Lincoln, make his loss a great misfortune to the American nation, and demand that we should offer to it, as we do, our utmost sympathy and condolence. We beg, sir, that you will be so good to transmit to your government this expression of our sentiments, and to add our respectful request that Mrs. Lincoln may be informed how deeply we grieve at the calamity that has befallen her. We have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient humble servants, ROBERT WM. CUMBERBATCH, Her Britannic Majesty’s Consul. G. WHITTALL. A. EDWARDS. FRED. LA FONTAINE. J. T. WOOD. WILLIAM B. LEWIG, M.

Beirout, Syria, May 13, 1865. At the call of J. Aug. Johnson, esq., American consul at Beirout, a meeting of the American citizens resident in Syria was held at the consulate this afternoon, at 5 o’clock, to give expression to the sentiments of the local American community with reference to the assassination of President Lincoln. The consul was called to the chair, and the Rev. Philip Berry appointed secretary. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Van Dyck. After a statement of facts by the Chair, a committee was appointed, consisting of the Rev Messrs. Van Dyck, H. Jessup, and Post, to draw up suitable resolutions embodying the sense of this meeting, and which are as follows: Whereas in the inscrutable dispensation of Divine Providence our country, in the midst of its rejoicings for victory, has been overtaken by a great national calamity in the assassination of President Lincoln and severe wounding of the Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, in the attempt to assassinate him: therefore, Resolved, That we do hereby express our detestation of the dastardly and horrible crime which has deprived our nation of its Chief Magistrate, at such a crisis in its history as the present, and our unfeigned grief and humiliation under this sorrowful dispensation. Resolved, That we do hereby unite with our fellow-citizens and countrymen, at home and abroad, in expressing our high appreciation of the character of President Lincoln as a patriot, as a citizen, and as Chief Magistrate of the United States, and that, as a mark of respect for his memory, we wear the usual badge of mourning for forty days. Resolved, That we earnestly pray for the speedy restoration of Mr. Seward to health and strength. Resolved, That J. Aug. Johnson, esq., United States consul for Syria and Palestine, be requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions, signed by the chairman and secretary, to the Department of State at Washington, and another to the family of the deceased President, with whose grief we deeply sympathize.

[Translation.] To the loyal people of the United States of America: At a mass meeting in the city of Zurich, on the 2d of May, 1865, the German residents, Swiss citizens, and others present, resolved unanimously to express to you, the loyal people of the United States, their heartfelt sympathies. We are, above all, animated by the most profound sorrow that your simple-minded yet great, wise, and noble President, just realizing the joyful conviction of the overthrow of the rebellion, has been taken from you by the hand of a fiend in human shape. To him, the reconstructor of the Union, next to George Washington, its founder, immortality is secured. The name of Abraham Lincoln will, in history, be identified with the gigantic four years’ contest which has been fought, not for America alone, but also for Europe and ail mankind. With most renowned valor, energy, and sacrifices cheerfully made, have you, soldiers and leaders, people from the humblest to the highest positions of life, triumphantly upheld your rights and laws, the supremacy of the glorious Constitution of the greatest republic on the globe. May all “chivalry” rebellions everywhere thus be trodden into the dust! But you have done more; you have gloriously vindicated the divine rights of man without distinction of race; you have opened an honorable field to free labor, and given the death-blow to slavery wherever it exists. With enthusiasm we welcome this eventful deed, one of the greatest in the history of the world. The foundation of your republic hastened the outbreak of the French revolution. The rejuvenation of the Union will give strength and speed to the great principle of self-government in its march through the world. We, therefore, offer to you, the loyal citizens of the United States, our warmest expressions of joy, admiration, and gratitude. In conclusion, to you, our beloved countrymen on the other side of the ocean, we express our pride at your vigorous and manly participation in the battles and victories of the Union, and with overflowing hearts we press your brave hands. Loyal citizens of the United States, remain true and steadfast to the cause of liberty and humanity. The star-spangled banner forever! The committee: O. BULLE, President. C. GOEDEL, Secretary. H.

The central committee of the Federal Gymnastic Society, in the name of the young men of Switzerland, join in the many testimonies of sympathy which have been sent to you from Switzerland, for the noble cause you are defending. The news of the horrid crime committed upon the person of your worthy President Abraham Lincoln, the great citizen who did so much for liberty in his country, was painfully received by the sons of free Helvetia; but his task will not remain unfinished, it will be continued by his worthy successor. A great cry of condemnation arose in Europe, and we join it with all our soul, hoping the noble cause you defend will yet triumph over all opposing obstacles. We address ourselves to you, Mr. President, in the name of all the sections of the Federal Gymnastic Society, in expression of the confidence we have in the successor of the noble and virtuous Lincoln.

[Translation.] Geneva, May 3, 1865. The people of Geneva to the people of the United States of America. Brothers on the other side of the ocean: The energetic defender of the integrity of his country, the valorous champion of the abolition of slavery, the great citizen, Lincoln, has fallen a victim of the most cowardly crime. His death is a loss for humanity and for liberty in both hemispheres. It is not the people of the United States alone, but all free peoples with them who have to mourn for this upright patriot. Lincoln was the type of those disinterested characters, of those valiant and humble hearts which democracies must count in great numbers to maintain their rights inviolate, and to assure their continual march towards progress. In the midst of the terrible trials which the American Union has encountered, in all the exigencies of civil war, this upright patriot had but one purpose in view, to respect his oath of fidelity to the Constitution, to prevent the dismemberment of the great republic, to efface the only stain upon its flag, slavery. This is what President Lincoln has realized; he has accomplished this gigantic task without harm to the liberty of the people, with probity and energy in the choice of means, with moderation and generosity towards the vanquished; and for these eminent qualities, for this disinterestedness, he has been basely assassinated. This was more than a crime against the inviolability of human life. It was a crime of treason to republics. In a country where the people alone is sovereign; in democracies where laws, freely discussed and agreed to, are the basis of society, magistrates have a sacred character; to strike them down is to insult the whole people—is to commit the most abominable of high crimes. Geneva comes solemnly to associate her sorrow and regret with the great grief which this terrible blow has caused the United States. In the darkest days, when the starry flag was held in check by a rebellion, whose real purpose was to consolidate the institution of slavery, and to extend it to territories destined to form new States, the people of Geneva met to send a testimony of sympathy and words of encouragement to the American Union. Her wishes have been realized. The United States emerge from civil war free and more powerful than ever. The little republic of Europe sees with profound satisfaction the result of the trials which the American people have undergone for four years; she breathes a prayer that this power may never be employed to weaken popular liberty and sovereignty, to violate oaths, and satisfy ambitious projects of conquest. The civil war of the United States will have the same effect for them, we trust, as the Sundenbund, which in 1847 drenched Switzerland with blood. It is from this period the Helvetia dates the closest union between all the cantons without distinction of language, without consideration of local interests. Let the conduct of President Lincoln serve as an example, and the same homogeneity will be realized in the United States. The only cause of division is slavery; may this be scattered forever, even to its smallests roots, and the great republic will have no more internal dangers. The maintenance of its integrity is of the last importance for the future of the republics of the New World. Events have shown this; like a train of powder, no sooner did civil war break out in the Union, than American democracies were in danger. St. Domingo, Paragua, Mexico, are the plain proofs of this. These facts speak—they speak loudly, and need, no commentary. If any one could still doubt the necessity of maintaining the great republic in its integrity, such facts should dispel all uncertainty. Liberty and power compel, says liberal Europe, while fixing her eyes upon the American Union. It is for you, strong and free people, to give an example for other people; you have done it nobly up to this time; you will do it still— you will do it even to the end; you will utterly abolish slavery, and you will stretch a tutelar hand to the liberties of all peoples. We earnestly desire this, and have confidence that it will be, for you have numerous citizens, whose only ambition is to follow in the footsteps of the Washingtons, Franklins, and Lincolns. It is with this conviction that the people of Geneva, assembled in meeting, say to you, brothers on the other side of the ocean: Long live the republic of the United States of America! Long live liberty! Done in meeting, the 3d day of May, at the Electoral building, and unanimously adopted by the four thousand persons present. MOISE NANTIER, President du Consul d’Etat. AD.

Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your official letters, with date of yesterday, communicating to me, in one, your receipt of official confirmation from your government of the death of his Excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, and, in the other, notifying me that the sloop-of-war of your nation anchored in this port desires to make the usual funereal demonstrations for such a sad event to-morrow, 24th, current. At the first intelligence of this disgraceful event I expressed immediately to you the profound grief of which I was possessed. Repeating now this manifestation, I am sure that you will receive the same as a sincere expression of the good and cordial friendship existing between the peoples of the United States and Portugal, and no less as witness of my personal and lively sympathy toward your noble nation. That was a doubly deplorable attempt which deprived a great country of its worthy chief just at the time when he had achieved the end of a civil war which had for so long a period ravaged it. This fatal occurrence will serve, however, to render still more grateful and cherished the memory of his Excellency Abraham Lincoln to his countrymen for the eminent services which he bestowed, even to the sacrifice of his own life. Furthermore, expressing my sorrow that his excellency the Secretary of State, Mr. Seward, and his son, Frederick Seward, should have been made victims of this attempt, I congratulate with you over the comforting intelligence that they are thought to be beyond peril of life. It remains for me to say to you that to-morrow the forts of the city and the lorcha-of-war Amazona will have their ensigns at half-mast, and the Guia fort will accompany this demonstration of grief with discharges of cannon, a gun every half hour.

The undersigned, mayor and members of the municipality of the city of Aix-la-Chapelle, allow themselves to express to you, much honored Mr. consul, representative of the United States for the Rhenish provinces and Westphalia, their sympathy for the great and irretrievable loss which your country has suffered by the atrocious murder of your highly gifted and noble President Lincoln. The horrible and abominable crime which deprived a country of its chief, in the very moment when his presence was most needed to heal the wounds, and secure the results of a war of several years, in defence of the noblest cause, has filled all Europe, and especially Germany, with abhorrence and dismay. We are more especially penetrated with these sentiments as our city has been in relations, for so many years, with your native land, and has the satisfaction of being the seat of the consulate for the Rhenish provinces and Westphalia. We beg you, honored sir, as the worthy incumbent of the consulate, to bring the present resolutions to the knowledge of the government of your country, and to accept the assurance of our highest esteem. <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>C.

[Translation.] To the Congress of the United States of America: While the recent victories of the federal army were announcing to the world the prompt termination of that gigantic struggle by which the principles of true liberty would be established in America, the terrible news of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln cast a shade of consternation and mourning over the spirits of all lovers of liberty and civil progress. Like all those who had such principles at heart, the Juvenile Association of Torre del Greco was struck with profound indignation and grief. In uniting with the many voices that are heard in every part of the world proclaiming their horror for a crime that should not be recorded in history, for respect to humanity, and their sympathy for the great and free nation of which Mr. Lincoln was the worthy chief, our society is assured that in him society has lost the bravest champion of its rights, and will welcome his idea, to which, like so many other great men, he was the illustrious and honored victim.

[Translation.] April 30, A. D. 1865. Extract from the minutes of the common council of Torre del Greco, in the province of Naples. The common council met in its hall, the seventh ordinary meeting, in presence of the mayor, Antonio Agostino Brancaccio, the following councilmen being present: Rafaele d’Amato, Stapino Brancaccio, Silvestro Costabile, Giuliano Dedilectis, Luigi Dolce, Antonio d’Istria, Roberto Lullo, Agnello Lullo, Biondo Palomba, Antonio di Bartolomeo Palomba, Francesco Rajola, Vincenzo Scognamiglio, Francesco Maria Sorrentino, Stefano Sorrentino, Cavalier Andrea Vitelli, Michele Villano, making a quorum of seventeen out of the thirty members of the council, excluding the mayor and secretary. On motion of Biondo Palomba, in regular order, the council unanimously adopted the following address of condolence for the cruel death of Abraham Lincoln, President of the republic of the United States of America, and ordered it to be sent to the American Congress, through the United States consul in Naples: <blockquote> “He who, like Lincoln, constitutes himself the redeemer of humanity, has a right to the love and gratitude of all succeeding generations. Such a person is immortal, and the whole world mourns his death. If the grief is great when such a man dies a natural death, how much greater it must be when he is hastened to an untimely tomb by the hand of an assassin! Such a crime is scarcely comprehensible to a reasonable mind, and the being who commits it can scarcely be reckoned as a human being. “The policy advocated by Mr. Lincoln is victorious, and will endure forever His successor, inspired by the glorious example, can easily remove any obstacles that might arise to impede his progress. “The common council of Torre del Greco, in condoling with the American people for the assassination of Lincoln, is sure his plan will be carried out by Mr. Johnson.” </blockquote> The above is a correct copy of the minutes adopted by the council, after hearing it read; and signed by the mayor, as president, by Cavalier Andrea Vitelli, the oldest member present, and by me, the secretary.
