&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;To 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;The entire world, with different feelings, has anxiously awaited the termination of the great contest, the civil war that has lacerated the limbs of the great and happy republic. Tyranny and double-faced diplomacy attempted to rivet the chains of slavery upon the universe; democracy struggled to break the fetters and crush the head of despotism with them, and sound the hymn of victory and liberty. The hour of victory has struck for liberty; tyranny, pale with rage, gnaws its own viscera, and trembles upon its tottering throne.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Long live the government of Washington! Long live the great republic of the United States! They overthrew the slaveholders of the south, who had ruled the country for three quarters of a century; but the brave republicans broke off the manacles of millions of slaves, raised them to the dignity of manhood, and now embrace them as men and brothers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;But amid the victorious jubilation came the horrid rumor of Abraham Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s barbarous assassination! He was the honored parent of the new-born liberty; but you, Mr. Johnson, will be the foster-father of the new republic. Lincoln is dead; but grateful humanity will erect a splendid monument to the memory of the sublime martyr of liberty, and will appease his spirit by scattering the ashes of the cursed assassin Booth to the four winds of heaven, and destroying; tyranny and slavery that prompted him to the horrid deed.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;An address of condolence, dated the 21st of June, 1865, from the municipality of Messina to the consul of the United States of America&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;To honor the name of a great citizen, one of the most liberal among nations, and to transmit his name to posterity, the municipal council voted in their sitting, the 13th of May last, and decided on giving the name of Abraham Lincoln to one of the principal streets which is shortly to be opened in the new quarter of Terranova in this city.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;This is an attestation of affection to the United States of America, to honor the memory of their indefatigable President, who fell a victim to treachery, but surrounded by the light of a sublime idea, &amp;ldquo;the freedom of slaves.&amp;rdquo; It is, finally, an homage to the great principles of liberty, without which whatever may be the civil event is false and illusory.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Be pleased, worthy sir, to accept, and have accepted by his excellency President Johnson, who now represents the government of the United States, this testimony of grief and sympathy which the people of Messina tribute to the great American nation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Mayor, President&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;G. CHANCIAFARA&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;We, inhabitants of distant regions, ultimately address a word to you, citizen President, to manifest to you the great grief that afflicted our hearts on the melancholy intelligence of the assassination of the illustrious President, Abraham Lincoln&amp;mdash;mourned for nine days in the temple of our mysterious works.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In vain did that sacrilegious hand raise itself to smite such virtue, for his name will last to eternity. In him America acknowledges the Washington of liberty; to him the slave to-day pours out his benedictions that his chains are loosed, and the civil people from all quarters of the globe spread flowers and tears on the tomb of the just.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is but too true that the country of virtue is heaven, and its temple the world.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Accept, citizen President, this tribute of regard towards the late Illustrious which all the fraternity of this respectable lodge dedicate to him. In the mean time we beg you to manifest our grief towards the American nation, which is to-day so nobly given to you to represent.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Health!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln is dead, not from disease in his own bed, surrounded by friends and parents, but in consequence of a wound inflicted by an unknown hand. Nothing positive yet is known as to the reason why the fatal shot was fired; but, unfortunately, men who are useful to their country either die before the accomplishment of the work they had undertaken, or hands bought with the gold of their enemies cut the thread of their lives, hoping that the trunk being severed, the tree will not blossom; but if the roots are sound, it will, though late. So you, citizen President, ought to do. Falter not, because the life of your predecessor was taken, for it is your duty to finish what he traced out, and not only is the most powerful part of America with you, but the whole world represented by the people who, when they love, love from the heart and shed their blood for any just cause. Yours is one of the most just, and let the great try to crush the people, and cry out that they are of no account; they are the elect of God, and their cause will triumph, for all the peoples of the earth have their hopes and sufferings in common, and, call a man Abraham Lincoln, or any other name, it matters not, for it is not the body or the soul but the party he represents which calls our attention.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln, the strenuous defender of the rights of the people, is no more; but you, Andrew Johnson, having taken his place, have the task of completing the work.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Receive the best wishes for the prosperity of your republic, from the brothers of the Leghorn Lodge Anziani Virtuosi, Orient of Leghorn.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Citizen President&lt;/span&gt;: The members of the Fraternal Association of Artisans of Leghorn send to the American people a word of sincere condolence and brotherly grief on the occasion of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. They are aware that the valorous champion of the American Union was born an artisan, and that liberty made him great and powerful, not to oppress but to strengthen and ennoble an entire nation; for this they have loved him as though they had I been his sons or brothers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The living Abraham Lincoln we looked upon as a hero; dead, we mourn him as a martyr, and his memory will ever remain in the heart of the artisans as the symbol of a true faith&amp;mdash;the faith of liberty.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;From the seat of the Fraternal Association of Artisans at Leghorn, May 21, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Genoa&lt;/span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;May&lt;/em&gt; 4, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Honored Sir&lt;/span&gt;: While the democracy of Europe was exulting with joy at the late victories of the Union, which had secured the triumph of the holiest of causes, the news of an execrable crime suddenly filled them with consternation and mourning. Abraham Lincoln has been assassinated. The death of this virtuous and great citizen is a universal misfortune. All humanity was struck down in its benefactor, the emancipator of the black race.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In the midst of manifestations of public grief which come from every part of Italy to the representatives of your nation, the Union of the operatives of Genoa raise their cry against the murderers of Lincoln, and send, through you, to your brothers in America, the assurance of their profound grief. We hope that the calculations of the assassins will fail, and that this great crime will not arrest the successful progress of your cause.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Your fellow-citizens will have the magnanimity to avenge this crime in a manner befitting a great nation, by consolidating the work of emancipation initiated and carried forward by Lincoln with such intelligence and courage.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We feel certain that your great republic, which in a few years has displayed so many miracles of valor, constancy and sacrifice, as to fill the world with surprise, purified from the foul stain of slavery, regenerated in blood, and blessed by all humanity, will be more glorious and powerful than before the war, furnish a model for European nations, and lift up the beacon of hope for oppressed peoples.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Faithful to the Monroe doctrine, you will not, we are sure, tolerate the planting of a foreign monarchy on the borders of your own land, which is the sacred asylum of liberty.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We beg you to convey to your government and fellow-citizens these sentiments of admiration and affection which we cherish for your country and her cause.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;MICHELE BOERO,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;And others, Consuls&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;div class="tei-postscript"&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;mdash;The Union of Operatives has unanimously voted this address, and further resolved to drape its flag in mourning for one year.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Genoa&lt;/span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;May&lt;/em&gt; 4, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Honored Sir&lt;/span&gt;: While the democracy of Europe was exulting with joy at the late victories of the Union, which had secured the triumph of the holiest of causes, the news of an execrable crime suddenly filled them with consternation and mourning. Abraham Lincoln has been assassinated. The death of this virtuous and great citizen is a universal misfortune. All humanity was struck down in its benefactor, the emancipator of the black race.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In the midst of manifestations of public grief which come from every part of Italy to the representatives of your nation, the Union of the operatives of Genoa raise their cry against the murderers of Lincoln, and send, through you, to your brothers in America, the assurance of their profound grief. We hope that the calculations of the assassins will fail, and that this great crime will not arrest the successful progress of your cause.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Your fellow-citizens will have the magnanimity to avenge this crime in a manner befitting a great nation, by consolidating the work of emancipation initiated and carried forward by Lincoln with such intelligence and courage.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We feel certain that your great republic, which in a few years has displayed so many miracles of valor, constancy and sacrifice, as to fill the world with surprise, purified from the foul stain of slavery, regenerated in blood, and blessed by all humanity, will be more glorious and powerful than before the war, furnish a model for European nations, and lift up the beacon of hope for oppressed peoples.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Faithful to the Monroe doctrine, you will not, we are sure, tolerate the planting of a foreign monarchy on the borders of your own land, which is the sacred asylum of liberty.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We beg you to convey to your government and fellow-citizens these sentiments of admiration and affection which we cherish for your country and her cause.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;MICHELE BOERO,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;And others, Consuls&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;div class="tei-postscript"&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Note&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;mdash;The Union of Operatives has unanimously voted this address, and further resolved to drape its flag in mourning for one year.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln lived long enough to see the triumph of the holy cause of human liberty which he spent his life in defending, and we most warmly desire that the people who, with heroic valor, have fought to obtain this triumph, may soon gather the merited fruits of their toils under the smiles of peace and prosperity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: While from all parts of the civilized world your great and noble country receives daily solemn assurances of condolence and of sorrow for the execrable crime which has taken away your Chief Magistrate, permit the undersigned to send from the city which produced the immortal discoverer of America our word of condolence, and at the same time our word of admiration&amp;mdash;of grief for that loss which is a loss not only to the United States, but to all humanity; of admiration for the majestic solidity of a social and political edifice in which so great a misfortune does not disturb the movement of public affairs.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln lived long enough to see the triumph of the holy cause of human liberty which he spent his life in defending, and we most warmly desire that the people who, with heroic valor, have fought to obtain this triumph, may soon gather the merited fruits of their toils under the smiles of peace and prosperity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;American meeting in Florence on account of the death of Abraham Lincoln&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Pursuant to a call of the consul general, the citizens of the United States resident or temporarily staying at Florence met at the consulate on Tuesday, May 2, to take such measures consequent on the death of President Lincoln as might seem appropriate. The meeting, numbering nearly one hundred American gentlemen, was called to order by Hiram Powers, esq, and, on his motion, Col. Lawrence, the consul general, was appointed chairman, and Dr. B. B. Appleton, of Boston, chosen secretary.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Col. Lawrence, on taking the chair, addressed the meeting as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Fellow-countrymen&lt;/span&gt;: We have met here to-day, united as mourners and companions in a common sorrow, to take counsel together in a national calamity, in an unspeakable and overwhelming grief, which bows our heads and fills our hearts. One of the best of Presidents, one of the purest of statesmen, one of the truest of men is no more, and the lamentation which arises from every part of our land finds a responsive echo in our own bosoms. The appalling tragedy which has removed our Chief Magistrate is absolutely without parallel or precedent in history. C&amp;aelig;sar found a Brutus because he had trampled upon the liberties of his country; Henri Quatre fell by the hand of an insane fanatic; but it has remained for the nineteenth century, for a period when civilization and Christianity are supposed to exert greater influence than ever before, to produce a cold-blooded and cowardly assassin to strike down a President acknowledged, even by his enemies, to be possessor of the highest virtues, and to have been actuated throughout his public career solely by a single-hearted and unselfish patriotism.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is not my belief that this fearful deed is either indorsed or approved by the people of the south; I believe at home and abroad that they are sincere in ignoring the infamous crime. But the broad fact nevertheless exists, that with the institution of slavery the pistol and bowie-knife have gone hand in hand, and that under its dominion personal revenge has avowedly been permitted to take precedence of established law. As a result of slavery, therefore, we owe this awful deed, and let us thank the Almighty that, as an institution, it has perished forever.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Gentlemen, it is unnecessary for me to pronounce a eulogy upon President Lincoln&amp;mdash;he needs none; there is his record&amp;mdash;the world knows it by heart. His memory will gain new lustre as time rolls on, and history will accord him a niche in the temple of fame second only to that occupied by our immortal Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At the conclusion of Colonel Lawrence&amp;rsquo;s remarks the following resolutions were draughted by a committee appointed for the purpose and adopted unanimously:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The American residents and visitors in Florence, desiring to give expression to their profound horror and grief on account of the atrocious crime by which our beloved country has been deprived of its honored and revered Chief Magistrate, hereby resolve&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That while we see in the assassination of President Lincoln an act of barbarity unparalleled in the annals of crime, yet we are constrained to regard and denounce it as naturally and logically related to the grand conspiracy which has aimed at the overthrow of our republican institutions.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That while we recognize the hand of Providence in this great calamity which has plunged the nation into mourning, we yet feel that the Divine power and goodness will so overrule it as to give stability and prosperity to our people, and to render lastingly triumphant the cause of freedom.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That while we appreciate the great and patriotic work accomplished by our late President, which will secure for him an undying place in history, we believe that his violent death will but lend additional lustre to the noble and manly virtues of this worthy successor of Washington.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That, in common with all loyal Americans at home and abroad, we hereby express our heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved family of the President in this hour of desolating affliction.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That in token of our respect and sorrow we will wear a badge of mourning for thirty days.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was voted that a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to his Excellency the President of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The chairman stated that deputations from various public associations existing in Florence had waited upon him to express their sympathy in the dire calamity which had befallen the United States, and that addresses to the same effect had been received by him from other cities of Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;After a vote of thanks to the chairman for his opening remarks, and for his acceptable manner of presiding, the meeting was dissolved.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;T. BIGELOW LAWRENCE, &lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chairman&lt;/em&gt;,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;B. B. APPLETON, &lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secretary&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

1. To put mourning upon their flag for thirty days.&lt;br /&gt;2. To inscribe the name of Lincoln beside those of Garibaldi and Mazzini in the list of honorary members.&lt;br /&gt;3. To write to the United States consul at Genoa our word of cheer for the brave operatives of the American Union, to whom the illustrious dead belonged by his birth, by the sympathies of his heart, and by the virtues of his life.&#13;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Written expressly for the Young Men of America
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God Save Our Land.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By Jas. Barrett.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;O'Er one hundred years ago
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When George Washington, you know, 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fought so bravely, for to free our glorious land;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let our country be free
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;From all British tyranny,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was the watchword by that heroic little band.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the enemy hard by
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;they prayed to God on high,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mighty was the odds against that patriot band.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But beneath the starry sky
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They waved their flag on high,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And the prayer they utter'd was: God save our land.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Forward; Washington did cry,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We'll gain victory, or die,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the help of God, we'll conquer [illegible] this
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liberty! responds the cry.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Raise our starry flag on high.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;British power shall never rule America.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then the mighty clash of war
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was heard both near and far.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The stars and stripes waved gloriously and grand
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;General Washington did say:
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Freedom for America,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cry Responded then: God Save our land. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Onward, men, never despair,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The good Lord will hear our prayer.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;manly meet each foeman bravely on the field.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ay! we'll battle day and night
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For to gain our nation's right,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the British enemy we'll never yield,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On! brave comrades, came the cry,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On! for the victory or die,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Was the war-cry by that little patriot band.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We'll pull down the rebel rag
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And hoist up our starry flag,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The cry resounded then: God save our land.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Raise the stars and stripes on high 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For that good old flag we'll die,
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We fear not the odds, or dread the battle's [illegible]
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On! for liberty or die!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;we surrender! came the cry,

&lt;h4&gt;The patriotic &lt;span class="searchterm"&gt;Catanese&lt;/span&gt; and youths of the university to the people of the United States of America.&lt;/h4&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;CATANIA, May 5, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;BROTHERS: The fame of your victories rapidly spread through the world, and humanity applauded your virtues in the strife for emancipation; but her exultation was brief, and was cut short by the terrible news of the assassination of Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Nations have aspirations in common; princes and peoples entertain them in common and abide their destiny. Your victories are the victories of the whole people; such also are your disasters, and in like manner your griefs are in common. The most powerful arm lent by the Almighty in aid of the rights of humanity has been cut off, and all thoughts now dwell on that mournful theme. But the wailings poured forth over the grave of the heroic dead are not in vain; such grief strengthens and graces and renews the virtuous purpose. May you, who have enjoyed the vast benefit of the counsels and example of the hero, renew to him your vows consecrated by the blood of millions of martyrs, that the work of emancipation to which he guided you may not remain incomplete.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Wherever man moves on earth, let him be regarded as a brother and tread on free soil; remember that liberty is powerful; give aid to the oppressed in distant lands; listen to the divine idea of Lincoln--free America for Americans!- and humanity, blessing his memory, will also blpss the virtues of her brave and generous sons.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Nations have aspirations in common; princes and peoples entertain them in common and abide their destiny. Your victories are the victories of the whole people; such also are your disasters, and in like manner your griefs are in common. The most powerful arm lent by the Almighty in aid of the rights of humanity has been cut off, and all thoughts now dwell on that mournful theme. But the wailings poured forth over the grave of the heroic dead are not in vain; such grief strengthens and graces and renews the virtuous purpose. May you, who have enjoyed the vast benefit of the counsels and example of the hero, renew to him your vows consecrated by the blood of millions of martyrs, that the work of emancipation to which he guided you may not remain incomplete. Wherever man moves on earth, let him be regarded as a brother and tread on free soil; remember that liberty is powerful; give aid to the oppressed in distant lands; listen to the divine idea of Lincoln&amp;mdash;free America for Americans!&amp;mdash;and humanity, blessing his memory, will also bless the virtues of her brave and generous sons.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Catania&lt;/span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;May&lt;/em&gt; 4, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The democratic society called the Sons of Labor, in Catania, to the heroic nation the United States, in condolence with their grief&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Brothers&lt;/span&gt;: You fought the war of liberty and independence against slavery and tyranny. With the anxiety of those who hope and fear, we waited for the news from your battle fields. The victories your gallant soldiers gained were victories for us, and their dangers seemed to be ours; but the good genius of humanity, as unerring as destiny, will lead you triumphantly on in the path of progress. You were victorious at Richmond, and human rights triumphed with you in your victory there. It was a great advance in the path of right and justice; joy was suppressed in the struggle, for it was terrible, and will be long remembered. But, sad result! Abraham Lincoln, the champion of your rights, the great, victorious citizen, remained the victim of a vile assassin. Cursed be the spirit of evil Brothers, we feel the blow that struck you: accept the greeting of love and consolation the Sons of Labor send you as a solemn tribute of profoundest sorrow. But, brothers of America, now that your country is free, swear, upon the tomb of your deliverer, to rescue your brethren from the bonds of slavery. His memory will be the terrible leader in your battles&amp;mdash;the compact of alliance that binds you close together. His love shall be the example to guide you against those who seek to disunite you. The name of the wicked shall perish from off the face of the earth.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Be united, and extend the hand of pardon to your wayward brothers, and thus you will demonstrate to tyrants that the spirit of revenge is blotted from your hearts.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;I have the honor of informing you that the citizens of Canzo, Province of Como, Lombardy, Italy, wishing to express their veneration and sympathy for the great martyr to the cause of emancipation and the Union, our lamented President, Abraham Lincoln, unanimously passed a resolution to call after his name the new square by the side of the national road in their town. They wished their resolution should reach your Excellency&amp;rsquo;s hands, and intrusted to me the care of fulfilling their desire.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;But your illness, and other difficulties caused me to delay the performance of my duty, and rendered for me impossible to have the honour of a personal interview with you.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I send there herein the resolution of my fellow citizens and the accompanying letter of Mr. Bellarzi to you, and the expression of their deepest admiration for what has been done in this country by Your Excellency in the cause of freedom and amelioration of the oppressed classes of the people.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I would be deeply thankful to you, if Your Excellency would be king enough to send me a little acknowledgement of the enclosed resolution, to forward it to my fellow citizens in Italy, for my justification and their satisfaction.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Please receive my highest feelings of regard,while I feel the honour to be of Your Excellency&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most humble &amp;amp;c.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;ACHILLE MAGNI&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Hon. W. H. Seward, Secretary of State, Washington D. C.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Honourable Sir: I have the honour of informing you that the citizens of Canzo, province of Como, Lombardy, Italy-wishing to express their venerationand sympathy for the great martyr to the cause of Emancipation and Union, out lamented President Abe Lincoln, unanimously passed a resolution to call after his name the Lin. Square by the side of the National Road in their honor.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;They wished their resolution should reach the hands of the President of the S. St. of America, and tasked me care of fulfilling their desire.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;But the illness of the President and many other difficulties caused me to delay the performance of my duty, and redered for me impossible to have the honour of an interview with his Excellency the President.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I send then herein the resolution of my fellow citizens and the accompanying letter of Mr. Bellarzi &amp;amp;c. to your Honour begging you to present the said Resolution et. et. to his Excellency the President A. Johnson.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I would be deeply thankful to you, if your Honour would be king enough to sent me a word of acknowledgment of the encolsed resolution to forward it to my fellow citizens in Italy for my justification and their justification.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Please receive the expression of my highest regard, while I feel the honour to be of your Hr.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

We a committee, desire to transmit to your proud and brave people a word that may avail to express the intense grief experienced here on the announcement of the death of so great a man. We assure you that throughout the nation, as if it were one individual, the human heart could not restrain its grief, and staggered beneath the weight of so great a calamity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln was not yours only&amp;mdash;he was also ours, because he was a brother whose great mind and fearless conscience guided a people to-union, and courageously uprooted slavery.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Brothers, the trial is not ended; the country calls for fresh martyrs&amp;mdash;the last contest&amp;mdash;and on the news of your victory we will rejoice with you, as we now grieve with you.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Italians of Abruzzo to the people of the United States of America:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;From the summits of our mountains, the bulwarks of liberty, from the banks of our rivers and the shores of our seas, a people who wish to be united, free, and independent have long bent their eyes upon events in the great republic whence they expect a new light to radiate upon the world, with a new era of democratic civilization.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Your history is the same as ours. From Camillus and Cincinnatus to Franklin and Washington, from Lincoln and Seward to Garibaldi and Mazzini, the tradition of the great struggle between good and evil, liberty and slavery, civilization and barbarism, national autonomy and the rule of foreign despots, has ever been the same.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The roar of your battles was borne across the ocean and awaked an echo in our Appenines. Your victories were the triumph of humanity. But very soon the electric spark, drawn from the clouds by Franklin, told us that a parricidal hand had taken the life of Abraham Lincoln, when the destinies of his country and partly of the world were trusted to his care, and, at the same time, announced the savage attack upon Mr. Seward and his family.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;A voice of detestation and of horror arose throughout the world; the symbols of liberty were draped in mourning everywhere; anguish filled our hearts; but we rejoice that the cause of humanity cannot perish. The blood of new martyrs fertilizes the earth, and makes it the mother of freedmen.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Abraham Lincoln gave his life to save the integrity of the Union and the grandeur of his country, to rescue the colored man from slavery, to give to all men liberty and equality.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;When peace shall be restored the white and black races will join hands above his grave, and the spirit of liberty, rising from his sepulchre, will renovate the surface of the earth, and make the return of any tyranny impossible.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Hamburg&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;em&gt;May&lt;/em&gt; 2, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of American citizens held this day in Hamburg, it was&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That whereas our Almighty Father has permitted to be removed from us our beloved President, Abraham Lincoln, we afflicted citizens, at this time distant from our country, desire to place on record the overwhelming grief which this sad event inspires. God in his mercy permitted him to live long enough to impress upon us a deep and everlasting affection for his virtues, and in our hearts he can never die. His memory will remain to us, and he will share with the &amp;ldquo;father of our country&amp;rdquo; the honored place of being first in the hearts of his countrymen.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That our chairman, Hon. James R. McDonald, vice-consul of the United States in this city, send a copy of this resolution, with our heartfelt condolence, to Mrs. Lincoln and the Secretary of State.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
