                <text>&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Bremen&lt;/span&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;May&lt;/em&gt; 3, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;[Translation.]&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Address of sympathy and condolence of the Brernen House of Burgesses to the United States, on the occasion of the death of President Lincoln&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In consideration of the assassination of President Lincoln, the committee of the House of Burgesses of the free state of Bremen wishes to express its warmest and most cordial sympathy with the United States for the loss of a man who devoted his life to the cause of freedom and equality among all men.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a moment when the deceased President and the people of the United States were hoping to see the end of a terrible war that had been waged for years, with desperate efforts to perpetuate the work of the immortal Washington and his successors, and to restore a lasting peace to the country by conciliation and lenity, the weapon of a ruthless murderer destroyed the man who did not waver in days of the greatest trouble, but humbly bent before the Lord of Hosts, and, always mindful of his high duty, marched before his fellow-countrymen in the path of rectitude, giving them and the world a grand example, to show how a real honest citizen could finally accomplish a difficult and dangerous task by constancy and determination.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;While we earnestly lament the death of such a distinguished man, who had already merited the highest consideration for his civic virtues, understood and appreciated by the citizens of Bremen before all other political corporations, we regret the attack made on his true and consistent friend and helper Mr. Seward, the Secretary of State, and cherish the hope that it may please Divine Providence to preserve that distinguished statesman yet many years to do good to his native land and bless his fellow-countrymen.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The close and friendly relations which have long existed between the United States and the free state of Bremen, the deep interest we take in the success of your affairs, and the just indignation which the bloody deed of assassination has caused among our people of every rank, induce us to hope that the expression of our sympathy and condolence with the people of the United States will be kindly received as a feeble testimonial of our good wishes, to be added to the many honors that have already been paid by many nations to the memory of your lamented President.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;May his successor, by the help of Providence, be enabled to carry out the great plan of peace, the result of distinguished victories, and show the world that a republican government has been saved through all its trials and troubles, and that the helm of the ship of state is placed in strong and skilful hands.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In conclusion, we beg you to act as the interpreter of these our cordial sentiments to your fellow-citizens, and request you to communicate this address to the proper authorities, while we remain your devoted friends of the free state of Bremen.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In the name of and by order of the Bremen House of Burgesses:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;Dr. FRIEDRICK ADOLPH MEYER, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;President&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;Moved by the Rev. Wm. J. McMullen, seconded by the Rev. U. S. Griffen, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That we, the citizens of Woodstock, having heard of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby record our sincere grief and inexpressible horror at the unnatural tragedy by which our neighbors of the American republic have been deprived of a President who has proved himself so well qualified to fill in such a national crisis the distinguished position to which his fellow-countrymen had a second time called him. We deplore his untimely end by a hand so worthless, not only as a great public calamity, falling at a time so critical on a friendly neighboring nation, but also as a heavy blow inflicted on the cause of humauity itself, with which the name of Abraham Lincoln must ever be associated.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by the Rev. D. McDermot, seconded by the Rev. J. Lacy, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the occurrences of Friday last, in the capital of the neighboring republic, by which the Chief Magistrate of the American people met his death at the hands of an assassin, prostrating in the gloom of bitterest despair an exalted family and bowing a nation in tears of deepest grief, evokes our heartfelt commisseration as well for the sorrowing family as the afflicted people. It is, therefore,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the ministers of the various churches in Woodstock be requested to utilize the occasion on Sabbath next by a service special and pertinent to the terrible calamity, and indicative of the abhorrence felt by this community at the commission of an act so revolting to all Christian men, and so subversive of that obedience to constituted authority which is the keystone of individual liberty.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;That this meeting desires to express its detestation and abhorrence of the horrid crime of assassination by which the valuable life of the President of the United States has been sacrificed, and, on behalf of the inhabitants of Wolverhampton, to offer to the government and people of that country, and to the family of the late Chief Magistrate, its heartfelt sympathy in the great calamity that has befallen them.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;City of Waterford, Ireland&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the citizens of Waterford, held at the Town Hall, on Thursday, the 4th instant, to express the sympathy and condolence with the people of America, shared in by all classes of the city of Waterford, the right worshipful John Lawler, mayor, in the chair&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved, una voce&lt;/em&gt;, That we, the citizens of Waterford, feel called upon to unite in the very general expression of indignation and horror at the cowardly and most atrocious assassination of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, and also the similar brutal attack on the life of Mr. Secretary Seward; and we request that our chief magistrate, John Lawler, esq., will forthwith transmit to Mr. President Johnson the expression of these our sentiments, as well as of our deep and sincere sympathy with the people of America for their sufferings under so dreadful a national calamity as this most henious act has given rise to.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved, una voce&lt;/em&gt;, That, although at the risk of intrusion on her intense grief, we cannot allow ourselves to separate without offering to Mrs. Lincoln our deep sympathy and sorrow for the very sad and sudden bereavement which she has endured in the loss of her husband, whom we have recognized to have been so good a man while holding the reins of the American government.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;To attempt on our part to afford consolation would, we feel, be an impossibility; but we most humbly and prayerfully commend her to the care and protection of Him who alone can dispense full and adequate comfort and consolation under the severest circumstances of affliction, whether of a national or a domestic character.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;By order of the mayor:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;GEORGE J. BRISCOE, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Secretary&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this association takes the earliest opportunity of expressing its intense sorrow and deep abhorrence at the assassination of the late President of the United States, the honest and upright Abraham Lincoln, and its heartfelt sympathy with the American people in the peculiarly trying circumstances in which, by this sad event, they have been placed; its ardent desire for their peace and prosperity, and the maintenance of their amicable relations with Britain and all other European States; and its fervent gratitude to God for the prospect of a speedy termination of the war, and the total abolition of slavery throughout their land.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Signed on behalf of the conference:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Mottoes on the Seal:&lt;br /&gt; Altius Tendimus.&lt;br /&gt; Travail et Concorde.&lt;br /&gt; Canadian Institute, founded&lt;br /&gt; in 1844, incorporated in&lt;br /&gt; in 1853.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;To His Excellency the Hon. Andrew Johnson,&lt;br /&gt; President of the United States:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;May it please your Excellency:&lt;br /&gt; It is with sentiments of profound sorrow and indignation that the Canadian Institute has learned the horrible murder which has just spread consternation among the People of the United States, as also the execrable attempt at assassination which has been made on the person of the Honorable Secretary of State.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The premature and tragic death of the eminent man, so universally respected and admired, who was the political chief of the great nation that your excellency is now called upon to govern, is, in the opinion of the Canadian Institute, not only a terrible national calamity, but an event that brings sorrow and mourn- ing upon all true friends of liberty and progress, and upon the enemies of slavery and tyranny throughout the world, and sincere grief to the believers in democratic institutions; who were proud to see one of the most upright and blameless men that ever governed a nation at the head of the finest people on the face of the earth.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The members of the Canadian Institute, in their humble sphere, admired Abraham Lincoln as much for his rare modesty and the self-denial of which he gave so many glorious examples, as they esteemed him for his elevated conception of political and private probity, which even his enemies could not refuse to acknowledge in him.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Slavery had already sacrificed enough victims; and it was truly lamentable thdt the great chief of the nation, who had destroyed the monster, should become its last and most illustrious martyr. It is, indeed, deplorable that this great and renowned patriot, the impersonation of national unity, of fidelity to the Constitution and devotion to duty, should be added to the hecatomb of sacrifices of defenders of the Constitution and the laws, caused by the accursed institution of slavery.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The Canadian Institute, watching with interest the various events in the social or political progress of a people towards civilization, ventures to express to your excellency the great pleasure it feels at the abolition of slavery in the glorious American republic. The consequence of this act will be the blotting out of the only stain upout democratic institutions, which have been so often corrupted, perverted, and turned from their true path by an accursed institution, which was an emphatic denial of all human rights, and a violation of every divine law; and the restoration of peace in the United States, a peace that must endure, since the sole cause of the terrible war that has desolated the great country has disappeared with slavery.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The Canadian Institute rejoices that your excellency escaped the assassin's dagger, and expresses its most sincere wish for the success of your administration; it hopes you may overcome the existing obstacles in the way of a perfect peace and reunion, with the same success that attended your illustrious predecessor, and wishes you may fill the honorable and glorious position in the history of the United States which was promised by your memorable assurances of devotion to the integrity of your country, and to its glorious and admirable Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

D., vicar, in the chair&amp;mdash;it was moved, seconded, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the following address be forwarded to his excellency the American minister at the Court of St. James, viz:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: We, the vicar, church wardens, and vestrymen of the parish of St. Martin in the Fields, desire to express to you the strong feelings of grief and indigdation with which we have heard of the assassination of President Lincoln, and the attempted murder of Mr. Seward.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We are not without hope that it may be some consolation to the American people, and to the widow of the late President, in this their bereavement, to receive the sympathy of the people of this country; and we trust that the dreadful events which have called forth our sympathy will be by Divine Providence so overruled as not in any way to retard the restoration of peace, concord, and prosperity in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
