Resolutions passed at a meeting held by the inhabitants of Heckmondwike. At a meeting of the inhabitants of Heckmondwike, held on the 8th May, 1865, at the Freemasons’ Hall, convened in pursuance of public requisition to the chairman of the local board of health, to express sympathy with the American people in the great loss they have sustained at so critical a period of their national history, and to express a hope that the same wise and generous policy which distinguished Mr. Lincoln and his government will also characterize the new President and his advisers; and also to express sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln in her sad and deplorable loss—William Rhodes, esq., in the chair— It was moved by L. H. Frith, esq., seconded by Rev. E. Vickridge, and Unanimously resolved, That this meeting has heard with indignation and horror of the foul murder of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America, at perhaps the most critical period of his career, and at a time when his wise, prudent, and conciliatory conduct was commanding the admiration of the world. That we tender our deep sympathy to a brave people suddenly deprived of their Chief Magistrate, and hope the murderers may speedily be discovered and brought to condign punishment. It was moved by Rev. Mark Howard, seconded by George Burnley, esq., and Unanimously resolved, That we deeply mourn the great and overwhelming affliction which has so suddenly fallen upon the bereaved widow and family of the martyred President Lincoln, and humbly offer to them such condolence as can be derived from sympathizing hearts in the great loss which they and the cause of humanity throughout the world have sustained. It was moved by Benjamin Rhodes, esq., seconded by Mr. Jacob Green, and Unanimously resolved, That we rejoice to hear that the cowardly and murderous attack on the life of the Hon. W. H. Seward (while lying in a helpless condition on a bed of sickness) has not proved fatal. We trust he will soon be enabled to resume the duties of his important office; that President Johnson may retain him to assist in guiding and directing the affairs of his country, helping to meet and overcome every trial; that they may succeed in purging their nation from everything that would blot its future fame, and preserve it in honor and peace with all the world. It was moved by Mr. W. B. Micklethwaite, seconded by Rev. R. Bowman, and Unanimously resolved, That this meeting avails itself of the opportunity of expressing sympathy with President Johnson and his advisers in their present perilous circumstances, and hopes the wise and humane policy which distinguished the noble-minded Lincoln may inspire and influence them; that they may prosecute the work of reconstruction so consistently begun by their illustrious predecessor, until the glorious republic be rendered still more glorious by the total and complete extinction of slavery in every part of their dominions. It was moved by Mr. J. Leadbeater, seconded by Mr. J. Crabtree, and Unanimously resolved, That the chairman be authorized to sign the above resolutions on behalf of this meeting, and forward them to the Hon. C. F. Adams, the American minister in London, for transmission to his Excellency President Johnson, Mrs. Lincoln, and the Hon. W. H. Seward. WILLIAM RHODES,  Chairman.

Moved by Mr. Blagburne, seconded by Mr. Cammell, and carried unanimously— 1. That the workingmen who constitute this meeting have looked with much interest upon the struggle which has been so long pending in America, and they devoutly trust it will issue in the entire overthrow of slavery throughout the American continent. Moved by Mr. Wheaton, seconded by D. Rule, and carried unauimously— 2. That the workingmen now assembled desire to express their regret that persons in this country have spoken and written in justification of the rebellion of the South, especially during the earlier periods of the conflict; but they have observed with much satisfaction, that as the spirit and objects of the contending parties have become more fully understood throughout this country, a different tone has prevailed; and it is hoped the event, now so much deplored, may tend to cement the two nations in bonds of lasting brotherhood. Moved by Mr. Tweddle, seconded by Mr. Wadsworth, and carried unanimously— 3. That the workingmen now assembled wish to express their deep admiration of the manner in which the late President has conducted the affairs of the government of America during the period of his office, but they most of all admire that spirit of wise moderation which he manifested towards the enemies of the Union in periods of especial difficulty and provocation. Moved by Mr. Thomas Rule, seconded by Mr. Smith, and carried unanimously— 4. That the working men now congregated wish to express their utter detestation of the diabolical crime which has deprived a wife of her husband, children of their father, the American commonwealth of its President, and the world of one of its most distinguished benefactors. Moved by Mr. J. B. Anderson, seconded by Mrs. Tweddle, and carried unanimously— 5. That the working men and women who compose this meeting desire to express to Mrs. Lincoln their unfeigned condolence in her present affliction, and to direct her mind to that source of true consolation which her late husband knew so well how to value. Moved by Mr. Townsend, seconded by Mr. Rutherford, and carried unanimously— 6. That this meeting earnestly hopes that should events arise between England and America which appear of a complicated character, a wise forbearance may be manifested on the part of both nations, and differences be settled on the principles of equal justice. Moved by Mr. Mackin, seconded by Mr. Swanson, and carried unanimously— 7. That the resolutions now passed be forwarded by the chairman to the American minister in London, for presentation to the American commonwealth.

The inhabitants of these Norman islands of the channel, the apex of the great Norman Anglo-Saxon social edifice, venture to hope that the fratricidal struggle that has endured in America during a period of four years, and affording on both sides so many proofs of heroism and endurance, may be closed, and, uniting again, peace and prosperity may be restored throughout America; and that the great Norman Anglo-Saxon family in all its branches throughout both hemispheres, all sprung from the same race, may hereafter live in brotherly union and love, contributing to the happiness and welfare of each and all, and giving to the world a bright example of concord, progress, and civilization.

That this court, recognizing the duty of Christian churches to consider those momentous evolutions of Providence which may seriously affect the moral and spiritual welfare of mankind, record an expression of deep sympathy with the people of the United States, under the attempts made on the life of their Secretary of State, and more especially under the loss of their chief ruler, President Lincoln, by a foul assassination, and deplore it as an event which would have been painful and startling under any circumstances, but which is much more distressing from the gravity of the crisis in which it occurred, and from the evidence which the deceased President had given of a firm purpose, in combination with great benignity of temper—the very qualities that seem chiefly requisite to meet the remaining difficulties of the American government in its efforts to restore peace and order and unity throughout its extensive dominions. 2. Although this court never could regard with any feelings but the deepest abhorrence the attempt to rear a government with slavery as its corner-stone, and while due regard must be had to the interests of law and justice, the hope is confidently cherished that the American government will he enabled to signalize the reality of its success in restoring the “Union,” and to give the world some assurance of its own conscious strength, by adherence to the same magnanimous and merciful policy to the vanquished, which Abraham Lincoln would appear to have recommended and inaugurated. In name and by authority of the synod of the Reformed Presbyterian church in Scotland. WILLIAM McLACHLIN, Moderator. JOHN KAY, Clerk of Synod.

At a meeting of native-born Americans, convened at the United States Consulate in Glasgow on the 28th instant, for the purpose of expressing their feelings with respect to the late distressing news from the United States, J. M. Bailey, esq., consul of the United States of America, in the chair, and A. F. Stoddard, secretary, it was unanimously resolved— 1. Whereas we have heard with profound sorrow and indignation of the assassination of our honored Chief Magistrate, Abraham Lincoln, and of the dastardly attempt upon the life of Mr. Seward, Secretary of State, we tender our deep and heartfelt sympathy and grief to our weeping countrymen at home, and would mingle our tears with theirs over the grave of one of nature’s noblest sons, whose loss at this critical and eventful period of our nation’s history is wholly irreparable. We mourn for the fall of one whose every impulse was characterized by pure patriotism and unflinching devotion to the cause of liberty, and who combined in a pre-eminent degree those heavenly attributes, mercy, justice, and truth. 2. That while mourning over the great loss which has befallen our country, we deeply sympathize with Mrs. Lincoln and her afflicted family in the heavy blow which they have so suddenly and so unexpectedly sustained, and trust that the love of a great nation may in some degree compensate for him who has thus been ruthlessly snatched from their side. 3. That while conveying to Mr. Seward and his stricken family our sincere grief and sympathy for the sad calamity which has befallen them, we earnestly pray that their lives may all be spared to their country. 4. That we, in common with humanity the world over, unite in expressing our unmitigated abhorrence and detestation of the vile hearts that conceived this diabolical plot, and the villanous hands that executed the cowardly deeds. 5. That we have confidence in the integrity and ability of Andrew Johnson, the present Chief Magistrate of the United States, and fondly trust that by following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor, he may, under God, speedily see consummated the desire of a nation’s heart; when the United States shall emphatically become the “land of the free,” as she has proven herself on many a sanguinary field “the home of the brave.” 6. That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the chairman and secretary, and forwarded to our minister in London, for transmission to the President of the United States. J. M. BAILEY, Chairman. A. F.

His Excellency Andrew Johnson,  President of the United States of America: Sir: We, the members of the Union and Emancipation Society of Glasgow, desire to express through you to the great nation of which you now are chief our profound sorrow for the loss it has sustained through the cruel and atrocious assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and our utter detestation and abhorrence of the foul deed which has brought this calamity upon your people. We mourn with your nation; for we have long reverenced Abraham Lincoln as a great and good man, discharging the solemn duties intrusted to him, not only with high ability, but with purity of purpose and simplicity of heart, and ever seeking righteous ends through honorable means. Called to power in the direst crisis of your national history, he has proved to the world that high-principled integrity is practical wisdom, and that spirit of simplest nobleness. We would also ask your excellency to convey our sorrowing sympathy to Mrs. Lincoln, and assure her of our prayer that the Everlasting Arm may be outstretched to uplift and give her strength in her terrible bereavement, and the tender mercy of our Father in Heaven minister the peace which passeth understanding. We would further beg your excellency to express to Mr. Seward our indignant horror at the vile blows inflicted on him by an assassin’s hand, and our earnest and hearty hope that he may soon be restored to his accustomed place in the councils of your government. We believe, sir that the universal indignation excited by these crimes which have disgraced humanity will bind even more closely our nation to yours, and that we only utter the feeling of the aroused heart of the mass of our people when we pray that those beneficent purposes of Abraham Lincoln (which, expressed upon the day of his death, are his last legacy to his countrymen) may have their happy and abundant fulfilment in a peace which shall conclude war with mercy, and, while securing freedom for those heretofore held in bondage, shall unite all sections and parties in one nation whose prosperous future will be the best monument to the memory of the great ruler over whose sad grave we mourn with a common sorrow.
