                <text>&lt;p&gt;At Forfar, and within the County Hall there, the 1st day of May, 1865, in the statutory general meeting of the commissioners of supply and justices of the peace of the county of Forfar, of which meeting the right honorable the Earl of Dalhousie, K. T., G. C. B., &amp;amp;c., &amp;amp;c., lord lieutenant of Forfarshire, was chairman.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Before proceeding to the ordinary business of the meeting, the lord lieutenant submitted the following resolution, which was unanimously agreed to:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The justices of the peace and commissioners of supply of the county of Forfar, having read with horror of the tragical event which has recently occurred in the United States of America, by the cold-blooded and cowardly assassination of President Lincoln, desire to express their cordial sympathy with the people and government of the United States in this most grievous calamity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Whatever opinion may be held by individuals of their body, there is not one of them who does not bear a willing tribute to the honesty of purpose and the patriotism of the late President, and his deep sense of the responsibility which lay upon him of maintaining the Constitution of his country unimpaired.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The meeting desire that a copy of this resolution, signed by the lord lieutenant of the county, may be transmitted to his excellency Charles Francis Adams, the United States minister in London.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="salute"&gt;By desire of the meeting:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Sir Alexander Gordon Cumming, of Altyre and Gordonstown, Baronet, acting governor of the county, in the chair.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;On motion of Sir Alexander Gordon Gumming, seconded by Sir George M&amp;rsquo;Pherson Grant, it was&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the commissioners of supply of the county of Elgin, North Britain, assembled at their annual general meeting, desire to take the opportunity of expressing their sympathy with the American nation, and their horror and detestation of the atrocious acts to which the President of the United States of America has fallen a victim, which is rendered the more lamentable by the high integrity and ability of his career, by the important and eventful crisis at which it occurred, and by the consideration and clemency which he had evinced towards the vanquished in the hour of triumph.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved further&lt;/em&gt;, That this resolution, signed by the chairman, be transmitted to his excellency the American ambassador in London, with the view of its being forwarded to the American government.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At the monthly meeting of the Edinburgh Ladies&amp;rsquo; Emancipation Society, held on Thursday, May 4, 1865, the following minute was adopted and recorded:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It is with sentiments of profound grief and indignation that we have received the tidings of the death, by the hand of an assassin, of Abraham Lincoln, the noble President of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We desire to record an expression of our sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln and the American people in the terrible calamity they have sustained. We feel as if a great personal loss had befallen ourselves, for we have long believed that the interests of the slave were safe in the hands of President Lincoln, and had fondly hoped that the cause we have so long had at heart was about to be brought to a triumphant issue by him who has thus suddenly been laid low.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We the more deeply deplore this mysterious event from its occurring at a crisis of the nation&amp;rsquo;s history, when the wise, magnanimous, and merciful policy of President Lincoln was so peculiarly needed to readjust the sorely troubled elements of the republic, and to effect a reconciliation between the north and the south, with freedom for its basis.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We can only Low before this awful dispensation, knowing that the Most High still ruleth in the kingdoms of men, and that He who raised up Abraham Lincoln can raise up other instruments for his work.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We earnestly desire that the just and generous policy initiated by the late President may be pursued by his successor, and that the great republic may be again united in the bonds of peace, the plague spot of slavery (the true secret of its past weakness) forever wiped from its escutcheon.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Then, in connexion with this glorious consummation, the name of Abraham Lincoln will be held in grateful and loving remembrance by generations yet unborn.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;At Edinburgh, the second day of May, in the year eighteen hundred and sixty-five, which day the right honorable the lord provost, magistrates, and council of the city of Edinburgh being in special meeting assembled, on motion of the lord provost, it was unanimously&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this council do record an expression of the sorrow with which they and the entire community of the city of Edinburgh have learned of the assassination of President Lincoln&amp;mdash;an act the foul atrocity of which has excited the horror and indignation of the whole civilized world. That, warmly participating in the feeling of profound sympathy entertained by the people of this country towards the people of the United States of America, under the circumstances of unprecedented trial and difficulty in which they are placed, the council desire very respectfully to offer them the expression of that sympathy, the spontaneity and universality of which the council trust will be accepted by the great people to whom it is addressed as the best evidence of the existence in this country of that feeling of brotherhood which should ever hallow the relations between the two great branches of the same race. That the council also sympathize most deeply with Mrs. Lincoln and the family of the late President and earnestly pray that the terrible event which has caused them so much suffering may, in the hands of Him who in His inscrutable providence often &amp;ldquo;causes the wrath of man to praise Him&amp;rdquo; be so ordered as to facilitate the re-establishment of peace and order in the United States, and to strengthen feelings of amity and good will towards them all over the world.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to his excellency the minister of the United States, with a request that he will take the earliest opportunity of communicating them to his government, and to the widow of the late President.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Meeting of American citizens in Dundee&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of American citizens held at the United States consulate, Dundee, on the 3d of May, 1865, Dr. Smith, consul at Dundee, on being called to the chair, spoke as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The object of our present meeting, as you are aware, is to express our sorrow at the appalling calamity which has befallen our people and nation in the sudden removal, by cowardly assassination, of our excellent and beloved Chief Magistrate, and at a time when that great and good man had, under God, by his fortitude, consistency, prudence, and sagacity, brought the nation safely and triumphantly through one of the most dreadful conflicts ever witnessed upon the earth; also to express our detestation and abhorrence of the conduct of those who devised, and the tools who carried the diabolical purpose into effect, but too successfully, in the case of our beloved President, while we trust the attempt upon the worthy Secretary of State, and his son Frederick, has proved abortive. Another object we have in view is to convey to the bereaved widow and orphans our sentiments of deep sympathy and condolence under the heavy affliction which God, in His inscrutable wisdom, has permitted to befall them; also, to convey to Secretary Seward and his family our sentiments of sorrow and sympathy with them under the great calamity which has befallen them, and to express our earnest desire that they may be restored to health, and their lives be long spared as a blessing to our beloved nation. In the circumstances, it will be also becoming to express our high confidence in the ability and integrity of our present Chief Magistrate, Andrew Johnson, whose antecedents are our guarantee for the future, and our assurance that, by his energetic, judicious, and Christian course, he will live down the vile slanders heaped upon him by the enemies of our great republic.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Mr. Mackenzie having been chosen secretary, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;1. Whereas we have heard with deep and heartfelt sorrow, and at the same time with a just indignation, of the cowardly and brutal assassination of our excellent and illustrious President, Abraham Lincoln, and of the dastardly attempt on the lives of Secretary and Assistant Secretary Seward, &amp;amp;c., we hereby tender to our sorrowing countrymen and fellow-citizens our heartfelt sympathy, and would desire to mingle our tears with theirs over the grave of the best and greatest citizen of our country, whose death at this critical period of our nation&amp;rsquo;s history we feel to be a most fearful calamity. We mourn with them the loss of the sagacious statesman, the true patriot, and the pious Christian, whose name and fame will be a sweet savor in the memory of his countrymen in the ages to come.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;2. That we deeply sympathize with Mrs. Lincoln and her afflicted family in the heavy blow which has so unexpectedly deprived them of the kind husband and the fond and affectionate father, and trust that He who has heretofore by His heavenly grace sustained her in previous trials will continue to support her in this her greatest sorrow; and that the affectionate remembrances of a great nation for him who died a martyr&amp;rsquo;s death for the cause of liberty and justice may prove a solace to her in her widowhood.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;3. That while we deeply sympathize with Mr. Seward and his family in their heavy affliction, we congratulate the nation that the life of him whose wise councils and prudent action have done so much for his country at home and abroad is likely to be yet spared; and we would fervently pray that his invaluable services may long be continued to guide his country in her path of progress and civilization.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;4. That we trust speedy and condign punishment may soon overtake the villanous and cowardly wretches that devised, planned and carried out these nefarious and diabolical deeds, from which universal humanity has recoiled with horror.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;5. That we have perfect confidence in the integrity and ability of our present Chief Magistrate, Andrew Johnson, believing that his antecedents are sufficient guarantee of his energy, wisdom, and prudence in the future, and that under his leadership the nation may soon arrive at a righteous and lasting peace.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;6. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded through our minister, Mr. Adams, signed by the chairman and secretary of this meeting.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;JAS. SMITH, &lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chairman&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;JAMES M. M&amp;rsquo;KENZIE, &lt;em style="font-weight: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secretary&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;div class="tei-postscript"&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The meeting then terminated.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;To his excellency the ambassador to the court of Great Britain for the United States of America&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting of the magistrates, merchants, bankers, manufacturers and other inhabitants of the royal burgh of Dundee, in Scotland, held in the Town Hall, on Tuesday, the 2d day of May, in the year 1865, called by due public notice, the provost of the burgh in the chair, it was moved and resolved, without a dissenting voice, as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the meeting unite in declaring the profound sorrow and indignation with which they have heard the atrocious assassination of President Lincoln, and of the attempted assassination of Mr. Seward and his son; further, they desire to express their sincere respect for Mr. Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s personal character, and in particular their admiration of the forbearance and moderation which he evinced in the hour of success; and they would respectfully express their deep sympathy with the American people and with the afflicted families of the sufferers.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Excerpt from minutes of meeting of the magistrates and town council of Dundee, held on the&lt;/em&gt; 28&lt;em&gt;th day of April&lt;/em&gt;, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;assassination of the president of the united states of north america.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;To his excellency the ambassador to the court of Great Britain for the United States of America:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The provost called the attention of the council to the intelligence recently received of the assassination of the President of the United States of North America, and of the attempt to murder Mr. Seward.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;On the motion of the provost, seconded by Bailie Owen, the council unanimously resolved&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;1. That the provost magistrates and town council have heard of the horrible acts of assassination in the city of Washington with sorrow and indignation, and unite in desiring humbly and respectfully, but in the kindest spirit, to represent to the government of the United States of America, and the whole people, their sincere sympathy, and the sympathy of every class of the people of this town, young and old, rich and poor, in feelings of abhorrence towards the miserable actors and their adherants, wherever and whomsoever they be.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2. When such events happen the good part of human nature asserts its sway. The people of the United States are part of ourselves, shares with us in a common ancestry; cross interests, and chance events, and the evil part of our nature may create temporary estrangement and distrust, but when trouble comes we are all one&amp;mdash;brethren in origin and in progress; and it is in this spirit we seek to approach the people of North America, in sincere affection and good will and sympathy.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;3. That the provost do transmit, in the name of the magistrate and council and whole people of Dundee, and under the seal of the burgh, to the representative of the United States in Britain, through the United States consul in this town, an official declaration of the feelings ofsympathy and love entertained by this large community towards our brethren in North America, in this the hour of their affliction.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;4. That the provost do cause a special communication to be made to his excellency the ambassador of the desire of the council to tender, in the way which the ambassador shall consider to be best suited to the circumstances, to Mrs. Lincoln, the widow of the President, the respectful sympathy of this corporation and community, and their earnest prayer that the Almighty will be pleased to lighten her affliction in the way accordant with His infinite goodness and mercy.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;5. That there be a like communication to Mr. Seward.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Extracted from the records of the magistrates and town council of Dundee.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;[&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;seal&lt;/span&gt;.]&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;CHAS. OWEN, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Town Clerk&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolutions passed at the annual meeting of the Wesleyan ministers and stewards of the Dublin district&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was moved by the Rev. Robinson Scott, D. D., and seconded by John Jameson, esq., steward of the Dublin centenary, Chapel circuit, supported by the Rev. John F. Mathews, ex-secretary of the Irish conference, and passed unanimously:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;1st. &lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That we avail ourselves of this opportunity to express our utmost abhorrence of the atrocious and diabolical assassination of his Excellency Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States, and of the cowardly and wicked attempt upon the life of the honorable William II. Seward, Secretary of State. That we deeply sympathize with the President, Congress, and people of America in the dire calamity by which, in a manner that scandalizes all civilized nations, they have been deprived of the great ability of him who, under God, succeeded in guiding the republic through a period of unprecedented difficulty in such a manner as to secure the admiration of the world.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That we fervently pray not only that peace may be speedily and completely restored, but that the noble aims of the late and present President, and the illustrious statesmen by whom they have been surrounded, may be fully realized in the utter extinction of the last vestige of slavery, without impairing the ability of the country to fulfil her high mission among the nations of the earth.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;And that along with this prayer, we shall offer our fervent supplication on behalf of Mrs. Lincoln and family, who have sustained such sudden and irreparable loss.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2d. Moved by the Rev. Thomas T. N. Hull, seconded by Samuel McComas, esq, steward of the Dublin Abbey street circuit, and supported by the Rev. Gibson McMillen, secretary of the Hibernian Wesleyan Missionary Society, and passed unanimously:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That a copy of the foregoing resolution be engrossed and transmitted, as speedily as possible, to his Excellency the President of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;At the regular monthly meeting of the Grand Lodge of Ireland, held at Freemasons&amp;rsquo; Hall, Dublin, on Thursday, 4th of May, 1865, the following address was unanimously adopted:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The Grand Lodge of Freemasons of Ireland desire to convey to the government of the United States of America the unanimous feeling of execration and horror with which they have learnt the assassination of the late President Lincoln, and they beg to convey to the citizens of that great republic the sentiment of their sincere condolence on this most deplorable occurrence, as well as to the bereaved widow and family of the departed statesman the expression of their heartfelt sympathy for the grevious loss they have sustained.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Sir, Pursuant to a Resolution adopted at a meeting of the Democratic classes of Dublin, held in the Theatre of the Mechanics Institute on last evening-I have the honor to transmit to you copies of the Resolutions adopted at said meeting, and I have to request that you will transmit same to the Department of State at Washington as an expression of sympathy and condolence with the great Nation which you so ably represent.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedt. Servant&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;William M. Stack&lt;br /&gt; Secretary&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p class="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolutions passed at a meeting of the democratic classes of Dublin&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the democratic classes of Dublin, held in the Mechanics&amp;rsquo; Institute on Friday evening, the 28th day of April, 1865, it was, by a large and enthusiastic meeting, unanimously resolved:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;1. That the scheme of assassination concocted by a gang of dastardly conspirators, in the name of the southern cause, and partially carried into execution on the evening of the 14th instant by the treacherous murder of Abraham Lincoln, America&amp;rsquo;s best and greatest President since the days of Washington, excites our horror and indignation, and calls aloud for the execration of mankind.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2. That, while expressing our abhorrence of the foul deed by which the cause of human liberty has lost one of its purest and best defenders, we confidently cherish the belief that the perpetration of a crime so horrible can have no other effect than to hasten the completion of Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s glorious work, the restoration of the Union, the extinction of slavery, and the establishment of a solid and durable peace.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;ISAAC S. VARIAN, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chairman&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;It was moved by John Forster Clapham, esq., seconded by John Henry Backhouse, esq., and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting expresses to the President and people of the United States of America its horror and detestation of the crime by which the late illustrious President Lincoln has been deprived of life; and earnestly prays that this awful event may strengthen their determination to uproot and utterly destroy the slave institution, and to reconstruct and consolidate their union upon the basis of free labor and political liberty.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was moved by Henry Fell Pease, esq., seconded by William Fothergill, esq,and &lt;em&gt;Unanimously resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting respectfully and affectionately offers to the honorable Mrs. Lincoln its profound sympathy under her terrible affliction, and prays God to cover her with the mantle of His love, and to console her by His all-prevailing grace.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting held at the Town Hall, Devizes, on Tuesday, the 9th May, 1865, the mayor in the chair&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was moved by the Rev. S. S. Pugh, seconded by W. Brown, esq., and &lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting takes the earliest convenient opportunity of following the example of the two houses of Parliament, and of the representative council of certain larger towns, in expressing a deep-felt sorrow at the assassination of the President of the United States; regarding it as a crime of astounding magnitude, fraught with manifest evil, not only to the great commonwealth with which we have long held friendly relations, but in all its attendant features, especially in the dastardly mode of its consummation, as quite unparalleled in modern times; and that as Englishmen, possessing an instinctive abhorrence of assassination, our sympathies are in the present case peculiarly called forth by the circumstance that the victim of this pitiless murder was one whose honest boast it was that his origin, language, and blood were British, and whose avowed sentiments as towards this country were cordially pacific.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was moved by R. W. Briggs, esq., LL.D., seconded by S. Wittey, esq., and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That we warmly sympathize with the citizens of the United States, who are thus at a critical juncture deprived of their Chief Magistrate, and in an especial manner with Mrs. Lincoln, and the other members of the late President&amp;rsquo;s family, on the blow that has so suddenly and appallingly fallen upon them.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was moved by the Rev. R. Dawson, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That our abhorrence at the attempted assassination of the American Secretary of State, and his attendants, in all its atrocious and frightful incidents, is scarcely less than at its fellow outrage: the higher rank of the latter in the scale of crime being derived from its combining Treason with foul murder, and that we hereby tender our kindliest sympathies to the honorable Mr. Sward, and the afflicted members of his household.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Moved by Edward Waylen. esq., seconded by the Rev. S S. Pugh. and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That we tender to the citizens of the United States our best wishes for their prosperity and happiness as a nation, sprung from the same stock as ourselves and following the mother country in removing from their midst the dark stain of slavery; while in the enlightened sentiments so promptly and frankly expressed by their present President, Mr. Andrew Johnson, to her Majesty&amp;rsquo;s minister plenipotentiary at Washington, viz: &amp;ldquo;That the friendship of the United States towards Great Britain is enjoined by every consideration of interest and sentiment,&amp;rdquo; we are pleased to recognize a guarantee of that pacific and mutually advantageous relationship which has for so long a period marked the intercourse of the two countries.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was proposed by Mr. Hart, seconded by Mr. H. Knight, and&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the worshipful the mayor be requested to send a copy of the foregoing resolutions to Mr. Adams, to be forwarded to his government and to Mrs. Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting of the inhabitants of Darwen, Lancashire, held on Saturday, April 29, 1865, the following resolutions were passed:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;1. That this meeting desire to express the feelings which they as Englishmen entertain in regard to the assassination of the late Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States of America. They profoundly sympathize with the people of those States in the heavy calamity which has befallen them by his sudden and lamented death, while they view with the utmost horror and detestation the atrocious crime which has so cruelly deprived his family, his country, and the world of his valuable life.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2. That copies of the foregoing resolution be sent to the United States minister in London, with a request that he will convey one to his government at Washington, and one to Mrs. Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;RALPH SHORROCK ASHTON,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Justice of the Peace, Chairman&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Extract from the minutes of a special meeting of the town council of the city of Dunfermline, held May&lt;/em&gt; 4, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Before proceeding to the transaction of the special business for which the present meeting had been called, the provost took this the earliest opportunity of moving the adoption of the following resolutions, expressing condolence and sympathy with the people of the United States of America on the assassination of President Lincoln, viz:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this council do record an unanimous expression of the feelings of profound sorrow and indignation with which they and the whole community of the city of Dunfermline have heard of the foul assassination of President Lincoln of the United States of America, and of the attempted assassination of Mr. Secretary Seward and his son&amp;mdash;acts the atrocity of which is scarcely parallelled in the annals of political crime.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That they sincerely sympathize with the government and people of the United States under this great national calamity, and the peculiar and trying circumstances in winch they have been placed by the untimely and unexpected removal of such an able administration; but they earnestly hope that matters may be so ordered by Divine Providence that peace and tranquillity shall soon be restored to the United States, and that the feelings of brotherhood, amity, and good will which it is the earnest desire of this council should ever subsist between that great country and England may be strengthened.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;Before proceeding to business, Provost Turner moved that this council record an expression of the deep regret and sorrow with which they and the whole inhabitants of the burgh have learned of the death, by assassination, of the President of the United States of America; that, in common with the entire community, the council regard with feelings of horror and indignation the cruel and atrocious deed, and desire to express their participation in the feelings of profound sympathy entertained by the people of this country towards the people of the United States under the painful and trying circumstances in which they are placed.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the council also express their deepest sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln and the family of the late President on account of the severe affliction with which they have been visited.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;This motion was seconded by Bailie Newhigging, and unanimously agreed to, and the clerk was directed to send a copy of these resolutions to the American minister in London.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
