&lt;p&gt;That this council, in common with all classes of their fellow-citizens, have heard with horror and indignation of the foul and execrable murder of the President of the United States of America.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this council deeply sympathize with the great American republic under the heavy loss which it has sustained by the unexpected and untimely decease, under such revolting circumstances, of a ruler whose personal excellence and high endowments have rendered him an object of honest pride to his own countrymen, and of just admiration to the rest of the world, and whose earnest endeavor to cultivate and maintain friendly relations with Great Britain must ever endear his name and memory to the people of this country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this council also deeply sympathize with Mrs. Lincoln and family under their heavy bereavement, and earnestly pray that they may be sustained and supported by Him who is &amp;ldquo;the husband of the widow and the father of the fatherless.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;And this council requests that your excellency will kindly forward these their sentiments to your government.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;We, the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of the borough of Dover, in the county of Kent, in council assembled, desire to record our deep regret at the melancholy and untimely end of the late President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln. We regard with horror and detestation the diabolical crime by which his life was sacrificed to the remorseless weapon of a dastardly assassin, at a time, too, when the position of the great republic over which the President ruled seemed especially to require the guiding hand of one who had become thoroughly acquainted with the circumstances of the nation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We have marked with much pleasure the profound wisdom, unwearying assiduity, and temperate zeal which have characterized the career of the late President during his term of office, and through all the trying circumstances in which he has been placed; and we have greatly admired the manner in which he has used the successes of his victorious armies for the advancement of the cause of peace.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We beg, therefore, respectfully to offer our most sincere and earnest sympathy to his bereaved and sorrowing widow, to his family, and to the President government, and people of the United States, under the great calamity which has befallen them.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Given under our corporate seal in our council chamber this 3d day of May, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;In the extremely painful and trying circumstances into which the government and people of the United States have, by such a sudden and unexpected calamity, been brought, we beg, in common with the people of this country, most warmly to tender them our profound sympathy and regard.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We beg also respectfully to request your excellency to accept, on behalf of Mrs. Lincoln and the family of the late lamented President, our heartfelt sympathy for her and them in the midst of their deep sufferings, and to express our earnest prayer that Divine help and consolation may be abundantly granted to them.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;The following resolutions were unanimously pased at the semi-annual meeting of the Grand Division Sons of Temperance of Canada East, on the 6th day of July, 1865:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved, That, whilst rejoicing over the happy termination of the late destructive war, we desire to record our horror and detestation for the assassination of the late President of the United States, and do hereby tender to his bereaved widow and family our profound sympathy in their sorrow.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved, That while we deeply regret the loss of life and treasure occasioned by the late war, we yet rejoice in the conviction that the blood shed and the treasure expended has not been in vain, but, under Providence, has resulted in the overthrow of that sum of all villany, slavery, and the establishment of freedom to a hitherto oppressed race.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Resolved, That we express our earnest hope that the bands of union may be drawn closer than ever, and that, as the result of peace, the blessings of temperance, prosperity, and religion may be universally dififsed throughout the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p style="text-align: right;"&gt;[SEAL]&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: At a public meeting, held in the public hall, Colchester, Essex, England, on Thursday evening, May 4th, 1865, it was&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That this meeting has heard with the profoundest regret the sad and mournful news of the assassination of President Lincoln, a man whose life was of such great value, not only to the American people, but to all free people everywhere, and desires to express its sincerest sympathy and condolence with the government and people of the United States in the distressing bereavement they have sustained, and their deep abhorrence of the diabolical deed by which so precious a life has been sacrificed.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It nevertheless desires to express its firm conviction that the work begun and so nobly carried on by Abraham Lincoln, in connexion with slavery, can lever be undone, and it trusts that you, his successor, will effect the work, both of the extinction of slavery and the reconstruction of the Union.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this meeting desires to express its gratitude to Divine Providence that he attempted assassination of Mr. Seward has not been successful, and hopes that he will be spared to render valuable service in the utter extinction of slavery and the complete reconstruction of the Union.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this meeting desires to express its heartfelt sympathy and condolence with Mrs. Lincoln in the distressing bereavement she has sustained, and also its deep abhorrence of the deed which has so suddenly removed her lamented husband.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="salute"&gt;Signed, on behalf of the meeting, by the chairman,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Congleton, in the county of Chester, held on Wednesday, the 3d day of May, 1865, Benjamin Radley, esq., the mayor of the borough, in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously passed:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;1. That this meeting desires to express its heartfelt sympathy with the government and people of the United States in their present calamity and its abhorrence of the atrocious crimes by which the late President has been deprived of life and the republic has been bereft of a ruler of patriotic integrity and large-hearted beneficence, and by which his principal minister has almost fallen under a dastardly assassin while lying on the bed of sickness; and that it is the earnest desire of the meeting that these cruel and disastrous events may be overruled by Providence for good in drawing together, in stricter accord than ever before, the sympathies and affections of the great Anglo-Saxon race.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2. That this meeting wishes most respectfully to convey to Mrs. Lincoln and her family the deepest sympathy of the inhabitants of this borough in their affliction, which they trust may be in some degree alleviated by the knowledge that it is shared by the princes and peoples of the whole civilized world, and especially by the Queen and people of this kindred nation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;That this council hereby expresses its feelings of extreme sorrow and indignation at the dastardly and cruel assassination of President Lincoln, and desires hereby to show its sympathy with our kindred people, who have been so suddenly deprived of the head of their government, at a time so critical and in a manner so atrocious.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolutions at a meeting held by the inhabitants of Chatham&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a large and influential meeting of the inhabitants of Chatham, held in the lecture hall, on Tuesday, the 16th May, at the close of an earnest and eloquent address by Henry Vincent, esq., of London, &amp;ldquo;On the rise and fall of the slaveholders&amp;rsquo; rebellion against moral obligations and human freedom, to the culminating crime, the murder of honest President Lincoln,&amp;rdquo; Henry Everest, esq., justice of the peace, in the chair, the following resolution was moved by the reverend G. L. Herman, and seconded by S. Steele, esq., justice of the peace, and carried unanimously:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this meeting expresses its affectionate sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln, the American people and their government, under the sad loss they have sustained by the atrocious murder of the late illustrious President Lincoln, but at the same time offers its warm congratulations that the crime of a vile assassin has not arrested the progress of the republic towards a complete and full victory over all its opponents, and it most earnestly rejoices in prospect of the speedy restoration of the Union and in the complete destruction of negro slavery.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="salute"&gt;Signed on behalf of the meeting:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;HENRY EVEREST,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Chairman&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
