A Tribute Of Respect By The Citizens Of Troy To The Memory Of Abraham Lincoln 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from Tribute of Respect by the Citizens of Troy: To the Memory of Abraham Lincoln The tokens of grief and indignation so generally shown, when it was made certain that Abraham Lin coln was dead, gave at once the clearest proof, not only of the deep detestation with which his foul assassination was regarded, but also of the warm esteem in which he, Who for four years had guided the affairs of the nation, was held as a ruler and as aman. In many countries an event of this nature, happening at such a juncture of affairs, would have been followed by an uprising of the people, resulting in scenes of indiscriminate and passionate vengeance. Here, however, a different result was witnessed. In a few instances, men of virulent nature and seemingly lost to human sensibility, who had expressed a modi fied approval of the dreadful deed, received unmistak able warning of the danger of indulging a sentiment so brutal. But the indignation of loyal men found vent, for the most part, in efforts to arrest the nmr derer and his abettors, whoever they might be, and in demands for their condign punishment.
