Extract from the minutes of the Grand Division of the Order of the Sons of Temperance of the province of Canada, (incorporated by act of provincial Parliament,) at its semi-aunual session, held at Cobourg, Canada West, on the 29th day of June, 1865. Resolved, That this Grand Division has watched with much interest the struggle just brought to a close and successful issue inthe United States, and that although party strife ran high, and the blood of thousands of her noble sons has stained the soil, yet we conceive that one of the mightiest achievements in the world’s history has occurred, namely, the liberty of her slaves. And whilst we rejoice at the general results to this end, we feel that we would fail in our duty did we not express the deepest sorrow and commiseration in the calamitous event and death of President Lincoln, a gentleman in whom we discovered virtues of the highest order, under whose government the most disastrous civil war the world ever witnessed was brought almost to a successful issue, when his valuable life was taken by the hand of an assassin. Therefore, we, this Grand Division, do deeply sympathize with the executive government and people of the United States in their great loss; but more particularly would we sympathize and condole with Mrs. Lincoln and family in their irreparable loss and bereavement. The nation may lament over and deplore the loss of their muchloved President, but the sorrow of Mrs. Lincoln and family under the unhappy occurrence must be such as to demand the condolence of the civilized world. We furthermore record our unanimous detestation of the merciless villain and associates who either directly or indirectly plotted and carried into execution this abominable act of assassination. Resolved furthermore, That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the executive government of the United States at Washington, and to Mrs. Lincoln and family of the lamented President.

Borough of Blackburn, in the county of Lancaster. At a public meeting of the inhabitants of this borough, held in the Town Hall, on Tuesday, the 2d day of May, 1865, the following address was adopted: To Mrs. Lincoln, and family; Mr. Seward, and family; and the American people generally: We, the inhabitants of Blackburn, in public meeting assembled, desire to convey the deep sympathy we feel for the unfortunate position in which you were placed, through the assassination of President Lincoln, and the attack on the life of Mr. Seward. We deeply lament the existence of the civil war which has for four years devastated your country, and stopped your progress in the paths of peace, but in our regret we recognize the future greatness and prosperity of your nation. In all your troubles and afflictions, whether as governors, families or people, we have sympathized. It has been wisely said, that the exigency of a nation demands an able leader and that God, in his providence, always sends the man for the time. We believe that Abraham Lincoln was the man raised up for the special work, and lament his horrible death by the hand of the assassin. We read with pleasure, that in the cabinet council, on the night the assassination took place, the flush of victory in the fall of Richmond, and the surrender of General Lee, did not inspire your lamented President with revengeful feelings, but that his last words were for the reconstruction of the Union on conciliatory principles, in which mercy for his opponents was the leading feature. To the American people we send loving words, and trust that these great afflictions will work out an abundant harvest of liberty, whereby free institutions may be consolidated, and labor, by whomsoever performed, dignified.

This address was adopted at a banquet held to congratulate the American government on the suppression of the slaveholders’ rebellion. Barrhead, Renfrewshire, May 4, 1865. Dear Sir: We cannot express the grief and horror which filled our hearts at the tidings of President Lincoln’s death. But who shall say that a crime less atrocious than the murder of that great and good man, who, in the eyes of the world, stood, by character and position, the most prominent representation and champion, in the history of this or any other age, of the cause of personal and national freedom, would have befitted the death, desperation of southern slavery? In the light of this, its last and culminating sin, which has at length revealed its infamous depths as a treason against all that is sacred to humanity and shocked the world, we bless God for the men and the measures which have swept that accursed institution away for ever. We congratulate your government and people on the suppression of this gigantic rebellion, and the successful assertion of your indissoluble unity as a nation, results fraught with incalculably blissful interest to every other nation, and especially to the sons of toil everywhere throughout the whole earth. And while we would turn with tenderest sympathy to the sad, bereaved ones in your midst, from the home first desolated by this fearful struggle to that of your lamented President, and would seek to mingle our sorrow with theirs, and while we would weep for the innocent sufferers whose natural protectors have fallen in a bad cause, we cannot but hail the dawning of a future for your country infinitely more glorious than its past, and rejoice in it, not for your sake alone but for our own, and for the cause of liberty and labor in all time coming.

At a public meeting of the trading and working classes of Brighton, held at the town hall on Friday evening, the 5th of May, 1865, on the assassination of the President of the United States—J. L. Brigden, esq., mayor, in the chair—it was unanimously resolved as follows: That this meeting regards with feelings of utter abhorrence and indignation the atrocious murder of Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States, by the hand of a ruthless assassin, and desires to express its profound sympathy with those who are our brethren in origin, at the awful calamity which has thus befallen their great nation, and stricken us with amazement and horror; and that this meeting of working men sympathize the more deeply with the untimely death of Abraham Lincoln, as he was the first President elected from the working classes to the high position of ruler of one of the mightiest nations of the globe; that he carried successfully the struggle of free against slave labor, and we confidently hope and believe that his successor, Andrew Johnson, who also sprang from the same class, may complete the work so nobly begun. That the deepest sympathy of this meeting be presented to Mrs. Lincoln on this most calamitous event, which, whilst it has deprived the nation of the United States of its President, has rendered her a sorrowing widow, under circumstances so cruel, lamentable, and distressing. That the address adopted at this meeting, as well as the foregoing resolutions, be presented to his excellency Charles Francis Adams, minister of the United States, by the mayor of Brighton, in conjunction with the members of the borough, who are hereby respectfully requested to join him therein.

Sir: We, members of the Bristol Reform Union, in meeting assembled, believing it to be the duty of all public bodies to put on record an expression of the feelings of horror and indignation excited in every right-minded person by the atrocious murder of a wise, honest, and patriotic President of a great republic, and regarding with equal detestation the cowardly assault on the chief Secretary of State, desire to convey to the President and people of the United States, to the bereaved widow and family of Abraham Lincoln, and to the honorable Mr. Seward and his family, the assurance of our heartfelt sorrow and sincere sympathy in their profound affliction and abhorrence of the treacherous and cold blooded murder of their noble and illustrious President by a ruthless assassin the tool of a foul conspiracy. Associated for the purpose of obtaining political rights for the unenfranchised millions of our own country, we feel the sudden removal of such a man as a loss not only to you, but to ourselves and the world at large. Sprung from the people, and raised by the force of his native genius and industry to be the Chief Magistrate of a great and free people, he has endeared himself to all lovers of liberty by his devotion to the great cause of negro emancipation, and by his earnest desire to confer the blessings of equal rights and privileges on all, without distinction of party, creed, or color. While thus deeply sharing your grief and sorrow that just as the great work he had set himself to was approaching its consummation, his death has turned the hour of triumph into one of mourning, we fervently trust that his successor may adhere to the policy he inaugurated and tread in his footsteps, by tempering justice with mercy, and by advancing those glorious principles of freedom and progress to which he had devoted himself; and we sincerely hope that whatever differences of opinion, imaginary grievances, or animosities may exist on either side, they may not disturb the cordial amity and good feeling which ought to prevail between two nations so like in race, language, and religion, but that the common interests of humanity, the mutual dependence of the two countries, and the sympathy evoked by this sad catastrophe, from all classes of Englishmen, may knit more closely the bonds of Union and brotherhood between England and America.

Ashton-under-Lyne, May 10, 1865. Resolutions passed at a meeting held by the Temperance Society of Ashton-under Lyne. The president, vice-president, officers, and members of the Ashton-under-Lyne Temperance Society, in meeting assembled, have heard with profound grief of the brutal and cowardly assassination of Mr. Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States of America, and hereby record their feelings of horror and detestation at the malignity and treachery of the act which has deprived that great country of its Chief Magistrate, and express their heartfelt sympathy with the people of that country in their time of all-absorbing sorrow. This meeting beg to offer their tribute of reverence for the memory of a great ruler, whose ripened experience and humanity pre-eminently fitted to reconcile the animosities of a divide people and heal the wounds of a distracted nation. This meeting feel all the more earnest in their attachment to Mr. Abraham Lincoln because he had for more than fifty years adopted and carried out those great principles of temperance and total abstinence (from all intoxicating drinks) for which we are contending. That, whether he enjoyed the privacy of home, or sustained the dignities of a palace; that, whether he performed the duties of a citizen, or the more difficult duties of governing a great nation, he had the wisdom to see, and the moral courage to adopt, the great principles of temperance, truth, and progress. This meeting also respectfully offer to Mrs. Lincoln and family their genuine affection and sympathy for their irreparable loss, and trust they may find sweet consolation in witnessing the grand results of the wise, unselfish, and patriotic career of their martyred husband and father.

That as regards the taking of the life of our Chief Magistrate at this critical moment, when all true Americans were trusting that great and good man to bring us out of the troubles which this terrible rebellion has caused, we all execrate the monster who has perpetrated the horrid deed, and thus deprived our country of one we all loved and trusted in. Mr. Blackler proposed the following resolution: Resolved, That the American citizens of our republic resident in Smyrna tender our heartfelt sympathies to Mrs. Lincoln and family in the irreparable loss they have sustained, as well as our country, by the death of our beloved Chief Magistrate. Mr. John Griffitt, United States vice-consul, proposed the following resolution: Resolved, That in this our deep distress we feel consoled in having such a successor to our late lamented chief as Andrew Johnson, one in whom we repose every confidence, and whose long and honorable career in various departments of public life have qualified him in the highest degree to occupy the distinguished position of President of the United States. Rev. Mr. Ladd proposed the following resolution: Resolved, That the secretary of this meeting be appointed to take charge of the foregoing resolutions, and to transmit a copy of them to Mrs. Lincoln, and a copy to the Department of State, at Washington. The above resolutions were severally seconded and unanimously adopted. After other remarks from other members of the meeting, expressive of the great loss sustained by our country, the meeting was closed with religious exercises. F. C. BLACKLER, Secretary.

Smyrna, May 24, 1865. Address of British residents in Smyrna. Sir: The crimes that have been committed upon the persons of the late lamented President of the United States, and of the Secretary of State, the honorable William H. Seward, have excited in us the strongest abhorrence. We would fain add our voice to that of our countrymen in England in giving expression to the feelings to which those deplorable events have given rise. The great principles of morality, which are above all social or political contingencies, have been outraged in the crimes above alluded to, in a manner that makes it incumbent upon every community, however small, to brand with execration the perpetrators of them, and to reject with indignation whatever plea may be put forward in extenuation of them. The many and rare virtues that were combined in the person of President Lincoln, make his loss a great misfortune to the American nation, and demand that we should offer to it, as we do, our utmost sympathy and condolence. We beg, sir, that you will be so good to transmit to your government this expression of our sentiments, and to add our respectful request that Mrs. Lincoln may be informed how deeply we grieve at the calamity that has befallen her. We have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient humble servants, ROBERT WM. CUMBERBATCH, Her Britannic Majesty’s Consul. G. WHITTALL. A. EDWARDS. FRED. LA FONTAINE. J. T. WOOD. WILLIAM B. LEWIG, M.

Beirout, Syria, May 13, 1865. At the call of J. Aug. Johnson, esq., American consul at Beirout, a meeting of the American citizens resident in Syria was held at the consulate this afternoon, at 5 o’clock, to give expression to the sentiments of the local American community with reference to the assassination of President Lincoln. The consul was called to the chair, and the Rev. Philip Berry appointed secretary. The meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Van Dyck. After a statement of facts by the Chair, a committee was appointed, consisting of the Rev Messrs. Van Dyck, H. Jessup, and Post, to draw up suitable resolutions embodying the sense of this meeting, and which are as follows: Whereas in the inscrutable dispensation of Divine Providence our country, in the midst of its rejoicings for victory, has been overtaken by a great national calamity in the assassination of President Lincoln and severe wounding of the Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State, in the attempt to assassinate him: therefore, Resolved, That we do hereby express our detestation of the dastardly and horrible crime which has deprived our nation of its Chief Magistrate, at such a crisis in its history as the present, and our unfeigned grief and humiliation under this sorrowful dispensation. Resolved, That we do hereby unite with our fellow-citizens and countrymen, at home and abroad, in expressing our high appreciation of the character of President Lincoln as a patriot, as a citizen, and as Chief Magistrate of the United States, and that, as a mark of respect for his memory, we wear the usual badge of mourning for forty days. Resolved, That we earnestly pray for the speedy restoration of Mr. Seward to health and strength. Resolved, That J. Aug. Johnson, esq., United States consul for Syria and Palestine, be requested to transmit a copy of these resolutions, signed by the chairman and secretary, to the Department of State at Washington, and another to the family of the deceased President, with whose grief we deeply sympathize.

[Translation.] To the loyal people of the United States of America: At a mass meeting in the city of Zurich, on the 2d of May, 1865, the German residents, Swiss citizens, and others present, resolved unanimously to express to you, the loyal people of the United States, their heartfelt sympathies. We are, above all, animated by the most profound sorrow that your simple-minded yet great, wise, and noble President, just realizing the joyful conviction of the overthrow of the rebellion, has been taken from you by the hand of a fiend in human shape. To him, the reconstructor of the Union, next to George Washington, its founder, immortality is secured. The name of Abraham Lincoln will, in history, be identified with the gigantic four years’ contest which has been fought, not for America alone, but also for Europe and ail mankind. With most renowned valor, energy, and sacrifices cheerfully made, have you, soldiers and leaders, people from the humblest to the highest positions of life, triumphantly upheld your rights and laws, the supremacy of the glorious Constitution of the greatest republic on the globe. May all “chivalry” rebellions everywhere thus be trodden into the dust! But you have done more; you have gloriously vindicated the divine rights of man without distinction of race; you have opened an honorable field to free labor, and given the death-blow to slavery wherever it exists. With enthusiasm we welcome this eventful deed, one of the greatest in the history of the world. The foundation of your republic hastened the outbreak of the French revolution. The rejuvenation of the Union will give strength and speed to the great principle of self-government in its march through the world. We, therefore, offer to you, the loyal citizens of the United States, our warmest expressions of joy, admiration, and gratitude. In conclusion, to you, our beloved countrymen on the other side of the ocean, we express our pride at your vigorous and manly participation in the battles and victories of the Union, and with overflowing hearts we press your brave hands. Loyal citizens of the United States, remain true and steadfast to the cause of liberty and humanity. The star-spangled banner forever! The committee: O. BULLE, President. C. GOEDEL, Secretary. H.

The central committee of the Federal Gymnastic Society, in the name of the young men of Switzerland, join in the many testimonies of sympathy which have been sent to you from Switzerland, for the noble cause you are defending. The news of the horrid crime committed upon the person of your worthy President Abraham Lincoln, the great citizen who did so much for liberty in his country, was painfully received by the sons of free Helvetia; but his task will not remain unfinished, it will be continued by his worthy successor. A great cry of condemnation arose in Europe, and we join it with all our soul, hoping the noble cause you defend will yet triumph over all opposing obstacles. We address ourselves to you, Mr. President, in the name of all the sections of the Federal Gymnastic Society, in expression of the confidence we have in the successor of the noble and virtuous Lincoln.
