MOST ILLUSTRIOUS BROTHERS: The holy cause of liberty has one martyr more. The secular work of emancipation of the human race began the day when tyranny took the place of fraternity between the strong and the weak; was continued in the Parthenon and on Calvary; then by reform and revolution has finally gained a new victory in the United States, where again the blood of the just has been shed. It is one of the laws of human development that no change can be effected in the social or political order without terrible convulsions, and at the sacrifice of the most precious lives. A victim of his devotion to the eternal principles of justice and truth, the very illustrious brother, Abraham Lincoln, has given his life for the love of his country and his fellow-creatures, thus setting the most noble example a masonic brother can give to his brethren---transiit benefiaciendo! The horrid crime that felled him in the hour of victory has carried pain and consternation into every heart. Let us mourn! Free masonry has suffered an irreparable loss. Let us mourn! For persecuted virtue only triumphs after long and frightful struggles, and after most cruel sacrifices. But let us hope that the blood of Abraham Lincoln has not been shed in vain. The redeemer of the black race will hereafter be numbered among the benefactors of the human race. Brothers, you will complete the work of the great and generous citizen, whose name will shine in history by the side of that of Washington; the founder and restorer of the American Union will go down to posterity together. Courage, brothers, courage! Slavery of the body is conquered ; but slavery of the soul, the worst kind of servitude, yet remains. Let us face it boldly; we in the old continent, you in the new. Let us struggle to destroy the ignorance and prejudices that yet enslave the human mind. Our zeal in effecting the complete emancipation of the human race is the greatest and most worthy homage we can render to the memory of the eminent man whose premature and tragic end is now deplored by all free masonry. Brethren of the Grand Lodge of New York, receive the sincere expression of our ardent sympathy. Let our hearts form a chain of union. Fraternity knows no distance; let us stretch our hands across the Atlantic. Our thought is in you, as yours is in us. Your devoted brothers of the United Benefactors. Honorary Venerable, LECAILLIER.

FOGGIA, May 8, 1865. BROTHERS OF AMERICA: We comprehend the sorrow that afflicts you in the triumphant hour of your humane cause. When Abraham Lincoln, your glorious helmsman of liberty, was struck down by the cruel hand of a vile assassin your generous souls were filled with mourning. The sad news reaches us in Italy like the messenger of a day fatal to the destinies of a people, and every true Italian heart was saddened by its coming. Even in the humble families of the working men of Foggia the deepest grief was felt, and a shrill cry arose for the extermination of the vampires of humanity. Brothers: be consoled by the thought that Abraham Lincoln, in the greatest trials, showed himself something more than the President of a transatlantic republic, and that the assassin's pistol was only the instrument of the dealers in human flesh. Lincoln's tomb with you, and Garibaldi's misfortunes with us, will be known in history as the irrevocable decrees of reason against barbarism and tyranny; but you will let future ages know the good intentions of the two illustrious victims. Be brave, then, brothers of America, in your desolation, and defend the sepulchre where the secret of the emancipation of all the slaves in the world lies buried. FERDINAND CIPRO, President.

We, by birth sons of another free republic, cannot refrain from giving expression of sympathy for your great loss, being ourselves brought up under free principles, and owe it to ourselves and to the republic of which we are citizens to declare our abhorrence of the crime which has deprived humanity of one of its greatest ornaments. To Mrs. Lincoln and family we offer the respectful condolence of our sympathy with the sufferings which it is some consolation to know are in a degree shared by the world at large, but which are assuaged by the consideration that Mr. Lincoln’s work and best efforts had already gained the approval and admiration of every free and enlightened people.

Committee Rooms, 106 King Street,  Sydney, July 22, 1865. New South Wales branch of the Irish National League. To the honorable the President, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America: The members of the New South Wales branch of the Irish National League have instructed us, their central committee, to condole with you (the Congress of America) on the calamity that has befallen your nation, and to convey to you their heartfelt sorrow and sympathy for the loss which, in common with the cause of freedom throughout the world, you have sustained by the foul murder by the hand of an assassin of that great, energetic, untiring, and devoted champion of freedom, Abraham Lincoln. We, as inhabitants of New South Wales, are actuated to this expression of sorrow for America’s great loss by the feeling, among others, that as possessors of free institutions we were greatly benefited by the talent, energy, and Christian virtues displayed by one in the proud position of President of the greates republic of modern times. In the high and responsible position in which he was placed, his powers were great for the accomplishment of good or evil, and how those powers were used is manifest to the world. By the efforts of the great mind with which he was endowed, he overcame obstacles which to the most experienced statesmen in Europe seemed insurmountable; he suppressed a rebellion, more formidable than the annals of any other country can record; united and brought into amicable intercourse many who were previously actuated in their opposition by the influence of party spirit or sectarian prejudices, and by his powerful abilities he brought his country safe and triumphant from that terrible ordeal through which she has been passing for the last four years. The members of the Irish National League are also actuated in this far-off land of Australia by gratitude, which is a national characteristic, to express their feelings on the present occasion; they cannot and do not forget that when a code of the most ill-conceived laws deprived them of freedom and prosperity at home, and even seemed to threaten the total extirpation of their race; when unable to meet their landlord’s call, they were expelled from the homes in which they were born; when they appeared deserted by the world, and nothing seemed to remain but death from cold and starvation by the wayside, it was then that America, noble America, with outstretched arms welcomed them to her shores and bestowed upon them her fertile plains and teeming valleys, where now, beside the grand and majestic rivers that beautify and fertilize your country, they reside in freedom and happiness, with honor and credit to themselves, a lasting memorial of the benefits to be derived from that Constitution and that country whose laws they acknowledge and respect. For these among other reasons we desire to express our warmest sympathy with America, and to pay a tribute of respect and admiration to the memory of the great departed. In conclusion, we beg to express a hope that the united exertions of America’s patriotic sons will secure her peace and happiness, and that the mighty republic of the west, the great home of freedom, the United States of America, may continue to retain her exalted position of one of the great and free nations of the world.

[Translation.] Lyons, France, May 30, 1865. Citizen President: The republicans of Lyons were profoundly moved on hearing the news of the crime committed upon your illustrious predecessor, and a fraternal feeling inspires them with the sacred duty of sending their sad regrets to the free country of which you have the honor of being the Chief Magistrate. We have witnessed all the phases of the gigantic struggle sustained with so much energy by the much lamented Abraham Lincoln. We participated in all the emotions of republicans faithful to the Union, and we meet them with our sympathies. Our city, by its manufactures, is more closely united to the republic of the United States than any other in France, and in our feelings for your losses we have still closer ties. The war has injured us by paralyzing our industry; but like you, we preferred conquest to compromise, because it insured the true principles of universal freedom. We wish these expressions of our sympathy to be communicated to your Congress, and desire them to be made known to all the citizens of America who have been so brave in their duty, so invincible in their liberty. Let them know that in France they have brothers who appreciate their patriotic efforts, and like them love liberty, and understand the power of institutions that resist assassinations and oppose conspiraces. Honor to Mr. Lincoln! eternal regrets to his venerated memory; and may his glorious name become the pledge of alliance between the American republic and the democracy of Europe.

[Translation] The Lodge of St. John of Jerusalem to the Grand Lodge of New York. Excellent and Illustrious Brothers: At the sound of the sad news that has filled the world, the hearts of all French masons were filled with grief. They shed tears of sympathy for the glorious death of one who had handled the hammer, square, and compass, the living insignia of our immortal society, and then arose to the head of the American people by his genius, his virtues, and his spotless life. The holiest causes have always had their martyrs, as a necessary kind of consecration; and Abraham Lincoln is one of these, the noblest victim of his duty. This lodge mingles its regrets with the other lodges of French free masonry. It does not forget that if all people are brothers, those of France and America are more so than any others; and we hope this will give supreme consolation to the soul of Abraham Lincoln. No, a villain’s crime cannot destroy the immortal work of the great citizen. A final peace and the abolishment of slavery—the just fruits of his glorious acts, a worthy recompense of his martyrdom—will show the world once more what the devotion of a noble heart can do against the fanaticism of ignorance.

[Translation.] Homage rendered to the remains of Mr. Lincoln by Harmony Lodge. To their brethren in America: Lincoln is dead! The body of the victim of a mad assassin has disappeared from the surface of the earth, but his spirit is immortal. This spirit soars above the tomb where rest the mortal remains of one who was— <blockquote> —“a man, a ruler, and a sage;A truly worthy model of the age.” </blockquote> While angry discussions are disturbing a continent, a simple, unknown man, who earns his daily bread by the honest labor of his hands, is studying to improve his mind in the silent hours while others are reposing; suddenly he springs into light, and Lincoln is raised to the supreme rank. He owns the virtues of a philosopher; the love of humanity is his strength; his sharpest weapon is persuasion. A love for his country was a crown for which he gave his life, which he offered as a sacrifice to his people. Now wondering Europe knows his name. Low jesters deride him no more; pride-corrupted individuals taunt him no more with poverty; infamous enemies of progress bend before the Titan, to whom nature gave the figure of a giant, and God the spirit of a hero, who became the regenerator of his people. His blood spilt in America by the base assassin’s hand will fertilize the continent of Europe. The assassin was the representative of the enemies of progress. Lincoln’s name is now defended by all nations, and the example of his virtues is sealed by his blood upon the frontispiece of the temple of nations. Venerable, LE HALLE. ARMENAULT. LEBORGNE.  And many others. <div class="tei-postscript"> By the unanimous authority of Harmony Lodge.

[Translation.] Scotch Lodge, No. 146, the Right Line,  Paris, May 13, 1865. Citizen President: The crime by which Abraham Lincoln has perished deprives humanity of a glorious example, the United States of an eminent magistrate, and masonry of a brother. The fratricidal war which has made thousands of victims, was deplored by the entire world with indignation; the murder of one man strikes the moral universe with stupor, but it is a sign that illuminates the abyss. Religious sentiments, social and political principles, unite in producing a deep emotion in every human heart; it is at first a feeling of grief, but becomes by time and reflection a source of great instruction. Glory to the man whose death joins religions, nations, and individuals in one common mourning. Glory to the nation whose trials are admired by the universe, whose destiny is beyond the reach of human passions. Citizen President, you have united the national strength in one patriotic bond. All good men, all upright souls are with you. The United States are aiding you, and the universe is looking on. GAUTRIN, Venerable. Dr. HENRY RUELLE. G. RAMIER. By order of the Secretary: MENOT.

[Translation] Lodge of St. Augustus, the Beneficent, to the Grand Lodge of New York. In a solemn session on the 21st of April last, our lodge expressed its sympathies for the United States. It decreed to wear mourning for three months in Mr. Lincoln’s memory, and to send funds to purchase tools and clothing for the colored freedmen, We have always been for your cause, dear brethren, because it is that of humanity. The curse of excommunication is now taken from the blacks. Lincoln has followed Washington. No threatening cloud now hangs over that glorious country, justly called the Republic of the United States. Its coat of arms has now no bar sinister to disfigure it. We mourn over the heroic victim of the struggle that has ended so gloriously. Mothers are shedding their last tears; entire families are ruined; widows are deranged with grief; orphans seek with hagard eyes those whom they called their parents; all are mourning. Terrible hate has separated provinces, families, and citizens. Men who used to give their hands turned to take each other’s hearts, and hundreds of thousands of their pale bodies repose under the earth that has been fecundated with their generous blood. Let us mourn. This dividing gulf has at last been filled up by the body of a great man. Alas! you had to make the greatest sacrifice. Abraham Lincoln was struck by a madman; a master-piece of nature has been destroyed by a horrid being, the vilest piece of nature’s work. Your sublime cause has had the sublimest martyr. Let us lament him. But he who came into the world, like Jesus of Bethlehem, to take away its sins, has not given his life in vain for the good of his countrymen. Slavery is dead, as well as Lincoln, and is now reposing in its final tomb. With its mortal memory human dignity is raised to immortality. The ancient institution may leave its traces here and there in savage lands, but slavery will soon disappear from the face of the earth, and the spirit of the great martyr will aid in its destruction. And you dear brothers, will imitate the example of the model man, that has been left for the good of the world. His head and heart were perfect. First: the son of a laboring man, he was an apprentice; then he became a journeyman, and last a master, thus realizing our masonic symbols. He learned, he loved, he worked, he suffered, he persevered. Glory be to his memory forever! In the work of emancipation, his intelligence has been shown in traits of fire his heart is protected by the halo of martyrdom. One can do good by imitating Lincoln, and more good by circulating his biography, which is a second gospel. It began in America, and will spread abroad in the world. Accept, dear brethren, the expression of our most fraternal sentiments. Venerable, DELABY. 1st Warden, JACQUIN. 2d Warden, BEAUGRAND. JOBLOT, Keeper of the Seals. A. CARETTE, Orator. L.

[Translation.] Paris, May 9, 1865. Copy of an extract of the proceedings of a conference of the pastors, ministers and elders of the national churches of France. The pastors, ministers and elders of the two national churches of France,(Reformed Church and Church of the Confession of Augsburg,) united in conference on the occasion of the annual religious meeting, and justly moved at the catastrophe which has taken away from the United States their pious and wise President, experience the need of expressing to their brethren of the United States their profound horror at the assassination of their glorious President, and at the attempt on the life of his eminent minister, Mr. Seward, and their hopes that the great citizen who presided over the destinies of America may have, in his successor, a worthy follower of his generous and Christian enterprise. This expression of their sincere sympathy will be presented to his excellency the minister of the United States at Paris by the president, the vice-president, and the secretaries of the conference. Paris, April, 27, 1865. A true copy: H. BLAWE,  One of the Secretaries. <div class="tei-postscript"> His Excellency the Minister of the United States of America. </div> [Translation.] Paris, April 27, 1865. Letter addressed to madam, the widow of the late President of the United States, and sent to the care of the United States Minister at Paris. Madam: We learn with stupor the horrible crime which has plunged in mourning your family arid all the people of the United States, and which has changed rudely into lamentations the song of triumph and thanksgivings. The name of Abraham Lincoln embodied, in our estimation, one of the greatest causes with which heart can be inspired, and it is just at the moment when that cause is crowned with victory, after a cruel struggle, that he to whom the triumph is mainly due, perishes, the victim of an unaccountable fanaticism. Only this was wanting to complete the horrors of slavery, the consecration of victory, and the glory of the defender of liberty. Madam, we do not seek to console you with the idea of the glory henceforth attached to the name of your husband, whom future ages will rank, as we do now, among the benefactors of the human race. But directing your attention, as well as our own, to something higher, let us adore the mysterious will of God who has deigned to make of Abraham Lincoln one of those powerful workers that he employs in the accomplishment of his designs, and who has allowed him to be taken away from this world after the gloom and labor of the combat. We associate ourselves from the bottom of the heart in your grief, which is not only a national mourning but extends throughout humanity. We pray God to console you as He alone can do, and show you, by faith, him whom we mourn in that eternal glory of the kingdom of Heaven, where God gathers all his children, illustrious or obscure, around Jesus Christ, who gave his life to save the world. We pray that the indignation excited by the horrible act may not change the thoughts of charity which ought to crown the work of emancipation. May God now finish that work, and confer his benedictions on the people of the United States, who have been so cruelly tried, and on you, madam, whose grief we share, and on the many thousand souls who have each borne their tribute of suffering in this violent intestine commotion of the country. In the name of the conference of pastors, ministers of the Holy Evangel, and the members of the consistories of the two national churches of France, (Re-formed Church and Church of the Confession of Augsburg.)

[Translation.] Paris, June 9, 1865. Sir: I was struck with horror when I heard the news of Mr. Lincoln’s death. The illustrious genius and worthy magistrate did not live to enjoy the glory of his great deeds. The abominable crime of his death ought to be avenged. Justice will be done, but unfortunately the most guilty will not receive it; but they will wither like the weeds in barren fields. His memory will be venerated by all nations living; and generations to be born will yield him homage. Bash assassins have spilled a precious blood; but it will cry aloud from earth for vengeance, and its voice will be heard afar. Horrid slavery is no more. Europe rejoices at it; let the world rejoice. A new order of events will rise, and men will be blessed whose hopes had almost vanished. The black has a right to enjoy liberty as well as life; and now he has it in America. May the successor of the deceased be worthy of his place, and finish the labor to be done; then the world will chant a chorus of gloria in excelsis, in populo supremo. Amen. Accept the expression of my highest consideration.

[Translation.] Paris, May 25, 1865. Gentlemen: There are names which explain the condition of a country, and Mr. Lincoln’s is one of them. The illustrious citizen who protested against slavery and assassination has fallen a victim to fanaticism. In dedicating this day a sprig of anemone to the memory of your glorious martyr, thus joining in the prayers of thousands, be assured that my heart also protests against assassination, whatever may be its motive, and particularly against that of which you yourselves, together with your friends, came near being the victims. Mr. Lincoln placed entire confidence in you, gentlemen, and you may believe that a poor French workingman feels intense satisfaction in your speedy recovery, because he sees in it a determination on your part to finish the task begun by President Lincoln, and to attend more devotedly to the cause of the slaves liberated by your blood and his. May peace hereafter preside over your noble efforts. J. C. LUSINE,   No. 26, Bernard street, Paris. UN RAMEAU D’IMMORTELLE. Lincoln, grand citoyen, fils de la liberté, Intègre magistrat, vertu digne d’Homère; Toi qui n’oublias point ton bereeau ni ta mère, Gloire de l’Amérique et de l’humanité! Ton devoir est rempli: Ton ombre avec fierté Voir l’esclavage en vain quêter un victimaire, II n’a pris que ton corps; le crime est éphémère... Ton &oelig;uvre à toi s’envole à I’immortalité! Aussi, comme une femme au fruit de ses entrailles, Le Sud au Nord uni pleure à tes funérailles: Ton sang dicte la paix au peuple fier géant! Reçois done, ô martyr de la liberté sainte, Des travailleurs Français dans le deuil et la plainte: Un rameau d’immortelle à travers l’océan! J. C.

Most Illustrious Excellency: I have the honor of sending you a copy of my letter to Mrs. Lincoln and the illustrious nation whose destinies are intrusted to your hands. You will see in it the faithful expression of my sentiments for the great statesman Abraham Lincoln. You will find, at the same time, an antidote to the plague which threatens America by the crime of Dr. Blackburn. I do not doubt but the papers will make known this remedy by publication, and thus snatch from certain death thousands of victims, if the dreadful plague should break out. May God give you the light to lead the great nation of the United States to its highest destiny, is my most cordial wish for you, whom Providence has called to the eminent post of President. Deign to accept the humble homage of the distinguished sentiments with which I have the honor to be your excellency’s very humble and most obedient servant, J. H.
