But it was not possible long to doubt. It is verified beyond any reasonable doubt, that on the night of the 14 th of April — a day of all others most deeply stained by secret conspiracy a- gainst our national life — President Lincoln received a mortal wound from an assassin, from the effects of which he is believ- ed to have died the next day. It is at least certain that the wound received was such, that only direct divine interposition could prevent its mortal effect. A similar attempt was mad...e upon the life of Secretary Seward, who was at that time confi- ned to his bed by sickness. Though severely wounded, it is ho- ped that none of his wounds will prove mortal, and that the nation will be spared this double bereavement. This is the news that is deeply stirring every American heart, and has drawn us together to day. What is its meaning ? What are the lessons God would reach us. By means of this great calamity? We know that no- thing happens in vain in the course of His providence.
