In the election which made Mr. Lincoln president, the Bell-Everett ticket received thirty-nine votes, all of them from slave States. During the course of the slaveholders' rebellion Edward Everett's impassioned eloquence was heard in no uncertain tones in behalf of his beloved country. One of his greatest efforts was his speech at the dedication of the National Cemetery at Gettysburg. In November, 1864, his name headed the list of Republican electors chosen by Massachu- setts to cast the vote o...f the State for Mr. Lincoln's reelection. This was the last public office which he filled. On the 9th of January, 1865, he addressed a public gathering at Faneuil Hall, Boston, in aid of the suffering people of Savannah, Ga. On coming from the heated hall, he contracted a violent cold which resulted in his death only six days later, January 15th. His funeral which was attended by the city and State governments, and by the militia of the Commonwealth, was the most imposing demonstration of the kind seen in Boston since that of Daniel Webster, thirteen years pre- viously.
