The gar- ments of the dead Ca?sar were more powerful than his brandished sword. The rude rents of the dag- gers aroused and cemented dissevered Roman millions, and it may prove that God wishes once again to arouse and bind together discord- ant American hearts, by placing before them the lifeless body of the highest officer of state.

In tho hour of his greatest d...evotion to these principles, and while the eyes of millions are turned toward himself, he falls dead in the very forum of lib- erty, that the garments of the slain Ctesar may transcend the eloquence of life. To the voice of martyred soldiers who have fallen like the leaves of Autumn, there is added now the voice of the murdered President, as if God were now asking in such mournful manner whether they will not at last consent to love their laud so memorable for its bloody sacrifice. And it is more than possible that on last Fri- day there yet remained in this land tens of thou- sands in the loyal states who had not yet beeu 10 the spirit of the great rebellion, thousands, who, from predjudice could not, thousands, who, from past professions, durst not confess its wickedness and cruelty, thousands who have apologized for, and even admired the leaders of this revolt; before all which thousands an overruling Providence places this day, the whitened face of our President, asking them if noAv they can discover anything in the rebellion besides honor ?
