The inquiry might arise, perhaps, in the minds of some who have not duly considered the subject, What Tv^as Abraham Lincoln more than others, that a whole nation should mourn his death ? I answer, simply in himself, in his own person as a citizen of our common country, he was no more than thousands of others ; but in his official capacity he was more than others, and more than others to every inhabitant of the land. Why is the American flag more to us than any other similar product of the loom ...? Not because of the richness of its texture or the costliness of the fabric of which it is made, but because throughout the world it is the chosen emblem of the nation's sovereignty and independence, and at home it is the representative of the nation's authority. To vindicate its hoaor, and to maintain its suprem- acy, whether at home or abroad, every patriot is ready, if need to be, to lay down his life and his fortune. So with him who for the time was chosen to rule over us as our chief magistrate, he represented the majesty of the law and the authority of the nation.
