It prints portions of Edward Everett's long-winded oration and none of Lincoln's. Contemporary criticism mocked Lincoln's short Address; Everett gave a two-hour 13607-word oration. Many papers carried the dedication ceremony. The New York Times included the entirety of Everett and Lincoln's speeches. This New York City paper published by William Cullen Bryant is dated the day after the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg. It prints portions of Everett's comments and notes "The President Secretary Seward and others made brief addresses."<br/> In addition to Everett's speech the paper prints the speech of Henry Ward Beecher regarding his recent visit to Europe and the opinions of England's different classes about the Civil War; news from East Tennessee-- "severe fighting between Burnside's and Longstreet's forces" Burnside falling back upon Knoxville; Rebel Barbarity and Murder of Union Men in East Tennessee with "Several Clergymen Killed in Cold Blood; How to Relieve our Prisoners of War; How to Fill the Regiments; William T.
