Yes, fellow citizens, it is time to step forward
and show our decided dsapprobation OF the con-
duct of man, who has for some time past made il
his constant study to deceive both political parties

party has alternately claimed him as her own, and

of these twelve, nine joined the Jackson Caucus

have been turned out OF office i'm consequence of

PASTORAL ADDRESS OF BISHOP MOORE,
On the opening of The late EPISCOPAL CoNvEN-
TroN at Petersburg, IA.
Another year, Brethren, has rcvo.yed over US,
and we are again favored with opportunity of
meeting together in the council OF the Church, TO
deliberate on such measures may, with the
blessing of Heaven, advance the interest of reli-
gion in general, and OF our own community in par
ticular We have received many mercies deserv-
ing our utmost gratitude to the Almighty; and we
have some bereavements TO lament, which should
awaken in our minds the uncertainty ofhuinan life;
and excite TO more unwearied diligence in the
cause OF God our Saviour.
In casting our eye around US, and surveying the
members OF which this Convention is composed,
we look in vain for several individuals, who at
this time the last year constituted part of our
ecclesiastical body, and who had reason to
hope would have been spared to meet with us on
this occasion, and to assist in religious de-
alterations. The venerable Mr. Armstrong, who
at an advanced age came from Wheeling to wit
ness the progress-of the Church, died a few DAYS
after his return home. Though the place at
which we convened distant from his abode
several hundred miles, still the pleasure he expe-
rienced at the Convention was so great, that he
declared prior to his departure from Fredericks-
burg, that the unity OF sentiment which distin-
guished our proceedings, and the vital pety which
marked the discourses he heard, had more than
paid him for all his toll and fatigue. He left us
with renewed desires 10 discharge his duty, and
with the conviction on his mind that God was with
us OF truth. He now rests from his labours, and,
trust is reaping the reward of life devoted TO the
cause of his Rcdeemer.'
In touching the subject of the bereavement
we have experienced in the death of our beloved
Wilmer, 1t Is impossible for me to find language
sufficiently strong TO express that OF his loss
which fills my mind. He of those who
first called my attention 10 this Diocese; and Of the
three cergymen who correspondent with me on
that subject, one only now remains. He, trust,
will be spared TO assist you with his counsel when
my head will be slumbcring in the tomb
10 the usefulness of DIR. Wilmer we must all
subscribe. He OF business and of pie
ty. He loved his God, and the interest OF the
church was near his heart. AS preacher he was
ialthfui, energetic, eloquent. He was the friend
OF evangelical religion, and considered that the
strictest regard to the public order OF the church
was perfectly compatible with the most animated
social worship, in the houses of his Pensioners and
friends. His private meetings formed in his OPT
Mon the nursery of the church; and were blessed
To the ediication and comfort OF his conore CATION

the Apostle Paul, he not only taught his people
publicly, but went from house to house. exhortine
them to prepare to meet their God. His fidelity
in the discharge OF his duty met my warInest an
probation: and if it is your wish, my brethren of
the clergy, TO give account of your steyyartIshp
with JOY, oh let me entreat you all to &c 20 and do
likewise"
Upon the adjournment OF the Convention last
May, visited the county of Culpeper, and adm
ted to the Priesthood the Rev Mr.. Smith upon
which occasion the Rev. Mr.. jackson of Wjnches
ter preached, and MIR. Woodyillc and Mr.. Jackson

muncants. So great was the sensation producsd
on the minds of two young ladies' OH that occasion
that after had LETT the Church, was called back
