those from whom this privilege is yet w hheid-
for withheld il is in instances fearfully numerous

among the motives which have assembled US
here. Inanv OF us from distant homes, were the
asfcctinp appeals of this very class OF our p'o-
seribed felow citizens for tse help which pubic
opinion and public sympathy may bring to the'r
relief Shall it he denied and especially snail

the power to grant it, and that for the sake OF
rains uncertain at the bs.t, bat which, II real

In conclusion, we woulb ask o. our fell1v.citl-

II was the remark OF one OF the ablest and pur-

DAYS OF revolutionary peril. and who made bis
home, and recently his grave, among us-the late
venerable Duoonceau, OF Philadelphia-that OF all
we clsimes us charac, eristic, our observance of
me Sabbath is the only one truly national and
american, and for this csuse, if tor no other, ne
trusted it would never lose its hold on our atiec
tons aud patriotism. IL was noble thought, and
may well minge with higher and no5ier motives

And while it is the glory 60 eagerly coveted by
other natians that they may be preemlncnt IN
conouests and extended rule, let us gladly accept
