REv OwEx LorrJoY's PRAYEK.-The Pitts
burg convention was opened by prayer by Rev.
Lovejoy. The prayer has created considerable
talk, and drawn down upon Mr.. L. the condem
nation Of the Nebraskals. Here is the petition
offered:
Almighty and most mercifai God our heaven.
" Father, We approach Thy throne of mercy
through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. We adore
Thee as the Most High that ruleth among the ma
tons Of the earth. Thou dost raise up and cast
down nations and empires as in Thy wisdom and
might it plcaseth Thee best.-We render Thee
thanks for the favor shown to our Pilgrim FAITH
ers, who came TO this country to enjoy the pure
Faith and Freedom to worship God. We thank
Thee that Thou didst watch over and protect
them amidst the exposures and periIs of a newly
settled people. We thank Thee that Thou was
with our Fathers in the struggles Of the Reyo-
luton and didst crown their arms with victory
and success. We thank Thee that Thou didst
by thy wisdom guide those who laid the founda-
tons of Government broad and deep in the priu-
ciples of civil and religious Liberty We thank
Thee for the success which has attended our ex-
perimeut Of selfgovernment, and for the example
of civil and religious freedom, which we have
been permitted to exhibit before the world
We thank Thee for all prosperity and for the
many blessings Thou hast bestowed upon us as
People. From q few scattered bands upon
the Atlantic coast, we have multiplied our num-
bers, and extended our limits till we have be-
come vast empire extending from Ocean to
Ocean. We thank Thee that we are permitted
to meet in Convention to day, to consider the
interests of the Republic. May Thy blessings
rest upon us. May Thy blessings rest upon our
land now and evermore. Remember Lord
our brethren in distant Territory, exposed to
rapine and murder. Save them from violence
and boodshcd; and enable them if driven to ex-
tremity to defend their homes and our common
heritage of Freedom.-Wilt thou remove from
Office the President of these United States, who
has proven recreant and treacherous to the high
trusts committed to his care. And wilt Thou
move upon the hearts of the People to elect one
to fill the Executive Chair; who will administer
the Government in accordance with the great
principles of justice, TRUTH and Freedom which
underlie the Constitution which binds us togeth.
er as a confederacy. To this end may thy bless
ings rest upon US here-Bless and assist the of.
fcers of the Convention; guide us by thy Heav-
emily wisdom in all our deliberations; lead us
to lay down such principles and to adopt sucl.
measures rs are calculated to secure the results
we will desire. Hear US o Lord, in these our
petitions, and graciousy forgive us our sins, and
accept us through Jesus Christ our Redeemer,
Amen.

rec Late Eiecitsa ~ n. =. Directors.
The Gazette Is still harping upon the failure Of
,hs stockholders 10 re-elect Judge Hall. The
Exclamation Of It's course is found in certain con-
.,.e,s for ties, and not any anxiety for the id.
yancement Of the road.
The whole matter Is in q nutshell. Last year,
,,,s MONIES county put Judge Hall in the Board
a Directors Judge Wightman voting the stock,
\ was HE duty, and this year the same gentle
man has been put out by the same stock, repre-
.en,ed BY Judge Newman. No political or per
anal considerations governed or influenced the
,o,e. cast. Mr. Newman in his representative
e.pecity, as county Judge, was altogether, the
most proper person to represent Des Moines
County, and look after the largeiaterest we have
In this important enterprise. Judge Hall him
..f 40 remarked and decided before the election
,ook pace--all the private stockholders in this
and mos, Of those on the line ofthe road, voted
for Mr.. Newman, in his character Of County
Judge. He is responsible to The people for his
.c,,. and il he follows their interest as faithfully
md AZ resolutcly as in this instance, he will be
,ks;r 10 have long lease of Office.
The election Of Judge Hall was felt last year,
nv even his personal friends, to be detrimental
10 the enterprise. He was a dead weight upon
the Board Of Directors and an incubus upon
tbt road. Every body knew and acknowledged
Il bcreabosts without distinction Of party"
when he was elected President His own party
friends we're Just as anxious to get rid Of him as
any body else, but had not the nerve to do it,
We say this unwillingly. But the imprudent and
unfair course of the Gazette forces US to it,
We have not the smallest cause of quarrel with
Judge Hall, and would not willingly hurt his
feelings. He is no doubt gentleman of all the
the ability which the Gazette has given him.
But his legal lore, his business training and the
tenor Of his life has not been such as to fit him
for the post of President of this or any other
Railroad Company. The gentleman should con-
fne himselfto his briefs. 1t is not talents so
much as good practical, every day sound horse
sense, and business capacity and influence among
business men that is needed. Parson johnson
would build Railroad to the Pacific before
Judge Hall would on his own resources, con-
stract one to Skunk river. God has undoubtedly
created everything for some wise and useful
purpose, and every man has his place. But
Judge Halls mission never lay in this direction.

The MARRIAGE MARKET IN IRKLANp.-The
west of Ireland seems TO be enjoying an un-
wonted season of prosperity, if we may judge
by what is regarded as the most infallibie of
signs the state Of the marriage market. The
Balina Herald mentions, among the many signs
of returning Irish prosperity, as not the least
significant, the unprecedentedly great number
Of marriages which are taking place to the com
mencement of Lent and the temporary close Of
the wedlock season: Our rural population seem
one and all to have resolved against single bles-
sedness, and, induced by the unwonted success
Of their las, years agricultural pursuits, deter
mined on yenturing out on the uncertain sea Of
mat.imony. Weheard of no less than twelve
marriages taking place in one day in q neaghbor-
ing parish, performed by one clergyman, and
the reports from other districts are not less sat
isfactory' This extraordinary rise in the mar
riage market win of course fayorably affect the
incomes of the Roman Catholic clergy, and thus
all classes are in good demand.
