Not orie at pearls from seas of foaming brine,
More brilliant Gro wnod their king of ancient day
nan crownestthou thine from every sparkling ray
Fierce ranger DER the mountain-summit free,
Each shrinking form tremblingly bows to thee
Beneath thy hosry vestments ice and snow,
Which tower exultant o'or worldwide wc.
And monarch on thy cod-engirdled throne,
Thou swayest stern sceptre DER the poor mans home
Hhiverng in rags he stirs the scanty coal;
Labor, or love could cheer and warm that souls

Beside thy household Gods and boarded pelf.
Lend to the Lord one shilling, Not in prayer
Only remember those who need thy care.

ers. Mathew Birchsrd represented the
Trumbull county copperheads.
Subjoined are the resolutions they
adopted, which it ia well enough 10 put
on record for future reference:
l. RssOlvei, That the Democratic party
is now, AS il has ever been, devoted to the
Constitution as transmitted to US by the
trainers of that instrument, and expound-
ed by Jefferson, Madison and jackson,
snd as construed by the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions Of 1898 and 1893,
and as construed in the report thereon in
the Virgins Legislature, and that for the
maintenance of that Constitution and the
preservation of the Union founded under
it, we here. as did the fathers of the Re-
public. pledge life fortune and sacred
honor.
Resolved, That we should hail with de-
light any and every honorable effort TO
ward a restoration of the normal condition
of this Union. to wit: internal peace and
harmony, and fraternal affection between
the several States composing it I; and We
regret that the measures of the present
Administration prevent such desirable re-
suits, and we are therefore unoompromis-
ingly opposed to it's continuance in power.
3. Reso2re9, That we are opposed to the
prosecution of the war for the subiugation

them of their sovereignty, or impauing
their constitutional rights; and being sat
isied that its continued prosecution for
such objects will in the end prove the ut
ter destruction of civil liberty, we there
fore demand the immediate inauguration
of peaceful means to attain an honorable
settlement and the restoration Of the
Union under the Constitution.
4. Resolved, That the mob spirit o
Astounding in our land is the natural and
inevitable result of the violations of the
Constitution and the laws by the party
now in power, and deem this q proper oc-
casion to renew to our people the warn
ings of Washington against lawlessness in
Government and people. The tyranny
OF the present Administration has sown
the seeds from which We are now reaping
Il harvest of crime.
The report of the committee was unan-
imouslyadopted amid enthusiastic cheers.
The Convention then adjourned sne
die, with three cheers for the Union and
the Constitution.
