will, nevertheless, be gathered at Philadel-
phia a stronger and abler Convention than
ever vet met en- American soil.
We presume the Southern delegates will
first organize by themselves, and that those
from the North will do likewise; but q
common feeling, a common purpose, insures
that they will be practically one Conven-
ton, whether formally so or not. And this
will be the first distinctively, avowedly anti
slavery delegated assemblage wherein all
the Southern States will have been repre-
sented. We anticipate from its delibera-
tions results signally benefcent to the coun.
try and its unconditional defenders"

phatic proof of the cordial support yielded

There are three lessons would write
Three words as with a burning PEN
In tracings of eternal light
Upon the hearts of men.
HAVE HoPE Though clouds environ round.
And sladness hides her face in scorn
Put then the shadow from thy brow
No night but has its morn
HAVE FAITH Where'er thy bark is driven
The calm 5 disport, the tempest's mirth-
Know this, God rules the hosts of Heaven,
The inhabitants of earth
HAVE LOVE Not love alone for one;
itut man, as man, thy brother call
And scatter like the cireling SUM-
Thy charities on all.
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Hope, faith, and love-and thou shalt find
strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else vert blind
