We come, Almighty God,
With faith in Thy sure word
That Thou wilt hear
Thy children when they raise
A song of joyful praise
In holy fear.
We praise Thee for the love
Our fathers well did prove,
Long years ago.
They sleep around us now;
We in their places bow,
That love we show.
Thy love has brought us here,
Parted through all the year
We meet once more.
Once more we may rejoice
And with one mighty voice
Our praises pour.
Thy love has taken some
Of those we cherished home,
But still we bring
Praise for their peaceful death;
Their gently parting breath;
Thy love we sing.
Grant that we prove it still;
With loving-kindness fill
Our future lot.
Nor suffer US to stray
While upon earth we stay,
Thy love forgot.

One of the advantages of "being past

The Democratic State Executive Com
mittee in their call for a State Conven-
ton, include in their invitation, "all
liberal minded men, whether Democrats,
Conservatives or Republicans, who de
sire to promote the welfare OF the State,
and vindicate the rights of her citizens,
by appropriate legislation.
We considcr.this invitation cminently
proper, and we can conceive of no obJec-
ton whatever, which can be made, TO an
earnest and hearty compliance with 1t,
by our liberal Republican friends.
1t is well known fact, that in the
last election for members OF the Senate
and House of Delegates, there was a
split in the Republican ranks; large
portion of that party thinking that the
time had come for the burial of all pro
scriptive laws and measures, appealed
to those who were conservative in both
parties, to combine under their leader
ship, and elect such men As were beliey-
ed to favor such policy. We all know
that this was the case in our section OF
the State, especially, in Monroe, Green
brier and Pocahontas, no Democratic
candidates were nominated for the Leg
islature, and so little interest did the
majority of our people take in the
election of Senator, that they allowed
il to 90 by default, believing nthe posi-
t;ve pledges of the Republican candidate,
that he was in favor of all liberal meas
ures. We all know how such pledges
were kept, and with the exception
of one of the members from Monre,
those elected upon the "let up plat
form, were the most malignant and pro-
scriptive of all the members. Pardon
ed rebels" as some of them were, con-
scious of their own disgrace and IN
fanny, they refused the last opportunity
of wiping it out, and refusing TO extend
TO others those rights which honest and
consistent men were willing to grant;
signed their own passports to merited
retirement and obscurity.
We will not be again deceived, and
we now call upon our Liberal Republi-
can friends to rally under oar leadership,
and whilst ignoring for a time minor
differences, to unite with us in our efforts
to bring about those changes which are
vitality necessary to our welfare and
prosperity as State.
