FAREWELL ADDRESS OF THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.

To tie Members Of the UMion Rcforn,
PnWy. The time has arrived when it be
comes proper to announce to you the termi.
nation Of the labors and responsibilities Of
your Executive Committee at an early day.
and the dissolution Of the party as an orsan-
zalion under tho convention of June last.
Had the party been successful, or even so
far supported by the co.ored people as to
furnish any reasonable ground of hope that
we might succeed in the next general election,
it would have been cminentIy wise and proper
to have held together, to labor with renewed
energy and faith for the redemption of the
State by the same means whereby we had
achieved such encouraging results. But we
cannot disguise the fact that though the ma.
jority against US returned by tho officers
elections is probably fraudulent to the extent
OF moro than 10000 votes. yet enough re-
mains to demonstrate that all our efforts have
failed to conciliato the colorcd voters to any
hopeful extent. Nay, it is even evident that
as II people they are more cmbittered against
the white rucc than after the Democratic
campaign of 1868, and very much more 80
than at the beginning of the lato canvass.
Hence there would be no propricty in cont:n-
uing efforts which have been so perverted
rather to ALLEVIATE than to attract those whom
we would win to our standards. On the con
trary, tits both wso and just that room should
DC made for other agencies to do the work
that must be done to save the perishing State
Those who take our place in tho arena will
find the whites arraycd in solid phaanx,
steady and determined, ready, willing and
prepared to do and to dare all that honor
would sanction or God approve to rescue
their people from ruin and despair. They
will also find by the side Of these a faithful
and heroic band Of colorod men, who, rising
above the prcjudiccs Of their fellows, and an.
prcciating the claims Of honesty and the no
ccssfty Of good government, hnve braved' dan.
gers and prosecutions calculated to try tho
stoutest heart, and vindicatcd their rights as
freedom by voting, even ut the risk of life, for
the men and measures of tl,oir ei,uice-a
band to be fostcred and cherished under all
the stern vioissitudcs of the future.
They will find, also, that no barrier exists
Between tho good people Of this State and
any organization Of conservatism that can
arise in the next two years by reason of tho
principles annonaccd and established by the
Union Reform party: On tho contrary, wo
have thereby been brought into perfect har.
mony with that type Of Democracy dbw tti.
unphant in so many States, and that onligHt,
encd and conservative Wcstcrn Republican.

How often does it prove
The cause Of cold indiif'rcn
In hearts whose rule is lovei
How oft the sweetest pleasures
Humanity can know,
Are by d harsh expression
Turned into bittcr voc

How many sighs nnd tears.
And sleepless nights, and chccrless days,
And weary, weary years,
Have been the mo"rnrul product.
Though Charity cssaycd

Which oft will leave its impress
From yonth to latest age.
Man may forgive an insult;
But still ii bears its fruit
For memory is tyrant
Whose rule is absolute.

And the doting, trusting wife
