BEYOND.

DE- VINO
Beyond this vale of sorrows,
Beyond the flowing tide, 4
Beyond the shining portals,
Where love and peace abide;
Beyond the care and toiling,
Beyond the ceaseless strife,
IL beyond TIE lapse of'weary years,
To an immortal life.
Beyond the sighs and crying,
Beyond the pain and moan,
Beyond the gates of Heaven,
WheTe sickness is unknown.
Beyond the wall of orphans,
THE widows mournful cry,
we hear voice that whispers:
"We'll meet thee in the sky"
Perhaps we dread the coming
Of the angel clothed in white
The messenger of glory
From the beauteous realms of Light
But we recollect the loved ones
That have gone from rs Before,
To the land Of Joy and beauty
To the eer yerdant shore.
Then lie haste with I'd .jEdSyttos I'D greet them
Thinking not Of them below
Caring more for those in .Heaven1z.

Meeting Of The Dtnacratic State
Executive Committee.

The Democratic. State Executive
Committee, after a full and free cou-
ference, have adopted the following
resolutions as embodyiing the policy,
in their opinion, proper to bepursued
by the Democracy Of the State in the
present canvass:
l. Resolued, That in the present
state Of parties in South Carolina, we
deem it unwise to nominate Demo
cratic State ticket, and decline, there
fore, to call a convention of the pco-
pie for that purpose.
2. Resozucd, That having adopted
the policy thus indicated, we demand
Of the Republican party that they
fulfil, in good faith, their public
pledges, and give to the State an able,
honest, and economical governments
under which extravaganza and fraud
shall. cease, and all classes Of citizens
shall be faithfully and intelligently
represented.
8 Rcsolred, That we now place on
record our unqualified condemnation
of the corruption and robbery, which,
as the Republicans themselves con-
fess, pervade the executive and legis
lative departments Of the State gov
ernment; for which corruption and
robbery the Republican party of this
State, as sustained by the Federal
government, is alone responsible.
4. Rcso1uca, That we deem it of
the first importance that the Demo-
cratic party be organized in the sew
er;tl counties for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning. by such means as may seem
best, the largest measure Of local and
legislative reform.
5. ReSolved, That tie Chairman of
this Committee appoint, at his leisure,
1t Chairman for each County in the
State, who shall carry out in the re-
spective counties, the objects Of the
preceding resolutions.
