Child OF Abraham wherefore now
Rests the grief-cIewd on thy brow?
Why hath weeping dimmed thine eve,
- Whence that deep and aching sigh?
Came afliiction on the blast,
breathing sorrow as he pass'd?
Have the jibings of a foe
Torn thy bosom?-
"Gentile, no!
Pain hath not been in my lot;
SuheringS l have tasted not;
have felt no scofrer's scorn:
'Tis for sorer ills mourn.
When l think of Judah's doom.
Born in glory, biered in gloom
When l see the place of God
By the foot of heather tFod;
When hear, at evenings fall,
The false Muezzin's S impIous call
where our sireS were wont to raise
Anthems to Jehoyah'S praise;
When see the sons of those
Whom for his Jehovah chose.
With the cuFSe-scOrch on each brow,
81 W andering kIngless, homeless now;
When think OF prospects marred,
Visions blfghted, prayers unheard,
Hopes that frightened to decieYe-
GENTLE, can cease to griever''
Child of Abra' am quell thy fears;
Upward look amidst thy tears;
Brighter Gays are yet in store;
Son OF sorrow weep no more!
God shall come, and at his voice
Judah'S tribes shall yet rejoice;
In His peoples sight shall He
Reigh and triumph gl0riously
Then shall songs OfjOy reSound
Zion'S hallowed rocks around,
And an eve of glory close
On the day of Judah's woes.

- lie exposure WHICH bDS NS"
York Times has made of the inside fl
nancial operations of the Liberal Ma
tional Executive Committee is suffi
cient to largely account for the failure
of the Liberal Democratic movement.
The tendency of Mr.. Ethan Allen to
cackIe when anybody laid golden
egg made capitalists, disposed to favor
Mr.. Greeley, exceedingly reluctant to
come down with the dust, and proba-
bly, lost the cause many thousands of
dollars needed to carry on the canvass.
Nor does the money which was raised
appear to have been judiciously ex-
pended. If the Times is to be believed,
most of the money subscribed to meet
the expenses of the State canvass in
North Carolina, where it was desper-
ately needed, and where it might have
secured a different result, went into
the pockets of those TO whom it was
intrusted, The incompetency of the
Chairman of the COMMITTEE was un-
derstood and deplored a long time

Wg HAVE THE MArERiAL.-Wc no.
ticc by our exchanges that tho public
mind is wide awake in reference to
the selection Of proper candidates to
tho approaching Constitutional Con.
vcntion. The following ticket is
pretty generally recommended by The
Democratic press Of tho State
William Hopkins, Charles II. Duckalew, Jere-
miah s. Black, George W. Woodward. William
Bigier, Heister Clymer, George II. Barrett, viii
liam A. Wallace, William l.. IIirst, Henry u.
Foster, Edgar Cowan, George sandcrson, Richard
Vaux, VIM. A. Porter.
We adopt it as o whole, giving two
Of the many reasons wc might assign
for SO doing: First They are all
good, sound, unexccptionable Domo-
Gratis. Second. Three of them are
citizens of our own town, and thcrc
are none more competent in tho State
for tho position. Ii there are, trot
them out. We don't often boast, but
wc will intimate this: There is no
borough in tho State which can fur
nish three such sound Democratic
statesmen as Ex- Gov. Bigler, Judge
Barrett and Senator Wallace.

TnE LANAnAN COMMONWEALTH
ferring TO tho Lanahan CONTROVERSY
in the Methodist Book Concern, which
is before the General Conference, a wri-
ter in tho Now York World says;
"Such has been the fcoling in regard
to this controversy in tho church that
in many of tho Annual Conferences
tho election of delegates to tho General
Conference has depended upon tho
known or suspected sympathy Of the
candidates for ono or the other Of the
parties to ii. DR.. Lanahan's own

"WnIrLING," ETC. - The Radical
journals are striving earnestly 10 furn
ish some sort. of consolation to thcil
readers in view of the present throat
ening aspect Of political affairs. They
say that If straight out Democratic
nomination is made, Grant will easily
walk over the course And If the De
mocracy unite on tho Cincinnati ticket
Gas many Democrats will vote for Grant
as for Greeley" and Grant will thus be
elected. This is very flimsy trash, for
we should like to know why a single
Democrat dnytcaere throughout Mt
Union should uofe for Grant under any
conceivable circumstances. "Whistling
to keep courage up" is common per
formancc but il rarely succeeds in
frightening a determined enemy. The
Democracy have determined thatGranI

BETTER THAN A WHITE MAN.-The
Washington Patriot, discussing the
present condition of the black man,
says:
In regard to holding Office, the ne
gro race is much better off than the
white race in at least thirteen or four
teen States of the Union. There is no
one Of the blacks, however ignorant or
unworthy he may be, who is not cligi.
bic to the highest Offices, both under
the State and Federal Government
Not 80 with tho whites in these States.
Probably one hundred and fifty thous.
and persons in the South, embracing
generally the class Of persons most fl
by intelligence, culture, experience
and character are shut out by the in.
cxorablc malice Of the dominant party
from not only Tho higher, but even tho
lower and petty neighborbood Offices,
such as justice Of the peace, clork
OF court, or commissioner in chan.

now for oyer fvo years. Such Is the

ANOTHER IN PosIrIoS by ono
the Democrats are having their mem.

day last the carpetbaggcr, Clark,
from Texas, was turned out by the
Committee on Elections, and Giddings
Democrat, who has been kept out ever
since the LIST of December, put in his
seat. Mr.. Giddings was elected by
some 5000 majority, but Clark's ac
complico, Governor Davis, coolly
threw out the vote Of some seven
counties, and by this slight modifca
tion to tho extent of about l7,00C
votes brought his "pal' in ahead.

"Too MANY MINISTER'S. The New
York Observer, the leading organ OF
of the Presbytcrlans, files exceptions
to the present mode of manufacturing
clergymen. 1t appears that out OF
4,347 Presbyterian ministers, only II
603 are pastors. Many pious and good
people contribute money for the pur.
pose of educating young men for the
Church. The Observer asks whether
this violation of the "dcmand and
supply" law of political economy is
not a grave mistake, and has collected
testimony from all quarters in regard
to it. 1t now says:
Many of the wiscst ministers and best laymen
regard the beneficiary system an evil, not good.
They say that men are fostercd and forced or car
red into the ministry who ought not to get in
that gratuitous education for profession is pre-
MUM offered to incompetency and laziness, and
that the ministry is now ovcrstockcd, burdencd
and degraded by the induction Of deadweights
through this agency.
The facts herein set forth cannot
be gainsayed. The nursing OF any
profession or business is detrimental
to energy and enterprizo and there
fore wrong.
