Democratic Criticism Of Rebel Prayer

After the Rev Henry watlerson had
concluded his address 10 the Convention
yesterday, Bishop Marven addressed
some interesting remarks TO the Throne
Of Grace. It conveyed 10 the Almighty
an amount Of information unusually large
TO be compressed in 30 brief an Grafton
TO the Lord Ii was a kind Of com
pcndium, in fact. OF history. the minia.
ture Of such an one as would be admira.
bly, adapted 10 use in primary schools
But Bishop Marven's address to Jehovah
was defective in some respects Ofcourse
the ordinary civilities were shown 70 the
Creator in advising Him that the ST.
Louis Convention was engaged in wor.
Shipping him. and lie was complimented
upon the character Of Ills name and au.
thority. His connection with the Amer.
lean Colonies was alluded 10. but the date
was carelessly omitted II Bishop Mar.
ven is imparting information to the Lord
Of all he should be minute I'VE have
sinned," adds the Bishop. and here he
should have instanced the Credit No
bilier and the whisky rings and the im.
provements in the District Of Columbia.
while a mention Of our sins Of tariff and
currency would have been proper. and
might have had some influence upon the
platform. II was eminently fit 10 remind
God that agriculture Il the basis Of all
prosperity and that mineral wealth is
embowsled in our mountains" But u
he had also told him that the Missouri
bottom lands we're unsurpassed and were
worth 500 an acre. and that the ores Of
Iron Mountain were Of fine quality. IL
would have given point TO the remark T.
aud IL be had parcnthetically remarked
that be had some Of the same for sale,
this feature would have been perfect
But the Bishop said Labor j. at con.
slant demand az reasonable rewaFd."
Now. Bishop Marvcn cant "foof tho
Lord in that way. we feel sure. and on
the principle Of falsus in uno. ialsus In
omnibus. which. ns the Almighty knows.
means false in one, false In all. there
is grave reason 20 fear that the Creator
lost all confidence in the Bishops cx.
prcssions Of reverence for His holy name
IN the earlier part Of his recitation.
When the Bishop told Jehovah that
"our factories, our workshops, are crowd
ed with intelligent. industrious, ingenious.
skillful artisans while he could not
help knowing that that very city Of s.
Louis was foil OF workshops. neither
crowded with intelligent, etc, artisans.
nor with any other kind. How is IL pos
sible for God to believe the Bishop when
the latter tells Him that His name IL
above every place aud that he thinks
'the world and all Of Him The Great
Creator cannot be imposed. and the
Bishop did protest too much. As do

DEAR SIR am in receipt Of your let-

of the late barbarous massacre Of inno-

as to the duty you owe to your oath OF
Office and to the citizens to secure to all
their civil rights, including the right to
vote according TO the dictates Of their
own consciences; and, further, the duty
Of the Executive of the Nation to give
all neediul aid when properly called on
to do so, to enable you 10 insure this in.
alienable right, / fully concur in The
scene at Hamburg, as cruel. blood-thirsty
wanton, uuprovoked and as uncalled for
as it was, IS only q repetition OF the
course that has been pursued in other
Southern States within the last few
years, notably in Mississippi and Louisi
ana. Mississippi is governed, to-day, by
officials chosen through fraud and VIC
lence, such as would scarcely be accred
| tied to savages, much less to a civilized
and Christian people. How long thes'
things are to continue, or what is to b,

abiding faith that the remedy will com,
and come speedily, and earnestly hop,
