MEDLEY's DISTRICT, October 9Th, 1878.
Mr. Editor IL saw in one Of your late
issues an account Of several Sunday School
gatherings, but have never seen any Of the
union Sunday School picnic which was held
near Pooesville, and for fear some might think
our people thought more of this world s goods
than of the celestial wants of the many juve-
niles for whom this part of our county is noted.
The said Sunday School picnic was COM
posed of three or four different forms of faith
or churches of different names, such as Epis-
copaI, Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist,
but to judge by the number Of young Ameri-
cans that were present, none OF either faith
seemed TO have disregarded The commandment,
which says mite, multiply and replenish the
earth The said performances were presided
over by many of those in this vicinity who
take an insrest in the scriptual welfare of the
rising generation. The chief among them was
Mr.. Isaac Young, who delivered one or two
friendly lectures, which was well received by
young and old, for believe all had made up
their minds TO have good time and to swat
low every thing, even to the bountiul supply
of good things that were prepared for that oc-
casion. The Poolesvie brass band furnished
delightful music gratis, which was appre-
ciated by young and old alike. AS all such
occasions must come TO an end, as the shades
of evening of that pleasant day passed over
tUht beautiful grove Ill uttu W tHtl udpPy
homes well pleased with their days enjoy
ment, none more than the getters-up of this
pleasant affair.
In conclusion, Mr.. Editor, with your per-
mission would suggest that all Of our peo-
Pile follow the example of our Christian friends
and unite on the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress, and not foolishly throw their votes
away on any man who sails under the dark
banner of fraud known as Republicanism.-
But support the man who is the nominee Of
that party which believes all money ought to
be at par and that all deals between man and
man and between government and citizens
should be held sacred and settled without any
unnecessary delay 1t is said, "United we
stand, divided we fill.n Democrats throughout
| this Congressional district should keep this in
mind, for this is not the time to be splutleriog
about our little local differences, but in lieu
thereof go to work and help elect the Demo-
cratic nominee regardless of his name or
where his home may be. Let every good Dem
octat put his shoulder 10 the wheel as of yore,
| aud know no man who Is not the nominee OF
his party and so sure as the starry flag floats
aloft all will he well with us on the eve OF the
9Th OF November next When the united peo-
! pie of this proud land shall have proclaimed
| to the world that fraud and corruption no
longer guides the helm of these United States.
Stand by the old ship boys, for with your as
| sistance one of the sons of our own Montgom-
cry will be ordained to help pilot her to her
moorings, and as she safely comes to anchor in
the port of her old home surrounded by those
who redeemed her, let the banner Of My Mary
| land be as white as the spotless snow with no
white star erased therefrom is the hopeful wish
of all Of our good and true Democrats.
MEDLEYs.
