Heroic Act of Seven Men of Captain
Campbell's Company.
A private letter written by a mem
ber of Capt. Campbell's Company, da
ted June 14th, relates one of the bra
vest acts of the war; from which we
make the following extract:
"On Thursday last twenty-five of onr
Company were on picket duty along
the front toward Richmond, as were
twenty-five from each of the other
companies of the 49th. A cavalryman
rode along the picket line bearing a
dispatch for General Brookes' Brigade
which lies on our left. But the uner
ring aim of a rebel sharpshooter,(which
alas, takes off too many brave boys)
entered the vitals of the cavalryman.
His horse ran furiously with him to
ward the rebel lines, and when within
twenty paces of the rebel pickets he
fell oft and the horse ran back within
our lines. The despatch bearer laid in
the wheat field for two hours whet Col.
Vinton of the 43d New York rode up
and said, "Boys there lies one of our
men ! Must we leave him there? No,
if we do the rebel sons of b- will
get him I Who will volunteer to bring
hint in ?" And instantly Jerry Cro
mer, George Cromer, Hanson Camp
bell, Isaac Beamer, Theodore D. Mc-
Farland, Arthur ..Podgei.'s and Wash.
2•1.0..ih-swpped forward and offered to
accompany Col. Vinton on the haz
ardous expedition. They first stacked
their arms, and then stealthily crept
through the grain until they reached
the despatch bearer. The rebel pick
ets saw them and fired hut a higher di
vinity preserved them from the bul
lets of the enemy and they came
out bearing the ill fated cavalry
man with them. Truly, " brave
boys are they who have come at their
country's call." But that which we
pride in, is, that though there were
twenty-five men on picket from each
-company that day not a man volun
teered to accompany Col. Vinton but
Company D,—all Huntingdon co. boys.
" Our Company is enjoying good
health—there being only three on the
sick list. Lieut. Westbrook is very
low with fever. B. M. Greene has
recovered so far as to rejoin the com
pany. Thomas Coder-is sick.
" We . are making shades over the
t•treets in the eamp, it being very pretty
and conducing to our health and com
fort."
A Noble Appeal:
Below re print the address issued by
The Washington City Pennsylvania Sol
diers' Italy' Association, and ask for it
the careful and candid perusal of the
people of this state. The object of the
association is purely humane. It only
E,ceks to co-operate with the agents al
ready appointed by Gov. Curtin, to
carry aid, comfort and consolation to
ole ,sick and wounded soldiers in the
grrnies of the Republic. Such a pur
pose, will of course become popular,
l and secure the hearty support of every
true Pennsylvanian.
TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
The Washington City Pennsylvania

may realize the objects it has in view,
Appeals to you for material aid. In
doing so, itis deemed proper that those
(objects be publicly declared, and the
Van it has adopted for effecting them
riefly disclosed.
The Association proposes to act as
;tn auxiliary to the agency established
hero by the State for carrying aid,
comfort, and consolation to her sick
and wounded sons in the Army of the
Republic. The association intends to
have At its rooms lists of the names

will seek to apprise the soldier's
friends of his condition; it will strive

at its rooms such information as may
conduce to the great purpose in view—
the comfort of our suffering brothers.
To secure the co-operation of num

tire Committee of Thirteen, and a Fi
nance Committee of Seven, a Treasurer
and a Recording and Corresponding
Secretary. The Executive Commit tee
has appointed a number of subordinate
committees, each with its appropriate
duties. They have also selected a
store-keeper and provided a store
room. The Finance Committee is en
joined to collect funds and other sup
plies, and empowered to appoint, if
found ucees , :ary, subordinate commit
tees to visit you, and in person ask
your aid. Contributors will send mon

Jay Cooke & Co., Treasurer. But if
your gifts be in clothing or oilier com
forts, send them to some member of
the Finance Committee only. All in
quiries relative to sobliers should be di
'vete(' to the Corresponding Secretary.
With entire confidence, the Assoc:hi
t:on appeals to the loyalty and gener
osity of a people who have never
shrunk from sacrifice or suffering
when the country called' for them, us
now, in a just and noble cause. God
permits us to live in troublons but he
roic times. when justice, mercy, and
humanity aid in summoning all to the
discharge of high duties at the expense
of personal comfort and selfish consid
eration.. Wherever the Christian or
philanthropist has gone forth from
you to this field of labor among the
sick and suffering, you have followed
him lovingly and trustingly with your
means and your blessings. The
knowledge of this, borne to us on ev
ery breeze, encourages us in this our
appeal.
Remember, it is not money alone
we shall need. Those who cannot
give that, can bestow some garment
from their wardrobe or some comfort
from their store-house. Our appeal is
before you ; of the nature of the re
sponse we entertain no doubt.
In behalf of the Finance Committee,
D. L. EATON, Chairman.

The Union Movement in Indiana,
The State Union Convention was
held in Indiana on the 18th inst., in
which some of the oldest and most
prominent Democrats took an active
part. A State ticket was nominated,
upon which was placed two of the
most prominent Democrats. The fbi
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the Convention :
Whereas, The National Government
is engaged in a war waged against it
by its enemies, for the avowed pur
pose of its destruction and the sub
version of our republican form of Gov
ernment: therefore,
Resolved, That the present civil war
was forced upon the country by the
Disunionists in the Southern States.who
are now in rebellion against the Con
stitutional Government; that in the
present national emergency, we, the
people of Indiana, in Convention as
sembled, forgetting all former political
differences, and recollecting only our
duty to the whole country, do pledge
ourselves to aid, with men and money,
the vigorous prosecution of the pres
ent war, which is not being waged, up
on the part of our Govern inent, for the
purpose of conquest, subjugation, or
the overthrowing or interfering with
the rights or established institutions of
any of the States, but to suppress and
put down a wicked and causeless re
bellion, defend and maintain the su
premacy of the Constitution. and to
preserve the Union as established by
our patriot fathers, with all the dignity,
equality and rights of the several
States unimpaired, and when these ob
jects are fully accomplished, and not
before, we believe the war ought to
cease; and that we invite all who coin
cide in these sentiments to unite with
us in support of the ticket this day
nominated.
Resolved, That we demand and ex•
pert of our Executive and legislative
bodies, both State and National, an
economical administration of govern
mental affairs, and the punishment of
frtanl against the Government, as well
as a fearless discharge of their duties.
Resolved, That as long as patriotism,
courage, and the love of constitutional
liberty shall be honored and revered
among the people of the United States.
the heroic conduct of the soldiers of
the Union, who have offered their lives
for the salvation of their country, will
be remembered with the most pro
found feelings of veneration and grat
itude, and that we now tender to them
the warmest thanks and lasting grati
tude of every member of this Conveu-
Resolved, That we tender to the 60,-
000 volunteers front Indiana our heart
felt congratulations, and bail with pride
the fact that upon every battle-field
where Indianians have been fouud,they
have displayed the bravery of patriots
in defbnee of a glorious cause, and we
pledge them that, while they are sub
duing armed traitors in the field, we
will condemn, at the ballot-box, all
those in our midst who are not uncon
ditionally for the Union.
Speech of Hon. Henry Seachrist
Mr. Seaclirist, for forty years a prom
inent Democrat then addressed the
Convention as follows :
I feel very grateful to this audience
and its presiding officer for the honor
of addressing you at this time. lam
unprepared, even with notes, to speak
to you; but the heart's speaking from
its warm impulses to fellow hearts is
probably the best, as it is the freshest,
converse we can hold together. I have
no speech to make to timid men. If
there are any here who doubt our ca
pacity for republican government; who
thinks there will not be vigor and per
manence hereafter, " let him slide."
[Laughter.] 1 talk to men who love
their country, and would perish rather
than see it perish. I have been a par
tisan thirty-seven years. I have no re
grets for it now. I look back upon
my career with pride. Mistakes have
been made, but it is human to err.
But when I look back upon the achieve
ments of that man of iron will and in
corruptible honesty who critglie , l the
-PERSEVERE.-
rebellion of South Carolina, I have no
regrets. The days of heroes, political
heroes, has gone by. Jackson, who was
in heart and soul above any other man
of his age, who had no kindred, and
placed his country above all else, that
man would have stricken this rebellion
down at once with an iro» hand, with
out calling out an army of 500,000
men.
My political education began under
the tutelage of Jackson. Nine of us
who held the first Democratic Convention
in Indiana, in 1327 are here to-day.
They arc for the country, and the
Union, and the triumph of the laws. I
have always supposed it was the duty
of every citizen, without regard to
party. to stand by his Government, as
the child stands by its mother. This
was the doctrine or ancient Democra
cy. This was the spirit, imbued into
me when a child. 1 sprang front that
class whieh furnished common soldiers
in our early wars, men of the frontier,
hardy and undisciplined, but who
would take a battery from the British,
or chase the Indian from the woods
and swamps, whenever duty called
them. This origin implanted in me a
bitter hatred of anti-war men. For
myself. I adopted the motto of the
lamented Decatur : ^ In time of war, I
am for my country, right or wrong."
I supposed this was the doctrine of the
Democracy. It is true that no Demo
cratin creed had provided for such an
emergency, but I should have thought
that every principle of the party, and
even its animal instincts, (laughter,)
would have fbrced it to the support of
the Government in this wan•. If not,
I would cast such a traitor party from
me.
There might be circumstances when
I might fail to support my Govern
ment. If there was an attempt to
establish a despotism, to destroy the
institutions that protect us, I would
fight against it. But I would be an
open enemy. I would give it a writ
ten release from all protection, and all
claim to any rights under it, and leave
it. I would never fight the battle of
traitors on the soil of the Government
(applause) which protected me. If I
were a Secessionist I would p)S l outh."
[Great applause awl cries of " Good."]
It is said that the Bth of January
Convention party is not an anti-war
party. They argue very illogically. In
this country, and under every free
Government, it is certain that any
party which organizes against the Gov
ernment, in time of war, becomes in
evitably an anti-war party. The mo
tive may be patriotic, at first, but they
cannot help drilling front opposition to
the Government into opposition to the
war. How has it been in this coun
try? Let the. past speak. The old
Federal party was composed of men
of honor and ability, who were patri
otic and did good service in the Revo
lution ; but it attempted to dictate how
the war of 1812 should be conducted.
It was opposed to a war with Great
Britain, but in favor of one against
France. In proposing to change the di•
rection of the war, it drifted into an
anti-war party. The Hartford Con
vention discussed the very questions which
were under discussion at the Sth of Jan
uary Convention. [Cheers and laugh
ter.]
I refer to a recent example in point.
In the Mexican war the Whig party
didn't intend to he an anti-war party.
But Polk's administration had to be
opposed. They went on. and however
tenderly they arrayed themselves, at
last, in direct opposition to the war.—
I opposed them. I denounced Corwin
as a mor a l traitor. 1 think so yet.—
As the Federal party died of' opposi
tion to the war of 1812, so did the
Whig party die of opposition to the
Mexican war. It made an attempt to
change its position by indentifying it
self with the name and fame of Gener
al Taylor, and succeeded for a timc.—
But when he died it died. - No party
can array itself against the Govern
ment, in time of war without writing
its own death warrant at the hands of
the people.
Political parties always become an
ti-war parties, if party organization is
kept up in time of war. liven if the
Bth of January Convention had nomi
nated perfectly unexceptionable men,
I would still oppose them. for I will
not consent to place myself in opposi
tion to my Government in time of war.
I said that some of my fellow-Dem
ocrats were illogical in their opposition
to the administration. I differ from
them in their premises. They assume
that the Administration is attempting
to subvert by the war the Government
of our flatters. And they tell us com
placently that they are in favor of fur
nishing money for the war. If this
was the case, I would organize an arm
ed opposition to the Government. I
would not submit to any organized
treason here. I would as soon support
the treason of Jeff. Davis as the trea
son of any other traitor. I have great
respect for the traitors who fight open
/y against the Government; node for
submissionists who undertake to di
rect the war by opposition to the Gov
ernment. I viewed with dismay the
progress of this matter. 1 knew that
oceans of blood must be shed before the
Union could be broken up. I expec
ted to see the battle-field here, and the
last hamlet in Indiana in flames.—
But this (lid not take place, because
the people of Indiana overawed the
traitors among them.
The men to whom I refer were the
original Breckinridge men. The first
blow of the traitors was the attempt
to break up the Democratic party.—
Those who broke up the Charleston
Convention and fbllowed Yancey, did
it to break up the party—as a threat
of disunion. I regarded the nomina
tion of Breckinridge as a disunion
movement. For the Breckinridge
men who have repented and are now
loyal. I have no w/srtl of reproach.
Breckinridge was a traitor long be
fore he was nominated. He returned
to the Senate after it was known that
treason was achieved. He arraigned
the President because ho defended the
capital of the nation, on the ground
that he had no legal power to call out
awn fin. ts d vie» co. Many of the Dem
ocrats of Indiana cried out, Amen !
Shame on such men ! I defended Jack
son for calling out the mounted men
of Tennessee against the orders of the
Secretary of War, and the Governor of
Tennessee. Can I turn back on that
record, and refuse to defend Mr. Lin
coln If Jackson had been in Balti
more. that bridge-burner Merryman
would have had no chance for a writ
of habeas corpus. He would have
hung him as high as Ifanian at once.
My doctrine is, - War to the knife, and
the knife to the hilt."
But these old Democrats are alarmed
at martial law, as if it never was de
clared before in this country. The
" Democratic Address," signed by some
men who never were Democrats, and
not signed by those who have never
been any thing else, falsifies facts when
it states that martial law has never
suspended the habeas corpus before in
this country. It was suspended in
New Orleans in 1815, at San kett's Har
bor, and at other places. I have said
those who had not been Democrats
long signed this address. No wonder
they made such mistakes.
Letter from Senator Wright.
The following letter from Hon. J.
Wright, Democratic United States Sen
ator from Indiana, was read :
WASIIINOTON CITY, June 13, 1862.
To the President of the Union Conven
tion:
DEAR SIR : I regret being absent
from the great meeting of the Union
men of our State; but this is no time
for any man, however humble, to leave
his post of official duty.
Nobly have the SODS of Indiana sus
tained the patriotic history and impul
ses, bequeathed by their fathers, in this
terrible contest for national existence.
Their fame sheds a brighter lustre up
on almost every battle-field, and
throughout every section of the coun
try their valor and patriotism are
sounded with enthusiasm and pride;
and whilst the heroic men of all parties
and all classes, are in the tented field,
engaged in the overshadowing work of
putting down this foul rebellion, and
beating back the enemies of our free
institutions, may it, on this day, be
your duty to set the like example of
unity in your councils and patriotism
in your purposes, by ignoring all past
political opinion or party creeds, and
present, for the suffrage of the vast
Union party of the State, honest and
goDd men, regardless of past principles
or political associations. If we would
succeed in preserving the Government
of our fathers, we must have a united
North. Party creeds and platforms
will divide us, and thus paralyze the
arm of the Covet nment.
The President has called around him
many men of different political opin
ions; among others. our present wor
thy and efficient Secretary of War,
and Generals Ilalleck and McClellan.
'Those three men have more to do for
the weal or wo of the Government, for
the restoration of its unity and its
priceless instutions, preserving them
to us and our children, than perhaps
all other men prominent among the
American people. the President him
self excepted. Yet these men all dif
fer politically from the party that
brought into power the present Ad
ministration. Can we not follow this
fine example in this contest, when the
question is so pro-eminently one of
Government or no Government. coun
try or no country ? It is my sincere
trust that harmony and peace will
characterize all your acts and deliber
ations.
I have only time to add a single sen
timent. Ultraism must be abjured.—
Ultra measures, whether in the North
or South, must perish—not one but
both—or the Government will not sur
vive. The vitality and virtue essen
tial to the very existence of the nation,
is to be fbund in elevating good and
honest men to places of public trust, far
more than in well-written creeds and
platforms of party conventions.
•
Accept assurances of
Yours, most respectfully,
JOSEPH A. WTRIOUT.
State of Affairs in Richmond.
Mr. Raymond, of the N. Y. Times,
writes from the camp before Richmond
as follows :
There can be no doubt whatever
that not only the Army but the people
of Richmond, suffer greatly from lack
of provisions and clothing. The Rich
mond papers are full of discussions on
the subject, urging various modes of
relief, and seeking to calm the appre
hensions of the people.
The following letter from Richmond,
of a recent date, gives important tes
timony on the same subject. It is
from a gentleman whose name is well
known, and who, I trust, will excuse
this diversion of this letter from its
original destination. Mr. Robinson is
evidently writing to his wife, in King
William county :
"RICHMOND, Friday, June 13, '62.

Mr. Aylett last night. A single line

thing else, unless you think we shall
lose them. Corbin and Lot will, I
hope, with encouragement, keep off the
negroes. dive Corbin, Lot, William,
Henry, and Nancy, a dollar apiece for
me, and tell them I sent it and desired
to be remembered to them. Tell Hen
ry to let Jimmy and Peter IL - tomes
have corn whenever they want it, and
get them to assist in trying to make a
crop. He hind better take care of what
wheat is on hand, for it is doubtful
whether the growing crop will be saved.
" You speak of wishing to get to
Richmond. Let me advise you not to
come. Friends that were glad to see
you before would not be now. It is
near upon starvation here with every
one. Board $3,50 per day, and noth
ing to eat at that. Mr. Dudley was
kind enough to give me a room at the
depot, and he and I, and four or five
others, are messing and doing our own
marketing and cooking. I will give
you a sample of what we pay for what
we have to cat: Bacon, 60 cents per
pound; beef and lamb, 60 cents per
pound; coffee, 51,50 per pound; sugar,
60 cents; greens, 50 cents per head;
bread, 10 cents per loaf; molasses, $4
per gallon. I saw Eugene day before
yesterday. He is stationed five miles
below here, immediately on the rail
road. I send him bread every morn
ing by the cars. Claiborne was in to
see the last Saturday. Ile stands it
manfully. Ben is well and hearty,
and is about three miles from here.—
I have provided them all with clothes,
and will attend to their wants as long
as I ant here. Beverly left here yes
terday 6Dr Brunswick, but will be back
again in a few days to take the cap
taincy of a company in Col. Chambliss'
regiment. The Colonel is an intimate
friend of his.
" Both armies are entrenching them
selves around this place, and I do not
think a fight will take place for some
time. The advance of the enemy in
the direction of Hanover Court House
in the last two or three days, will pre
vent my getting to King William, as
I expected. As soon as the way is
clear I expect to go to the upper parts
of Hanover, King William, and King
and Queens, to purchase provisions for
the army. Give my love to Henry
and tell him to take care of Phis. I
have given Frank to Ben, and would
like to have Phis here if I could get
anything to feed him on.
"With much love, yours most af
fectionately, Taos. ROBINSON,"
The President on Slavery and the
Present Troubles.
Interview with "progressive friends,"
reorreApondence 01 Thu Preqq.]
WASHINGTON, June 20.—This morn
ing a delegation of the religious socie
ty of Progressive Friends, composed
of Thomas Garrett, of Wihnington,
Delaware ; Oliver Johnson, of New
York; Alice Eliza Hambleton, Dinah
Mendenhall, William Barnard and
Eliza Agnew, called on the President
and presented a memorial soliciting
bin to issue a proclamation of eman
cipation of the slaves.
Senator Wilmot, of Pennsylvania,
introduced the delegation, accompan
ied by Representatives Kelley, Davis
and Campbell, of the House of Repre
sentatives from Pennsylvania. Sena
tor W. stated the object of the visit,
and the President replied that he
would listen with pleasure to the del
egation.
Mr. Oliver Johnson said:
Mr. President : We appear before
you, by your kind permission, not to
solicit office either for ourselves or
our friends, nor to ask for any party
or personal favor, but in the interest of
the country and of humanity. Our
clients are the four millions of slaves
who cannot speak for themselves, but
only lift up their chained hands in ago
nizing supplication for the freedom
which it is in your power, in the sol
emn crisis of tho country's fate, to
confer upon them.
Mr. J. thou read the memorial, as
follows :
Memorial of the Religious Society of Pro
gressive Friends.
"To Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States:
" The religious Society of Progres
sive Friends, in yearly meeting as
sembled, at Longwood, Chester co.,
Pa., from the sth to the ith of Sixth
month, 1862, under a solemn sense of
the perils besetting the country, and
of the duty devolving upon them to
exert whatever influence they possess
to rescue it from impending destruc
tion, beg leave, respectfully but earnest
ly, to set forth for the consideration of
President Lincoln :
" That they fully share in tho gen
eral grief and reprobation felt at the
seditious course pursued in opposition
to the General Government by the so
called "Confederate States ;" regard

features of high-handed rnhbory, cruel

treachery, and murderous violence,
and therefore utterly to be abhorred
and condemned by every lover of his
country, and every friend of the hu
man race.
" That, nevertheless, this sanguinary
rebellion finds its cause, purpose, and
combustible materials, in that most un
christian and barbarous system of sla
very which prevails in that section of
the country, and in the guilt of which
the whole laud has long been deeply
involved by general complicity; so that
it is to be contritely recognized as the
penalty due to such persistent and fla
grant transgressions, and as the inevi
table operation of the law of eternal
justice.
"That thus heavily visited for its
grinding oppression of an unfortunate
race, " peeled, meted out, and trodden
under foot," whose wrongs have so
long cried unto heaven for redress—
and thus solemnly warned of the in
fatuation as well as exceeding wick
edness of endeavoring to secure peace,
prosperity, and unity, while leaving
millions to clank their chains in the
house of bondage—the nation, in its
official organization, should lose no
time in proclaiming immediate and
universal emancipation so that the
present frightful effusion of blood may
cease, liberty he established, and a
permanent reconciliation be effected
by the removal of the sole cause of
these divisions.
" That in his speech delivered at
Springfield, before his election to the
Chief Magistrate, the President ex
pressly declared: 'A house divided
against itself cannot stand. I believe
this Government cannot endure per
manently half slave and half free. I
do not expect the Union to be dis
solved—l do not expect the house to
fall—but I do expect it will cease to
be divided. It will become all one
thing, or all the other.'
" That this Society, therefore, ur
gently unites with a wide-spread and
constantly increasing sentiment in be
seeching the President, as the head of
the nation, clothed with the constitu
tional power, in such a fearful emer
gency, to suppress the rebellion effect
ually by the removal of its cause, not
to allow the present golden opportuni
ty to pass without decreeing the entire
abolition of slavery throughout the
land, as a measure imperatively de
manded by a due regard for the unity
of the country, the safety and happi
ness of the people, the preservation of
free institutions, and by every consid
eration of justice, mercy, and peace.—
Otherwise, we have fearful reason to
apprehend-that blood will. continue to
flow, and fierce dissensions to abound,
and calamities to increase, and fiery
judgments to be poured out, until the
work of national destruction is con
summated beyond hope of recovery.
"The above memorial, after thorough
deliberation and discussion, was unan
imously adopted by the Society; and
Thomas Garrett, of Wilmington, Del.,
Alice Eliza Hambleton, of Chester co.,
Pennsylvania, and Oliver Johnson, of
New York, were appointed delegates
to bear the same to Washington and
present it to the President of the Uni
ted States. It was also agreed that
any other members of the Society,
wishing to do so, might join these del
egates in the discharge of their duty.
" Signed by direction and on behalf
of the Religious Society of Progressive
Friends. OLIVER JOHNSON,
JENNIE K. SMITH, Clerks."
The President then said, that as he
had not bee,, furnished with a copy of
the memorial in advance, he could not
be expected to make any lengthy re
marks. lie was pleased that the dele
gation had not come as office-seekers,
for they were the source of his great
troubles and perplexities. The next
most troublesome subject was slavery.
Ho agreed with the memorialists, that
slavery was wrong, and differed from
them only in respect to the ways and
means of abolishing it. The extract
from his Springfield speech in the me
morial was incomplete, not including
a sentence in which he had indicated
his views as to the effect upon slavery
itself of the resistance of its extension.
If a decree of emancipation would do
the work, John Brown would have
done it at Harper's Ferry. The Con
stitution is binding upon the people of
the South, but cannot be enforced at
present. Do you think a decree of
emancipation would be any more ef
fective.
Mr. Johnson—True, Mr. President,
the Constitution cannot now be en
forced at the South, but you do not for
that reason give up the struggle. The
memorialists believe that the extinc
tion of slavery is necessary as means
of the attainment of your object.
The President replied that ho felt
the importance and magnitude of the
task before him, and hoped to be right
ly directed in the very embarrassing
circumstances by which he was sur
rounded.
William Barnard then made a few
remarks, expressing his sympathy for
the President, and his ardent desire
that he might be guided by Divine
wisdom in the exercise of the power
placed in his hands for giving freedom
and peace to the country.
Mr. Lincoln replied in an impressive
manner, for he felt very deeply his
need of Divine aid and guidance in
the discharge, of his solemn duties.—
He had sometimes thought that he
might bo an instrument in the bands
of God for accomplishing a great work,
and he certainly was willing to be.—
Perhaps God's way of accomplishing
the end which the memorialists have
in view is different from theirs. At
any rate, he should endeavor with a
firm reliance on the Divine Arm, and,
seeking for light from above to do his
duty.
The delegation then retired.
