Thee is much TO encourage us. The Sab

tens. end IN our social ard civil usages Almot
universally the places of public amusement ere
closed, and, as general fact and in growing
deyree. there is a cessation from open labor; and
those from whom this privilege is yet w hheid-
for withheld il is in instances fearfully numerous
have begun 10 feel il the so;est evil of Their
poverty that they cannot obtain that even as
ooon which is tbeirs be inallenable birth-rleht-
by the legacy Of thtir fathers. Of the strength
OF this desire for deliverance there are The mot
convincing proois before the Convection and
among the motives which have assembled US
here. Inanv OF us from distant homes, were the
asfcctinp appeals of this very class OF our p'o-
seribed felow citizens for tse help which pubic
opinion and public sympathy may bring to the'r
relief Shall it he denied and especially snail
the souoht.for aid &C Withheld by those who have
the power to grant it, and that for the sake OF
rains uncertain at the bs.t, bat which, II real
izrd. vii! bring no real good, and which may yet
fufle and disturb the pillow of death


In conclusion, we woulb ask o. our fell1v.citl-
zens their influence, their k'nd persuas!nns, and
.hove sll, their blamcless example IN AID OF this
cause, to the furtherance OF which SO many and
so vsrious considerations promptus. ihe world
has never witnessed the spectacle OF an unlversi
obedience to the Sabbath IN any country and It's
full powcv t. bless nation 10 yet unrevesled. In

II was the remark OF one OF the ablest and pur-
est of these foreigners who came to our aid IN the
DAYS OF revolutionary peril. and who made bis
home, and recently his grave, among us-the late
venerable Duoonceau, OF Philadelphia-that OF all
we clsimes us charac, eristic, our observance of
me Sabbath is the only one truly national and
american, and for this csuse, if tor no other, ne
trusted it would never lose its hold on our atiec
tons aud patriotism. IL was noble thought, and


may well minge with higher and no5ier motives
10 stimulate oar efforts and encourage our hopes.
And while it is the glory 60 eagerly coveted by
other natians that they may be preemlncnt IN
conouests and extended rule, let us gladly accept
j, as our distinction, and wear 1t as the arest Of
alt that grace our escutcheon, that we pre6mi-
ncn.iv hanor the sabbath and the Sabbaihs Lord.
