Thanksgiving.
This day is appointed by the Exocu-
tive Of Rhode Island for the annual
Thanksgiving. 1t becomes us, then,
to turn aside for once from worldly
anxietics and from private grief, to turn
from these to thankful consideration
Of the great good God has done for us,
in all our combined relations Of society,
and politics, or all our private relations,
as members of families, and as indi-
viduals.
Our public blessings, then, are sub
iects of intense gratitude--our forms Of
government-our relations in society,"
II is indeed true, that our forms Of 60
vernment are liable to become corrupt
by the vices Of the men We choose to
administer them. 1t is too true that
such men have in many cases succeed
ed in gaining, if not the confidence ut
least the rOtes Of the people. 1t is in
deed true that the relations Of society
around US. are in many respects false
and excited, but these things, true as
thoy are, lamonted us they must be, arc
no reason why we should not thank God
for the blessings we have left US, but
reason why we should rejoice with ,rcm-
bling. A reason too, why we should
the more resolutely buckle OIL our nr-
mour, that we may overcome evil with
good. Thank God, then, that SD much
is left us to rejoice in-thank God for
the necessity of daily care to preserve
our public blessings.
For our private relations, too, MS
members Of families, Let us thank God
Gather yourselves together this day +,
then, to the house Of God, and offer
Thanksgiving and praise. True you may
not see here,
"All whom you saw in the vanished year."
God may have taken to himself your
fair ohspr ing or your aged parent-or
struck from you the brother or sister Of
your affections. Severed too, it may
be, still closer links Of kindness. You
will, you must, miss these dear relations
from your churches or your homes-but
remember, they cannot, be where they
may, they cannot be beyond the mercy,
and the power Of God--objecis still Of
his care, subjects of necessity to his in
flucnces. Thank God for the opportu-
mites Of resignation aud OF trust he has
afforded you.
AS individuals, oh how much must we
all be grateful for. Life itself, with all
its unnumbered scenes Of enjoyment.
Christian life, with all its rich enjoy
ments Of present blessings, all its infinite
promises of future hope, for mental sani-
ty, for bodily health, the rich catalogue
of blessings rides upon the soul, too
fast and too great to be read. Tell us
no, that you are among the sick and sul-
iering, that you are poor and destitute. |
II may be 80, but may not sickness prove
the source to you Of great blessings both
now and hereafter. Tell US not that
you are poor, and therefore have but
little for which to give thanks. 1t can
not bc--povcrty, ever, wisely used
may prove n source Of rich blessings to
you. Every thing, We say II boldly,
erery thing but sin, moy prove bles-
sing TO you. Thank God to-day. Thank
God aiooys.

But there are over three hours more
of sun, in which there will be brisk
voting, which may change the result.
Again, there are some who seem to
be Van Buren, men, who are so dis
gusted with the measures of the Adj
ministration that they vote the Wing
ticket, without the courage to avow
it.
Frauds, and frauds of the most
enormous extent, must however, IN
this election, overpower the Wings,
unless they have great and stable
majority, effected by changes not yet
visible here. Our II wards being
made into 70 districts, and there be-
ing no registry now, there is no means
of ascertaining a mans right to vote,
and it is very possible for man to
vote 90 or so times. This kind Of
fraud is going on now to a great ex-
tent. Men change their dresses and
their names, and appear in different
parts ofthe city. If challenged, they
get off by pretended mistake of the
bounds of the district, and many Of
them swear their votes right through.
The scenes of last spring are thus re-
newed. Our election is likely to be
another farce. Indeed, nothing but a
registry can approximate toward an
honest system Of voting in such a
populous and queer city as this. We
speak all tongues. We come from
all lands. We live in all places. 1t
is a political Babel, where people are
but tenants to move on elsewhere.
The city is perfectly quiet. The
district system works admirably in
this respect. There is no crowd at
all in the poll rooms, and all can get
their votes in. with safety. This is a
novelty in New York. In one or
two of the wards, heretofore, the in
firm have voted at the peril of their
lives.
Last night, Tammany Hall healed
nearly all its broken tickets. In the
9th ward there is but one Tammany
ticket, and in the 14th and 10th there
isalittle or no opposition to the regu-
lar ticket. Tammany made friends
and kissed during the night.

Vol. I.......No. 40.

The election opened by 2 A. M.
this morning. At 3 A. NJ. the Locos
were in the streets in full procession.
An immense vote was polled at an
early hour. Thousands and thous-
ands voted before breakfast.
In this election money is poured
forth like water. The friends of Mr..
Fan Buren pay as if they were fight
ing the battle of the Presidency.
The vote Of the city ofNew York,
whatever it may turn out to be, will
have no more effect upon the State
THAN it had last spring or last fall.
Harrison and Se,udrd will sweep the
farming districts by increased major
tiles. AS for the city, it's vote will
be given next fall for General Harri-
son, whatever may be the result now,
unless something turns up beyond
what can now be calculated upon.
General Harrison has here a positive
strength beyond that Of the party.
The Tippecunoe Clubs will soon effect
"a revolution in our politics which it
is not possible to counteract but by
the force of mine ofgold; for such
lis the warfare the friends of Mr.. Van
Buren, make upon General Harrison
that the question soon to be decided
will be the last ,oar, and the services
of Harrison in that war. er

When all shall be flame; #
When, Zion the sackcloth u /
Shall cover thy name;

When thy tree, by the lightnings
When the oven, unkindled
By mortal, shall burn

In that furnace of wo;
And, dust as thou vert,
Thou to dust shalt return.
IT'S the darkness of darkness,
The midnight of soul!

Ofthat midnight shall roll,
No starlight shall pierce

The loco focos of Trenton, New
Jersey, at their late election, resorted
in their desperation to the device of
erecting Hickory Pole. The poor
expedient did them no good: they
were beaten; the Undertook fox could
not, by lodging behind Hickory,
escape his doom.
All the elections in New Jersey
have gone for Harrison. And Sec
ond time have the people of that Safe,
in tone of tremendous energy, pro-
claimed their verdict against the out
rage perpetrated upon them by the
administration. ..

President Jackson, in his message
of 18th December, 1886, says:
"To retain the public money in the

at Princeton, NJ The Wing published

On Wednesday night last our
peaceful citizens were aroused from
their slumbers near midnight, by a
tremendous whooping and bowling,
similar somewhat to those raised by
the Indians when Harrison whipped
them at Tippecanoe and the Thames;
upon rising from their beds a mob
was discovered in front of the church
whooping and hllooing, and beating
with clubs an object somewhat resem-

sold Harrison;" after enjoying that
refined sport for some time, it was
thrown into large bonfire and con-
sumed. ...-.r s..
