THANKS GIVING DAY

8
to the pragmatic DEGREES of Gov. Seward or
Alderman Purdy, we, and all our troops, num-
bering thirty healthy men and sixty fine boys,
besides many pretty women. ceased to labor
on Thursday, and return our thanksovef good
fat turkies, to the Father of the Universe, the
Great Giver of all Good, for the manifold mer-
cies received at his hands, throughout the last
eventful year.
We shallreturn thanks =
For enjoying the blessings of civil and re-
liglous liberty, and the inestimable right of
worShipping God as we please, without being
imprisoned or burnt at the stake for the
same.
Forthe abundant crops of wheat, cotton, to-
bacco, corn, potatoes, amounting in value, by
the recent census, to nearly 100000, be-
ing nearly 25 per cent greater than on any
former year.
For the enjoyment of free schools and USE
full education in all the States, with the excep-
ton of 10000 boys and girls who attend no
schools in the gallant State of Kentucky.
For the happy multiplication of the sects
of Christianity among US, who all flourish and
fight with each other, so that no one can mon
opolize power, as the Romsh sect did in the
dark ages, and thereby become intolerant
For the black-hearted, hypocriiical conspir-
acy, under the name of morals, formed against
us last summer, by the Wall street editors
and politicians, by the generous reaction O
which on the public mind, the circulation and
patronage of the Herald has increased two
fold; yea, even in a greater ratio than the
crops of wheat and potatoes.
For the decline of all corrupt and demoraliz
ing theatrical amusements, the growth of the
cheap theatres, fine horses, refinement, music
tell ,lv<.
<xaa4 t0oPular amusements.
We also returned our sincere InanKs AFTER
Because the horrible decentralization of pol
iticians and politics. is comparatively confined
to the pipe-layers of Wall street and their affil-
lated dens of iniauity; for the honest yeoman-
ry of the land do not yet take their morals or
their thoughts from Watson Webb, Charles
King, Thurlow Weed, or any such questiona-.
BILE saints.
Because, although the United States Bank
and her associates have, since 1887, cheated
the country out of 500, 000, 900. they have not
yet robbed us out of all morals, honesty, decen-
cy, and good crops.
Because the meat monopoly, after war,
begun by Us, of four years, is now nearly at a
close, and the prices of beef, chicken, poultry,
mutton, flour, fish, and all other provisions,
are reasonable and will be kept SO.
Because we are no supplcant for Office or
emolument from any man, and if Gen. Harri-
son appoints good men, not dirty politicians,
We will support him; but if he does not, we
will walk into him as quietly as we have ever
walked into Gen. Jackson or Martin Van Bu-
rem.
Because, during the last year, we beat the
corrupt and bankrupt Wall street press, at
least one hundred. times, in publishing impor-
tant news of all kinds in advance of them,
while they were ready to cut their threats,
out of pure spite and vexation, at our activity
and success.
And las tlv-Because we are now married
man. and after six months experience, we
would recommend every bachelor to get mar
ried as fast as he can, assuring him that with
out being the husband of sensible, spirited
woman, human life is a barren waste, without
a green spot to rest the eye upon, or refresh
ing pathway TO walk from time into eterni-
|ty.
So-we returned thanks on these several ac-
counts. Amen, says the reader.
