Thanksgiving.

The following witty and aRiteratire description CT
New England's great festival is from an old number
of the Boston Evening Bulletin.
SNOW hath arrived the festival proclaimed of yore,
when the strait bodied grandfaherS Of our goody
monweath found themselves planted triumphantly in
the land whlom enjoyed by heather savages. Now
doth the carnival prevail and the civil magistrate or
daineth stung. Lo the farmer fatteneth beeves and
swine and the esher cuteth up brskets and sparerbs
and lothian trudgeth to the market town Herewith.
Now busting housewives WELD the chopping knife,
and spread the crust and spatter the treacle while
duteous Molly brandsheth the carver, dealing death
ducks ard diddes across hickory log she also
guillotineth the pariarchal rooster slasheh likewise
the weasand of dame Partle her age of laying past
His last gobble hath the gray gander gotten and the
fan-taled turkey hidden farewell to herbage and the
porker grunted moodly in mud his greasy requiem.
The larder grOaneth with the burthen of Bacon and
the stall staggereth beneath mountains of mutton.
There is SAVIOUR of sauce in the kitchen, and a
smacking of cider in the cellar, and pageantry of
plates in the parlour Now comeh to the table pud-
ding and priest, and goose and guest, and all things
meet for the mandbles of man. OMniverous man
how doth thy foul cravings devastation among
the feathery tribe, the fourfoOted kingdom, and the
vegetable empire -Dreamest thcu of paradise in thy
rotations of porter and presumest thou to moralize
amidst thy gormandizings! Alas for thy absorb
ngs thou shalt suffer tumeaction; and for thy glut-
tony there is in store for thee purgatory of lumbago
thankful heart should not he snothered in spirits
nor grateful bosom crammed with cabbage
Now, in cities dense, the long expected holiday
brings freedom to the lads and much fat produce into
market. Mark the portly merchant from his princely
meal oumarchng with gladness resting on his cheek,
and poultry in his stomach Yon happy urchin too hath
been to greet with ready compliments his antiquated
aunt; while welcome issues from her lips, and pastry
from her pantry. Now bellies, all pumed and ribbon
cd trip to the church, with sober mind intent on pety
and pie; to hear the horgan and the hanthem.
"Now, tits merry time in hall and hovel-while
the nabob gloats with eager eye viands luscious
and farfeched, the laborer spreads before famshed
household his little store of gleanings eeemosynary,
teaching rudely the rudments of gratitude. Hail ju-
bilee of innocence Long may the virtues of our ia
theirs be remembered with TaANKsGIvING.'

The Sinking Fund.

We have received several calls, from Wing as vel
as Democratic papers, and lastly from Morrson's
concern to state all we know about the Sinking Fund
We never said we knew anything about it /; but We
did assert that rife relative to the
mismanagement of the concern These rumors are
every day talk. The true condition of the Fund has
been sealed book not only to the public but to the
Executive offices of the State, past and present Sc
we are informed Like a rotten Bank about to ex
pode the balance sheet is all that they condescend
put forth. Every one knows how often dishonest
Cashier, after having stolen his thousands can ma
age and has managed TO present fair balance sheet
and deceive President and Directors themselves
Is 1t not possible that such game may be practised
in other places!
We have been informed, and that by one of the
Commissioners, that the State is likely to be large
loser by the knavery OF individuals, especially in
Marshall and Fulton countes-where one rascal aided
another in false appraisement of lands, until their
pockets well lined, when they all decamped leav-
ing the Sinking Fund in the lurch, and MINUS pro-
baby, thousands of dollars. That such games are
practised In other counties verify believe. Then
the lands have to Oe reapprased, and agents are ap
pointed, some of whom it is understood have boast
ed, that their pay equalled Congressman's, eight
dollars dag. At all events, it is not to be denied
that late session of the Board number of agents
were appointed at heavy salaries, to traverse the
State and look after these mortgaged lands" Does
not every that these agents make good
bargains for themselves, even if the people of the
State losers!
Under the circumstances, we understand them,
deem it the especial duty of the Legislature,
and ardently urge it upon their attention, to ap-
point an AGENT, one Hea qualified, and to give him
sufficient time to examine into the matter from be-
ginning to end. He should be clothed with ample
powers to perfect the examination. Every one will
admit that the Bank examination under N. B. PAL
MER, Esq, was productive of good, excepting, per-
haps, to such interested individuals A B. Fontaine,
the tbieving Cashier. If the Fund has been man.
aged correctly, it will bear this examination, and be
all the better for it. If it has not inclined
to believe, it is a solemn duty our Representatives
the people to right matters at once and in no
way can be well done. In our opinion by the
appointment of faithful, competent and unParchas-
able AGENT, who will fearlessly and faithfully exam
inc Its affairs.

Progress OF the Rail Road.

We learn that 20 of the 30 miles of the Rail Road
from Edinburgh to Indianapolis is already graded and
ready for the mud sills and superstrucure. The BAL
ance IS much advanced, and eight weeks of good
working weather would complete the whole. There
is sufficient force the road, and every thing is
now progressing finely. One OF the most important
parts of the work is also done, viz the foundations
of the Bridge across Blue River. On this there re-
mains nothing to do but to place the superstructure
and the framing be got ready while the abut-
ments and piers are being finished. There will be no
delay on this, the work is out of reach of high
waters. There remains no doubt but that the road
will be entirely ready for use or before January,
IS47.
Much credit is due to the Company, Engineer, and
Contractors for the energy and athfness with which
all have performed their respective duties.

Cha.npaiwne--uard Cider.

1t is well known that large portion of what is
sold in the West as Champagne, is nothing but com.
mon clarified cider-a pure yankee invention. Last
week we were invited to try some just imported by
'.Dutch Charly, ''-CharIes Mayer; and we have no.
thing to say but just this That it is the only genU
inc article of champagne we have ever seen in the
State of Indiana. The lovers and connoisseurs OF
that fine and wholesome beverage may take our word
for it and if it don't prove to be the sparkling eau
de RE, set US down as no Judge. Mr.. Mayer has
made arrangements to keep full supply and we
verify believe he will do so, should the demand be
any thing reasonable. Let all try it.

"They followed the footsteps of MEDARY of the

years or more the Democracy, not only of Ohio and

0aTThe following sound and truthful remarks are
from the London Times. 1t Is to be lamented that
the Times does not apply the touchstone of its own
philosophy TO Its habual abusive treatment of Anne
RIGA, as well as TO political opponents at home But
1t is thousand times easier to preach than it is to
practise.
Whoever desires or applauds the establishment of
free form of Government ought to to be prepared
beforehand for the Inconvenience and evils, well
as the advantages and blessings, of such system.
The recent the experiment. and the smaller the
State in which it Is tried the keener will be those
personal passions and party contentious which con.
stitute at the life and peril of representative instu
tons. These sharp weapons for time welded by
unsparing and unskfu hands, experience and use can
alone blunt their edge, and adapt them to the more
cic objects of Government. The lesson which men are
slowest in learning, and which the majority OF poll
cians never learn at ALL is that of respect for their
opponents in public life. 1t is not enough for party
men to think their own leaders infalliby right, but
their antagonists must be infallibly and invariably
wrong; and there are honest men, in this and all
other free countries who live and die in this prepos
ferrous conviction. Much more are these decisions OF
faction prevalent in countries where the strife OF party
is raging for the first time in Constitutional form.
There, not content with political opposition, they
acquire the vruence Of personal aDtpathy and truth
is alike sacrificed both sides IN the zeal OF contend
ing statesmen to their rivals with obloquy.
Every morning, if are TO believe these novices In
political life the Constitution is violated and every
evening the of country sets forever. Fortunately
States are tougher and stcrner things than these poll
ticians suppose; and, though mistakes and faults
without number be committed by the rulers of man.
kind it is not often that the predictions of these
opponents are completely fulfilled, that they sink
under all the disasters they may have deserved. To
say that the world is governed with little wisdom,
an ancient and respectable truth, but it is truth
that speaks well for the larger portion of mankind.
