Massachusetts has appointed the goth day
of November as day of thanksgiving.
The Baltimore Sun suggests that The
Governors of other States in the custom
of keeping such day, should selec, the

so that thanksgiving day may be uniform
throughout the Union. The suggestion
is a good one and:we trust will be carried
out. We respectfully lay it before our
own Executive for his consideration. The
day will then be. what il ought always 10
be, naIioual jubilee. and The whole
