THANKSGIVING DAy.--lt Ii with some reluctance
that make mention of this day in the connexion
which we intend TO, because we think II belongs to
our worthy Mayor to give II public announcement
We hope that the first appearance Of this day here,
win not be its last They who reside in the District
are, as II were, separate people: they claim the
right to make their public officers and in this
respect are on an equality with any Of the States.
But shall we neglect custom which Is so general
In its character-one that has In view 30 worthy an
opecti We hope that our citizens have not forgot
ten the pleasant day which last Thanksgiving day
was For our own part, we enjoyed il much, and,
indeed the transactions of that day will fling around
our recollection Impressions which will never be fol-
gotten-the groanngs OF our old family table with all
the Injuries Of the season, the huge pot pies fat
oysters &C, Feeling deep sympathy for this old
table around which we had gathered SO many times,
and in endeavorng to relieve IL of some of its load
the groarling came upon us and this Is the impress
sion which received. Many of the States have ap
pointed and fixed upon tho day (25th instantly
When Thanksgiving shall rise,
Like sweet incense TO the Skies
The country friends have gone SO far MS 10 single
out the old gobbor and goose which shall grace their
tables on that occasion, and going the rounds
gathering up their friends to partake thereof that
louder shout of Thanksgiving may go up from each
habitation. We want to give thanks too, but we
want to give them in common with our own citizens
but no day has yet been announced-not a word has
been said about II by the Authorities. We are sure
that II is the general expression of the citizens to
have day set apart for that purpose All who have
said anything on the subject seem to regret very
much that no provision has yet been made for
Thanksgiving We have no doubt that the Mayor
will very shortly announce the day.

A New Now TOWARDS AN INTERNATIONAL Cory
RronT.-The last number Of Blaclwood's Magazine
contained article written bya citizen OF the United
States, says the New York Mirror which was COPY
rghted here previous to Its publication In that peri
odical in Edinburgh This, of course, prevents ills
publication here by the republishers of Blackwoods
Magazine, without the permission of the pfopretors
Of that work. The article is proiessedy letter to
some person on the other side of the Atlantic, who
had requested the author to send him one of the
American reprints of Blackwood's Magazine. II is
written In free dashing style, and sets forth pecu-
iarities of the republshing or as some call IT, the
piratical book publishing business. We regard this
step In authorship as very important move. If II
should be repeated il will eifecually stop the bust
ness OF reprinting English Magazines and greatly
benefit our native periodicals, by removing a most
unequal competition with the unpaid literary labors
OF English writers, which the propretors Of our
magazines have now to ,ontend against The Brit
ish periodicals now reprinted here are Blackwood's
Magazine, the Quarterly, Westminster, Edinburgh,
and North British Reviews. The proprietors oil
these literary journals have only to publish an art-
Gle from an American writer in each number, which
they can easily do, TO prevent their property from
being pirated. They would also, by such means,
give greater interest to their works, and promote
their circulation TO considerable extent in this coun-
country as Blackwood's Magazine could be more
cheapy reprinted than imported; and the propretors
could make such arrangements they saw fit for its
circulation in the United States, either by selling the
right Of republication by establishing an agency
here.
We understand that steps have already been taken
for supplying the Quareres with articles from this
side, which will prevent their republication This
will be the means of opening new and profitable
field of employment toiour literary men, and will also
afford an Opportunity for the discussion of subjects
which are tabooed In our own literary journals The
effect of this arrangement will be in the highest de-
gree beneficial in many ways, and we trust will be
the means OF opening the eyes of the nation to the
justice and necessity Of IN International Copyright
Law. We do not know who the author of the article
in lakewood is but he is deserving of the thanks OF
the literary men on both sides Of the Atlantic for his
ingenuity in suggesting plan which is likely to re-
suit so beneciay to the of literature and good
morals.

ST. PETERS, October B, l647.
Messrs. EpIToRs; find in the National Intelli-
gencer, OF the 3lst August an editorial paragraph,
headed, "The Other Side of the Story introduce
ing statement copied from the Montreal Herald, IN
which the late gross violation of our soil by British
force from Red River is made light of and the anus
of the transaction attempted to be thrown upon two
half-breeds "who probably did not give themselves
much trouble to consider on which side they made
their prisoners, &c After your exposition OF the az
fair and your assertion hut the facts represented
by your correspondent, could be established by the
testimony of respectable men, II would seem hardly
courteous in the Intelligencer thus ppanuy dis
miss question involving an outrage OF most fla
grant character. have been subscriber to the In
elgencer for years. and have great respect for It's
venerable editors but must say that In ,eir desire
to smooth national asperites, they sometimes forget
that their own country may occasionally be right and
John Bull not wholly immaculate. Why is il that,
in the present case they espouse the cause of the
Hudson Bay Company, before they have ascertaned
the truth iasity of the charge brought against its
ofiicials2 The assertion of an American citizen OF
high standing and character based upon personal
knowledge, should certainly carry some weight with
IL even in the eyes of the editors of the Inteigen-
Ger. The Hudson Bay Company claim, and exercise
sole civil and criminal jurisdiction over Prince Ru-
perts Land lheir own PAID Judges and magistrates,
only three years SINCE tried and sentenced criminal

cnIed accordingly. 1t portion of the constabu-
larry force of this very company that crossed into the
American territory, two three miles from the fine,
and there, near the dwelling of an American citizen,
and in defiance Of his representations, seized upon
two deserters from the British garrison at Fort Gar
ry and delivered them to the commanding officer 1t
is absurd to talk about the boundary line not being
known. There is not half-breed or Indian at Red
River who does not know where the exact limit is
between the British and American possessions The
importance of timely check to al encroachments
upon our northernrontier be appreciated only by
one residing in the country. Lett but be supposed
that our Government is unable to protect its citizens
against aggressions from abroad and the great re-
strain upon the wild savages Of that region viii be
removed and many valuable lives jeopardized As for
the huge monopoly yclept the Hudson Buy Compa-

brought to light ere long, which will clearly evince
that in the desire OF its members to treasure

parallel except in the proceedings OF the rulers of the

In Eight Plates, by George Cruiekshank.
We have received from Messrs BRooKE & SHIL-
LINGroN the enterprising booksellers and agents at
the corner Of IL street and Penn avenue, series
Of plates illustrating the effects of the use of the
"Bottle"-yery much in the style Of the celebrated
Hogarth, the powerful effect of whose paintings and
illustrations must be acknowledged by all. The
moral inculcaed by the above mentioned plates, from
the Introduction of the bottle for the first time when
the husband induces the wife just to take drop"
to the finale, murder and the mad-housc" is excel
lent-and form one Of the best practical lectures on
Temperance we have ever seen.

ExTRADIrIoN CAsE.-Important Decision. TIT will
be remembered that one Lucian N. Metzgar u French
notary, convicted OF forgery in France was arrested
in New York about year since, at the requisition o.
the French Government, under the new treaty. Hi
was released from the local commitment, and rear
rested at the instance Of the U. States Court when
Judge Bates decided to give him up and an order to
that effect was signed by the President and Secretary
Of State. The case was then appealed to the Supreme
Court Of New York, and after lying several months
in prison, Metzgar has been released by Judge Ed
monds, who, In able argument, decides that Metzgars
crime, as judged by the laws Of France, does not
amount to forgery according to our statutes. Also
that the treaty did not ITSELF and as no act
Congress had been passed to realize Its provision
there was no power that could detan the prisoner in
custody, and send him out of the country for trial
and he must be discharged

NEXT PREsrpEscy.-We take the following re,
marks concerning the next Presidency from the In.
diana State Journal, breathing a commendabl,
spirit:
That diversity OF opinion should exist among
me wings In relation TO the selection of their candf.
date Is TO be expected Tits for the very purpose oil
reconciing such differences that National Conven-
uon becomes necessary.
Whatever may b. our own opinion as 10 the pro-
per person TO be run by the Wings shall hot deny
our Wing friends the privilege Of expressing heir
choice through the medium OF our columns, so that
y DC done in the right spirit. In no instance shall
we publish anything against those whose names will
DC submitted TO the consideration OF National Con
yention. No Wing should place himself in position
where II may become necessary for him to take back
AFTER nomination, what he may have said or writ
ten previous to its being made.
~, The desire of every ought to be, that the
wing on whom the most votes can be concentrated
should be nominated. We must take man irio can
oe elected; and the only question with isWho is
that man. We believe il to be Gen. Taylor. Should
the Convention however whose province 1t is to
decide make any other choice, paper in the
Try viii give that choice more decided and jealous
support than will the State Journal"

that she did not want merely because she could gel

brought home an old castoffdoor-plate, with name
engraved on it.
