The Secret Ballot.

1t will be recollecied that the reform party
of Massachusetts passed an act at the last ses-
sion Of the Legislature providing that ballots
should be enclosed in envelopes and sealed,
before being deposited in the ballot box. The
object was to counteract the intimidating in
fuence that capital sometimes exercises over
labor. ], was known that thousands Of votes
in that State were under the complete dictation
of capital, and to enable the laborer to vote his
own opinions, rather than his employers, the
secret ballo, was established. The result of
the election shows that it works admirably-for
in the large places, such as Boston and Lowell,
where the tyranny of capital is more effectual-
ly seen, the democratic vote is largely in
creased Il is well known that the whig party
entertain the idea that those whom they en-
ploy are beholden TO them, and consequently
bound to regard their interests, as they spec
iously term tin exercising the right of suf-
frage; this idea is not confined to the wing party
of Massachusetts, although it doubtless finds a
better field to operate in there than in many of
the other States. Nor does the party hesitate
to avow this principle. The New Bedford
Mercury, just before the recent election, came
out with the idea in full, under the following
adEoniton to the wings se sf
"N is not proper 10 aid, trade Nth, or EN-
PLOY men ,pho piN rote against your inter
esis." ..-..-
Holding this idea, it is very natural to sup
pose that the secret ballot would be very OBJ
noxious to the whig party. The idea was
originally hooted at as ,idicuious-,hen OPP
posed as piece Of extravaganza; the shafts Of
satire have been turned against it, but all in
vain. Ouce established, the true sentiment of
the State is got al, and found TO be against
,rhiggery.
The operation of the secret ballot is said to
have been shown by comparing the result of
the ballot upon The question of constitutional
reform which was submitted 10 the people at
the same election, but the votes upon which
were not required 10 be sealed mp, with those
to which the law applied. The reform ques-
ton was democratic measure, but strongly
opposed by the wings, and it was defeated, by
the party that was shown to be in the minority
as 10 each of the other results. Had the secret
ballot law applied to this question, no doubt it
would have been carried.

Meeting Of Congress.

The irstssession of the thrty-second Con-
gress, will commence on Monday next. The
democrats having abundant strength in the
House, the prospects are that the organization
will be effected speedily, and the wheels Of
government soon be set in motion. As the
wings were unable to disturb the democratic
policy under which the government was NOV
ing so successfully, the last session, and as
they are farther off from accomplishing such
a result now, the probability is that things will
go on about as they have been going. If We
mistake not, some Legislation will be found
necessary in regard TO our foreign relations
especially with the Spanish government, in re-
lation to affairs in Cuba. -s-. ..H b.. ...a.
The recent manifestations of public opinion,
through the elections, in relation TO the Com
promise adjustment of the slavery question,
made at the last session, are clearly against
any further agitation of this subject, and we
trust that all attempts to open the matter again
will be unsuccessful. If so, we may calculate
upon a harmonious and short session just
what the people demand, and have right tc
expect.

THANKSGIVING.

To-day will be witnessed the sublime spec
tacTe of nearly an entire people, stretching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, united
in observing a day of THANKSGIVING AND
PRAISE, in accordance with the good old Gus
tom originated by our Puritan fathers. This
arrangement was brought abou, by an act OF
the General Assembly Of Ohio, at its last ses-
sion, by which the Governor of the State was
requested to correspond with the Executives of
The several States of the Union, in order TO
procure the appointment of the same day in
each State for Thanksgiving cerem onies. All
Of The States but Vermont and South Carolina,
if we mistake not, have acqniesced in the ar
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the day may well be
considered as a NATIONAL THANKSGIVING DAY.
What can be more grand to contemplate than
this-ihe union of the inhabitants of our vast
confederacy, atthe same moment, in rendering
THANKS aud pRAlsEto the Almighty dispenser
of all good, for the manifold blessings of
which they have been the recipients the past
year The appropriateness of the act should
not be lost sight of-for what class of people
in the world have been the subjects, within the
last year, Of so much individual and national
prosperity, as the American people! We have
truly been prospered sin our basket and in our
store'--the labors of the husbandman have
been generously rewarded-our commercial
prosperity enhanced-our national fame aug
mented, and we sincerely believe, our bonds Of
union more firmly cemented than erer, within
the last twelve months. Not the least of onr
causes of gratitude as people, has been our
exemption from great calamities within the
past year, both physical and political
Let US, then, in view of these considerations,
abstain from our usual avocaiions on this day,
and unite in fervent and sincere devotion 10 the
Throne of Grace, invoking Divine Providence
that all causes of dissension and dissatisfaction
that may have been engendered, from appa-
rent conflict of interests, may be stayed and
that we may continue under the same kind in
fuences which have hitherto supported and
prospered us, and without which our indepen-
dcnce could never have been achieved, nor the
Union Of the States preserved-a thriving and
prosperous people still, granting federation
in religious and political principles-freedom
of thought, and freedom of speech, and the

Severe Storm.

We have rarely, if ever, been visited by
more severe storm of wind and rain, than pre-
vailed on Friday last. 1t commenced showing
about O'Clock in the morning, which soon
after turned to rain, and fell in torrents during
the remainder of the day. and up to late hour
at night. The water in the river on Saturday
overfowed the wharves, but no material dam
age was done; and we have heard of none in
this vicinity. The Portland Argus says:
Our barber was the haven of a number of
vessels that run in for a shelter. There were
also several large vessels ready for sea. They
rode the gale out safely. excepting an Eastern
schooner, with wood, which drifted into Union
wharf, and was chatting pretty hard The ship

afternoon, showing signal of distress. Pre-
parations were making to go to her. The John
