FOR A DAY OF

PUBLIC THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE,
Midst the countless changes with which

Let US on that day, assembled at The house
OF worship, with fullness of heart and earn
estness of spirit, offer our thanks to the Most
High, for healtli-for the richly garnered
stores of the husbandman-for The bounti-
full rewards OF labor in all the departments
Of civilized lle-for the prosperity of our
commerce-for our peaceful relations TO all
the nations of the earth-for the blessings of
universally difTused education; but above
all, and controlling all, for the benign infu-

Let His name be praised that our lot has
been cast in this glorious republic, in an age
of unequalled progress in those arts and im-
proyements which tend TO melIorate The con-
dition and perfect the destiny of the human
race-when the rights of individual man are
beginning TO be understood and conceded
when communities are casting off the shak-

their right of equality amongst the nations

Third District.

We have before announced the willingness
of the two candidates for the office of elector
in the third district to submit the question in
dispute to arbitration, one however, selecting
the State committee, and the other the two
electors at large as the umpires.
We are pleased to learn that the controversy
is now entirely settled, by the magma nmity of
Gen. Prescott, he having withdrawn in favor
of Mr.. Fuller, who is thus made the candidate
for elector in that district. Every democrat
in the State, we are sure, will heartily rejoice
at the result. The eight electoral votes of
Maine are now safe for Pierce and King
THE New CoMET.-'The comet recently dis
covered by Mr.. PRISON was examined on the
evening of the 18th from the Cambridge OBJ
servatory. 1t is still invisible to the naked
eye, but in the telescope appears quite bright
having good nucleus and a very perceptibe
tail of about one-half degree. Its general
course appears 10 be to the southwest, at the

Put that and that Together.

Gen. Scott is a pattern of consistency. In
one of his speeches in the catch-voie tour
West, he said -"Oh, that rich brogue, how
] love TO hear it.'' In Madison, Ind, it be-
came proper to tickle the Germans, and he
got off the following rich paragraph:
l have also heard several times since |
landed on your shores, the rich brogue of
the Irish, and the foreign accent of the Ger
man citizens. They are welcome to my ear,
for they remind me of many we'll fought
and hard won field on which have been
well supported by sons Of Germans and of
Ireland, and never shall cease TO feel CRATE
full 10 that portion of my countrymen for The
aid they have rendered us, the. native born
citizens, on the field of battle. Il
Now if Scott's previous declarations are
TO pass tor anything but gas, this loving the
Irish and Germans so well all of sudden, is
very consistent. Put that and that together,
and take him to be an honest man, meaning
what he says, and there is more difficulty in
the case. For instance, in his instructions
to his recruiting officer during the Mexican
war, he said:
"YOU ARE INSTRUCTED NOT TO
ENLIST FOREIGNERS, FOR THE BAT
TALON OF ST. PETRUCIA HAS
TAUGHT US THAT FOREIGNERS
CANNOT BE TRUSTED"
On another occasion, just after an election
where foreign voters showed their hands
pretty effectually, he declares of himself
"FIRED WITH INDIGNATION T
rushed into parlor of the Aston House, and
sat down with two friends to draw up con-
stituIion FOR A NATIVE AMERICAN
PARTY"
The fact is, the General is trying blarney
on the Irish and Germans. lie is after their

ScorT's SPEECHES. The Augusta (Ga.)
Sentinel,-a whig paper, by the way,-thus
speaks of Gen. Scott's speech at Cleaveland,
=. g 1t is such a complete compound of Stiffness
and low demagogueism, and so thoroughly
mixed, that we are wholly unable to determine
which predominates. Indeed, it would re-
quire all the powers of the most skilful an
alyst to decide. Without, however, setllng
this question, we may remark, that this speech
has more thoroughly satisfied US of the total
unftness, nay, unworthiness of Gen. SCOTT for
the high station 10 which his inordnate and
unchastened ambition aspires."

THE NATIcK MURDER. A correspondent.
at Natck thus aludes 10 the discovery OF a
bloody shirt in The woods at Natick, under
date of October 1lth:
"Whle several Young men were engaged
in picking chesnuts yesterday, near the spot
where Casey, the supposed murderer Of The
Taylors, was arrested, they discovered in a
hollow tree bloody shirt, which doubtless
belongs to him. This believe is the only
thing in addition TO the evidence already be-
fore the public, that has come TO light,
which seems to have any bearing on the
case. The house where the murder was
committed is now unoccupied the furniture
has been all removed; and the four orphan
children are living with their grandfather in
Sherbune. They have been left entirely
destitute, and are most truly objects of COM
miseration and charity. Dos. Irav.

In the character OF Gen. Scott there is
much, very much to commend and admire.
But the mischief is, there IS WEAKNESS in
all he says or does about the Presidency. I'm

1910, he wrote ,grutuitous later, making
himself candidate, in icliich all SORTS Of an

The Statesman says the Democrats have
elected their State officers by about TWENTY
THOUSAND majority The wings made no
special gains, save in Hamilton County, where
the Democrats were divided. They have al
so elected as many members of Congress as
they have in the present Congress, and proba-
bly, more, for the wings concede they have lost

not discuss the subject. We confess we have
no desire to 60 back into antiquity to discuss

dogma of protection is not put forth by any
wing papers in the present canvass, except
such as are forever tagging behind in the dust
of exploded theories. The present democratic
tariff affords as much protection as the more
enlightened wings want. AS to a high pro-
tectiye tariff being of advantage to the ship
builders and ship-owners of Bath, they know
better. The Tribune can find scarcely one
intelligent ship-owner to substantiate such au
opinion. On the other hand, they have been
