II is but few days now until it will
be decided whether New York is to have
a Maine Law, or follow the example Of
Ohio. 1t is thought that the prospectS
very fair in New York, as there is gen.
eral loosening of the !rammels Of party
politics. There appears to be no great
political question before the people of
that State this fall, and there is general
disruption of political affinities. People
generally feel their freedom 10 vote as
they please, and we trust enough will
please to vote in favor Of the Maine Law
to secure il. If the Maine Law could be
submitted directly to the people TOR q
passage, it would, beyond doubt, be
carried by majority of one hundred
thousand votes. But in voting for lsgis-
lators, there are SO many political in.
trigpes, and SO many party animosities
dragged into the arena, that the proba-
bility of the passage of a prohibitory law
will be rendered somewhat more remote.
However, taking into consideration the
mixed-up state Of political affairs there,
if the temperance men are active and
efficient, a Maine Law Legislature will,
in all probability, be elected. B.i1'

The Annual Session Of the Graud Di-
vision. Of the Sens Of Temperance Of
Ohio, trahspired last week at Delaware.
For several years past we have not had
such delightful meeting Of this I'M
portant body. All who were in attend.
ance seemed to be animated with the
same spirit, and all were rejoicing in the
signs Of the times, as indicated by The
late election in the State, and by, the re-
port Of the Grand Scribe. The Order is
now in a sounder, healthier and more
prosperous condition than for several
years last past. The debt which one
year ago was resting upon the Grand
Division, impairing its usefulness and
almost threatening its existence, has
been paid off BY the receipts during the
year. G. 5. Bremigam has been indie
fatigable in his devotion to the interests
Of the Order, and his reelection by an
almost unanimous vote, shows that his
efforts were appreciated by his brothers.
The new Ritual is now in use in this
jurisdiction, and we are glad TO know
gives very general satisfaction. Those
who have tried it most like il best, which
is an excellent testimonial in its favor.
We will not give sketch Of the busi-
ness transacted, as the proceedings will
be published at length in our next num-
Der. After the G, D. had closed lis ses-
sion, three hours were spent in hearing
brief accounts OF the state Of the temper
ance cause, and incidents of the late
election canvass. Not single member
entertained the least doubt of the ulti.
mate and speedy realization Of our hopes
in securing law Of prohibition. This
was regarded as a fixed fact; and tile
only point to be determined is BY what
means the end can be most readily and
surely attained. Great fears were ex-
pressed that the next Legislature would
enact some law which, while il would
not insure the purpose, might satisfy
portion Of the temperance community,
and Tins divide bur forces and imnair

Mr.. CLARK:-The temperance menin
this community are not discouraged BY
the recent defeat they have sustained.
They all appear to view themselves as
soldiers for the war, and are determined
not to give up the ship. Our ministers
portray, in the boldest coIors, the base
conduct Of those temperance men who,
through party feelings and preiudices,
voted against the prohibitory ticket. We
are not discouraged. There is yet a
great work for our Order to do, and it is
hoped that every Son of Temperance will
resolve to do his share,

William Medig. Governor Of the
State of Ohio;
The General Assembly Of Ohio, on
the 14th day Of March, 1858, adopted
a resolution requesting the Governor
to designate some day Of the present
year, TO be observed throughout the
State as a day Of Public Thanksgiving,
and for the purpose Of producing uni,
formity in the matter, requiring him TO
correspond with the Executive Au-
thorities Of tie other States Of the
Union, upon the subject.
Now, therefore, I, William Medill,
Governor Of the State Of Ohio, in obe-
dience to said resolution, do, by these
presents, set apart and designate the
last Thursday in November next, be-
ing the 24th day Of said month, to be
observed as a day Of Thanksgiving and
Prayer, throughout this State,
Another year is drawing to- q close.
The people Of Ohio have been laid un-
der peculiar obligations. "Seed time
and harvest" appeared in due season;
the earth has yielded an increased
abundance, and labor and industry
have been crowned with more than
their accustomed reward. No fatal
scourge, or civil discord, has inter
vened to excite alarm, or retard the
progress Of our prosperity. An unu-
sual degree Of health has prevailed,
and peace, order and tranquility, reign
throughout our borders.
It is eminently becoming an intelli-
gent and Christian people to turn their
minds toward the source of all these
blessings, to acknowledge their de-
pendence on His goodness and mercy,
and to express, in some suitable and
appropriate manner, the grateful emo
lions Of their hearts.
+ Iwould, therefore, most respestful-
ly, but earnestly recommend to the
good people Of Ohio, that, laying
aside their ordinary occupations, and
refraining from every Unemployment that
is inconsistent with the exercise Of re-
ligious observances, and sincere dis
charge Of the important and sacred du-
ty suggested in the resolution referred
to, they assemble in their usual places
of public worship, on the day afore-
said, and give thanks to Almighty
God, the Creator and Ruler Of all
things, for these, and the many other
manifestations ofhis Providence, with
which, as Nation, State, and People,
we have been so eminently favored.

Seal Of the State Of Ohio, at the City
