The american Flag Outraged."-The

so-caled outrage on the American flag, which
consisted in The Mexican authorities taking a
returned Mexican officer, who hal been ban
ished by Santa Anna, ou, of an American
vessel while she lay at Campeachy, Mexico
The American flag has survived many "oul.
RACES" aud we expect it will still wave in
spite OF this. Those who make the mosl
fuss about its being outraged, are generally
the foremost, nnder its cover, in acts of ag-
gression, which, if successful, would destroy
all respect for it. The Government OF the
United States has power to pro,ec, our flag
from outrage, and, conscious of tina, power
and its own recitude, it need not stand like

without a,ttibuling It's power and glory 10 the

The setting apart day Of Thanksgiving is
4 modern custom in Pennsylvania, and in
many parts of The county liule attention il
yet paid 10 it. We hope to see it more wide
ly honored, because if properly observed we
shall be exalted thereby. There is much
