the destruction Of Our native arts aud ui,nu a;
turrs. We ar, not thankful that mere sheer soli-
digging assun,es To take the place oi the fra
domestic handicrafis, in rectifying private and
public o-s,.- snd uIiserirs- We, therefore, viii
rot tb.uk Heaven IN company with the Myor,
taking BIS Proclamation as the urn OF incense.
The smcsr which rises from that "smells /,
"hrfven" II is odonus of party. /. hss the
stale. greasy fogo' Of Iudian Tsmmauyisn. It
cannot reach the clouds. Mr. Mgor. 1t il too
b.s,y with political fetors. 1t will fall m!asmati-
rsny. The commercial panic need not be lnSged
into ID. thanksgiving. Ii is 'oyer;" but how
Commerce in this City, Mr. Mayor, is cut down
orc hylf. TIE Treasury receipts show 1t. Snip
building is extinct on American account; not one
ve,,,l ia on the stocks. 1.-The mechauic aud
"jsborer" lave not the work to do which the
Msyor assumes Because they have been driven
By Thousands away, unable 10 get work. Tue
source of competition, immigration has ceased
Yes. Mr. Mayor. the immigration to this coun'r!
is Low not greater than the emigration or tra'e'
from IL She has ceased 10 beckon thu toil-woTn
ltborcrs and artisans of Europe 70 come hither'
Our policy has reached tie drees Of iusnitS' we
are 10 longer quoted free and happy people
The apostles OF liberty in Europe have ceased 10
point TO Us.
Moreover, Nr. Mayor, if this City we're all you
claim for her. il would i'll become us to be thank
full especially fox profting at tie cost oi our neigh
bors-of cpioypg trade at the expense of their III
du,try. The recent revolutions III Penny yl'anti
ard New .Jersey-,o what were they manly due
The very want Of the work and prosperity which
yo, Mr. Mayor assume TO be so eliminating IN
this City. Ask Pennsylvania about her coal and
iron. Ask Philadelphia about her manufactures.
Ask Paterson. Newark and Trenton about their IN
dustrisl prosperity at this moment. Ask SiasSs-
chusetts. She will respond BY such advertise
ments as that which fad IN the Boston Journals,
offering for ssle the Bay State Mills (Which cost
over two millions Of dollars) in Lawrence-a vast
establishment f0r making both cotton and woo'en
goods consisting OF thuty buildings OF brick and
nine of wood, together with the very large, very
valuable and very perfect stock of machinery, co'-
erins over sixteen of flooring, by which, II in
full operation, 800 hands would BE- employed, tho
machinery being capable Of manufacturing $500
go worth of goods per yesr. But bal as 1t Is
that the model wooden mill in Massachusetts should
be- sold under the hammer, it is better than the
same interest in our State. With boundless oppor
tunites for that manufacture, We have not single
mill left und, sroyed by the policy which tho Mayor
sustans-not one, Mr.. Mayor
Again, what in the burst about " the Union
do you mean, saying that by it we "are secured
" in our civil and religious liberty, and the right to
90 worship our Creator according to the dictates OF
"our own consciences"l Mere fiddle faddle this,
Mr.. Mayor. The weaker echo of weak Fourth Of.
Julyisms. Since when did tho Union secure us
civil and religious liberty The white people Of
the colonies had that OF their own right before
the first attempt at Union in l77i and the inya-
sion of these rights by the King of Great Britain
brought about the severance of l776. The States
had the same liberty through the war; They had
it, too, from 's3 to 80. The Union secured noth-
ing Of the kind, Mr.. Mayor 1t was simply an
economical arrangement for national purposes. Ii
Mr. Mayor will remember lis studies he will find
that New-York, In l7S7, considered herself quite
able to secure her own liberties. James Buchanan
talked the same stuff when he passed through this
City but the historical facts against it then as
they are now. We have had enough of technical
Cnion.saying. For the love OF common sense, don't
let it be dragged into Thanksgiving rhetoric. Let
the Thanksgiving day come: prayers, sermons,
turkeys cranberries and lollty. But spare Us the
decayed rubbish Of pseudo-political economy and
obsolete politics in connection with il.
