A rank Douglas paper, printed at Grand
junction, Tennessee, and edited by j. p.
Proyr with considerable ability, says of
Slavery Agitation:
AGITATION.
The fact that the outside pressure on the
institution Of Southern Slavery is gradually
weakening not only the North but through
out the civilized world, 10 due to the persis-
tent discussion and defence of that institu-
ton by the Southern people; in q word, it
is due to agitation. We're We to cease the
discussion, stop defending ourselves, and
leave "agi.ation" entirely to the North, the
institution would, again, in few years,
lapse into disrepute. Slavery being good
thing 10 itself, should, like the Christian re-
ligion, be aggressive. Indeed, like that same
religion, it must be aggressive in order to
live and prosper.
For one, We say, therefore, let agitation
70 on! Let it 20 on until, not only the
s'outside prsssureo 10 wholly removed, but
until the institution is planted upon every
acre Of the New World where slave labor is
profitable.

Rusch,s speech.

On Wednesday evening Union Hall was
crowded with : large audience to hear
speech from Hon. N. J. Rusch, the Republi-
can candidate for Lieutenant Governor. At
the appointed hour Mr.. Rusch came forward
and with him came the inevitable Louis
Schade OF Burlington, begging N oppor.u-
nifty to reply to Mr.. Rusch, not regarding
Mr.. Schade ass gentleman, refased to de-
bate with him unless he WAS endorsed by the
member Of the State Committee living here,
as the authorized representative OF the Dem
ocratic party. This demand was accsded to
and the discussion commenced by IN opening
speech Of an hour by Mr.. Rusch. Mr.. Schade
followed In speech Of IN hour and half,
and Mr.. r. closed with half hour speech.
We but express the prevailing sentiment OF
the large audience when No say that Mr..
Rusch acquitted himself 10 . most orsditable
manner. tic Was listened 20 with tho closest
attention. He possesses the true elements
OF popular orator--good sense, . ready
command OF language and facts, candor, elo-
quence, wit, self-possession, earnestness and
appropriate action. The Republicans are
very much pleased with his speech. Sohade
was used up handsomely. Rusch made Z

was sublimer than any picture. The vast am
phitheatre of singers, filing up the whole wes-

Banners or the rustling Of the wind in a

only cling to the outskirts of the multitude be-

THANKSGIVING DAY.

We like Thanksgiving Day Its associations
are charming 1t is pleasant to anticipate
pleasant to enjoy, pleasant to remember Then,
we all think of home, friends, and other good
things, The roasted turkey, the plum pudding
the pumpkin-p.e, our mouth waters when we
think of them. The prattlng, playful grand
children, with their joyful parents, aud the good
old grandfather and grandmother, as they gath
or together around the family board loaded with
the gifts of Providence, and with smiling faces
and keen appetites show their gratitude for the
blessings of Heaven--this is a scene one de-
lights to behold.
1t seems almost like impiety for the Governor
to request the people to render thanks to God
ON that day for blessings enjoyed for gratitude
is then spontaneous the heart is full of thanks,
though the lips should utter not word, And
the thanks uttered in public, though the place
be sacred and the lips eloquent seem cold and
formal in contrast with the spoken and unspok-
en- Thanksgiving of the family gathered on that
festal day. We have in New England been
blessed the past year with fair degree of ma
terial prosperity BUSINESS has been good, har-
vests sufficient, and common measure of health
enjoyed. The intellect has been awake. Mrs
Stowe has given us the Minister'S Wooing of a
former age, while wooings Of no less interest
ing character have transpred in every village
of the land. The theological world has not
been asleep, for Old School and New School,
Broad Church and Marrow Church, have had
their say, and the fountain of the great deep has
been stirred to its depths. Slavery too has had
a monition in the "surprise party" of John
Brown, which is warning to both friends and
foes of the institution. For intellectual activi-
ty on all the great subjects of human interest
as well as for the blessings of harvest and home
let us be thankful as the Angel must move the
waters to give them healing power. Oul
good wishes and hearty thanks to all our pat.
rons and readers, and good will to "the rest o.
mankind"

The ANALYzATIoN or THE Mass. STATE
LIQUoRs.-Dr Jackson, the State Assayer, has
been examined again before the investigating
committee of the House of Representatives on
the subject of the liquor agency, and opens up
anew chapter Of frauds and peculation on Burn
hams part. Dr. Jackson testified that on one
occasion i}rookhouse brought sample Of whs-
key to be analysed for firm in New York, and
told him Mr. Burnham would pay him ten dol
lars for the job, and wanted him to make out
his bill for twenty five dollars. The doctor re-
fused to practice this little deception, in order
to put fifteen dollars into Mr. Burnham's pocket.
When he carried in the bill he handed it to
Brookhouse, charged at ten dollars. Brook
house then asked him if he would allow him to
alter the figure | to figure =, so as to make
the amount $40, and he refused. lie then took
the doctor into Mr. Burnhams room and show
ed the bill to him, but Mr. Burnham made no
remark about it. On another occasion, the doc
tor says that Burnham told liquor dealer who
wanted some liquor analysed, that the fee would
be ten dollars. lie DIR. Jacksonl Immediately
corrected the statement, saving, 81 told YOU il
would be only five dollars" Burnham said
make five dollars out of ii? ?" 1t appeared from
DIR. Jackson's testimony that Mr. Brookhouse
had related some similar anecdotes to the grand
jury who have the agency under scrutiny. The
doctor testified that the plan pursued in regard
to Analysing liquors affords no protection what
ever to purchasers of liquors unless the agent
is honest All depends on that. If the agent
is honest, the buyer would have certain pro
lection by the analyzation. He had originally
suggested that the authorities in the towns
should make seizure of the liquors furnished to
town agents, and cause samples of them to be
analysed. Under the present arrangement the
chemist can aid the agent in purchasing the liq
uors, but can afford no protection to the consu
mers. He thought analysis especially impor-
tant in wine. He had in two instances found
the wines Of dealers in Boston poisonous. Pal,
sherry had been made of brown sherry by put
ting sugar of lead into it and afterwards pre-
cipitating it with suphuric acid to carry thu
coloring matters to the bottom. There wa
enough sugar of lead in it to render the win,
poisonous lie also revealed some of the char
acterisrics of port wine, which never saw an,
port in Spain.

Mr.. Caleb Eaton of Rochester, drover, and
said to be a deacon of some church, and whose
fifty years had not worn off the verdancy of
youth, went to Boston with drove of cattle,
and having disposed Of them, and pocketed the
proceeds, and feeling cme, strayed out from his
hotel, and hearing the strains of fiddle from a
dance celler, he descended, and was at once ac-
costed by gayly dressed young lady, known
as Mary Murphy, alias the Queen of the Qua
kers." She offered to treat him, but he, Caleb.
being S deacon at home, refused to dirk. She
then asked him to treat her, and his gallantry
overcome his repugnance to liquor, and so he
did. On feeling in his pocket for change,-lo,
his wallet was missing containing about $4,000.
He gave the alarm, and the Queen" was ar
rested, the money found in her posession-mi-
nus some 20 dollars. Caleb went home WISER
if not Il better man.
