We did not suppose there could be two opin-
ions concerning Mr.. Burnham's retirement
from the State Liquor Agency. But was ia
mistake to entertain that supposition. The
Boston Bee defends him with unhesitating
zeal. That paper says =
"Ever since the agent was appointed he has
been pursued with a malevolence and vindic-
tiyeness that has no parallel in the history of
political and official tenure of office The end
Of it wW ultimately be the entire abolition or recon
struction Of the present prohibitory laW and for
movement to this end those instrumental in
this uproar ought to prepare themselves"
Here is something like threat, which
is nowise creditable to anybody. We shall
all be some years older before such
movement to avenge Mr.. Burnham becomes
very startling. AS to the "malevoence and
vindictiveness," they do not exist 1t was
something quite different from either of these
ugly passions which constrained so many-peo-
pie to deem that gentleman an unsuitable per-
son to have charge of the State Liquor Agen-
cy. The worse thing the public has ever
heard about Burnhanl stands written in his
book on the "Hen Fever" The Boston Tran
script expresses an opinion relative to the mat
ter as follows =
"The resignation of Mr.. Geo. p. Burnham,
the State Liquor Agent, will give universal
satisfaction. When he was appointed to the
sfice, the great mass of the Republicans felt as
much displeasure as the Fifth Avenue Demo-
Gratis OF New York did when President Blu
chanan selected Isaiah Rynders for the honor
able and responsible post of United States
Marshal OF that district There are several
more men appointed by Governor Banks. now
in the public service, that the Republican par.
ty would gladly see retire 10 private life. Mr..
Burnham's example, it is hoped, will not be
lost on them"
The transcripts suggestion in regard to
Several more men" should not escape notice.
1t touches point on which more is thought
and felt, and whispered in private, than likes
to make itself heard of very loudly in public
places. There are Several more men" whose
unftness for the places they hold is undeniable !;
not many, perhaps, but a few certainly, WHO
do no credit to the appointing power. And
there are also a few who contrive TO reflect
upon the Governor their own personal unwor.

agents, his court pages his "camp keepers "

ably placed in the game; and nothing but tn,
public service might suffer from association
with them. AS the case stands, they are m

can be made to seem responsible for their prom

A PROCLAMATION

For Day Of Public Thanksgiving and Praise
In every age of the world it has been a Gus
tom of the people to celebrate, with Pagan or
Christian ceremony, the bounties and pleas
ures of the Autumnal season. The founders
Of our beloved Commonwealth who at every
step in their career devoutly acknowledged
their dependence upon Divine Providence
we're accustomed, at this period of the year,
when "the hand OF Autumn tinged every fer
tile branch with blooming gold and bushes
like the MORN" when their fArners were filled
with plenty and their hearts with hope, to Gel
citrate, as a religious duty and pleasure, with
Public Thanksgiving and Praise, the goodness
OF God in securing to them the bounties of the
harvest; His untailing support and protection
in seasons OF public trial, and the Christian
faith which he impaired to them through His
Divine word and the mission of His Son, the
Redeemer of the world.
In pursuance of this ancient and Christian
example, by and with advice and consent of
the Council, have appointed, and hereby do
appoint, THURSDAY, the TwENTY-FoURTH
DAY OF NOVEMBER NEXT, a day of PUBLIC
THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE and invite the
people Of the Commonwealth, on that day, to
suspend secular v0catiOns, and to assemble in
their accustomed places of public worship
that we may acknowledge our dependence up
VII AuilBHIy uOuJ anu SOllClU MS pTOleCllOn
and mercy for those who are in afiiiction and
distress; that we may offer up our thanks for
the rich bounties of the year, for the preser-
walton of peace the blessings of public health
the advantages of general education; the in
estimable privileges OF civil and religious lber-
ty for the marvellous protection, direction,
support, and prosperity, which He has vouch-
sated our people; and especially for the Divine
compensatons lie has established for all ine-
qualities in the conditions of men, and for the
Christian faith and hope that sustains them in
the trials OF life and in the hour of death.
Given at the Council Chamber, in Boston, this
twenty-eighth day of October, in the year OF
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
titty-nine, and OF the Independence of the
United States the eighty-lourth.

In reply to the official notification that he
had been re-nominated for Senator by the Re-
publican Central District, Hon. Dexter F.
Parker writes as follows -
BosToN, Oct. 81, 1859.
J. D. Bald,rin, ESg-Respected Sir: Your
favor of the 18th inst, informing me of my
unanimous nomination by the Republicans of
the Worcester Central District, as their candi-
date for Senator, came duly to hand, and
hasten to acknowledge its receipt, and through
you to express to the delegates that composed
the convention, over which you presided, my
most profound gratitude for the honor they
tender me, accompanied, as it is, with the evil
dence OF an unanimity to me most unexpected,
yet for that reason, still the more gratifying.
This new favor from the Republicans ca the
Central District comes to me unasked and un,
solicited, in any way or manner, directly or in
directly. Under these circumstances, | most
promptly accept it, and the issues that
attach to it, assuring those that tender
it to me, that if elected, l will, by strict and
assiduous attention to the duties it will devolve
on me, endeavor to merit an honor the obliga-
tons of which can only be requited by inces-
SAINT labor in the details of legislation and by
answering, unf1inching fidelity to the princi.
plies of the Republican party Conscious,
therefore, of the obligations that accompany
the acceptance of the nomination, and shrink
ing from none of the responsibilities and labors
that an election may bring upon me, | leave
the result in the hands of constituency of
whose magnanimity, generosity, and zeal, l
have SO often been the grateful recipient. Be
pleased to accept for yourself and those whose
organ you are, the assurance of my warm re-
gard and most heartfelt esteem.
Respectfully yours, d. f. PARKER.

ernor to succeed Mr.. Burnham, in charge of
the State Liquor Agency. The nomination
was laid before the Council yesterday and con-
frmed Immediately by unanimous vote. We
think it would not be easy to find man whose
personal character and general reputation for
integrity and good Judgment would secure
more confidence in his fitness for the place.

CALEB S, FULLER, Esq, for many years a
popular conductor on the Norwich and Wor-
cester road, died at his residence in Worces-
ter, Saturday, Oct. 20. Mr.. Fuller was, we
believe, with one exception, the oldest railroad
conductor in the country. He was conductor
of the first train that ever run on this Boston
and Worcester road AT the opening of the
Norwich roHd, he was employed to take charge
of the depot in this city, in which position his
experience in railroading was of great value
to the Railroad Company. He was afterwards
appointed conductor on the road, and filed
that position for about fifteen years, during
which time he made hosts of friends among
the travelling community, and discharged
his duties to the perfect satisfaction of the
Railroad Company Bulletin.

MILFORD is the most thriving town in the
county, judged by the increase of inhabitants
and the new enterprises in building, &C., there,
within the past year. They claim to have
added from 1000 to 800 to their population
within twelve months. No less than eighty
houses have been erected during the past sea-
son, with a large number of stores. In the
upper village, the most conspicuous cdifce,
just completed, on the corner of Main and Ex-
change streets, is the new brick block of Aaron
Claiin, in the upper portion of which is ca
pacious hall, with stores in the first story
Seth Carpenter has commenced the erection of
large building for stores, with hall, &C.. above,
on the corner Of Main and Spring streets.
In the lower village the Masonic Hall build
ing is fine looking new ediice, erected the
past summer. Three new school-houses, one
of them very large one, have also been put
up during the season just closed.
