New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1859-11-24

from dear old New England the dear old anniversary,
with it, fsstiv,y it, reunions its mirth, and over and
above ALL lie lious recognition Of that Great Provi-
denee which whether it sends g1ief glee, send
all for our Lett and for the best of all brethren
How the beloved spirit of the Observance has spread
from that little sterile ocean-ashed shore of Plymouth
How it has expended sturdy men Of sturdy hearts
have ourneyed far from the ancient family altar from
the old farm from the old Massachusetts, town. TO find
in fesh fields and passres new, unresped harvess OF
human enterprise and novel methods of human exer-
ton. II is pleasant TO think how to-day in twenty-five
States Of this great Confsderacy, from old Maine 70
lew Kansas there will be innocent fes'ivy and social
glee-the parent embracing the ong-sbsent chad-the
tears Of mothers taking TO Their hearts their 1derng
boys-the bosterous mirth of pancy-the well-sproad
board-tte tender reniniscepce the dance, the family
chorus of love and happiness Surely this thought OF
all this innocent pessure-the possibility which it sug
pess 10 all of uncon animated and ennobling enjoyment
the very history of the day, will deter every right
feeling and righ-hinking from Decorating II by
lew excess and the indulgence of vulgar appettes.
We speak Of desecraton Surely, that cannot be too
strong a word to apply to much of the mad reyel,
the stupid excess, the rotous demonstrations which
Thank sqiying IL supposed 20 sanction. Would that
every man who reads this humble remonstrance may
remember something Of the origin of the day-sone-
thing of that protecting Heaven wnch guided the shat
tered MAY flower with her noble band the weller
ing Misunderstanding Of that pous foriitude which
sustained the Plymouth Pilgrims through that grim
season Of cold starvation, Of every deprivation
something Of the muscular vrility which in sorrow
and suffering sustains the infancy Of empres-some
thing of that resoute will which dees ell the ADVERSE
ties Of nature and proves all coming ages that the
Spirit 10 nightier thsp the Aesh-something Of thatove
Of liberty which sterly sent the proudes Monarch Of
England to the boch--somehng Of that resolue will
which says that right il right and wrong is wrong, and
will not depart from ts faith for King, Pope or En-
reror. Such thoughts will chasen and humanize the
Observance Of the dsy-euch feelings will lead every
msn to spend it, where alone it can he worhly spent
in the bosom of hs family, with the dear wife and the
beloved children around hminnocently, purely, low
inely, humaiely.
With thi little remembrance we bid our readers JOY
Of THANKSGIVING DAY, wishing for all the highe't
manly womanly, childy pleasure wishing that when
tc-morrows may rise, it may rise upon recolec-
tons so pure 30 nvigoratng, and holy, that they
viii be " a possession forever to their possessor.
THANKSGIVING IN TIE CITY.
For some DAYS past the eastward trains and steam
boss hsve borne from this city thousands of our c
gems all bound for The old bomestesds and patern1
fresides of Now England But yes erday the rush
vac tremendous. Cars and steamboats, were crammed
t. OVERLOOKING. Upward of Ihree thous aud paseen
gers left this city, via the New-aaven Railroad for
various places along the line. TIE steamboats, Empire
City, for Boston via Fall River and c. Vanderbilt, via
StoniI gton, were crowded with passengers. The
Bridgeport, Hartford and New.Haven, were equally
thr, nged 1t estimated that not less than twenty
thousand persons have gone 70 New-EnRland since
Monday, to enjoy the old-fashioned family Thanks
giving.
The markets yesterday literally dropped fstness.
Mos, ample provision made by dealers to supply
the seasonable demands of ssy-athome citizens but
although there was enough, warned by the disastrous
result of last years glHt the market was not over
stocked, and prices ruled high 10 the clo7e. Good
sized neai, dressed turkeys sold for ID to 10 cents
pouId and even higher some choice birds commanding
fabulous price,. The general display of poultry, how
ever, wai by no meaDs up 10 the average oil former
wears, neither in quality nor quantity. There were
on ands Of turkeys and geese and smaller gear which
wi be greatly improved in their general appearance
when Il ey have wtll fed for o. tie whole,
four-fths at least seemed they really had expired
before their time and though their feathers had
been boiled of, rather than decently plucked
