TgASKsorvIYo.- Tomorrow, is the

THASKsoHINo.- Tomorrow, is the
day appointed by the Governor, for
Thanksgiving and Prayer. To use
the language of the Proclamation.
at is our bounden duty, in times OF
prosperity or adversely, to bow down
in humble submission to the cbasten-
ing manifestations and DEGREES Of Di-
vine Providence, and to acknowledge
the inscrutabls wisdom and justness
of His decrees-it now becomes us,
after . season Of general good health
and comparative prosperity, to recog-
nize the same All-wise power as the
Supreme Source of all blessings and
epjoyments.
And as it has been customary in
this State TO observe day of Thanks
giving, therefore, have thought pro-
per to recommend that Thursday, the
29th day of November next, be sot
apart for that purpose, and suggest to
persons Of all creeds and denomina-
tons, the propriety Of suspendiug on
that day their usual business avoca-
tions, that It may be dedicated exclu-
siyely to the worship of Almighty
God"
Here is platform upon which all
may meet and shake hands in amity
and friendship. We may quarrel
through the year, over the trade sales
in the general scramble to get rich,
and prepare the way to live--we may
quarrel about dogmas and creeds,
and fight to establish by force, our
pet systems yet we have all to &C
knowledge the Only Great, Eternal,
Living and Unseen, Juoge Of Judges
and King of Kings. There are times,
when through His agents, he visits
us, or we should forget our allegience
to Him, and his great kingdom |;
where all must 60 at length-and
pass away forever, as the shadow.
Right welcome is the pestilence
and famine they have q Christening
influence, and make us feel our rela-
tionship-that we are indebted to each
other, for all the blessings we have
for hsppiuess-sy the very soul with
in us-that we have q common here
tage and common destiny
"The -ceptred king, the burthen'd slave,
The humble and the naughty, die;
The rich, the poor, the base, the brave,
In dust, without distinction, lie."
Here petty distinctions melt
away-differences no longer exist.
This reflection should humanize and
Christianize the heart, and it is to
such reflections that we turn on
Thanksgiving.
Louisiana in her primitive SOW
ersignty-(we mean the sovereign
ty she had when the strongest tribe
of Indians held her) may glorify
for many special reasons. The day
has been appointed by our own
Governor, and not by the President
of the yet United States; hence the
day cannot be objected to on polit.
ical grounds, even by the extreme.
ly sensitive and select company of
States Rights men. 1t cannot be
complained Of by any sect, because
there is no prescribed form Of
prayer for the Thanksgiving and
no order for worship. People may
or may not observe it, just as they
like.

THE spirit OF THE AGE.

pnloSopboi MI AuouSo Oaiiyc,
who coined the expression, "Cotton
is King "a very good phrase for
cotton growers, when the staple is
in market and cash is wanted for
IL but king as it is, it has to sue
cumb, to cash at whose will, it is
often banded about, and brow bea-
ten. until we are forced to exclaim
"where is thy scepter mighty KingP
in the language of the poet. If
Cotton is King, then Cash is his
Prime Minister, and corn is the bank
ing capital of the empire. The pro-
position is hereby denied. Cotton
is no more king, than cash, or corn,
and such being the truth, the phrase
of Mr.. Carlyle, is one that will not
find its way very far down, the
unmeasured stream of time. The
world might do without clothes, as
it has done and even that nearest
and dearest garment, which touch
ss the heart Of every man and wo-
man might be dispensed with, be-
cause in the primitive time, before
the weaving of cloth became fash
iouable; the world, Of mankind
made a shift to do without it. No
doubt, our kinsmen in the Clock
Country will live to see a return of
primitive republicanism when their
doctrine of equality and fraternity
is fully carried out when .he In
dian is made, not only to change
his skin, but nature end the ma.
tive Dahomean is washed white in
the pure waters of their transcen-
dental philosophy. Is it not very
plain that dress, marks distinctions
in society, which would not exist,
if the world was without clothes
How should we distinguish, be-
tween king and commons-lords,
ladies and the vulgar gentry, but for
the matter Of clothes ? Perhaps it
was this idea in his head, that
caused Mr.. Carlyle to make use of
the expression about cotton, which
was evidently intended to embrace
woolens, fig leaves and other fabrics;
If not silk. But this is not the idea,
that we grapple after just now. 1t
is this-Opinion IS Hing, and if it
be SO in fact, why deny, its throne
and scepter. Then it becomes,
most interesting and instructive
vein Of inquiry to determine what
is opinion. The expression is a
common one-on the stump, parti-
cularly. "Public opinion is in favor
of it." We have heard it used Of
ten, by small, as well as large
stump speakers, with great COM
pass of voice. The best interpreta-
ton we have been able to give it
when thus used, is this. "Public
opinion is against it." when the
speaker cannot discover how, it is
to strengthen his side and put
money in his purse.
What is Public Opinion p? 1t is
small and modest voice, the infu-
ence of which reaches the great
heart of humanity, through some
subtle media, unseen /; it is the ma
terial evidence of the Spirit of the
Age. Perhaps, there is nothing
more difficult to arrive at, than
Public Opinion ; nothing, more
loosely talked of f; nothing requir-
ing more patient thought and care
full study to fathom. Very certain
it is, that public opinion, never
breaks forth in tempest, to upset
the teapot-it never takes part in
violent actions, and the mob and

Too MANY Irons IN THE FIRE
The Detroit Free Press tells, in the
following, how a countryman, Wis
iting that city, attempted to carry
two pigs under one arm, a coop full
of chickens under the other, and a
quart of eggs in his coat-tail pock-
ct:
The beginning of his troubles
was to drop one of the diminutive
porkers, which shot around the
corner like creased lightning. He
laid the coop on the other to hold
it down, and started in pursuit, re-
turning victorious to find his other
pig released by the benevolent ac-
tion of an old sow, who upset the
coop and freed the prisoner. I'm
prisoning the other in like manner,
he started in pursuit again, and in
the course of twenty minutes loom
ed up with piggy No. 2 under his
arm. By this time No. had wig
gled out, and was gone again,
whereat he was SO much enraged
that be sat down on the eggs una
wares and smashed them. Descry-
ing the truant in a neighboring
street he dashed after him, tumbled
over a gutter plate, and broke his
shins, and regained his equilibri.
um just in time to see both of his
porcine tormenters disappear un-
der barn with Airt of their short
tails. Vending his way sorrow
fully back to the coop, he arrived
in time to see the last of his bid
dies disappear over picket fence,
in the distance, released by the
mischief of malicious boys, who sat
on the curbstone and asked him
what he was looking for. When
last seen he was using his best en-
deavors to trade the coop for a bot
tie OF lemon pop-maklDg tDe best
of adverse circumstances.
Mr.. SURGEONS HABIrs.-His ha-
bits are of the most frugal, simple,
and self-denying character. The
salary allowed him by his congre-
cation is 91000 year I; he would
not accept more. Out of this he
sets aside 9600 a year for the sup
port of eleven young men, whom be
clothes, educates, and maintains
entirely, who are destined for the
ministry. He has selected those
whom he thought most likely to be
efficient laborers in Christ's vine
yard. He deputies their education
to others, but devotes one day in
every week to a personal examina-
ton of them in theology. The re.
naming R40o a year he compels to
suffice for the support of himself

Try Ir.-The following, from the Ohio
Cultvator, should be tried by some Of our
rancheros, this spring:
Procure your trees grated upon the wild
plum stock. The tree partakes of the ma
ture of the plum, being hardy, and will new
er winter kill, and putting out late in the
spring, will never be injured by the frost,
and it is certain preventive against the peach
grub; while the natural life of the tree be-
comes that of our own; so you may depend
upon peaches every year, and for long Pc
riod of time, without the destructive and dis
couraging influences attending the growth
of the common peach.

Facts not Generally Known

MT. thomas Prentice kettel1, late editor
of the Democratic Review, has published re-
Gently valuable statistical work under the
title Of "Southern Wealth and Northern
Profits exhibited in statistical facts aud Off
cial figures showing the Necessity of Union
to the Future Prosperity and Welfare Of the
Republic"
In a late issue Of the New York Day
Book, we find part of a review of Mr.. Ket.
tells work, from the sixth chapter of which,
the following resume of a portion of the
facts which form tie basis of the authors ar
gument, is taken. The reviewer says that
chapter sixth is devoted to the subject Of
tonnage and Rail Roads," and proceeds to
give the result, having no room for details,
as follows:
In federal bounties allowed fisheries.
New England has received $l2, 2,944, ,99S, and
Massachusetts has received two thirds OF the
whole as a protection to one of her interests!
and yet she complains of the Union. The
rest of the Union is taxed for her benefit to-
this amount and yet she is constantly growl
ing. Another item showing the influence of
cotton, is worth nothing. The tonnage of
the United States has, on an avarage, kept
pace 1oori passu with the number of bales of
cotton produced! In fact, cotton seems to.
be good thermometer for freights. When
there is ton to bale of cotton the prices
are remunerative, and business healthy.
The South furnishes six sevenths of the
freight, but owns less than one sixth of the
tonnage. The North own 80 per cent, of
Of the tonnage and supplies seven per
cent, Of the ireighls. The value of the
freghts of the cotton crop alone is over
S2l 100000! This is what northern ship
pers make directly out of the cotton crop.
But the South also pays freight for the i'm
portations it uses This is estimated to.
amount to Sl2, 100000, making $33, 100000,
paid by the South to the shipping, interests
of the North alone. Who gets this vast
sum!-Why, it is divided among the mer-
chants, owners, seamen, &c, DC. 1t builds
the palaces Fifth Avenue and the villas
on Staten Island and the East River. And
who can tell how much OF it is used to sup
port Abolition newspapers and spread anti
slavery d cuments-all devoted to tearing
down what they are mpotent to build up.
AS to railroads, the South has Sill miles,.
the North, 1855, and the West lO,706
What is remarkable, the southern roads are
the only ones that pay good dividends, while
all the Western roads are bankrupt.

REMARKABLE CURE OF LoCKJAw.- The
New York Observer says: A young lady ran
rusty nail into her foot recently. The in
Jury produced lockjaw of such malignant
character, that her physicians pronounced
her recovery hopeless. An old nurse then
took her in hand, and applied pounded beet
roots to her foot, removing them as often as
they became dry. The result was most
complete and astonishing cure. Such sim
pie remedy should be borne in mind.

RATHER HAsrY!-Senator Bright, of Tndi-

three letters from his constituents, one Of
which was to inform him of the serious i'll

Marshal, and the other two were applications
for his vacant place in case he should die.
