As t. disunion, as he had endeavored to
speak about fact, and not fable, he thought
it hardly had place in the sermon; yet, if
they should presist in diSinion, it would be
like scene he saw in the North River, Of q
little steamer towing great number of bar
ges and rafts. Suppose the hindmost one
should threaten, ifthe steamnr did not con-
form exactly to her wishes, she would cut
the rope. 1t would be unpleasant to the
raft thus left behind, but the rest would go
all the faster. But they cannot scare us: we
have something Of Bunker Hill and Lex;ng-
ton left, and, if actual armies could not scare
us, empty threats will not be likely to- He
spoke this in all kindness. But he had no
such fears; he believed that Palmetto and
the Pine would join together for liberty, and
all the North and South there will be cordial
grasping ofhands of freemen for Freedom -
Then shall be the dawning of millennial
glory for, when great nation like this ri
ses mp against iniquity, and stands free be
fore the world, it is spectacle that can be-
long to no otherp sriol that III, latter-day
glory. May God in His time advance this
confirmation.

The Prospect Before Us.

1t is not to be supposed that the election
OF Abraham Lincoln as President Of these
United States-conspicuous and glorious
triumph as it is--will at once restore the
country to political harmony and quiet
though we are convinced that the agitation
raised in the South will gradually and surely
subside into peace. We shall hear some
thing indeed, of the secession and disunion
projects with which the ultra anti-Republi.
cans in the South, and their servile organs in
this City, lately attempted to frighten us
into the Abandonment of our principles and
our rights But we trust that what talk we
do hear of this sort will end in no acts that
are not well considered and deliberately pre-
pared. Vehement resolutions of Southern
State Legislatures in behalf of so-called
Southern rights, calls for Southern Conven-
tons, and even the meeting of the same,
may naturally influence, as hitherto, The local
politics of the States which take part in tkem,
without, of necessity, seriously affecting the
integrity Of the Union
But the Republicans must prepare them
selves to encounter something much more
| formdable-a combination ofall the elements
Of the Opposition to nullify so far as posi-
bic the victory we have obtained, and so to
delay for while longer those reforms in the
administration of our Federal affairs the
main objects which the Republican party
have in view. We have secured the Presi-
dency, but the other departments of the
Federal Administration Senate and the
House of Representatives, not to mention
the Judiciary--are still in the hands of oppo-
nents We have placed ourselves in a DO.
sition to prevent much evil ia the misuse and
abuse of Executive patronage and authority.
| We have the politicians Of the anti -Republi-
can party, both North and South, to under
stand that the feelings, sentiments, instincts,
and interests of the great free-labor masses
are not to be tram?led upon with i.npanity
But the party whose misconduct of our ma.
tional affairs called Republicanism into ex.
lstence, ani has given to it orapid growth,
that party still survives, and, cut in two as il
| is, will still strive. like discovered snake,
to reunits its disjointel fragments. The
conspiracy between the slave interest of the
Southern States and the demaroguism and
fiunkyism of the North, to engross the ad-
mlnistration of the Federal Government, and
to render the free labor element as nugatory
/ in the Union a. it is in the Slave States, will
be renewed and vigorously pressed. The
gr at victory we have just achieved is but
one step-no doubt most important one
toward the thorough reform of the admins.
tration of our national affairs and toward
putting the question of Slavery in the Terri
tories at rest forever Labor and struggle
wisdom and firmness will still be necessary
to bring that consumation about. Tribune

The Next Congress.

As far as elected, the members of the
House of Representatives of the next Con-
gress stand Republican 1O3, Democrats AT,
Unions 3. The States that are yet to elect.
being all Southern States except California,
Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island, will probably give Republicans, 81
Democrats and Is Union. If so, the next
House, which goes into session when Lin
coin becomes President, will stand Republi-
cans lI2, Democrats 104. Union 81.
Though the House will be apparently
against Lincoln, we think there can be no
doubt that the Douglas and Union men will
mall important measures support he Admin
istration, especially as against the Disunion-
lists. In this case, Lincoln will have deci-
ded majority IN the House touphold his Ad.
ministration.

Thanksgiving.

a Thanksgiving proclamation cannot very
well be written, that will not make pleasant
reading by association. The 'Proclama.
ton may be poor enough, but the grace of
the Thanksgiving saves it. Gubernatorial
calls to prayer are usually as formulas an old
fashioned table blessing that used to be
asked thrice daily. Whether over
corn Tread or cakes of fine -four, bean por-
ridge or the nightly loin, it was all one.
Governor Banks,of Massachusetts,, howev-
er, has made areal contribution to procla-
nation literature. 1t can be rendered like a
chant:
''For the favored position which separates
our beloved country from the political com.
plications that torture other nations, and Sc.
cures to US well regulated liberty and uniyer-
sal peace;
y For the preservation Of the States united
For the public health and prosperity;
For the rich haryests of the year;
For the privileges Of general education;
For the capacity and hope of future inn
provement;
And the never failing consultations of Chris
tian faith
Let us remember, in every act of thanks
giving for our inappreciable privileges, the
opportunities that are offered;
For the relief of those in want;
The succor Of the oppressed
The consolation of the afflicted;
The comfort of the imprisoned;
The encouragement of such as are cast
down;
And the recognition of all men of whatey-
er caste, condition or cline, as children of a
common Father, and subjects of one univer,
sal and incomprehensible DESTINY"

Beecher says of Blondin: - II is a very
small thing for that fool to walk across that
cable with the roar of fNiagara under him,
carrying somebody like himself on his back,
though ten thousand other fools go to gap
and stare at him. But for man to walk
across the thread of daily life, carrying, not
another fool but soul with immortality in
every faculty, potent wonderful in scope,
and power, and susceptibility, so as to keep
itin balance, is not small thing, 1t re-
quires him to be wide awake that is, to

What Shall Become of the Wide
Awake Organizations?

This question is attracting attention in
many parts of the nation. The Wide
Awakes have done a glorious work 10 the
successful effort to peacefully revolutionize
the government, aud it does not seem right
and proper that they should be permitted to
die out At Albany, on the evening ofelection
It was with great unanimitv resolved to con-
tinue the organization, and the same action
has been taken elsewhere There should at
least be steps taken in every place to preserve
the records and the property of the compan-
les so that they may be made available when
occasion shall require the revival Of the or
der
\ question in some degree akin to the
above, is, How shall the Wide Awakes tes-
tify their qualification at the great triumph Of
their party In several localities We OBJ
serve that festivals are to be i'm ed ately he'd,
and at Tully in this county one takes place
this evening We should think that our
city Wide Awakes, at least, might make
some formal recognition of the glorious
achievements of theE brethern throughout
the Free North.
