no THE PEOPLE OF NEBRASKA.

IrespectfuIy recommend ihatTHURS-
DAY, The 29th day of November, 1860,
be set apart and kept as a day Of thanks
giving. and prayer. As a people, we
have abundant reason for open and pub
lie acknowledgment Of Gods providence
and protection.
The first duty Of a nation Is TO confess
that God is king of Nations" Andit
is the part Of wisdom 10 recognize and
proclaim that lie and He only, is the
source of all national, as well as Of all
individual blessings. Our Fathers trust
ed in Him and were not coh%founded.-
He hath. made US, and not we ourselvesI
and Gin Him we live" "The earth IS
the Lords and the round world and all
that il contains are his. We are, every
day, debtors anew, 10 His goodness, His
mercy, and His love. One day devoted TO
Thanksgiving and prayer is a small con-
tribution, in return for the rich and re-
markable blessing bestowed by Him, upon
US. Il is worthy of especial mention and
gratitude that Nebraska has been blest
with a sufficient harvest, whilst Kansas,
our twin sister and nearest n%eighbor, with
all the advantages that we possess, and
most immediate toall our sympathies, be-
walls a famine in her land. Without ex-
ultation. but with glad and grateful hearts
we should magnify and bless the name Of
the Most High.
Therefore, SAMUEL w. BLACK, Gov
ernor Of Nebraska, in conformity with
approved custom, and because iii SEEM
" so to do-do invite the People within
this Territory to Join in celebrating the
TWENTH-NINTH of this month, as a
day set apart from a common to a sacred
use, by Thanksgiving and Prayer to the
Giver of "every good gift, and every
perfect gift"
In testimony whereof / have caused
the great seal Of the Territory to be af-
fixed, at Omaha, this 9TH day Of Novem-
Der, A. ID. 1860.

Who was Right?

From the time Breckenridge and Lane
we're nominated, we, with thousands of
others, have denounced the movement as
favoring secession, and the leaders Of
thatparty as disonionists. Here, in Ne
brasSa, in this city, we have been ''hand-
somelY abused" and charged with gross
misrepresentation. We only refer to the.
present t~raitorous movements of the Breck
inridge party, and ask who was right ?
We do not, Of course charge that aH who
supported Breckenridge were ~dispnionists,
but we do charge that the factionists who
nominated him are d~isunionists; that the
leaders Of the party are disunionists and
that the object Of the organization was
and is disunion. Many Of the frank and
fle," undoubtedly patriots at heart, were
ignorant of the true objects of the So
called Democracy. They now see where
they have beenled to. Democracy, now
a days means loyalty when in power; bat
out Of power; disloyalty-simplified "rule
or ruin"

we GOnhIr IN OH 0FehaTds.

Some who have planted young orchards
complain that The Gophir has been very
destructive among the trees. The gophir
need not be very troublesome. if poison
IS iudicioasIy used in the Fall and Spring.
But the most efectual way TO prevent the
d~epredations OF these pests in young or
lehatds. is to mix briek-bats, small stones,
or other hard substances, with the arr
that is placed around the roots Of the
trees, when they are planted. Even at
ter the tree is planted, a trench may be
made around the tree, Is inches or two
feet deep, and the hard substance what
ever it is--eyen corn cobs will DO bu'
will notlast manyyears-thoroughly mix
with the soil.
Stone or brick-bats are supposed to De
of advantage to the trees by retaining
moisture around the roots.

What Does it Mean?-The foIlOv

MH2b DOCS IL MC0Hs
ING is from the Omaha Ncbrqskian Of
the 4th. Those with whom we have con-
versed in regard to the manner in which
the certificate was obtained for Morton,
will r~ecollect certain predictions we made
before it was awarded him. If that board
of -canvassers does not get a thigh falF'
we miss our guess; that's all. Or the
idea may be, "dog in the manger,' y "rule
or ruiu," or some other prominent prin-
ciple of modern democracy. Thinking
that as there is no prospect for Morton
to retain the seat he will secure by means
of a flched certificate, if he will resign,
Nebraska will be without a Delegate for
the next two years. That won't win,
gentlemen. Daily is the legally elected
Delegate, and he will get the seat with
but little trouble.
WE HoPE NoT.-It is rumored that
Mr.. Morton contemplates resigning the
certificate of election awarded TO him by
the Board Of C~anvassers, and TO which he
is so Justly entitled. We hope this rumor
is unfounded, and that Mr.. NJ, will do
nothing, in our Judgment SO unwise. The
people of Nebraska have declared him "a
be the Delegate to Congress from this
Territory, we knoW that he was fairly,
honestly and legally elected-that he
received a majority Of the votes cast a
the late election. The people have a
right TO his services, and he cannot dis
regard their wishes without doug great
violence to their feelings, and injustice
to the Territory be has been elected tc
represent.

USEF RECEIPTS.

To cure felons on the finger apply the spinal morrow of the OK on a piece of cot ton rag, changing it every four hours.
 MIGRATING FRUIT TKEEs.- Instead of making use of a graft take slip, from an apple tree, for example, and plant it in a potato, so that couple of inches of the slip remain visible. It soon takes root, develops, and finally becomes a handsome tree, bearing fine fruit. An easy method; try it.
 To CURE SORE THRoAA-Take the white of two eggs and beat them with two spoons ful of white sugar; grate little nutmeg, and then pint of lukewarm water. Stir well and drink often. Repeat the dose if necessary, and 1t will cure the most invete- rate case of hoarseness in a short time. So says an exchange. MINcE PIEs.-Take a pound of beef, | free from skin and strings, and chop very | fine; then two pounds of suet, which like. wise pick and chop; then add three pounds of currents nicely cleaned and perfectly l dry, one pound and half of apples, the peel and juice of lemon, half a pint of sweet wine, half nutmeg, and a few cloves and mace, with pimento in fine powders; have cltron, orange and lemon ready. A CURE FOR LocKJAw-A young lady ran rusty nail into her foot recently. The injury produced lock- jaw of such malig- nant character that her physicians pro- nounced her recovery hopeless. AR 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 astonish- Ing cure. Such a simple remedy should be borne in mind.-N. J. O6serper.
 Bags of hot salt applied to the jaws sometimes succeeds. TICKLING HAMs.-To each ham put One pound of baysalt, two. ounces of saltpetre, two ounces of black pepper, and half a pound of common salt. Mix the above l ingredients we'll together, and rub upon the ham; let 1t lie four days and turn 1t every day, then add pound and half of treacle; let it remain in the above pickle for m onth, and rub and turn 1t every day. Put it in water day or two before it is cooked, and boil three hours. gi5 5sLsnfJ.r

That this famous Gin far all other bottled Gins, which have flooded the country-all connoisseurs agree; while its extensive sale as ga safe and reliable medicine for family use'' is flat tering indication of its excellence.
 From the long standing of this house A. M.
