Thanksgiving.


The ANIMAL observance of some day, at
this season, for Thanksgiving and Praise to
God, has been handed down to us from the
early history Of New England. Our fathers
who first landed upon our rude Shores were
men Of genuine piety. They did not embark
in the May Flower, aud venture upon the
treacherous deep, without earnestly implorlns
the Divine protection, and commencing all
their interests to the keeping Of their Father
in Heaven. When they were permitted to
disombark upon Plymouth Rock they remem-
ocred their gracious dcliyercr, and the echoes
of the lone forests were awakened as they
ioined in hymns Of praise to God. They plant
ed in hope and trusted in God, and reapeo the
joyful harvest with public Acknowledgements
Of him who had smiled upon their labors,--'
When they were driven to great extremity
for food they appointed day oil lasting ana
PRAYER to imporc the mercy and favor OF
Heaven and when deliverancc came,thcy made
equally public their grateful acknowledgment
of God in the blessings received. These facts
mark most clearly their deep consciousness OF
dependence on God. The same fact STANDS
out with great prominence in the strugg &c OF
our fathers, as recorded in the history OF the
Revolution. National independence andpros'
neritv were not then expected without the
aid and blessings Of kind Providence, ano
when that protractcd and painful struggle
terminated in securing to us the rights fol
which they had been conteuding; how DC
vout and heartfelt were the thank offerings
that nation united in presenting to the Go'
of battles, who had given victory to our arms
and freedom to our Country.
1t is peculiarly fitting that this custom
should be continued. We were never NOR
dependent upon God than now, and pccuila
and abundant mercies call upon every CHRIS
! ia, heart for q grateful recognition of tn
Giver Of oil good At this period IN our Ms
torv we boast Of great improvements over tn
rude age of our fathers, and We are Obliged

ernment have the people OF our State
been called upon to celebrate an annual
Thanksgiving under circumstances like the
present.. Our Country is involved in fear"
full war. not from the Invasion of foreign
foe, but from those OF our own household
In the history Of no nation has there been
such an outbreak Of causeless treason and
rebellion, as in our unhappy Country. The
lcrv. "To arms !" has been echoed among our
green hills, and in obedience to its dread
summons, many of our citizens have gone to
mingle in the conflict. How many in our
State will this day be missed from the home
circle 1t has been one of the charms con-
nected with these memorable occasions that
the scattered family meets again around the
festive board, and the broken circle is again
reunited in friendly intercourse. But upon
this occasion many will think Of husband,
son, and brother far away enduring the tolls
and sharing the coarse fare of the camp
None Of us can tell when, OR under what cir
cumstances we shall meet again. Some who
are now absent may never return again to
the homes they love; and when we think OF
the changes and perils that snrrouod Us, at
this evontful pegiot! Of our history, it affords
US grateful relief that we may safely trust
in God, and if we love Him, checrfully arc
hopefully await the results.
It becomes US on this occasion to recoun
: the mercies and multiplied blessings Of kinC
o Providence. There arc personal and nation
|, al tavors that loudly call for gratitude. |
q we undertake to enumerate them, we shall b
:, convinced that their nature and number def.
u !, our comprehension, and here we should b
- lost in wonder. love and praise.
O The plentiful harvest that God has give'
l. US came under circumstances well calculates
IS to impress our hearts with sense ol God
v goodness. We have surplus provisions 10
t. our army, and an ample amount to meet tn
.e foreign demand which is created by shol
IS harvests in the Old World. The fact tina

The Patriotism or New YoRK.-The Bos-

land Democracy, thus speaks OF the patriotic
spirit which is animating the people of the
Empire State:
But grand as is the patriotic spirit of Bos-
ton. how can icy cold words tell of the ma
tional glory that encircles New York Think
of sixty or seventy thousand troops from this
single city This is not the boiling up Of a
sudden fever it is The steady tug of won
derfu power-of all the bone and sinews of
war-men and meansI The description of
the various fresh regiments going forward
with incredible energy, that load the columns
of the New York press, show steady fame
of enthusiasm TO protect the government,
that we venture to say is quite unparalleled
in the history of cities SO much for the
city. Now look over that great State 1t
has the aspect of lion reused from its liar.
Hundreds Of cities aud of towns are, in pro-
portion to their means, as full of devotion to
the sacred cause Of country; and the very
soil trembies with the tread Of the armed
hosts that are mastering to the sorrowfu
work that must he done to sustain the Con-
stitution and the Union.

Defending Washington.

Many people who are luke warnl in the
support of the Government, have been made
so by the misrepresentation Of cunning and
deceitful politicians, who tell them that the
| Government was right in defending Washing
ton, but wrong in sending troops into any
State. Now, the foolishness Of this will ap-
pear when these simple questions are pro-
pounded viz: Must the United States army
always be kept within the limits of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and must United States
War vessels always remain at sea ? Both
must be answered in the affirmative, if the
Government is to be limited to the defence OF
Washing. The Constitution of the United
States, (Section of Article - says that the
Congress shall have power " to exercise ex-
elusive Legislation in all cases whatsoever.
