To THE PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN Amidst
the manifold vicisstudes and calamities tina
have befallen and surrounded us, threatening
the life of our nation, and the lives of so ma

becomes US to turn with grateful hearts to the
Supreme Being for the many blessings we
have enjoyed. and the Affections we have been
spared.
The horrors and devastations of war, so
fiercely raging around us, have not touched
the border of our State excepting the brave
men who have rallied around our country s
flag in this time OF peril. our citizens have
been permitted to pursue their peaceful avoca-
lions our harvest, though not as abundan as
Providence sometimes has.pleased to grant us,
has vet we'll compensated the labor bestowed
upon it, an! well filled our houses and barns ;
the savage tribes upon our border settlements,
go threatening at one time to our peace, have
been quoted, and kept under surveillance.
The great caus9 of our nation, it is true, has
not triumpEed yet over its enemies, but Meth
cr has it yet failed the enemy has been driy-
en- from the soil of The loyal States our ar
my has been reinforced by hundreds of thou
sands of brave, patriotic and noble men rea-
dy to do battle, and, If necessary, to die for
the integrity of the Union our resources and
energies are unlIDpalTeG We HAVE Iedsou w

full for the past.
The loyalty. honor. and patriotism of the
State of Wisconsin has been nobly sustained
by her brave sons upon every field of battle
where they have been called upon 10 vineicate
our national flag. The Just pride which we
feel in the bravery of our noble soldiers sho' q
fill our hearts with gratitude to Almighty
God. who has sustained them in their hour o
trial.
For these and other uncounted blessings
which the infinite goodness of God has voucll-
safed to us during the past year, we should
thank Him from the depth of our hearts. And
therefore, and in accordance with a time hon
ored custom, do hereby appoint THU Rs
DAY, THE 9TH DAY OF NOVEMBER.
1862. AS A DAY OF THANKSGIVING
AND REST, and recommend TO the people
of this State on that day to abstain from Sec
ular labor, and to assemble at their usual pla-

We are compelled to denounce the policy
of the State Prison Directors in placing men
as officers and guards about that institution
who haze no qualification for the position.

cant seems to have been that he was an active,
Jealous and efficient supporter of the admin.

or particular friend Of some one Of the
successful candidates This old political
dogma, that "to the victor belong the spoils,"
has had much to do in demoraIizng the
democracy Of our country, aud bringing
about the evils we now suffer. There are
number Of men in this place and elsewhere,
who are competent, and would be efficient
officers and guards at the State Prison but
for their political hue This objection is the
height of partisan folly.
We hope the Board of Directors will see
the necessity of immediate reform in this
matter, and relieve the community from the
fear and danger of another outbreak.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

This week we float OF our mast'hea the
Democratic ticket in full. A better or more
able one, was never presented to the democ
racy of Placer county for their sutfrages,
and we doubt not they will rally to its sup
port with enthusiasm and confidence. Dem
ocrats, the gentlemen who compose this
ticket, are many of them old and well tried
compatriots who have heretofore received
your support, and who have filed high posi-
ton in the State and County, and have
faithfully discharged the duties of the offices
to which they have been elected. Such
men you can trust, by such men you should
be willing to stand. They are worthy your
confidence, your support, and your esteem.
They are not to be changed from fixed prin-
ciples by every popular cl.mor, nor by the
fanaticaI opposition of Abolitonists. They
are democrats, who believe in democracy
for its truth and its worth, and because it is
the only security for the country to rely up
on in these troublesome times; and because
the democratic party stands by the organic
law of the land in all and every emergency,
and defends it against every assailant; and
because too its principles cannot be corrupt
ed or compromised; for it knows no base
ness and covers to no danger; it oppresses
no weakness, aud is destructive only to des-
potism. For these reasons and many Others
that we could name, they are true and faith.
ful democrats. For these reasons they de
serve our united and undivided support.
