WASHINGTON, December Ex-senator
Henderson, bill in aid of emancipation
of slaves in Missouri, appropriates as
compensation in that State-on the pas
sage Of a law emancipating all the slaves
therein-to the amount of S25, 000,000 1t
further provides that if the law of eman-
cipation should manumit all slaves on or
before July 4, 1866, the President shall
have the whole amount of the bonds pre-
pared and delivered on the passage of the
act, and if it should provide for the ter
mination of slavery at a later date, the
bonds shall be delivered in four equal
instalments, dating from the passage of
the act to the time when slavery shall
cease. The faith of the United States is
pledged to the fnlfllment of the agree
ment, and requires Missouri to refund
the money received if she should ever in
troduce slavery again.

Neutrality-suspicious. by the Gov
ernor Of the Territory Of Washington.

ernor Of the Territory of Washington.
An cventful period in our Nations history
is now passing. She is struggling with a
inonstrous conspiracy, which has for lis end
and aim the overthrow Of constitutional liber.
~, the destruction OF the best and most be-
Inefficient Government ever Instituted among
men. Whilst this mighty contest is going
forward, whilst national existence has been
imperilled, whilst many of our kinsmen have
welded up life to maintain the integrity OF
the American Union, the people of Washing
ton Territory have been exempted from the
1avages Of most dirctul civil war, so deplora'
bly, raging in other sections Of our glorious
country. Thanks to Our Father which art
in Heaven" treason has not dared to uplift
its hideous standard within our Territorial
limits.
Our great Creator has with this people full
filled His covenant, that seed time and har-
Vest shall not cease" in bOunteously blessing
the ;abors OF the husbandman. Success he's
crowned every branch of industrial pursuit.
General health and prosperity have been the
portion Of our people, and the Territory has
largely increased in wealth and population.
It Is mcte therefore, that we should give
thanks to the Great Bcstower Of these many
gifts.
Therefore, I, William Pickering. Governor
of the Territory Of Washington. do set apart
and appoint THURSDAY, the eth day Of Nov.
ember. instant, (ls62) as day OF Thanks
giving and Prayer to Almighty God in whose
Ranos is the fate of our Nation. And i'll
woke my fellow citizens, upon that day, that
they lay aside their temporal labcrs, and as
semble at their places Of Worship: and thank
God for those mercies, we have so bounteously
shared, and pray that our rulers may be en-
lowed with wisdom and strength; that the
Government may triumph over treason in
arms that National peace and unity may BE-
restored; and that our glorious country may
again resume her place, as first among the
Nations Of the Earth.
Done at Olympia, this 5th day, OF November
in the year Of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty.two, and OF the Nation
atty of the United States OF America, the
cighty.seventh.
WILLIAM PICKERING.
