National Thanksgiving.
By the President Of the United States of .4meriea
| PROCLAMATION.

A PROCLAMATION
1t has pleased Almighty God to hearken to the
suppllcatlons and prayers OF an afflicted people,
and to vouchsafe to the army and navy of the
United States on the land and on the sea, victories
so signal and so effective to furnish reasonable
ground for augmented confidence that the Union
of these states will be maintained their Constitu-
ton preserved and their peace and prosperity per-
manently restored but these victories have been
accorded not without sacrifice of life, limb, health
and liberty incurred by brave, patriotic and loyal
citizens. Domestic af1iction in every part OF the
country follows in the train of these fearful be-
reavements. 1t is meet and right to recognize
and confess the presence of the Almighty Father
and the power OF his hand equally in these tr-
umphs and these sorrows.
Now, therefore, be it known, that do set
apart Thursday, the sixth day of August next, to
be observed as day for national thanksgiving,
praise and prayer, and invite the people of the
United States to assemble on that occasion in the
customary places of worship, and in the forms APP
proved by their own conscience render the hon.
age due to tie Divine Majesty for the wonderful
things He has done in the nations behalf, and in.
woke the influence of His holy spirit to subdue
the anger which has produced and 80 long sus-
tanned needless and cruel rebellion to change
the hearts of the insurgents, to guide the coun-
sells of the government with wisdom adequate to
so great national emergency and to visit with
tender care and consolation, throughout the length
and breadth of our land, all those who through
the vicisstudes of marches, voyages, battles, and
seges, have been brought to suffer in mind, body,
or estate, and finally to lead the whole nation
through paths of repentance and submission to
the Divine will, to the perfect enjoyment Of
union and fraternal peace.
In witness whereof have hereun.o set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at this city of Washington, this fifteenth
day of July in the year of our Lord one thou
sand eight hundred and sixty-three, and of the
Independence Of the United States Of America
the eighty-eighth.

Pleasing Every Body.

We do not remember to have read any
thing better than the following sentiments.
They are true to the letter
Heaven help the man who imagines he can
dodge his enemies by trying to please every
body If such an individual ever succeeded,
we would be glad to know it. Not that we
believe in mans going through the world
trying to find beams to knock his head against;
disputing every mans opinion elbowing and
crowding ali who differ from him. That againis
another extreme. Other people have a rightto
their oplnion-so have you; don't fall into the
error of supposing they respect you more for
turning your coat every day to match the COL
or of theirs. Wear your own coOrs, spite of
wind or weather, storm or sunshine. 1t costs the
yacllating and irresolute ten times the trouble
to wind, aud shuttle, and twist, that it does hon
est, manly independence to stand its ground.
Take what time you please to make up your
mind ; having once made it up, stick to it,
like burr to chestnut.

How to Succeed.

| have already stated what appears to me
the great defect in all trsatises on the arts of
self.advancement and selt-help. There ap.
pears to me tallacy at the foundation of all
their instructions. They all say, in one form
or other, do so and so, and you will get on
Some Of these treatses recommend fair and
worthy means as industry, self-denial, per-
severance, honesty, and the like. Others of
them recommend unworthy means as selfish
ness impudeuce, toadyism, sneakiness, and
the like But they fail to allow for chance
or Providence. They fail to bring out the
utter uncertainty which attends all arts for
getting on. No mortal can say how man is
to get on. A poor Scotch, walking the Lon
don streets, fell into cellar and broke his leg.
That made his fortune. The wealthy owner
of the cellar took him up, and pushed him on;
and he rose to be Mayor Of London, and an
eminent member Of Parliament. The keli.
est arts, whether honest or dishonest, may fail
utterly. And the lesson, think, is this
Do your duty quietly and honestly. Don't
push, don't puff. Don't set your heart upon
any worldly end it is not worth while; if
success comes, well if it does not como you
do not mind much.
Seekest thou great things for myself? seek
them no more There never were words writ
ten more worthy of being remembered and ac-
ted on by all men. There is no use in being
ambitious.-Ihe Country Parson.

Blue-L Light " Democracy.

The arguments employed by the pro-slavery
Democracy Of to-day against the CONSUMPTION law
are almost identical with those put forward by
the Federasts of 1912. The Hartford Manifesto
arraiens the Democratic Government ct that
time in this strain
In certain specified cases only has the Ma
tional Government any power over the militia !;
and it follows conclusively that for all general
and ordinary purposes this power belongs to the
States respectively and to them alone. 1t is not
only with regret, but with astonishment, the Con-
vention perceive that under color OF authority,
conferred with such plain and precise limitations,
q power is arrogated by the Executive Govern
ment 1.-THE Democratic Government of Madisonl
and in some instances sanctioned by the two
Houses of Congress, of control over the militia
r.. e. the transferring citizens of the several
Statee,l which, if conceded pH render migratory
the rglfL authority of The individual States ouer
that class Of men, and by placing at the disposal
Of the National Government the lives and services
of the great body of the people, enable it at pleas
,ue TO destroy their liberties and erect military
despot'sm on its ruins"
Further on the Hartford Manifesto declared
"The power of compelling the militia and other
citizens Of the United State by forcbe draft or
conscripton to serve in the regular armies, pro-
posed in late official letter of the Secretary of
War, [Mr. Monroe] /, not delegated TO Congress
BY the Constitut,on and the exercise Of 1t ioould be
not less dangerous to their liberties than hostile to
the sovereignty Of the States. The effort to deduce
this power from the right of raising armies, IS q
fragrant attempt TO pe,pert the sense Of the clause
IN the Constitution, which confers that right, and
is incompatible with other provisions of that in
strument."
Both OF the extracts from this Federalist Man
ifesto read like extracts from the New York
World or Express Of late dates. The ideas and
the arguments are precisely alike. The Demo-
Gratis of 1S12-14, however, did not listen to these
arguments, or did not think them of much force.
They believed the Federal Government had the
power and the right to raise armies. They were
then the war party, while the Federallsts were the
peace party. Is it not worth the while Of the
peace Democrats of to-day TO remember some of
the teachings of the earlier Democrats, when to
be Democrat meant to stand by the country ?
May they not proftably contemplate the odium
and disgrace which ever after fell upon all con-
nected with the Hartford Convention, and consider
whether it is best for them to damn themselves
and their posterity to similar infamy

Good Advice to Soldiers.

A correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun,
says
Every soldier should keep in his knapsack
card, upon which should be plainly inscribed
his full name and address, with his company
and regiment. Last week two cases occurred
in which soldiers were brought here from the
battle-feld-one i'll and the other wounded
both too low to ascertain those particulars
from them. They died, and the hospital au-
thorities were deprived of the opportunity OF
apprisng distant relatives Or friends Of their
decease. In another instance "a fine lad
killed in battle-all hope of tracing his rea-
tives was gone, when, by mere accident, q
little Bible, presented to him by his mother
was found between the cloth and lining OF his
old GOAT. That little volume disclosed the
name Of the boy"

If the instincts of patriotism did not prompt
this support, should find sufficient motive
in that duty which we all owe to the Supreme
Ruler, God Almighty, whose visitatons upon
our country are now so fearful. Not rashly

will and yet I am not blind. According to
venerable maxim Of jurisprudence, Whose
would have equity must do equity and
God plainly requires equity at our hands. We
cannot expect success while we set at naught
this requirement, proclaimed in the divine
character, in the dictates Of reason and in the
examples of history proclaimed also in all
the events of this protracted war. Great judg-
ments have fallen upon the country plaques
