GIVE THANKS ALL YE PEOPLE
Give thanks; all ye people, give thanks to the Lord,

Chorus after each rerse:
Give thanks all We people, give thanks to the Lord
Alleuias of freedom, with joyful accord.

Our acres in myrads with treasures of grain:
For the Earth still unloading her manifold wealth.
For the Skies beaming yigor. the Winds breathing
health.
Give thanks
For the Nations wide table, o'erfowingly spread,
where the many have toasted, and all have been
With NO bondage th,ir God given rights to enthral
But Liberty guarded by Justice for all:

Give thanks

Your riches from Him Whose the silver and gold
Happier children of Labor true lords of the soil
Bless the Great Master Workman, who besseth your

TO your Leader be loyal, Jehovah of Hosts:
Glow the Stripes and the Stars aye with victory

Rejecting His glory,--He crowneth the Right.

Only wailing your dead, in the joy have no part:

All that honor and sympathy's gifts can bestow.

PORTLAND BENEVOLENT SOCIETY. - We
hope we shall not be considered obtrusiye,
when, amidst the numerous calls for charity,
in its thousand aspects, and the noble responses
which are made TO them by the people of Port
land, we present the claims of this most an
cient of all our charitable institutions. The
old Portland Benevolent Society now makes
its 57h annual appeal to our generous COM
munity for their accustomed aid to enable it
to meet the pressing wants of that class OF
persons, who having seen better days, and
therefore shrinking and sensitive in the solicit
tious Of charity, are waiting anxiously for the
visits of this unfaling messenger of relief to
their humble doors. The aged, the infirm, the
sufferer from chronic or acute disease, to whom
the society has ministered for nearly two gem
erations, are still here, and still need the kind
and watching service Of this unexceptional
and devoted sister Of charity.
The annual address will be delivered by
the Rev. Mr.. Clark, at the meeting house OF
the First Parish on Sunday evening, Nov 22
service to commence at o'clock. A contri-
button will then be taken to promote the OBJ
jects of the society, to which, experience as
sures us, that there will be liberal response.

was no excuse for the commission of an Of
fence; and added, that from one end of the
State to the other he found that the use
ofintoxicating liquors was the cause of nine
tenths of all the crime committed.
y-The New York Evening Post says:
"Let the tax of one dollar and ten cents per
ton, which is now imposed by our tariff on
bituminous coal, and of sivty cents per ton
on other sorts be repealed, and we should
introduce competition that would bring
down prices. Why should the Pennsylvania
producers enjoy a monopoly when the people
are suffering? Why should our ships which
carry our grain to England come back in bal
last, when they might ill all their holds with
coal but for the duty? Let us hope then, in
the interests of the whole community, that
one of the first acts of Congress will be to re-
peal this duty, and open our ports to unre-
stricted Importation
,rThe Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce says that
private letters received from Richmond give
most deplorable account of public and pri-
vate affairs in that city. Thousands of the
old and weather. residents are suffering for
the common necessaries of life, and are heart
lily anxious to have the war concluded, and
quite willing to come back under the old flag.
Many of them are said to have become indii-
ferent to the question Of slavery and openly
declare that the institution is virtually broken
up, having lost all hope and all heart. If this
be so, the end of this war cannot be very far
! aside like chat before the wind.

THE UNION DEMONSTRATION ON
SATURDAY.,

The Union men of Wood County had
glorious time in our place, on Saturday last.
Early in tho morning the people began
ilockiDg in from all directions. Near hun.
dred wagons, from tho different townships
Of the county, formed in line and entered
the town in an imposing array, decorated as
they were with flags aud streamers. By
noon there must have boon an addition to
our population by sciDo two or three thou.
sand-earnest and Jealous Union men and
women.
About two o'clock tho speaking CON-
mcnced, in the Courthouse yard. Col
Charles Anderson, our gallant candidate for
Licutenant-Govcrnor, entertained the vast
audience for more than two hours, in his
usual happy aud eloquent manner. Owing
to our absence during the major portion of
the time, we are unable to give even a
synopsis of his able speech One impor-
tant point he discussed ably and logically,
to the entire satisfaction of all who heard
him. He proved beyond all possibility of
cavil, the fact that England's great desire
was the disruption of this Union, for upon
its ACKNOWLEDGMENT sho would attain a
power and GRANDEUR which she had never
darcl to think upon in her Widest dream
of ambition. He proved conclusiyoly that
it was impossible for the South to remain
all independent power. She must become
subject to maratme power, in case she
would gain hcr independence, and that
power would be England. He could not
conceive it possible, that any thinking son
of the Emerald Isle would lec British ty-
ranny, and assist in breaking up the Union
Of these States, for the asgrandzement OF
tho very power they had learned to hate.
The argument was startling and self.cvi-
dent.
Colonel John c. Lee, of Tiffjn, followed
Mr. Anderson in one of his most effective
and telling speeches. His earnestness in
the cause which he advocates communi
Gates itself to his hearers, and his frequent
outbursts of mastery cloquCnce rivct the
attention of all within the sound ofhis voice
Owing to the large number assembled
speaking was had from two stands during
a portion Of the afternoon. The interludes
were onlivoned by the sweet and stirring
strains of the Union Silver Band, from
Toledo, and several patriotic songs from
one of the ohors of our own place. The
contrast between the meeting of Saturday
and the one OF Thursday is refreshing tc
the heart of every Union man. The pcopl,
are keeping step to tho music of the Union
and the greeting that Old Kentucky sends
will be gloriously responded to on the
second Tuesday of October next, by the
Buckeye State.

COOKS PORTABLE AND PLANTATION
EVAP0RATO2S,
CLARK'S CANE MILLS.

That these Mills and Evaporators are the best
in uss, is clearly established by the fact that pref
erence is given them, wherever they are known,
and they have never failed TO take the First Premi-
um at every State fair where they have been
hibited in competition with others-and Cooks
Evaporator is the only one on which sugar in any
quantity has ever been made. Nr. j. II. Smith,
of Quincy, llliroiS, writes that he made over FIVE
tuns of sugar 90 one Of them last season; and that
his sugar, and the syrup made by G. d. Roberts,
of jacksonville, took the First Premiums, at the
Springfield annual meeting of the Agricultural
Board. The mills are Hedges Patent, with Clark S
improvements, and the most perfect mill in the
United States; will run one-third lighter than any
other and are so constructed that it is impossible
to break them.
Call and examine sample machines, OF send for
pamphlets giving full descriptions.
In order to secure your Mills and Evaporators
in good season, hand in your orders early. Hun
dreds were disappointed last season by putting it
off too long. 1t will make no dift.renSe in the
time Of payment, whether you order nox os in

THE ON VALLANDIGHAM.

We see it stated that the Cincinnati
FoLbsfreuad is the only German paper in
Ohio which advocates placing convict at
the head Of our State Government and that
paper is said to havo lost l 500 subscribers
on the very first day that it placed the
traitors name at the head of its columns.
Vallaudigham will get few votes among in
telligent Germans. They appreciate too
well the blessings of a constitutional gov
ernment, and have too little sympathy with
traitors, to. support such a candidate.
