A CENT? oman in this place, of Republican
associations is very anxious to know whether
the late County Commissioners bad any
blank commi ssions printed and properly
signed by them, for the purpose of supplying
the vacancies th.st may occur during the mex :
two or three years either by death or resigna-
ton, among the Justices, Constables, and

Constable, and thinks he might have had a

THANKseIVENG IN IDAHO. Some of the
New England States commenced many years
ago to set aside one day in each year for a
general Thanksgiving of the people, The
custom has continued and gradually extended
to other States, though it was always regard
ed in the South and West as peculiar Yam
kee institution, and was either totally disre-
garded BY many of the States, or only made
the occasion for horse-race or cock 6eNt.
If appointed at all, it was done by the Gov.
ernor of each State. The New England
thanksgiving, like most everything else now
dominant, have spread over all the country.
New England governs the nation, and thanks
giving has become prevailing institution
In accordance with the New England idea of
Enxerpment, it is no longer State affair, but
the President names the day for the whole
country. The last Thursday of November
was appointed for that purpose BY Mr.. Lin
coin. In mockery of their former dignity the
Governors of several States named the same
day-simply re-echoing the Central Exeeu-
tive. But Idaho, it appears, had nothing to
thank God for. Gov. Lyon let it slide with
out cOmnent, and the people generally knew
nothing, aud cared nothing aboutit. Yet ii
any portion of the Union has cause for
thanksgiving, it is Idaho Territory. The
States east Of the Rocky Mountains can only
thank God for the curses of war; we, al
least, for the blessings Of peace.

be the most potent to restore peace with the pre-,

of the ablest documents which the condition of the
country has elected 1t seems to meet the almost
universal approval of our citizens. We trust he
may be sustained by his constituents, and BY his

Ours is not revolution. We were free and in

President Dauis Avgusta Speech.
Still harping on the doctrine of secession at WILL
No such doctrine was ever held by Madison, or
jackson, or Polk, or Wright, or Douglas, or any Of
the great lights Of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Davis, as the President of the whole people,
has no right to attempt to thrust his ultra secession
doctrines down the throats of those who refuse to
accept them. vast majority Of the people Of this
State, for example, never held so ridiculous or so
ruinous doctrine as that which asserts that the
States under the old form. Of government had q
right to secede "and mako q better government
when they saw fit" They have that right noe. in
theory, but let any one Of them attempt to put it
in practice, and they will soon find the sword Of
Confederate power, welded by Mr.. Davis, waving
over their heads. This is proved by the fact that
when it falsely charged that the people Of this
State contemplated secession from the Confederate
government Mr.. Davis promised troops to Gov.
Vance, and Gov. Vance accepted them in advance,
to be used to coerce North Carolina and whip her
back if she attempted to go out Mr.. Davis, who
fights against coercion, would coerce; Mr.. Davis,
who glories in the right Of secession as exercised
against the, old government would not tolerate il
under the new. Aud Gov. Vance is the only Gov
ernor who lived on this continent who has man
ifested disposition to coerce his own State Wha

FRIDAY last, broad intmation that Richmond may

an ultra administration paper-its Senior Editor IS

We would regard the surrender or the capture OF
Richmond as supreme calamity to The Confederate
cause. We fear the cause would not recover from
the shock, especially if Sherman should make good
his hold upon the State of Georgia. Experience
has shown the melancholy fact that every State

A SrRAw.-A vote for the Presidency WAS taken
at the convalescent and rec, uiting camp in Angus
ia, Maine, . few days since. There were present
1900 soldiers, and the result of the vote was 45O
for Lincoln and 30 for Mcclellan The Lincoln
men were no doubt promised furloughs, and the
Mcclellan men were told that if they voted for the
man Of their choice they should have no furloughs
The Mcclellan men were also no doubt called trait
ors and enemies 10 the Union of the States When
the election takes place in the army the Mcclellan
men will have their tickets taken from them and
torn up, and they will be threatened with heavy
punishment if they vote As they wish to do. This
was the course adopted in the recent election for
Governor in this State, and it worked admirably for
the party in power. A man who votes with the
party in power is perfectly free to do so, but if he
hasa mind or opinion of his own he is deprived of
his right of suffrage, and IS compelled to occupy the
situation of white slave. 1t was in this way the
recent elections were carried in North. Carolina
Surely the Lncolnitos are as smart as the Vancetes
