The Governor elect of New York, made
9 speech few evenings ago to company
of serenaders, in the course of which he
expressed the hope that the people might
"forget that they were Republicans OF
Democrats" We DO not question that
all the more sagacious Of the Republican
leaders would deem it merciful oblivion
which would obliterate this recollection
from the memory of man. They must
know, when the fansticism which is now
all pervasive burns out. when excitement
is allayed. and when the acts and ineules-
tions OF the two parties shall be written
on the impartial page Of history, and cub
mitted to the unbiased Judgment Of the
world, that American Republicanism will
be quite as odiOus. and as sbhorrent to the
moral sense of mankind, as is now the
Jacobinism Of France. Its bigoted in
tolerance. it's ruthless prescriptions. its
wanton dsvastations, its cold and remorse-
less cruelties, to say nothing Of its de-
struetiOn of the Constitution, aud its con
quent assassination Of American liberty,
will make it infamous until 1.-THE last
syllable Of recorded time" The Demo-
cracy have pleaded for conciistion, for
peace, for the submission Of fraternal
quarrels to the calm discussion Of states
men, instead Of the horrible arbitrsment
of battle. They have steadily protested
against every aggression upon the rights
and liberties of the people. They have
stood up alone, the sole defenders of the
Constitution and laws. The precepts Of
the gospel Of Christ. have found their ad
herents and advocates almost exclusively
in the Democratic party.
We do not wonder that Republican
desires to forget that he has been Re-
publican. But Democrats propose to re-
member who have been the deadliest foes
of their religion, and the most successful as
sailauts of their liberties, They could not
forget. if they would. Thsy would not,
if they could. While the consciousness
that they have been the opponents OF these

suuments of desolation, will be proud

Thanksgiving DAYS.

We have Just passed another day OF
nominal Thanksgiving to the Almighty, in
obedience to the suggestion ofthe President
of the United States. We think that =
time for exercise of this sort was never so
iuaptly designated. A day of humilia-
ton and prayer would have been infinitely
more appropriate, If the people, on bsnded
knees, had confessed their sins before
heaven; if they had prayed that their
hearts might be purged of the love Of
b!Ood-spilling, the desire for vengeance.
and the lust for iniquitous gains; if those
who habitually bear fslse-Witness against
their neighbors those who ineits strifss
and feuds in communities, until our
American society, even in the adhering
States, is little better than PAndemonium
had prayed for change Of hearts. and
vowed on bended knees to amend their lives.
we could have seen the pertineney of the
observance, aud welcomed it with hope OF
the most benign results. But from the
noisy, ostsntatious affair OF yesterday,
which refused to recognize the visible
wrath of God, now poured out on this un-
happy land, we have not the least e1peetA-
tion of good, There were prayers in many
churches. some no doubt from sincere
hearts, but many merely from the lips OF
those who insulted Deity with their sssrip-
tionS. And aside from all this, there was
intemperance, and gluttony and unwanted
vice all over the land, in all the hsuAts ot
debauchery and excess. The day of 6nal
accounts will reveal whether yesterdays
doings afforded balance Of good OF Of
evil.
