THANKSGIVING.

Proclamation by the President oftAe U. States.
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God,
during the year which is now coming to an end
to relieve our beloved country from the fearful
scourgc OF civil war, and to permit us to secure
the blessings of peace, unity, aud harmony, with
great enlargement of civil liberty; and, where
as, our Heavenly flasher has, also, during the
year, graciously averted from us the calsmities
of foreign war, pestileuce, and famine, while our
granaries are full of the fruits of an abundant
season; aud, whereas, righteousness exalteth
nation, while sin is a reproach to any people,
Now, therefore, /, ADdrew johnson, Presi-
dent of the United States, do hereby recon-
mend to the people thereof that they do set
apart and observe the first Thursday Of Decem-
Der as day of national Thanksgiving to the
Creator of The universe, for these deiverances
and blessings.
And i do further recommend that, on that
occasion, the whole people make confession Of
cur national sins against His infinite goodness,
and with one heart and one mind implose tho
divine guidance in the ways of national virtue
and holiness.
In testimony whereof have here1nto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington this twenty
eighth day of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty
five, aud of the independence of the United
States the ninetieth.

Ea~ a Masonic association in New York,
ca allied the Lodge Of Perfection, performed a
singular ceremony last week-a sort of imitation
of Christian baptism. 1t is described as fol-
lows:
''The members having entered in procession,
were followed by party with six children, some
borne on cushions and others led by sponsors
and parents-a man following behind with the
sacred triangle of burning candles This COM
pany made three circuits, escorted by the lodge,
the Masons chanting praises. Then advancing
to the East, they stood before the Grand Master.
Prayer was read and hymn was sung The
orator then addressed the sponsors and children,
admonishing them to be true to themselves,
aleir neighbor, their country aud their God
Another prayer was then repeated \ font of
pertumed water stood before the Grand Master
Taking each chi!d's hand, he immersed it in the
water, repeating its name aud the words, i wash
thee with pure water May Coo give thee aud
maintain thee in that innocence and purity of
heart of which this cleansing is symbol He
then marked on the forehead of each child
triangle with conseerated oil, and pronounced
the invocation of blessing. A hymn was then
sung; the brethren knclt and uttered solemn
vow to watch and protect these children through
life. Each partook of salt in confirmation of the
pledge. A locket was presented to each of the
children, aud ring TO the boys; also the TRAN
gle and an apron. A benediction completed the
rite"

AMNESTY FOR THE SOUTH.

Until his colloquy with the Carolina Com
mittee, we had entertained the hope that the
President intended to announce an universal
amnesty to the people of the South. It seems,
however, we have cherished delusion; and
that it is Mr. Johnsoas present purpose to per-
sist in the system of special pardons which he
has hitherto practised. We do not doubt the
goodness of Mr. Johnson's heart, nor question
his liberal disposition toward the South. In
very few instances has he refused pardon to
gentlemen implicated in the attempt to estab-
ish Southern Confederacy; and he accompa-
MES the exercise of his prerogative of mercy,
with grace and affability which infinitely en-
hances the Impression of his benevoence. AL
together he has evinced so resolute a spirit of
resistance to the bloodthirsty Jacobinism of
the Radicals, that we are persuaded be harbors
proscri ptive designs against the people OF the
South. We suspect he is restrained from the
experiment of a general act of grace, by certain
considerations of policy, with which are not
familiar. Perhaps be hesitates to break with
the Republican party, and thinks to avoid
shock to their humane sensibiities by gradual
dispensation of pardon to the 'rebels." May
be he fears the country is not yet prepared fer
proclamation of general amnesty, and hopes to
lead them to that result by imperceptable ap-
proachcs In either contingency, the President
is mistaken. If he would, he cannot avert the
fate which hurries him to rupture with the
Republican party. He and they entertain ideas
so Incompatible, and designs so dissimilar, that
1t is impossible they can much longer pursue
the same path lie intends the pacifcation of
the country; they fercely resolved to perpe-
tuate the reign of discord and agitation. We
have faith in his frmness, and we confidently
expect collision between the patriotic Presi-
dent and the incendiary party which means to
rule ruin him. Equally idle is the appre-
bension that the country would not tolerate an
Instincts of the popular heart are ever generous;
nothing mean or malignant is in harmony with
its magnanimous impulses; and We can assure
Mr. johnson that the nation will be prompt to
applaud the most liberal application of the Elk
ecutive clenency ~. Y Neaos:
