Tho National nteUigencer OF tho 14th
inst, says that at a conservative meeting
in New Creek, Virginia, last week, the
leading Democratic orator uttered the fol.
lowing sentiment :-"The assassination OF
Abraham Lincoln was merciful dispen-
sation, was merciful dispensation, but
it would be still more merclful dispen-
sation if his unworthy successor, Andrew
johnson, should be assassinated." He has
since been made the subject of an arrest,
and is now in Cumberland Jail.

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING DAY,
BIT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
A PROCLAMATION.

BIT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty
God during the year which is now com
ing to an end, to relieve our beloved coun.
try from the fearful scourge of civil war,
and permit US to secure the blessing OF
pence, unity and harmony, with a great
enlargement of civil liberty
And aohereas, our Heavenly Father
has also during the year gracefully averted
from US the calamities of foreign war, pes.
thence and famine, while our graueries
are full of the fruits of an abundant
season;
And achereas, righteousness exalteth
a nation, while sin is reproach to any
people )"
Now therefore be it known that I,
Andrew Johnson, President of the United
States, do hereby recommend to the peo-
pie thereof, that they do set apart and
observe the FIRST Thursday of December
next as day of National Thanksgiving
to the Creator of the Universe, for these
deliverances and blessings.
And do further recommend that on
that occasion the whole people make con,
fession of our National sins against His
infinite goodness, and with one heart and
one mind implore the Divine guidance in
the ways of National virtue and holiness.
In testimony whereof have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington, this
28th day of October, in the year of our
Lord One Thousand Fight Hundred and
Sixty five, and of the Independence of
the United States, the ninetieth.

The Presidents Plan.

We have seen the Copperhead Democ
racy for the past few months passing re-
solutions, making speeches and writing
editorials, all in high praise of President
johnson and his plan. of reconstruction
These laudatory tributes may hare caused
some slight misgivings at times, lest he
might falter and possibly mistake his
duty. But thesea ardent and sincere
friends seem to have oyerdone the thing
seiziDg upon his readiness to pardon re.
pentant rebels, and his refusal to make
negro suffrage condition of re-admissiou
indicative of his sympathy with THEN
views, they thereupon conceived the hope
of tempting him to forget the devoted
loyalty which has shed lustre upon his
name during the great rebellion, and join
at this last day, the ranks of those who
stuck hands With traitors and denounced
the war as q failure. To that end they
resolved and speecki6ed~~in his praise,
and sent Dean Richmond to manipulate
and circumvent and magnetic the man
who controIes the sword and the purse
especially the purse-and capture him
and bring him bodily into the Democratic
camp. The plan of the President for
pacifcation, Cancellation and reconstruc-
tion, was most especially excellent. Thus
they committed themselves.
Well, the plan so far as developed ap-
pears to be about right 1t will satisfy
all sensible people, and if the Democracy
also are satisfied, We congratulate them
and the rest Of mankind upon their con-
version.
The Southern States, in order to be
reconstructed according to the Presidents
"plan," must
l. Declare their..ordinances ofsecesion
null and void.
2. Repudiate all debts contracted in
behalf of the rebellion.
3. Pass laws for the protection of the
colored mans rights as freeman. And,
4. Ratifyithe Amendments to the Con-
stitution abolishing and forever prohibi-
ting slavery.
Here is platform suficiency sound
and loyal Congress can scarcely i'm
prove it, and rather than "stay out 10
the cold' the lately insurgent States will
readily adopt it.
We trust the Dem ocrats are as well
pleased with it, now they know what it
is, as they were before, and that by speech
and pen and vote they will give it their
hearty support.-Lancnster Examiner.

INDEFINITELY PosTPoNED. - The
Pittsburg Commercial is of the opinion
that the "Ty2erizing'' of Andrew John
son has been postponed indefinitely -
The idea and hope existed only with the
Democrats and some few ridiculousIy rad
ical papers, which made up by virulence
what they lacked in truth. live mistake
not, the time has passed when Mr. John
son would have his back quite turned on
the party that elected him, and himself
in full communion with the Democracy
Judging from the recent elections, instead
of the President losing himself in such a
vortex, the Democratic party has gone out
of sight, with the smallest possible chance
ofever appearing again. Ii is to be hoped
that gentlemen with weak nerves on the
Republican side, and gentlemen with
great expectations on the Democratic side,
will cease to concern themselves about
the course of the President.
