DEMONSTRATION Derby, and
men Of that class are preSumptuous in public
ly offering advice to the u. S. Government
how it shall treat the leaders in rebellion =
These persons tried hard to make the rebellion
successful, and therefore their advice, upon its
failure, comes with a taint upon it, of proceed
ing from Judgment which could not perceive
correctly the drift of political events, or inter
pret truly effects from their causes. Their mo-
tives at the beginning Of the rebellion, and
their conclusions upon its results, therefore en-
title their present opinions to no weight or CON
sideration. But if they had really been as
friendly as they were inimical to the Union,
and had truly predicted the result of the at
tempt to destroy it, they could have derived
from these facts no consideration which would
warrant the intrusion of their advice upon our
Government, 1t is to be nationally presumed
that, having disposed properly Of the greater
difficulty of the rebellion, that we are at least
capable of dealing with the minor ones which
arise from it. Our Government having acted
the part of WISDOM humanity and generosity
in the heat of the conflict, is not likely now
that its just authority is restored, to alter it's
character and become brutal, untorgiving and
blOOd-thirsty. The example of England. in
such matters, is not likely to commend itself
to government which derives its powers from
the people, and therefore has the good of the
people and its approval as subjects Of its high
est consideration.

certainly very felicitous:
Our Heavenly Father, hear our prayer:
Thy name be hallowed every where;
Thy Kingdom come Thy perfect will
In earth, as heaven, let all fulfill.

B%Negroes voted, in Pennsylvania,
up to the adoption of the new Constitu-
ton, in 1888. We have never learned
that their SO voting made them the social
equals of the whites, or that they carried
off in wedlock the white young maidens
of those days. However, as Copperheads
are so apprehensive that negroes would
become their equals and marry them if
admitted to the ballot box, we are not
sure we can favor thr clothing of them
with the privilege. On the distinct ques-
tlon OF allowing intelligent colored people
to vote, we do not see any great obiec.
tions to it but if the intermarrage of
them and Copperheads is to accom- mpany
the voting. we shall have to reflect furth-
on the subject before expressing an opiu.
ion. We have considerable sym pathy foI

itude to Almighty God, lnvite the good
people of the Common wealth to meet in
their places of public worship, on Thurs
day the 7h day Of December next, and

thanksgiving to him, not only for the
manifold ordinary blessings which during
the past year He has continued to heap
upon US, for abundant and gathered har-
vests, for thriving industry, for general
health, for domestic good order and gov
ernment, but also most expressly and ferv-
emily for his unequalled goodness in having
so strengthened and guided our people
during the last four years that they have
been enabled to crush to earth the late wick
ed rebellion and to exterminate the sys
TEN of human slavery which caused 1t.

the dark time of our trouble-when our
brothers and sons were stalking life and
limb for US on many bloody field, or
suffering by torture and famine in the
Hells of Andersonville or the LibbY-so
now when our applications have been SO
mavellously and graciously answered, let
US not Withhold from Hin the homage of
onr thanksgiving. Let US say to all,
"ChooSe you this day whom YOU will serve
but as for us and our house We will serve
the Lord"
COME then ye people whom he hath so
helped and led--come ye war.worn and
mutilated men whom He hath permitted
toreturn oyour dear homes-let US throng
the gates of His temples-let US throw
ourselves on the knees of our hearts with
awful JOY at the foot of His throne, and
render aloud our praise and thanksgiving
to him, because He hath made the right
to prevail-because he Lath cleansed our
land from the stain of human Slavery
and because He hath graciously shown
forth in the eyes of all men the great truth
that no government is so stroug as a Re-
public, controlled, under His guidance by
an educated, moral and religious people.
