1ntermeddIing Abroad

Few countries are so blessed with
abundant natural advantages in climate
in soil, and in Mines as Mexico. No
white races have made so wretehed use
OF splendid gifts as the Mexcsns They
seem to sink from bad to worse as by a
law of grsvitstion. When a locke on
imagines the bottom has been reached
and that whatever farther change occurs
must be an Improvement, fresh chasm
opens, and beneath the leep abyss appears
enc still more profound.
Most forms of government have been
tried, and found equally anavsiling
The elements requisite TO the existence
of we'll ordered State are manifestly
wanting Imperialism and republication
make feeble protests against the congeni.
al anarchy, and both are speedily over
whelmed by it. Governments of force
and governments of opinion are alike fu-
tile. Unrest and insecurity, the two
conditions under which social and pro,
ductive Improvement are impossi BILE, are
perpetually present.
a few years ago the Emperor of the
French conceived the idea that the de-
feet was not SO much in the essential char.
scter of the people as in the lack of ca
pabilities in the men entrusted with the
administration of public affairs. By an
inconceivable succession of accidents or
mischances the wrong men had been
placed at the head of the government
under all the various forms essayed. IF
the right men could be placed at the top,
and kept there awhile, order would be
evolved out of chaos, and an era of pros.
perity would commence. Upon thus idea
he acted. More conspicuous for his as
tuteness in detecting character and in
molding men to his uses, than in any 9th
or of the high qualities OF rulership, be
selected his agents for Mexican regener.
alton, and chose his opportunity. Iu
some important particulars events con-
spired to aid his enterprise The rebel
lion il the Southern States shielded him
from interference on the pait of our au-
thorities He sent to Mexico powerful
army, which made an easy conquest Of
most of the fortified places, and estab.
lshed itself in the capital. The exps-
aition cost him many valuable lives and
sgrsat amount Ct treasure. He set up
Euch government as he thought adapted
to the work to be done. All the arts of
segotiation we're tried in attempts to con

THANKSGIVING.
A PROCLAMATION.

Almighty God, Our Heavenly Father,
has been pleased to vouchsste to us, as u
people, smother year OF that national life
which is an Indispensable condition of
peace, security and progre $. That year,
moreover, has been crowned with many
peculiar blessings. The civil war that
was so recently among us has hot been
anywhere reopened. Foreign intsrven.
tion has ceased to excite alarm or appre-
hension. Intrusive pestilence has been
oenlgnly mitigated. Domestic Tranquil
ity has im proved, sentiments OF corcli
stlon have largely prevailed, and affections
OF loyalty and patriotism have been widely
renewed Our fields have yielded quite
sbundantly. Our mining industy has
been richly rewarded, and we have been
allowed to extend oar railroad system far
into the interior reeesses of the country.
while our commerce has resumed its Gus
tomary activity in foreign seas. These
great national blessings demand a national
acknowledgement.
Now, therefore, |, Andrew johnson,
President of the United States, do hereby
recommend that Thursday, the 29th of
November next, be set apart and observed
everywhere in the several States aud Ter
ritorles IF the United States by the people
thereof, as day of thanksgiving and
praise to Almighty God, with one remem.
brance that in His temple 10th every
man speak His Honor. l recommend
also that on the solemn oe easioa. we do
humbly and devoutly implore Him to
grant to our National councils, and to our
whole people that divine wisdom which
alone can lcao any nation into the way
OF all good. In Offering these national
thapksgivings, praises, and supplications
we have the divine assurance that aThe
Lord remainetha King forever. Them
that are weak shall He guide in Judgment
and such as are gentle shall He learn His
way. The Lord shall give strength to
His people, aud the Lord shall give to
His people the blessings of peace"
In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington this eighth day
of October in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty six.
and of the independence of the United
States the ninety first.

ElilpenchIlienf..

he fact that the impeachment of the
President is being freely diseased both
by statesmen and Journalists, is bumil
iatin'g evidence of the low depths to which
MIR. johnson has reduced the presiden-
tial Office. While all the loyal Journals
1T the country seem to agree as to the
power OF Congress in the premises, they
differ, as yet, as TO the expedioncy of ex-
ercising that acknowledged power.
The offences of the Executive have
been 50 many and various that it is har,l
to settle definitely which is the greater.
The base uses for which he has ,scd
Federal patronage is one grave cause of
complaint. But in our judgment, this
would not be sufficient cause for resurtIpv
10 the ordeal Of impeachment Congress
has working majority Of two thirds OPP
posed to- shs Presidents Policy. Ou
meeting in December, that body could
10 twenty fur hours run through bill
remodling the whole appointing power,
to last at least to the end of his ciden-
cy's term. BY this means every patriot
ic y gentleman who took office under
Mr.. Johnson, at the sacrifice of their
principles, their manhood--eould~, be
reached and all their places given to
those who Indignantly corned to accept
Office at the price Of honor.
Another charge commonly preferred
against the President, is that he has
spoken Of a coordinate branch of the
Government, in such a manner us to
weaken the confidence of the people in
them and their enactments 1t is GER
tainly u grave offence, to attempt even to
induce the people to believe that the
body who have been passing our laws
for the last four years, was but part of
Congress. ga body hanging on the verge
ofthe Government" Sill judging from
the manner in which the people have
responded to these goiugs out We must
consider that they have not been very da-
maging at least at home.
The Presidents private character is
another just ground of complaint, yet
having stood the shame we could even
eutlive this also,
Ii it is thought beat to impeach the
President at all we are strongly inclined
to the opinion that he should be tried ex-
elusiveIy Tor his abuse of power and other
nalfeasance in his conduct with the
Southern people. He has allowed his
ministers to appoint rebels as Postmasters,
Customhouse officers &e. who would spure

The Atlanta (Ga IateRigencer is a Wig
orously conducted rebel sympathzing
sheet, that has never been able to see
even the probability ofa change in South
ern sentiment, as to the question of res.
toration,, until very recently. The re
suit OF the late elections in Pennsylvania
Ohio, Indiana and Iowa, have moved the
Southern mind to cc,pt the situation,
and the Iutetitgenuer is becoming greatly
alarmed that the cause which was ad-
journed from Congress to the battle field
and re-ajjourned to congress, will suffer
more ignominous defeat than before du-
ring the Fortieth session o: that body
Il says 1T is pretty we'll settled that
the radicals will retain their two-thi.ds
majority in Congress, aud that their pow.
er in that body is secure for two years to
Gene. Ii the South should divide upon
the question of acceptance of the Gon-
stitutional amendment, the radicals will
succeed with their whole programme" /"
Our belief is that the South is not only
already divided upon the question Of
