Every year this time honored old festival approaches nearer and nearer to becominga National, New England institution 8 consummation desoutly to be wished ou1 overworked people need not only an occa- sional holiday, but.a season of holidays, and we know no time better fitted or more generally appropriated for rthe purpose, than the week beginning with Christmas and en- ding with New Years day. As the labo, of the week is fitly ended by day of rest, so the labor of a year deserves it's week oi relaxation, in which every man may forget his annoyances and vexations, review his annual budget of follies, failures, and sins, and adopt his yearly platform of good res olutions. Above all itia the season for en. toying the society of what friends circum. stances, or our own deserts, may have gain ed us, paying off debts of kindness and gratitude before the devastating flood oi January bills comes in to drown the prom. ise of happy New Year and to deprive us of the means or of the inclination to do so.

 We plead for universal Christmas in no sectarian spirit Although an Episco. palian, we yearn after no conversions from other Protestant denominations.

on Reconstruction, they are careful not to admit the Presidents restoring" power. I We see therefore, that the charge of in consistency against the Republican party falls to the ground, that Congress is only exercising power which we have always claimed for it, and which tho Democratic party, itself, conceded, till selfshly inter ested to deny it.
 The gentleman's charge that, in impos- ing further conditions, faith has been bro ken with the Southern people, seems hard ly to deserve reply. Even the Administrs- tion warned them that they must abide the decision of Congress. In telegram to Gov. Sharkey of Mississippi of July A, 1865, Secretary Seward say: The gov ernment of the State will be provisional only, until the civil authorities shall be re- stored wiA tae approral ef Congress.
 President Johnson, through Secretary Seward, also wrote Gov. Marvin of Florida, Sept. l2, 1865, as follows: ssIt must, how ever, be distinctly understood that the res- toration to which your proclamation refers, 'caA be subject to the decision of Congress- Our friend has also been peculiarly un- fortunate in the occasion he has chosen for the outpoulang of his righteous indigna- nation.
