ciple that his duty is to protect the rebels
and. not the freedmen, for On no other
theory can we account foi his conduct.
But if these freedmen are not people
within the view Of this article of the
Constitution, they cannot be held to be.
'persons' within the view Of the article
which prescribes no representatives in
Congress shall be apportioned. Ii they
are persons at all, they clearly belone
to the militia, no matter what any one
may say to the contrary. Whenever
called upon to defenS the State against
invasion their refusal would avail them
nothing, they would be obliged to serve.
1t is worthy of notice here that Gen. Lee
strenuously urged the rebel government
to arm the negroes and the question, Of
doing so was undecided when the cOnfed-
eracy fell. Gen Butler proved by rebel
records that in Louisiana, the very State
where the negroes are now being disarm-
ed by rebels, they were during the war
armed, enlisted and regularly trained as
rebel troops.
Thus, however we regard this qu estior
we see but one conclusion-that the ne
groes of the South have the constitu-
tional right to keep and bear arms. If
they have not, then they cannot consti-
tutionally be counted all in apportioning
representatives, to the South. If they
have not, then no one south but rebel
has the right to bear arms, and the men
whom we used for our own purposes in
the war must be abandoned. In guaran-
teeing this ipestimable popular right, the
Constitution intended that men should
use the arms to defend their homes and
their families against oppression.
No class in the country stands more in
need of such protect ion than the frceds
men Of the south, AMI it is exactly be-
cause the rebels know this that they de-
priye them of arms. We hold that in
permitting this to be done Andrew John
son has been grossly derelict to his duty
and in this respect, as in so many Others
he has shown that VIII lie perpetually pra
ting about the Constitution he totally
disregards its most invaluable provisions
He has allowed the souther negroes tt
be disarmed, knowing as he did that i
so disai med the scheme to reduce then
to state of abiect peonage could not b
be resisted by them. Whether this wa
accidental or not on his part may be seer
by the fact that at the same time he dit
this he resisted to the uttermost the ex-
tension of civil rights to the freedmen
whereby they could peaceably defend thei
interests with some chance Of success il
conrts of law and justice. The disarm
ament of the blacks is manifestly part o
the gcnera'reactionary scheme,

NATIONAL. THANKSGIVING.
A PROCLAMATION.

Almighty God, Our Heavenly Father,
has been pleased to youchssfe to us, as
people, another year of that national life
which is an indispensable condition of
peace, security and progress. That year,
moreover has been crowned with many
peculiar blessings. The civil war that
was so recently among us has lot been
anywhere reopened. Foreign interven-
ton has ceased to excite alarm or appro-
hension. intrusive pestilence has been
beniguly mitigated. Domestic tranquil
ity has i'm proved, sentiments of conclli.
alton havelargely prevailed, and affections
ofloyalty and patriotism have been widely
renewed. Our fields have yielded quite
abundantly. Our mining industy has
been richly rewarded, and we have been
allowed to extend our railroad system far
into the interior re cesses 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, I, Andrew johnson,
President Of the United States, do hereby
recommend that Thursday, the 10Th of
November next, be set apar; and observed
everywhere in the several States and Ter
ritories of the United States by the people
thereof, as day of thanksgi wing and
praise to Almighty God, with one remem-
brance that in His temple doth every
man speak His Honor. l recommend
also, that on the solemn occasion. we do
humbly and devoutly implore Him to
grant to our National councils, and to our
whole people that divine wisdom which
alone can lead any nation into the way
of all good. In offering these national
thapksgiyings, praises, and supplications
we have the divine assurance that ''The
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, and the Lord shall give to
His people the blessings of peace"
In witness whereof l 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.

REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at WAITHAM Mass.


II Is made on the best principle Its francis compos-
cd of SOLID PLATES. NO jar can interfere with the
harmony Of Its working and sudden shock can dam
age its machinery. Every piece is made and finished
by machinery Itself hmons for it's Loyelty, as well as
for its effectveness) and is therefore properly made
The watch is what all mechanism should be-ACCU
RATE, SIMPLE, STRONG, AND ECONOMICAL
Except high grades, too costly for general use
foreign watches chiefly made by women and boys,
Such watches composed of several hundred pieces,
screwed and rived together and require constant re-
pairs to keep them in any kind order All persons
who have carried 'ancres," "lepines" and English
Patent Levers are perfectly well OF the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning Of our enterprise,smore than ten
years'ago, it object to make thoroughly good
owprced watch for the million, to take the place of
these foreign mpostonsthe refuse of foreign fncto-
rieswhich were entirely unsuitable at home and per-
fectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this may be under
stood from the fact that after many years of public
trial, we now make MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF ALL
THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES, and
that others have given such universal satisc
ton While this department Of business is contin-
ued with increased facilities for perfect work are at
present engaged in the manufacture of watches Of the
very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN To CHRoNoMETRY
unequalled by anything hitherto made by ourselves,
and unsurpassed by anything made in the world. For
this purpose have the ampest acili ties We have
erected addition main buildings expressly for
this branch of business, and have filled it with the
best workmen in our service New machines and appli-
have been constructed which perform their work
with decacy and exactness. The choicest
and approved materials only used and chal
lenge comparison between this grade of our work and
the finest imported chronometers. We do not pretend
sell watches for less money than foreign watches
but do without fear of contradiction that for
the money product is ncomparably superior.
All watches, Of whatever grade, fully warranted
and his is good stal times against
agents in all parts of the world.
CAUTIoN-Ths public cautioned to buy only
respectable dealers. All persons selling counterfeits
will be prosecuted.
