THAMKeaTYIna DAY.

We oil have Eeaaca 70 observe this dsy, eel
apart by State and National authority, as .
day of Thanksgiving and Prayer-a cay hon
ored only BY its suitable observance. We all
have great cause to remember the Providence
which rules over the Affairs of men and con
trolls the destinies, and preserves The lives Of
individuals and nations. In our National ex J
perisnee the past year like its immediate
predecessors, has been crowded With events,
mousntousi in their bearing upon ito own his
tory and that Of the world. But however
momentous may be our public mis-
fortunes OF our private kriefs, the
great heart Of the people has proved
i ts undinching devotion 70 patriotic duty
WEIGH should assure a. that no great wrong
can ever remain permanent. That Cat ofthe
American people At the ballot boz this fall
should make you devotional. Many other
events have transpired giving you cause for
thanksgiving, but none like this. Battles
have been fought on numerous fields, thous>
snds Of gallant and loyal souls have witness
ed their devotion to their country by the Of
fering oftheir lives in its defense. Others
and more thousands wounded, manned and
dis6gured for life, ruined in health, still live
and walk among us monuments of patriot.
ism and sufferers from the insatiate malice
of those who sought to destroy this
Republic and trample on the rights of man
and throughout the land widows and orphans
mourn the loss of husbands and fathers |;
the aged weep over sons, the young over
brothers who fell gloriously breasiing the
fierce storm of battle, that his country might
live. Yet, through all those bloody years of
war, though progress was constantly made, it
was left until now TO accomplish all, by one
great stride, to crush the treason in our midst
which has still been striving for the mastery
by one strong blow. The great mass of the
people have not receded one inch from where
they stood when the rebellion FIRST
lifted lite head. The great Fed
eral Uuion is great Federal Union still,
and We are still permitted to reap the advan-
tages OF a compact which has only been sha-
ken, and which only went to show its inhe.
rent and exhaustless vigor. We have then
sufficient cause for thanksgiving, and if we
are thankful that we have not failed in the
past, but that we have been crowned with
success, let us be more emulous in the flu
ture. Let there be general observance Of
the day made by our citizens. Every factory.
mill, shop &C., should be closed, and every
store shut. We, As a community, have been
the recipients of blessings enough TO justify
surrender of one day to the acknowledg-
ment Of our obligations. 1t only remains for
each one TO review the past year, and the
shoxered blessings from above will be amply
sufticiens to engage his best thoughts, and
make him thankful for the good which mer-
ciful God vouchsafed to him.
