cestors because of its association with Popery,
but more and more asserting its claims upon
their descendants as the Papal system shrmkS

mansions. What the Turkey is to Thanks

There is no proper observance ofthe festivities
ofihe day without plum pudding. An ancient

that the exigency of rhyme overcame for once

MIR. Fesscnaen ON RECOMMENDATION.


,- During the debate in the Senate last week,
on the bill for the admission of Nebraska with
a constitution excluding negroes from the polls,
the discussion took q wide range. MIR. Doolit-
tie took occasion to present the argument that
by submitting the constitutional amendment
to the legislatures of the unrepresented States
for their ratification Congress has acknowledg-
ed their authority to perform an act OF the
highest Importance, and consequently cannot
logically deny their right to elect and send
Senators to Washington. To this Mr.. Fessen-
den replied that Congress has not acknowledge
ed any such authority. The so-called legisla-
lures of the unrepresented States may assume
to act upon the amendment, just as the inhab-
itants of Territory may call a convention and
assume to form State constitution; but it
rests finally with Congress TO say whether such
action is to be accepted and ratified. There
are two parties to the compact by which any
State assumes its place in the Union-the
State seeking admission, and Congress repre-
senting the States already admitted The con-
sent of both parties is necessary to the validi-
ty of the compact. In the rebellious States no
constitutional governments were left in exist
ence at the close of the war; So far, they were
to the condition of Territories. Their
- governments were to be recognized by re-
--aewing the compact between them and the
States represented in Congress. The amend
: aifnent was proposed by Congress essential
= feature of the new compact; but even after
adopting the amendment, the rebellous States
could claim no rights until their so-called leg
y islatures should be recognized by Congress-
i Their proceedings for the present are prelim-
mary. If Congress, considering what is due
to the country, is satisfied with these proceed
ings and chooses to sanction them, the compact
will be complete and binding upon both par
ties, and not before.
These opinions are in perfect harmony with
all which Mr.. Fessenden has said or done,
since the rebellion ceased. He has constantly
held and repeatedly declared that the insur-
gents forfeited all their rights in the Union
81 He has also said, and no one can doubt it, that
he is as DESTROYS as any man to see the end of
this unhappy controversy, and that he will not
be too stringent as to conditions, provided the
Union is secured against a recurrence of such
a disaster as we have just suffered. Not be-
cause the doctrines are new but because they
are unchanged, because they proof against
the fallacy maintained by Mr.. Doolittle, be-
cause their reassertion by aSenator holding SO
commanding position gives assurance, if any
were needed, that they will prevail, and be-
cause he deals now as always with plain facts
and not at all with theories, Mr.. Fessenden's
remarks will be read as they were heard with
great interest and close attention.

Crying, What great boy am ~!
Christmas pudding" no doubt was written
first, and atterward changed to 'pie," because
no rhyme to PUDDING can be found in the
English language We have a shrewd suspi-
cion that "thumb" instead of Ginger is used
in the next line for the same good reason.
Christmas day is great day for the doctors
The plum pudding when made secundum ar
TEN is a miracle ofindigestibility. As concoct-
ed in England it is of the shape and very
nearly of the consistency of a cannon ball.
Considering the plums, it might be defined to
be comestible spherical case shot. Nor is
the pudding all that poor little Jack Hornel
with the whole family against him. That be-
nevolent but rather injudicious goblin not
only fills Master Horner's stockings with toys,
but crowds in a mass of painted candy and
yariegated sweetmeats, which the urchin dis
poses of before dinner and comes up to the
Grand encounter in a very unsatisfactory con-
dition. The case shot completes his discom
future, and by twelve midnight the miserabl e
physician is in request:
ono rest till morn when youth and pudding meet
the rest of the quotation is inappropriate.
Christmas day is as good day as Thanks
giving or any other, to remember the poor 1t
is a good day to send ton of coal, or barrel
Of -four or apples, or In fact almost anything
useful, to somebody who needs 1t and can't
get it. 1t is good day to forgive your enc
mics, and il we have any we hereby forgive
them-for the nonce. On this day'we will not
advert to some points of political difference
between ourselves and the Argus. On this
day we viii not reply to that whitening" ar
tiele in the Star. In political and Pickwick-
ian sense, we recognise these Journals as enc
mics. In political and Plckwickian sense
we forgive misunderstanding that such
forgiveness extends only to Thursday MORN
ing, on and after which we intend to chastise
them severely.
To ali to whom these presents come, we
send greeting; to all we wish a merry Christ
mas and many; and to all, we hope, will come
some remembrance of the great event which
gives to this day its especial significance and
solemnity. "'rhis is the mouth" says Milton:
"This is the iaonth, and this the happy morn,
Wherein the Son of Heavens Eternal King,
OF welded Maid and Virgin mother born,
Our great redemption from above did bring"
The thought of that wonderful life which
began at Bethlehem so long ago, ought to
mingIe with the merry-making without mar
ring it.

wuEN THIS Old HAT WAS NEW.
Before this hat was made,
King George was en- the throne,
Our Fathers all were rebels then,
And fought with Washington;
The tories cheered for old King George
The Revolution through,
And Dragged aboat their loyalty,
Ere this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new
The sons Of that base crowd
Revived the cry of Loyalty"
And beloved it aloud
The government our fathers made
Fer them would never de;
And they have tors its bulwarks down
Since this old hat was new.
When this cid hat was new
There was nc public debt,
Ne greeabacks took the place of gold,
No millionaire had yet
His pire for seven-fhirties spent,
On which no tax was due,
But each man fairly paid his tax
When this old hat was Rew.
When this old hat was new
Elections still were free,
And every man was thoughtto have
A right to liberty;
Arrests we're M de by course Of law,
Trials were speedy too,
And Seward rang no little bell,
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat WAS new
This land was in its prime,
MiscsgenatisH was untaught
Ia all this happy cline;
And white folks then were thought as good
As ssmso, Cuff or Sue;
Bat things have sadly changed about
Since this old hat was new.
When this old bat was new
Th. psor white man was free,
Ard every year a bran new boy
Could dandle en- his knee;
Bat now, fer every child he has,
He's taxed till all is blue;
But thiags | tell You were not 80
When this old hat was new.
Vixen this old hat was new
Gold dollars did abound,
Asd not . stamp in all the land
Could anywhere be found;
Bat now you dare not kiss your wife,
Unless you stamp her toe;
But thisrs | tell you were not SO
When this old hrt was new.

A Woman That's Hard to Please.

She does not like a man that's tall;
a maa that's short is worse than all. She
much abhors a man that's fat; a man
that's lean is worse thsn that. A young
nam is a constant pest, an old one would
her room infest. Nor does she like a
mar that's fair; a mar that's dark she
ssnnot besr. A man Of sense she could
not rsle; and yet she could not wed a
fool. A sober man she will not take; a
drunken man her heart would hresk. All
tssse she does most sincerely hate; and
