Italy Free!

At last Italy is free to the Adriatic, and
Rome is the only remaining obstacle to a
common country United under one liberal
monarchial government. Last week King
Victor Emanuel entered Venice, and was
welcomed as the monarch of a great Ital-
ian people should be. The dream Of Ven
ice is at last realized, the beautiful city of
the sea adds her maratime wealth and his
tory of centuries, the most marked ard
marvellous of which we read, to the fresh
annals of the newly awakened Italian Pen
insula. The original capital still awaits
rightful possession, but Rome will yet greet
the sovereign of an undivided Italy, and
reassert her claim as the proud mistress of
the new born nation. The retirement of
the French and Mr.. Gladstone's mission
are paving the way to the fulfillment OF
Italys waiting hope. The tri-color shall
yet float from the castle of st. Angelo, and
then the words of Victor Emanuel to Ven
ice by telegraph, when he was informed
that the tri-color had been unfurled on the
place st. Mark, will take double signif-
canoe:
"To GEN. RAvEI, AT VENICE: At hou-
sand thanks, General. Happy am l to see
realized the aspirations of SO many centu-
RES. Italy is one and free. Italians must
now defend and keep it so.-VIcroR

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, 1t has been the good and
worthy custom Of the Commonwealth to
set apart, annually, day for the special
acknowledgment of the goodness of the
ALMIGHTY, and for expressing, by the
whole people, at one time, and with COM
mon voice, the THANKS and PRAISE which
throughout the year are springing from
the hearts of men; therefore,
/, ANDREW G. CURTIN, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do, by
this, my Proclamation, recemmend that
the good people of the Commonwealth
observe
Thursday, the 29M day Of Novem5er, ner',
as day of Thanksgiving and Prayer, and
do then assemble In their respective
churches, and places of worship, and make
their humble offering to ALMIGHTY
GoD for all His blessings during the past
year.
For the abundant gathered fruits of the
earth;
For the thus far continued activity Of
industry;
For the general preservation of Health !;
And especially for that in HIS DIVINE
MERCY, He hath stayed the threatened
PestiIence.
And, moreover, that they do beseecb
Him to continue unto us all His Blessings,
and to confirm the hearts of the people of
these United States that by the lawful
force Of their will, Deeds of good JUSTICE,
WISDOM and MERCY may be done.
Given under my hand and the great seal
of the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty
ninth day Of October, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-six, and Of the Commonwealth the
ninety-frst.

thus the matter will be settled we shall at
least be secure of life, property and resi-
dence in the country We failed, and we
must wait for our offence to be forgotten" "
They would see that presently the affair
will "blow over" if only they act prudent
"; but that their present course is only cal
culated to excite resentment against them.
Congress, which would have the power,
under the amendment, would, before many
yeats pass, remit the very light penalty put
upon them, and restore them-or all who
showed proper spirit-to all privileges,
and they might still hope for political
future
Rut they seem little inclined for such
wisdom. They are as besotted now as they
were in 1860, when they deliberately made
war against the Union, and really believed
their treason would not be resisted. Their
crazy attempt then not only brought ruin
upon their own states, but enormous losses
and suffering upon the northern people. So
too, their present course threatens to infilct
upon us, as we'll as upon the southern states,
further injuries. The southern leaders have
capacity for mischief thrt is to say-so
much we must grant them; they are able
to keep the country in disorder; but, when
ever the people of the United States come
fairly to see this, nothing is SO probable as
that they will sweep away, with the strong
arm of justice, these infatuated hinderers
of peace and prosperity, these malignant
and stubborn mischiefmakers. If the men
who led the way in the great treason insist
on being hanged or expatriated, they may
yet have their will-ane that sooner than
they think.
