National THANKSGIVING.

THE President, by proclamation, has set apart
Thursday, the 10Th of November, as day of
National Thanksgiving. The custom of ma
tional Thanksgiving, under appointment of
the President, is one that grew up during our
recent war. We see nothing Objectionable in
perpetuat.ng it. 1t secures uniform obser.
vance OF the festival throughout the country,
and is an appropriate recognition of the
Divine hand in the blessings of life by pro-
fessedly Christian people. 1t has often been
remarked that, as people, we have too few
holidays, and the addition OF a national one,
deVotf to thanksgiving and gladness, cannot
but be beneficial in its results.

VoTE AT ONCE.-If this paragraph meets
the eye of any Union man who has not yet
voted, we urge him to do so at once. The
polls close at o'clock, and if you postpone
voting to late hour you may lose your vote
altogether. Do not think that your vote is of
no consequence. Every vote counts, and we
want a majority for the Union ticket that
shall tell in the country. Again, we say
vote at once.

VALLANDIGHAM-Mr Vallandigham has
just made speech, in which he justlfies bis
course during the war, assails the memory of
Abraham Lincoln, and approves the present
policy of President Johnson. Vallandigham
has, at least, the merit of consistency. But
what shall we say OF any Union man who
now goes over to Vallandigham2

ment.
THERE are numerous and daily increasing
evidences that the only thing needful to
secure the prompt ratification OF the Consti-
tutional amendment by the late Rebel States
is the general success OF the Union party in
the fall elections at the North. Several OF
the influential Southern journals have already
shaped their course towards full indorse-
ment of the measure, and there is but little
doubt that Republican victory will be fol-
lowed by the speedy &C ion of most of the
Southern States in favor of the amendment.
1t is not impossible, therefore, that we may
see the amendment adopted and the States
restored at a very early day.

lac Editor.

The following beautiful extract is from
the pen of the printer poet, Benjamin +.
Taylor:
The realm of the press is enchanted
ground. Sometimes the editor has the hap
piness Of knowing that he has defended the
right, exposed the wrong, protected the
weak; that he has given utteHnce to sen
tlment that has cheered somebody's hour.
made somebody, happier, kindled smile
upon a sad face or hope on heavy heart.
He may meet with that sentiment many
years after, it may have lost all charms of
its paternity, but he feels affection for it.
lie welcomes it as long absent child He
reads it as for the first tine, and wonders
if, indeed he wrote it. for he has changed
since then. Perhaps he could not give ut
terance to the sentiment now-perhaps he
would not # he could.
vt seems l;ke the voice of his former
self calling to his parents and there is some
thing mournful in his tcne He begins to
think-to remember why he wrote it, who
were his readers then, and how much he
has changed So he muses.. until he finds
himself wondering if that thought will con
tinue to float after he is dead and whether
he i. rally looking upon something that
survive him. And then comes the sweet
consciousness that there is nothing in the
sentence that he could wish unwritten. -
This is better part of hm-a shred fir m
the garment of immortality he shall leave
behind him when he joins the 'innumcra
BILE caravan" and takes his place in the
silent halls of death. "

The Late EiecSlon-The Position
Ottie Two Parties.

On Tuesday last was fought in the States
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa
the great political battle of Constitutional
Liberty against Revolution aud Anarchy
The Democrats and Constitutional Uniou
men took the side of Consti -utional Liberty,
and made a gallant struggle therefor.
The Radicals took the side OF Revolution
and Anarchy, and won the day.
This is either an honest expression of the
popular voice, or our elections are popu-
lar farce. 1t Is one or the other, Some
thind it is one, some the other. We think
it mixed. Honesty, knavery and corrup-
ton were blended in the late canvass, the
O olatter-knavery and corruption-predo
minating, ard on the side of the winning
party.
We never knew the laboring men to take
so much interest in an election, we never be-
fore knew so many appliances used to cor
rupt them. The money was with the Rad
icaIs, and they used it freely. Persons in
Radical employ-who had influence -
who could not raise $40, had their hundreds,
and those who could not raise 800 had
their thousands to bet and spend on the
election. The New England manufacturers
furnished the sincws of war. This we can
prove. And We can prove also that that
fund was used in bribery and corruption,
that neither Democrats nor National Union
men can be held responsible for the future
That responsibility is altogether with the
Radicals. ....
The men who, on'Tuesday. spent the day
in trying to secure a vsctory for ConStitu-
tional liberty against revolution and anar-
chy, will have clear conscience as to the
troubles that promise to follow Radical tri-
umph. If no troubles follow, they have
still the satisfaction to know that they la
bored to avert them.
Those who think the Democratic party
has ai,cays been wrong, voted the Radical
ticket.
The great struggle in this county and in
the State was with the RevolutionSts and
anarchists. They carried the day. They
may change their programme Congress $;
VIC doubt it.
Those who regard civil war as q means Of
living, or as means of making money, vo
ted the Radical ticket
Those who think popular elections farce
voted the Radical ticket.
Those who believe the negro as good a.
themselves, voted the Rad;csgticket h a.

supposed Murder OF "a Citizen on

On the llth ult., Mr.. j. r. Crisswell,

BY the Chief of Police, the house being

intended to cake the morning train east.
but nothing has been heard Of him since his

A Loyal Negro.

The Rev Peter Goode, an old negro

to be a delegate to the Black and. tan Con
vention at Philadelphia, and walk arm-in-
arm to Radical glory with Brownow, Fred.
Douglass, Schenck, Anna Tick ;nson. and
those other eminents of that ordsrMs occa-
siop. The old African responds D. q pretty
steep letter to the Adrerttse,, in which he
says:

do my duty, and what little knowledge
have picked up has never been used except
for the benefit of my friends and country

a New Game.

A piece of rascality was attempted upon
a Saginaw gentleman in this city a few even
ings since which, however, proved fail
pre. Fie had taken his seat in crowded
car, when pers n near asked if he could
give him two IS for $40 The ever oblg-
ing Saginawan took roll of bills from his
pocket and passed over the two fives to the
person, receiving in exchange the $40 which
he rolled up with the rest of his bills and
placed them in the side pocket Of his coat
On examining his money in the morning he
found that a piece of black silk thread had
been run through the bill he received from
the stranger. and that piece of the same
about three feetlong remained attached -
The intention Of the party for whom he ex
changed the bill was doubtless, at favorite
opportunity. to take hold Of the thread and
draw the whole roll from his pocket. which
could easily have peen accomplished had not
the thread, by some means, been broken.
