NATIONAL THANKSGIVING.
BY the President of the United States OF
Amcrtca--A Procla m tion.

In conformity with a recent custom,
that may now be regarded as established
on national consent and approval, |, An
drew johnson, President of the United
States, do hereby recommend to my fell
low-citizens that Thursday, the 2Sth day
of November next, be set apart and OBJ
served throughout the Republic as day
of national thanksgiving and praise to
the Almighty Ruler of nations, with
whom are dominion and power, and who
makes peace in his high places, desisting
and refraining from secular labor on that
day, Let us reverently and devotedly
give thanks to our Heavenly Father for
the mercies and blessings with which
He has crowned the now closing year.
Especially let us remember that He has
covered our land through all its extent
with greatly needed and very abundant
harvests that He has caused industry to
prosper not only in our fields, but also In
our forests. He has permitted us to null
tiply ships upon our lakes and rivers, and
upon the high seas, and at the same time
to extend our iron roads SO far into the
secluded places Of the continent as to
guarantee speedy overland intercourse
between the two oceans. He has inclined
our hearts to turn away from domestic
contentious and connections consequent
upon distracting and desolating civil
war, and to walk more and more i'm the
ways of loyalty, conciliation and BROTH
erly love. He has blessed the peaceful
efforts with which we have established
new and important commercial treaties
with foreign nations, while we have at
the same time strengthened our national
defenses and greatly enlarged our nation
al borders. While thus rendering the
unanimous and heartfelt tribute, of ma
tional praise and Thanksgiving, which is
so Justly due to Almighty God, let us not
fail to impIore Him that the same divine
protection and care which we have hith-
erto so undeservedly and so constantly
enjoyed may be continued to our country
and our people, through all the genera
tions forever. '..l aa.sl-
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, the
18th day of October, in the year of our
Lord, 1867, and of the Independence OF
the United States the ninety. second.
fl. ST. ANDREW JOHNSON. ,
BY the President.

Don't whip Them.

Mothers, don't whip them! Treat
Gods lambs tenderly. Compel obedience,
but not with the rod. The other even

meditating on my text for the following
Sunday, the face maternal appeared at
the door of pleasant little home l had
often noticed, and loudly ordered a little
lad of three or so to "come in, and see ii
she did not do as she said she would."-
Phe mother, in her wrath at being dis
obeyed re-entered the house, not hear
ing the little ones sobbing explanation
that he had stepped outside to fetch the
baby in. Directly the blows and piteous
cries fell upon my ears. Undoubtedly
the little one had gone beyond the pre-
scribed bounds; but it was to bring the
wee toddling thing inside, who as vet
needed not commands, however harshly
given, and his full heart and meagre use
Of words withheld the power of explana-
ton. Poor little man, how my heart
ached for him Kissless and sad he went
to his bed. Mothers, do not whip them!
Do not yourselves make shadows in the
sunlight with which God always sur
lulled to sleep by the falling of theirtedrs,
or by their own sad sobs and sighs. Far
pleasanter it is, when you 60 to tuck

mouths. Yourselves bear i'm mind theil

Death Of an Old Conservative.

A rattlesnake with forty-two rattles
was killed at Winnebago, Iowa, last
week.
What host of "reminiscences must
have fitted around the death bed of the
sauirming old rascal. He had heard the
Kissing of South Carolina in the days OF
notification, and remembered vividly
the rattle of his Mississippi brethen as
ton. He had listened to the snap and
crack of the cruel lash in many an in
fernal slave pen. The 81 900 Republican
majority which Iowa gave a few days
ago was too much for old CrOt0lus HOmi-
as, SO he died, hateful and hideous to the
last, all rattle and venom, like the rebel
editors of the South.-[N Nashville Press
and Times.

q means Of religious instruction, we do,

. EVENING SESSION.
Rev. John Moffat, of the Second Pres
byterian Church, Wheeling. delivered
an address on the Duties of Pastors and
Parents in this Work. The house was
crowded. The speaker, in an able and
earnest address, pointed parents to the
effect of the neglect Of early religious
training, reminding them of the lasting
impressions of early home instruction.
Pastors, fathers, and mothers were faith
fully admonished to be true to their OBJ
legations to those who would soon stand
in their places.
Mr.. Bone of Wheeling, followed, en-
forcing all that had been said by scripture
authority.
The convention was under special OBJ
legation to the choirs of the M. E. and
Presbyterian Churches, who united, and,
with Miss Martin at the Cabinet Organ,
were always ready with voluntary,
chant, or selection from the "Singing
Pilgrim" which added greatly to the
interest and vitality of the convention.

THE Chicago Times thinks it "impol-
itic" to elect Vallandigham, whom it
calls martyr to violated law" to the
Senate at present. 1t says
"Mr. Vallandigham should himself see
the situation as it is. His time is not
yet. 1t will probably come. Let him
wait until he shall be called. The DEM
ocracy will let him know at the very
first moment when it shall want him."
The same may be said as regards jeff.
slime is not yet" but lit will probably
come"-that is, if the Democracy
should ever succeed to power in the Gov
ernment-that they would be taken care
of and rewarded for their treason.

The Diabolical Spirit Of Modern Demo-
orEcy,

orgcy.
At meeting of the Democracy held
at Hillsboro, Ohio, Mr.. Vallandigham
was advertised to speak, but just before
that apostle commenced, the chairman,
a Mr.. Jilson, announced that he had just
received letter, and he would like to
read it. Mr.. Vallandigham said certain
ly, and Mr.. Jilson read as follows:
I'm HE'LL" Room No. II ,450.
"I0 the Black Republicans of Ohio:
II am here suffering torments for my
crimes and usurpations while on earth.
am reminded of my great wickedness
and send these words to you to take
warning. George Washington passed
me on the other side of the gulf, but only
looked at me with unutterable scorn.-
Take warning by my fate"
[Signedl "ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
The double dyed impious devil read
the foregoing production with malici-
ous chuckle, and the great(?) Vallandig-
ham made it the basis of an appeal to his
audience to dUoid Hell by votifg soith the
democratic" party. The narration OF
this diabolical piece of reasonable i'm
pudence called forth hurricane of Kisses
from the audience, and seemed to deepen
the hatred which all respectable people
must entertain for those who can toler-
ate such beastly profanity.

THE New York World, reluctantly ad-

THE New York World, reluctantly ad
mitting that Gen. Hayes is chosen Gov
ernor of Ohio by 1888 majority, says:
1.-THE Democrats have carried ten of
the nineteen Congressional Districts in
the State. Whether the Republicans
who represent seven of these in the XLth
Congress will resign and afford their con-
stituents an opportunity to replace them
by others, we do not presume to say,
though none will deny that such action
would be alike honorable and uneXpect-
ed.n
Commenting on this the Tribune says:
In the year 1862, the Democrats car
ried Ohio on the State Ticket by over
5000 majority, and elected fourteen of
the nineteen Representatives in Con-
gress. The next year, the Republicans
carried the State by One Hundred Thou
sand majority over Vallandigham & Co.;
giving majorities, OH a greatly increased
vote, in seventeen of the Congress dis
tricts. Directly on the heel of that stun
ner, the XXXVIIIth Congress met to
organize; and every one of those seven
teen Copperheads from Ohio (Sunset
Cox inclusive) voted anti-Republican,
and persisted in so voting to the close of
their term.
What says the World to this? Was
the action of those seventeen Copper
heads "hOnorable!" Was it ''unexpect-
ed" by the World?
