One of the best articles ever pro-

will be found on our outside this week f,
We bespeak for it universal read
ing. The author, it will be observed /,
is Hon. Herschel v johnson, Of Geor-
gia, q prominent Southern statesman,
and will be recollected as the candi-
date for Vice President on the ticket
with Judge Douglas, in 1860. He
gives the Southern view of this ques-
tion--upon which hangs the union Of
these States and the future happiness
of the American people. Besides, it
is, literally, "passnge ut arms with
Horace Greeley, than whom, no man
has done more to ruin this country.
Mr. johnson in this epistle entirely
annihilates this old adversary of the
Union, by raising the veil by which
he has heretofore covered his political
heresies In short, Mr.. Johnson has
confscated the white-coatod philoso.
pher. Do not be deferred from read
ing this letter because of its apparent
length. It will be noticed that this is
the second letter that Mr.. Johnson
has addressed to Mr.. Greeley. The
first fire drew the latter out of his
works, supposing that the former
had used all his ammunition; but
this reply shows that the philosopher
was mistaken, because the old advo.

The .gSsro Doomed.

The fate Of the black man to-day
on this continent, is as visible as tho
MONDAY sun. The Abolitionists and
their socialistic hackers have solved
the problem. The doom awarded TO
the sons of Ham is now visible TO all
except fools aud fanatics. The result
of the late elections in the Southern
States is but so many milestones erect
ed along the highway of their ex-
tinction, or their return TO slavery
Through tho instrumentalities Of the
degraded whites, agents of the Negro
Bureau, the black race, in ten States
Of this Union, is for the future
arrayed in deadly hostility to the
white race. This state of things has
been brought about by Senator Will
son, Congressman Kelley, Rev. Brown
low and Rev Hunnicutt, agents Of
the world, the flesh and the Devil,
who went among them and organized
Loyal League Lodges in the regular
Know Nothing style; but instead of
teaching and swearing the negroes to
ostraeize Catholics and foreigners,
they have sworn them to murder the
entire white race, or drive them out
of those States, 80 that the agents
of the Bureau and their black allies
may enjoy their property. To demon
strate what we say more clearly, we
need but point to the capital Of Vir-
ginia. What occurred in Richmond
occurred in every town and county in
the State. The negroes and few
mean whites combined and arrayed
themselves against the white race, at
the ballot bor. When the torch and
the cartridge bor will be substituted,
is but question of time. But to the
vote; The total polled in the city
was 6,974-Conservative, 3,37S; Rad
ical, 8, ,596-divided as follows 1857
whites and 81 negroes voted the Con-
servative ticket, while 1876 negroes
and "a whites voted the Radical tick
ct, headed by Rev. ]. W. Hunnicutt,
the celebrated Judge Underwood, and
three negroes. 1t will be noticed
that Richmond produces only 81 do
cent niggers, and but "a mean whites,
only one of which was born in Yir-
ginia, the rest hailing from Bosting.

BY the President Of the United
States

by the President OF the Unitod
States
A PROCLAMATION.
In conformity with a recent custom,
that may now be regarded as estab-
lished by national consent and appro-
val, j, Andrew Johnson, President of
the United States, do hereby recon-
mend to my fclow-citzens that Thurs
day, the 2Sth day OF November next,
be set apart and observed throughout
the Republic as day Of national
Thanksgiving and praise to the Al
mighty Ruler Of Nations, with whom
are dominion and fear, and who
makcth peace in His high places.
Resting and reiraining from secular
labor on that day, let us reverently
and devoutly give thanks to our Hcav-
enly Father for the mercies and bles-
sings with which He has crowned the
now closing year
Especially let us remember tina. He
has favored our land with greatly
needed and very abundant harvests,
that He has caused industry TO pros.
per not only in our fields but also in
our workshops, in our mines and in
our forests. He has. permitted us to
multiply 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, and to guarantee speedy
overland intercourse between the two
oceans. He has inclined our hearts
to turn away from domestic conten-
tions and connections consequent up
on distracting and desolating civil
war, and TO walk more and more in
the ancient ways of loyalty, concilia-
tion and brotherly love He has
blessed the peaceful efforts with which
we have established new and import.
ant commercial treaties with foreign
nations, while we have at the same
time strengthened our national de.
fences and greatly enlarged our ma
tional borders.
While thus rendering the unani-
nous and heartfelt tribute of national
praise and thanksgiving, which is so
Justly due to Almighty God, let us
not fail to imploro Him that the same
Divine protection and care which we
have hitherto so undeservedly and yet
81 constantly enjoyed, may be coniin.
ued to our country and our people
throughout all their generations for
ever.
In witness whereof, / havo hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed
Done at the city OF Washington,
this twenty.second day of October,
IN the year Of our Lord, one thou.
sand eight hundred and sixty.seven,
and of the Independence of the
United States the ninety second.
ANDREW JOHNSON.

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS
More Democratic Victories |

Ex-Governor Biglcr received a dis
patch last night, stating that the
Democrats had carried the State of
New York by over 10000 majority,
and carried both branches Of the New
Jersey Legislature.
The Democratic gains in all the
States which held elections on the
9th, are large. In Massachusetts, the
Cops have nearly doubled their vote
The next best thing ia, that Gov
Geary has issued his Proclamation,

of 937 votes,

1t will be noticed elsewhere, by the
Presidents proclamation, that Thurs
day, the 2Sth instant, has been desig.
mated as a day of National thanks
giving. We do not know whether
the ten reconstructed States fall
under this rule or not 1t will take a
"loyal' mind to fully understand these
terms. This day will give the politi-
cal clergy rare chance to manifest
their hate for the government" and
their love for the negro.

The Columbus, Ohio, Crisis thus
responds to the nomination of tho
Hon. George II. Pendlctou. 1t says /:
"The Democracy of other States con.

her voice will be potential in the en-
suing National Convention. II will
be in favor of the nomination of one
who has nobly contributed to her re-
demptions, aud who is in every sense
worthy to succeed to the chair of
Washington-Geo. II. Pendleton."

A lecture by Congressman Arnold,
of Illinois, at the Cooper Institute, in
New York, on the "late lamented'
Lincoln, only drew an audience Of
200 people. Horace Greeley sat on
the stage fast asleep. An average of
one thousand people day go to see
Mrs. Lincoln's old clothes, and only
200 OF an audience can be had to hear
Old Abe's virtues rehearsed. That's
a Joke.

A Radical spread eagle orator, who
recently addressed a meeting in Now

suddenly, when a naughty boy in the
audience sang out; DRY up, you old
fool you'd be shot for a goose before
you flew a mile"
