devoutly give thanks to our Heaven

closing year especially let us remem-
Der that lie has covered our land
through all its extent with greatly
needed and very abundant harvests
that He has caused industryto pros,
per not only to our fields, but also 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 as to guarantee speedy
overland intercourse between the two
| oceans. He has inclined our hearts
to turn away from domestic conten-
tons and connections consequent
upon a distractingand ~desolating civil
war, and to walk more and more in
the ancient ways of loyalty, conoilia-
ton and brotherly love. He has bless
ed the peaceful efforts with which we
have established new and important
commercial treaties with foreign ma.
tons, while we have at the same
time strengthened our national de,

undeservedly and yet so constantly
enjoyed, may DO continued to our coun,
try and our people through all the
generations forever.
In witness whereof l have hcrennto
set my hard ard caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed. Done

Delaware DO not permit colored testi-
mony when there are competent
white wYtnesses. Chief Justice Gil

Glad TidingS,

The electric wire, connecting the Old and
New worlds, is burdened with the glorious
intelligence of the resistless march of Civili-
cation and Liberty in almost every quarter
of the globe. The wicked cause of tyrrany
and unconstitational power is rocking and
quiyering upon its rotten foundations the
world over. The Spartan legions of tbv in
viuci0le soldier in the sacred cause Of Human
Rights, Garibnldi, are numbering at the gates
of Rome, and soon his banners viii wave in
proudest triumph over the far famed Vatican,
aud this proud, defiant and despotic hierar-
chy Of a thousand years will accept in meek
est humility the ultimatum Of armed Justice
and v%alorous Right. The Emperor Of grim,
enervate and besotted China with his swarm
ing myriads Of savage and blood thirsty Tar
tars suffers an Overwhelming defeat within
ten leagues of Pekin, his imperial city.
These are but the glad tidings of a single
day, and bright omenS that free governments
are arising steadily and surely from the chaos
Of despotism and anarchy.
