Italy.

There are men who would be glad to
see Ireland freed from the power of Great
Britain, either by the agency of Fenian-
ism or any other ism, but who have no
good word for Italy. The hopes of that
young nation are nevertheless in the as
ce2dant. A few days ago, every spark of
hope FAR the present was apparently
quenched by the unrighteous interference
of Napoleon. Gariba!'ii, however, seems to
have played Sheridan's N;achester game
upon him and his friends. lteVing es-
capped from Rome, he has "about faced
the retreating troops, with fair show of
triumph.
Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, is
reported recently to have said that the
laws of this country were more favorable
to the Pope than those of Italy, and the
Archbishop is no doubt right. We do
not desire Italy to have Rome because we
reject the Pope, but because Rome right
fully belongs 20 Italy and not the Pope.
The temporal power of the Supreme Pen
tiff gone, he would receive a more devoted
allegiance from many of his followers
than he now receives. The church, as a
church, so far from crumbling to pieces,
would show renewed vitality. At least
so we think.

Presidential Fortunes.

Economical Presidents have found their
salaries sufficient for their wants, and have
managed to lay by little for old age.
The Buffalo Courier makes the following
statement:
"Some one has collected information in
regard to the fortunes left by the dead
and tie living ex-Presidents. We learn
that Jefferson died poor. Indeed, if Con-
gress had not purchased his library, giving
him five times its value, he would with
difficulty have kept the wolf from his door.
Madison saved his money, and was COM
paratively rich. TO add to his fortune,
! however, or rather that of his widow,
Congress purchased his manuscript pa
pers, and paid $4,000 for them. James
Monroe, the sixth President of the United
States, died so poor that his remains
found resting g-place through the charity
of his friends. They remain in ceme-
terry, but no announcement marks the spot
where they repose. John Quincy Adams
left some 1000, the result of industry,
prudence and inheritance. He was a man
of method and economy. Martin Van
Buren died rich During his political life
he studiously looked out for his own in
LcreSC. y JameS n ok lelt dDOuI SlOO,-
900, $4,000 of which was saved from
his Presidency of four years. John Ty-
ler left $4,000. Before he was Presi-
dent he was bankrupt. In Office he
husbanded his means, and then married
rich wife. Zachary Taylor left $780,
900. Millard Fillmore is a wealthy mau.
Franklin Pierce saved $4,000 from his
term of service. James Buchanan, who
is bachelor, and saves all he gets, is es-
timated to be worth at least $500, 900.
From the same source we learn that Henry
Clay left very handsome estate I:pro-
badly exceeded 100000. He was pru-
dent manager and scrupulously honest
mau. Daniel Webster squandered some
millions in his lifetime, the product of his
professional speculation. He died leaving
his property to his children and his debts
to his friends. The former sold for less
than 5000, the latter exceeded $685.

If Democratic papers apply the word in
religious sense, there is no reason why
it should not include every Protestant,
for there is no substantial difference among
American Protcstants in regard to moral
purity. Used in political sense, it has
no relevancy whatever. For it was only
the religious character of Cromwell and
his party that in England brought the
name Puritan into politics. In our own
country, if the word is to be used poHti-
cally, it mast apply to our whole frame of
government, for if our frame of govern
ment is not tainted throughout With the
political sentiments of the Puritan faith
ers, what is In truth, ignorance uses
the word in its appeals to ignorance, and
partisanship in its appeals to sectionalism.

THANKSGIVING.

By the President Of the United States-A Proc
ldRatiOR.
In conformity with n recent custom that
may now be regarded as establish ed on ma
tional consent and approval, !, Andrew ohm
son, President of the United States, do hereby
recommend to my fellow citizens 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 Almighty Ruler of Nations, with whom
are dominion and power, and who makes
peace in His high places. Resting and re-
framing from secular labor on that day, let
us reverently and devoutly give thanks to
our Heavenly Father for the mercies and
blessings with which ii has crowned the
now closing year. Especially let remem-
ber that He has covered our land through all
its extent with greatly needed and very abun-
dant harYests that He has caused industry
to prosper, not only in our fields, but also in
our forests. He has permitted US to multi
ply ships upon our lakes and rivers and upon
the high seas. and It the same time Ia extend
our iron roads sd far into the secluded places
of the continent rs to guarantee specoy over
land intercourse between the two oceans
He has inclined our hearts to turn away from
domestic contentious and cOmmotions %oDse-
quent upon distracting and desolating cITII
war, and TO walk more and more in the an
cient ways of loyalty, conciliation and bro
therly love. He has blessed the peaceful eff
forts with which we have established new
and important commercial treaties with for
eign nations, while we have at the same time
strength ened our national defenses and great
ly enlarged our national borders. While thus
rendering the unanimous and heartfelt tribute
OF national praise and thanksgiving which is
so justly due to Almighty God, let us not fail
TO implore Him that the same divine protec-
ton and care which we have hitherto so I'M
deseryedly and yet so constantly enjoyed may
be continued to our country and our people
through all the generations forever.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal Of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the city of Washing
l.. S ton the sixteenth day of October,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-seyen, and of the inGepen-
denCe of the U. S. the ninety-second.

GENERAL SHERMAN.-A Washington
correspondent of the Boston AdUertiser
says that there is no loRger any doubt
whatever but that the President wanted
Gen. Sherman to assume the duties of the
War Office, and that Gen. Sherman was
found utterly unwilling to take any posi-
tion that would place him even in appa-
rent antagonism to Gen. Grant, and would
not go into the War Department at all,
except on the advice of Gen Grant, and
under positive orders from the President.
The Lieutenant General is found TO be
much more in political sympathy with
Gen. Grant than many persons supposed
him to be, and the President has surely
discovered that he cannot be used against
Gen. Grant to further the White House
designs. 1t is alleged in high military
circles that Gen Sherman went so far as
to express himself strongly against Mr..
Stanton's suspension. The secret Demo
cratic organization in Washington, of
which Tom Florence is manager, some
time ago nominated Gen. Sherman with
Mr.. johnson for the next Presidential
term, and many Democrats talk as though
they would like such ticket In case they
could not get Gen. Sherman himself to
accept the nomination for the Presidency.
His most intimate friends declare he would
not run against Gen. Grant under any
circumstances, and they are equally nan
imoGs in saying that be would not run on
the ticket with Mr.. johnson.

PuritanISn1.

A certain class of Democratic journals
take delight in styling the Republican
party and its teachings as Puritanical
They seem to be certain of having done a
very smart and appropriate thing when
evez any occasion affords them opportuni-
ty of using their most favorite epithet
They forget that it is utterly inappropri-
ate, and even if it were not, that, like that
other word Of opprobrium "abolitionist,"
it is of no more account than the kissing
of rattlespake or copperhead from which
the fangs have been plucked. The term
is properly religious one, but has at va
rious times been used in a political sense.
In the third and the fourth century, when
the great part of the professedly christian
world began to assume the name of "Cath-
olic," and the church to distinguish her
self as the "Catholic Church." the term
e 'Catholic" or Puritan was used as stig-
ma on those who, believing the christian
religion, rejected the jurisdiction and
many of the teachings of the Catholic
party. From those days until the time of
the Reformation, it was applied with
greater or less frequency to many of those
who denied the supremacy of the Catholic
church. After the establishment in Eng
land of the Protestant Taith under the
forms of the Episcopal church, there rose
in that country, the Independents or "Pu-
ritans." They attempted, only in a greater
degree than the Episcopal party, to carry
rel gion into the affairs of State by making
i. test of fitness ior civil distinction. As
consequence, the vilest, the most hyPo-
critical of mankind assumed tie Puritan
name as a means of attaining power. Un-
til their zeal beyond knowledge drew to
to them the scum and refuse OF society,
they were Jealous in their religion, and
honest 10 their dealirgs, and pure IN their
morals They made the common mistake
of their own and other ages Of constitu-
ting religion the handmade Of the State.
Their mistake showed that the more strict
the religion, the more unfit was it to be
controlled aud administered by kings and
pariiaments. OF those few of their num-
Der who emigrated to America, it may be
charged against them that they went to
the extreme in connecting religion with
the affairs of State, that they burned at
least one witch, and prosecuted for con-
science sake But these were the errors
of their day, from which they were the
first to break loose. To them, more than
TO any others, we owe the divorce of reli-
eion from the State, the freedom of con-
science, and our principles of civil govern
ment.
There were two colonies, Plymouth,
and jamestown. plymouth was founded
by men who worshiped Goo, not too much,
but too devoutly Jamestown, by men,
many of them fugitiyes from English
prisons, who scarcely worshiPed God at
all. Democracy, seeking its affinity, looks
toward jamestown. We confess to sym
.pathy with Plymouth.
To err is human. Whoever declines to
do good Tor fear he aay fall into error, is
a fool. Puritauism has lad its oddities,
tollies, aud wrongs, but it has been a
power for good in the world that has made
itself felt throughout ChrlsteDdom-
