A National FhanLSS-iYiuD

But President of the United States
Il PrOciQHldtiOR.-ln conformity with
a recent custom that may now be re-
garded as established on national con-
sent and approval, |, Andrew Johnson,
PreSidentOfthe United States, do hereb%
recommend to my felloW-citiZens, that
THURSDAY the TWENTY-EIGHTH day
of Nov MBER next, be set apart and
observed throughout the Republic as a
day of National Thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty Ruler Ofnations,
with whom are dominion and power,
and who maketh peace in His high pla-
ces. Resting and refraining from secular
labOrS on that day, let us reVerently and
devOutly give thanks to our heavenly
Father for the mercies and blessings
with which He has crowned the now
closing year. Especially let US remem-
ber that He has covered our land with
greatly needed and very abundant har-
vests; that ne has caused industry to
prosper, not only in our fields, but also
in our workshops, and in our mines, and
in our forests. He has permitted Us to
multiply ships upon our lakes and riv-
ers. and upon the high seas, and at the
same time to extend our iron roads so
far into the secluded places of the cOnti-
nent, as to guarantee speedy overland
intercourse between the two oceans.
He has inclined our hearts to turn away
from domestic contentious and COM
motions, consequent upon a dlstracting
and desolating civil war, and to walk
more and more in the ancient ways
of loyalty, conciliation, and brOtherly
love. He has blessed the peaceful eff
forts with which we have established
new and important commercial trea-
ties with foreign nations, while we have
at the same time strengthened our ma
tiOnal defences, and greatly enlarged
our national border.
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
protection and care which we have
hitherto so undeservedly, and yet so
constantly enjoyed, may be continued to
our country and our people throughout
all their generations forever.
In witness whereof, | have hereunto
set my hand AMI caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
26th day of October, in the year of our
Lord, 1867, and of the independence
of the United States, the ninety-secOnd.
ANDREW JOHNSON.
By the President.
WIN. II. SEWARD, Secretary OfState.

SUNDAY CAUSE.-THE decision just
given by the Supreme Court, sitting at
Pittsburg, dissolves the injunction gran
ted some months ago by Justice Strong,
at niSi prilcS, restraining the passenger
railway companies Of Philadelphia
from running their cars on Sunday. The
Justices who comcurred in dissolving
the injunction, are Woodward, Thomp-
son and Read; the dissenting, Strong
and AgneW. 1t is understood that the
ground taken by Justices Woodward
and Thompson, is, that the remedy of
those who oppose the running of the
cars is by action at law and not in equi-
ty, as in the present suit; while Justice
Read is understood to hold that the
running of cars on Sunday, is "a work
of necessity and charity"

"ANOTHER JOHNSON"

The overwhelming defeat of the Rad
icals, at the October and November
elections, has frightened many Of them
from their propriety, and causes them
to fight shy Of the ultra men Of their
party. The factions which h9ve been
under the ban of the extremists, are
taking advantage Of this "scare," and
are recruiting their ranks with great
rapidity. The Weed men and the
followers of Raymond, in New York,
the Curtin men in Pennsylvania,
and the Bingham-ites in the West,
have all taken the cue, and are work
ing away with great zeal and energy
to recover their ascendancy in the
Republican party. In order to ac-
complish their purpose, they have de-
clared in favor of Gen. Grant as their
nominee for the Presidency. By this
course they hope to Cut-general the
extreme Radicals, and to regain the
control Of affairs in the organization.
Thus the Seward influence is once
more to be made predominant in New
York, Cameron is to be laid on the
shelf in Pennsylvania, and Chase and
Wade are to be given back seats in the
West. Yet these miserable factions
are not more conservative than the
men whose retention Of power they
oppose. They do not propose to aban-
don any of the extreme measures in
augurated by the outspOken Radicals.
But they are "policy men," have al
ways been such, and hence their quar-
rel with GreeIy, Wade, Sumner and
! Co. Meanwhile, the latter are doing all
they can to stem the tide of opposition
to their continued ascendancy. They
have brought out Judge Chase as their
candidate for the Presidency, and are
advocating his claims with great vigor.
The " Y. Tribune, Of a late date,
contains long article devoted to the
interests of Chase, and its lead is fol-
lowed by other prominent Radical
journals. Already the feeling for Grant
is getting weaker, and those who were
ardent in his support week ago, are
now inquiring as to whether he is
really a Radical and whether they can
safely trust him. Others say they
will not support any man who is not
tried Radical, having had sufficient
experience with men of doubtful politi-
cal status. They declare they will not
have 'another Johnson" and would
rather that an out-an t-Out Democrat
be elected, than to be afflicted with
another turn-cOat. And thus the fight
wags. The question, just now, with
Republicans, seems to be, VIZ a0e haze
another Johnson ?

MASSACHUSETTS,.

The Democratic gain in Massachu-
Rad, had 65 900 majority this year ne
is elected by about q 900, a Democratic
gain of $4,000! The city of Boston,
Democratic majority; last year it gave
over 1000 Radical. The Prohibition
Radicals are overwhelmingly defeated
in the Legislature. The Democrats
and License men have three-fOurths OF

Democratic candidate for Governor, is
elected to the Legislature from the town

Col. J. w. FORNEY publishes in his
two papers, both daily, summary OF
the reasons why Gen. Grant ought to be
the Republican candidate for the Pres
idency. He kindly refrainS from re-
viewing the military career of the dis
tinguished soldier; but, as he deVoteS
to the catalogue of his civic virtues
five solid columns of the very biggest
type ever used on THE Press, we cam
not complain that he has done less than
Justice to his subject. AS human life
in New York is too short for anybody
to read five columns of IHe Press, we
have reduced Col. Forney'S points to
these: |. General Grant succeeded Mr..
Stanton as Secretary of War: this being
an act of "rare sagacity and courage" "
,. Gen. RaWlin5 believes in Grant.
3. E. B. Washburn believes in Grant.
/. Senator Thayer, of Nebraska, be-
lieves in Grant. ). "Several gentlemen
named in connection with the Presi-
dency' have promised to vote for him.
6. What his principles are is nObody's
business.
All these points are, Of course, put
with that Spartan terseness of styles and
delicious beauty Of phrase for which the
venerable Secretary Of the Senate has
long been famous; but we must confess
that they fail to stimulate in us the
generous enthusiasm which warns
the ColOnels breast. General Grant
may be good Republican, but we are
not satisfied with his backers.-Ne1C

HOW SHALL WE Use III ::

The Democratic Party of the cOun-
try has won a splendid victory, but
one which, primarily, will be rather of
local than of general advantage to the
people. Had Congress been chosen
at the late elections, the Democracy
would, doubtless, have elected a ma
iority of members, and thus would
have acquired great power in national
affairs. AS it is, the will of the people
as expressed at the ballot-boX, will not
be carried out by the Radical majority
in the law-making branch of the gov
ernment. Hence, we say the late
Democratic triumph is chiefly beneli-
cial in State and local affairs, though,
secondarily, it will be of vast service in
the great work of re-establishing the
equality of the States, and by means
of that consummation, in restoring u
Mon and peace to the country. 1t will
eventually defeat the infamous tyran-
ny established in the South by the
Radical party; it will drive out Of Con-
gress the men who have turned over
ten States to the dominion of the
blacks; it will give us a Democratic
President; and thus will the country
be redeemed from the thrall of Radi-
calism. All this will happen, beyond
peradventure, if we but use our victory
wisely. What will we do with it ?
Shall we look back and cast its fruits
upon the smouldering ymbnrS of issues
tried in the fierce flames of civil war,
and thus permit them also to become
dust and ashes or shall we use them to
nourish and cheer us as we push for
ward to grapple with the monster in
our path, the dragon which must be
slain, ere peace and liberty may dwell
in the land ? The issues of the present
demand all our attention they involve
all that was dear to the patriots of the
past and all that is worth cOntending
for in the future. Upon the settlement
of these issues depend the franchises of
millions of white people, the welfare of
millions of blacks, and, hence, the en-
durance of our political system and the
peace and prosperity of the country.
The key to the settlement of these ques-
tions, is the Equality Of the States. This
disposes of the Negro question, of the
franchise question, of all the veXed
questions that have sprung from the
Radical attempt at Reconstruction. Let
the Democracy make this the central
idea in their National Platform, and
let them insist upon speedy and hon
est payment of the public debt, equal
taxation, the abolition Of standing
army, retrenchment in the eXpendi-
lures of the government, and all will

WHY doesn't the inquirer hoist the
name of Ulysses S. Grant, for Presi-
dent? At the last Radical Mass Meet
ing, in this place, a resolution was of
fered by Capt. VIM. Kirk, of st. Clair
tp., and unanimously adopted by the
meeting, declaring Gen. Grant the
choice of the party in this county, for
President. Isn't it about time the In
quirer obeys the voice of its party.

An Omaha dispatch on the 9Th, says:
Col. Powell, the noted Indian fighter,
just from Fort Phil. Kearney, reports
the weather severely cold; the ther
mometer stood four degrees below zero,
at Fetterman, on October 23d. He
brought five Crow and two leading Ar
rapahoe chiefs to Laramie. Red Cloud
will not attend, because his nephew
was killed in fight with Col. Powell,
last summer. The Indians express a
willingness to make peace only on the
terms that the Government abandon
the forts and withdraw the troops from
the Powder River country. Money is
no object they must have game.

Glorious, indeed, is the result of the
political battleof the fifth Of November.
New York, the Empire State, leads the
column, with the magnificent majority
of nearly $4,000! New Jersey follows
with 5000! Massachusetts chimes in
with gain of 1000! Maryland
sweeps RadicaliSm out of existence, by
majority of 10000! Missouri, Kan
sas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and
Michigan, all make heavy Democratic
gains. Now, let the Democrats of
Pennsylvania strive to initiate their
brethren ofthese States. We must car
ry our State by 10000, next year. Let
every Democrat ,cOrhtOr the cause, and
let the work be commenced right nOtC.

THE Delatcure Republican fears that
its "Republican friends have gone too
fast and too far in committing them
selves to Gen. Grant for the next Pres
idency," and asks 'are we to elect an
other man for Democratic purposes ?
Is our party so besotted and
ignorant that it will nominate a man
of whose views nothing is known, and
who for aught they do know may be
directly opposed to them?" We do not
know, friend Walter, but it looks to us
as though you will either fail to elect,
or your candidate must be one who
will be controlled by the Seward Weed

The recent elections indicate that

Presidency who will run upon plat
form containing an endorsement of the

attach to its history, if ten millions Of
whites were to be placed under the do
minion of four millions Of Negroes.
No matter 1chO mag be the co0adidate

beaten by the most overwhelming vote
ever cast against an aspirant for public
