The Proclamation.

The proclamation for a day of Public HUI
initiation, Fasting and Prayer, which we pub
fish to-day, is perfect model, for which Gov
Chamberlain will receive the most profound
thanks of every printer, not excepting the
printers devil. 1t has grown up to be Gus
tom for the Governor to preach quitea Sermon
or, at least to indulge in a very long e4hor'',
ton, twice year, in his proclamations lor "g'
and Thanksgiving, and sometimes we n"'
thought that the less qualified the a','"oi :"
write, the longer was sure to be hiS % -
al religious communication to tine peoPie.
Gov. Chamberlain is fine scholar KNOWS
what to say and how to sayit, has had an e2pe-
rience abundantly suggestive OF suitable top
;cs f,r sucb an occasion, and yet he gives us
the shortest proclamation-perhaps excepting
one bv Gov. Lincoln-that has ever been issued
by any executive since we have been State. -
We trust his example in this regard may prove
contagious, so that future Governors may CODY
and receive like approval. ,i. t.<. Del. -..
Because it is brief it by no means follows
that it is not full The Lords PRAYER. which
may be written within the circumference of a
dime, is probably the most comprehensive, far
reaching, all-grasping and soul-satisfying form
OF petition ever used by man in approaching
his Creator. 1t is much-all-in a very small
compass. So the proclamation is all that is or
can be needed; the clergyman will do well to

The brief yet racy controversy in our col
umns, between Messrs. Neal and Stevens on
Prohibition and Licence, it will be perceived,
has been brought to close. Perhaps it is as
well. Such controversies seldom make con-
verts. Fora season at least we prefer not to
have the question re-opened; till we can get
a mass of other matter worked up, though in
short time we shall take great pleasure in
opening our columns to well-written articles
calculated to throw light upon the questions
involved in the two important words-License
and Prohibition. Let facts have their full
force, and free discussion be restricted only
within the limits prescribed by courtesy and
good manners, and no good cause will suffer
by so doing. One or two lifelong friends of
Temperance of total abstinence
and prohibition-who have something to say
and know how to say it, have promised con-
trbutions for our columns, and to such arti
cles as they may write we shall most eheerfully
give place.

Mr. EDITORIALS one of the employers OF
plasterers in this city has circulated reports
tending to give false idea to the public in re-
gard to the present strike Of the journeymen
plasterers of Portland, perhaps few facts in
the case may be of interest to your readers.
On the first Monday in April 1866, the jour-
neymen plasterers of this city notified their
EMPLOYERS that on and after the first Saturday
in May following, they should consider nine
hours as days work ON Saturdays, leaving
the work at five o'clock, p. NJ, instead of
O'Clock as on other evenings of the week.
From that time, this arrangement has been
carried out with entire satisfaction to both
employer and employee, until Saturday March
23d, when one of our employers came on the
work and threatened to discharge any man
who left the work before six O'clock. The
consequences were, every man left the build
ing at five o'clock, usual; hence the difficult
ty existing between us and our EMPLOYERS
The employers of journeymen plasterers, be-
fore referred to, have advertised in other cities
for plasterers, stating that the journeymen
plasterers here were ON a strike for nine hours
day, which is gross falsehood, as the Union
never entertained any such an idea.

ployces leave work at five O'Clock on Saturday
evenings: Portland Company Works, Glass

other firms than Sheridan &c Griffiths.
