Commonwealth Of PennSyludnia
Unto God, our Creator, we are indebted
for life and all It's blessings. It, therefore,
becomes us at all times to render unto Him
the homage of grateful hearts; and in the
performance of our sacred duties, to setapart
special periods to "enter into His gates with
thanksgiving and into His courts with praise"
For this purpose, and in accordance with
established custom, have designated THURS
DAY, THE 26TH DAY OF NOVEMBER NEXT, and
recommend that the people of this Common
wealth on that day refrain from their usual
avocations and pursuits, and assemble MT
their chosen places ofworship, to ''praise the
name of God aud magnify Him with thanks
giving devoutly to acknowledge their de-
pcndcnce, and lay upon His affairs the cheer
full offerings of grateful hearts.
Let US thank Him with Christian humility
for health and prosperity, abundant haryests,
the protection of commerce, and advance
ment of scientific, mechanical and manutac-
turing interests our progress in education,
morality, virtue and social order; the increase
of our material wealth exemption from pes
tilcnce and contagious diseases and the de-
structive influences of war for having bles-
sed US a people and a nation, and opened
before Us the brig htest prospects for the fu-
ture and for all other blessings, both tenn
poral and spiritual.
With sure reliance upon Divine favor, let
us pray for the forgiveness of our sins ma
king public confession of our dependence
that we may continue WORTHY of His parental
love and protecting cs.rn .L-.s our oTrH and
Teiis Ious iperses and political rights may
remain Inimpaired that may remember
with gratitude our country's brave defenders,
and cherish with sympathy their widows
and orphan children and that our paths
through life may be directed by the example
and instructions of the Redeemer, who died
that we might enjoy all the blessings which
flow therefrom, and eternal life in the world
to come.

of the State, at Harrisburg, this twenty
eighth day of October, in the year of our

Incorporate Zeal.

Two weeks ago, an article appeared in
these columns relative to the alleged Dem
ocratic election frauds in the 21st Cop-
gressional district of this State Thi;
article contained, in the general specifca
tion of frauds charged, a statement to the
effect that certain foreign-born inmates of
the St. Xavier Catholic Monastery at
Youngstown, Westmoreland county, voted
at the October election without first hav-
ing gone through the formality of obtain
ing naturalization papers. The article in
question was copied from the Uniontown
Standard and duly credited to that paper,
and was published by us as an item of
current political report, and without a
word of comment. But the editor of the
Freeman, who imagined he saw point to
be made in his own favor, fshed out the
extract referred to above, and, maliciously
assuming it to be our utterance, and en-
deavoring to make his readers believe it
such, proceeded to say:
''Now we will bet either of the editors of
the AHeghanian $500 that not a member of
'the Catholic Monastery of ST Xavier voted
unless he was either native or naturalzed
citizen. Such stuff we would expect from
Covode, born know-Nothing, and his toad
les, but the AUeghdnIan does not believe it.
and ought not to publish it. 1t is pretty hard
fare for its Catholic readers to charge that
their clergymen and reIigieuse are guilty
of fperjury; and violation of the election laws"
The editor of the Freeman is over
anxious to display his zeal in his new-found
faith. We made no accusation against
ST. Xavier We merely printed news
paragraph as we found it in an exchange
st. Xavier may be very nice institution,
three stories high, built of brick, and sup
piled with all the modern ce--nniences .
and on the other hand, it may be an hum
BILE, unpretenticus concern-we don't know
which. Its inmates who voted may have
all been legally qualified to exercise the
elective franchise and again, maybe some
or all of them ought to have been nom
voters. We know nothing about this
either, and it can scarcely be said oir us
that we particularly care. But we do
know that the Freeman has resorted to
a very low trick TO injure us and gain APP
plause for itself from certain class of
people. The ability to offer to bet $500
may be nice thing, but the possession of
at least modicum of honesty and common
decency is nicer. The editor of the
Frecman may be largely endowed in the
former respect, but we fear he is lacking
in the latter.

u. s. Senator.
in the latte

Our next Legislature will elect Re
publican successor to Hon. Charles A.
Buckalew in the United States Senate.
Who will be the man The names of a
large number of Republicans are mention
ed in that connection-all good men and
true, and worthy and well qualified to fill
the office. But the name of Hon John
Scott, of Huntingdon, appears to loom up
most prominently in the foreground. Mr..
Scott is everywhere known to be one of
the ablest men in the State We heard a
gentleman say, not long since, that he had
''listened to all the best speakers OF either
party during the late campaign, and that
John Scott was head and shoulders
above any and all of them in point of gen
eral ability" This is high, but mcrited,
praise. Then, he is representative Re
2ublican-an advocate and exponent of
the advanced principles of the great Re
nublican creed. We trust the State will
honor itself by electing Mr.. Scott to rep
resent it in the upper house of Congress.
He will reflect higher measure of credit
upon the State in that capacity than prob
ably any other available man.
