Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving:
By the President of the United States OF
Anlerird:
PROCLAMATION.
In the year which is now drawing to its
end the art, the skill and the labor of the
people of the United States have been EN-
ployed with greater diligence and vigor, and
oh broader fields than ever before, and the
fruits of the earth have been gathered into
the granary and the storehouse in marvel
Gus abundance. Our highways have been
heightened, and new and prolific regions
have been occupied. We are permitted to
hope that long protracted political and SEC
lonal dissensionS are, at no distant day, to
give place to returning harmony and fra.
ternal affection throughout the Republic
Many foreign states have entered into liber-
al agreements with US, while nations which
are far off, and which, Heretofore, have
been unsocial and an. exclusive, have become
our friends. The annual period Of rest
which We have reached in health and trans
quality, ard which is crowned with so many
blessings, is, by universal consent, cod
venient and suitable one for cultivating per-
sonal piety and practising public devotion.
l, therefore, recommended that Thursday
0tc ttoCtt6-ctLGe ooJ " 4fOtCWOcT UeIt, Uc
set opart and observed by all the people of
the United States as day of public praise,
thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty
Creator and Divine Ruler of the Universe,
by whose ever watchful, mcrciful and gra
cious providence alone, states and nations,
no less than families and individual men,
do live and move and have their being.
In witness whereof have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be af-
fixed. Done at the city of Wash>
L. s. ington this twelfth day of October,
in the year of our Lord, one thou
sand eight hundred and sixty
eight, and Of the Independence Of
the United States the ninety
third.

TEARING Down BILLS. - We notice
with regret that some persons consider it
necessary to prove their devotion to the
party to which they belong by tearing
down The bills calling political meetings of
their opponents. A majority of the bills
announcing the Democratic meeting on
Wednesday evening we're so torn down,
and many of the-bills announcing the speech
of Mr.. WILLIAMS also. We will be chart
table enough to presume it is done by. boys
too young to know better. Scalping few
of them would be a salutsry lesson.

PENNY WHISTLE LOGIC.-Last week our
Opaque headed Deighbor, the Tribune, writ
ing in the service of the man with the
''greenbacks,' insists that Mr.. SAWYER,
"unaided and alone" obtained the appro-
priatioDs made for our harbor; and in the
same BREATH admits that Mr.. MARKHAM
was sent to Washington to aid in obtaining
those same appropriations and admits,
further, that MIR. MARKHAM did go and
did aid in obtaining the said appropriations
at the request of Mr.. SAWYER, who said
that he could not get any thing for us unless
Mr. MARKHAM was sent to assist him.
What beautiful logic there is in the above /;
which, reduced to sinples, is as follows
First, Mr.. SAWYER obtained the appropri-
ations ''unaided and alone" Second, he
wanted Mr.. MARKHAM to go to Washing
ton to aid him, and Mr.. MARKHAM did 60,
and did aid him. And yet, the muddle-
headed writer of the above says that Mr..
SAWYER, ''unaided and alone," obtained
the appropriations. The absurdity and
block headism of such reasoning needs no
comment. But what on earth is the reason
that the Tribune refuses to give Mr..
MARKHAM any credit for anything that
has been done for our harbor? Has he in
CURED the petty spite nd hate Of the con
cern? Things squint that way.
Now, we say that if Mr.. SAWYER has
done even all that the Tribune claims he
has done, then he has done no more than
he pledged himself to do before he was
first sent to Congress, no more than Sena-
tor HOWE has done ih our behalf and no
more than CHAs. A. ELDRIDoE [who is
considered the bitterest enemy of the Re-
publican party in Congress- has done for
Sheboygan, and no more than Mr.. Villas
will do if he succeeds in being elected In
place of Mr.. SAWYER.

GEORGE B. SMITH IN MANITowoC.-
Hon. GEO. b. SMITH, of Madison, ad-
dressed, on Wednesday evening, at Turner
Hall, one Of the largest audiences that
ever gathered in Manitowoc. Every seat
was filled, and every available space of
standing room in the large hall was occu-
pied from the time he commenced his ad
dress until he brought it to a close.
The meeting WIS called to order by JERE.
CROWLEY, Esq, President Of the Seymour
and Blair Campaign Club, who nom mated
Hon. GEORGE REED as President; Messrs.
j. NJ. Dixon, TANGEL McCRAcKEN, JOHN
LANTRY and LOUIS KEMPER as Vice Pres
idents, and Messrs. Z. g. SMITH aud JOHN
NJ. READ as Secretaries.
Judge REED introduced the distinguish
ed orator of the evening, who, for nearly
three long hours, held that vast audience
spell bound By his eloquence. We regret
that we have neither time L or space to give
even synopsis Of bis address, and, if we
had both, 10 synopsis that we could give
would do justice to it. 1t was a mastery
vindication of the aims and purposes of the
great Democratic party, and an able and
convincing refutation of all the sanders
that have been launched against it. He
arraisned the Republican party in words oc
burning eloquence, for its prostitution and
perverslon of the power which was placed
in its hands for the suppression of the re-
belion, and he supported every charge lie
made of extravagance and m:sgovernment
by an array of facts and figures that cannot
be controverted. His audience frequently
broke into loud and long continued demon
strations Of approval, and then rclapsed
into an attentive and breathless silence,
broken only by the uneasy squirming Of a
few conscience. stricken Radicals, who
writhed under his mcrciless sarcasm and
resistless logic. He closed with a pero-
ration, the beauty and eloquence of which
we have never heard surpassed.
At the close Of the speech three hearty
cheers were given for GEORGE B. SMITH,
aud three more for 10. Villas and the
Democratic ticket, and the meeting ad
journed. MIR. SMITH was escorted to his
hotel by the Manitowoc Brass Band. He
speaks to night Thursday at Two Rivers.
W hope our Two Rivers friends will give
him rousing house. Not only 60 your
selves, hut urge your friends and acquain-
tances-Democratic and Republican-to at
tend also. You will not regret it.
