Whereas. The revolution of another year
has again brought the time when it is us
ual to look back upon the past and publicly
to thank the Almighty for His mercies and
His blessings; and
Whereas, If any one people has more
occasion than another for such thankful
ness, it is the citizens of the United States,
whose government is their creature, sub
iect to their behests, who have reserved to
themselves ample civil and religious free
dom and equality before the law, who dur
ing the last twelve months, have enjoyed
exemption from any grievous or general
calamity, and to whom prosperity in agri-
culture, manufactures and commerce has
been vonchsafed.
Non, therefore, by these considerations,
l recommend that on Thursday, the 2Sth
day of November next, the people meet in
their respective places of worship, and
there make their Acknowledgements to God
for His kindness and bounty.
In witness whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal Of the United

The Democracy of Maryland Alarmed.

From tie National Republican, Washington.
Maryland Democracy, gives the following
sound of alarm to its party in that State:
There never was a time in the history
of parties in Maryland when more thorough
and complete organization was needed in
the Democratic ranks than at present.
Emboldened by their success in Pennsyl-
vania, the Radicals will strain every nerve
to carry from us one or two of our Con-
.gressional Districts Yes, and we shall
succeed in carrying them. too. The hon.
est Democrats of Maryland are thoroughly
disguised with the Liberal candidate and
the miserable surrender Of their leaders to
the Cincinnati wire-pullers. From all por-
tions of the State we have the most cheer
ne accounts of the campaign-so encour-
aging that we put Maryland, that seemed so
certain to go for Greeley couple of months
ago, down in the list of doubtful States
The business men particularly are falling
away from his standard and coming over
to our side for reasons that are obvious to
every one. A leading Democratic politi-
clan from St. Mary's county assures us that
Gen. Grant will get five hundred majority
in that old Democratic stronghold, and
there is no doubt whatever that Prince
Georges will go the same way. The Re-
publican party of Maryland never had a
more splendid opportunity than they have
now and they should see that they improve
it.
Every word OF the above is as true Of
Cecil as any other part of the State. So
let us up and at them, boys, and the enemy
is ours.

Work that Should be Well Done and

On Monday week, the 2Sth inst, the
books of Registration will be opened for
final correction. Every Republican voter
whose name is not found on the list should
then be placed on. In order to do this it
is necessary that the Canvassing Commit

Districts, and chow he stands" Finish
this work promptly, we urge you. Next
week is the last chance. No mans name
not found on the Registry can vote. Let
it be the watchful care of the Election
Inspectors to see that the names of no one
entitled to vote is taken off of the list on
the last day. We do not believe that the
Registers would remove the name of any
legal voter knowingly, but names are often
reported by outsiders to be struck which
are entitled to be left on the lists, and the
Registers are misled in the matter. In all
such cases be prepared to furnish the Reg
listers with the proper information and if
they persist in striking lawful voters, cite
them before the United States Court

Srd District Grant and Wilson Club.


This organization held its regular weekly
meeting in the Court House, on Wedncs-
day evening last. The meeting was called
to order by John E. Wilson, Esq, who
introduced to the audience Purly r. Love-
joy, Esq, of Baltimore. The speaker
briefly referred to the origin of the 81 Lib
eral" movement, and stated the fact that
the Cincinnati Convention nominated the
very man who was most Objectionable.
And for this very reason it did not deserve
support. But further, he could not sup
port Horace Greeley.
First. because he was traitor to his
party.
Second Because he is too radical; he is
an extremist. The Republican party has
always recognized this fact, as is evidenced
by its refusal to elect him to Office.
Third. Mr.. Greeley has always been
tool for rascals. He is easily influenced by
bad men, to prove which it is only neces-
sary to refer to the men who surround him
in New York.
Fourth. The man was nominated by the
Blair family. This fact alone is enough to
stamp the nomination as unworthy.
The speaker then reviewed Mr.. Gratz
Brown. This latter gentleman was also a
traitor. He had betrayed the Republican
party and had carried his State over to the
Democracy. "Gratz" also, at intervals,
is addicted to eating "buttered watermel-
on
But passing over the candidates, the
speaker came to the cry of g Cancellation"
But is the party which utters this cry, con-
ciliatory towards our party. Does it show
the spirit Of friendship in its denunciation
of Grant. The Greeleyites shout thief, vii
lain, gift-taker, &C., at Gen. Grant and
yet profess to be exceedingly liberal in
their views.
In reference to Civil Service Reform, the
system which is now in force, is the best
that can be devised, and the only way in
which Horace Greeley proposes to remedy
its defects is by the one-term principle.
Grant has appointed good men to office,
and, of necessity, some dishonest ones will
get into power. But these latter have been
speedily brought to trial. condemned and
incarcerated in prisons. The speaker then
referred to Grants amnesty aud compared
it with Horace Greeley's.
The petty objections urged against Gen.
Grant, such as he smokes, keeps good
horses, visits Long Branch, &C., could nev-
er stand when the - sober, Sc cond thought
of the people was brought to bear upon
them. There had been seven appeals made
by the Republican party to the American
people, and they had all been answered in
the affirmative, and the eighth one which
is now being made will be answered in the
same way.
The speech was one calculated to do
good, and the jovial Ia turs of the speaker
shone through every sentence. He exhib-
tied rare fund of Illustration and anec,
dote and was we'll received by the audi
ence.
II. r. Torbert, Esq, in few brief re-
marks introduced to the meeting Robt.
Settles, Esq, a colored man of Baltimore.
He gave some sound advice to the colored
men and called upon them to support the
Union Republican ticket. At the conclu
sion of tho add ress the meeting adjourned.

DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIT.-Merch
are warned to be on the lookout for dan
gerous imitation of the fifty cent fractional
currency bill, production deliberately got
up and we'll calculated to deceive. The
wording of the inscription conveys the idea
that the originators of the fraud are under
the impression that they are working with
in the law, for the bill is not counterfeit
in the common use of the term, which is
that the bad bill shall be fac smile as
nearly as possible of the genuine. The
s'tiimsy" has all the distinguishing marks
of good bill, but on close scrutiny it is
found that the head of Stanton is coarsely
engraved, though a fair likeness is pre-
served. The wording of the bill is ''The
People of the in the same lettering as
Fractional curr ency" on the genuine;
United States" i just the same; then the
banner carrying the denomination "Fifty
cents is precisely similar in both notes,
except that the fraudulent one has the
words twill pay on the fasces, and ''for
dollar" below it. The Treasury seal is
well initiated. but the signatures are John
G.. Brown, Vice President; H. q. Greeley,
President, the latter written in the style
of Treasurer Spinner's peculiar signature,
which makes the bill more fraudulent than
it would otherwise be. 1t is tinted blue
on the right-hand end; the back is a copy
of the genuine note, except that the word
mot is introduced before ''exchangea-
BILE" and receivable" The plate is pre-
pared by "Candy Company" instead of
the american Bank Note Company" Of
course close look would expose the fraud,

apt to glance at the bill on the counter for
it's denomination and carelessly thrust it
