National THANKSGIVING.

"" Tue 18th OF October, the President Issued
the following proclamation, recommending to
the people OF the United States, to observe the
Goth of November, 1874. as day of thanksgiv-
ing. AS nation and as individuals we ale
TOO thoughtless as to the many blessings we en-
Joy ana the source whence every good comes.
We rush along through life, immersed i'll busi-
ness, blessed with health and strength OF mind
and body, and when we accomplish our person.
al ends, we give ourselves the credit, forgetting
that a merclful Providence has kindly provided
the agencies by which we are enable to do these
things. We forg ct, too, that we will be held
to q final accountability for the manner in
which we use the privileges we enjoy. No man
has right to ''live unto hnlself,'' to the exclu-
sion OF the demands of less fortunate fellow
citizens, and the moral and religious enter
prises, having for their object the promotion
OF the glory OF the Great Author of all good
Life, in all it's various phases, is probation.
We are daily making record for final judg-
ment. Ii we would keep prominently in view
this important truth, and regulate our conduct
by it we would not only become better and
more useful citizens, but contribute a proper
tionate share to the elevation of the moral tone
of the nation. Individually and collectively,
we owe and should return thanks for the bless
ings we have received, and it is to be hoped
chat all the people will recognize the duty of
so doing on the day appointed by the Chief
Executive Of the nation for that purpose.
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA-A PROCLAMATION.
We are reminded by the changing seasons
that it is time to pause in our daily avocations
and offer thanks to Almighty God for the mer-
cies and abundance of the year which is draw
ing to a close. The blessings Of free govern
ment continue to be vouchsafed to ls, the
earth has responded to the labor of the hus-
bandman. the land has been free from pest-
lance, internal order has beer maintained, and
peace with other powers has prevailed. 1t is
fitting that ut stated periods we should cease
from our accustomed pursuits and from the tur-
moil of our daily lives and unite i'll thankful
ness for the blessings of the past, and in the
cultivation of kindly feelings towards each
other.
Now. therefore. recognizing these consilera-
lions, |, Ulysses s. Grant, President of the
United States, do recommend to all citizens to
assemble in their respective places of worship
on Thursday, the 18th day of November next
and express their thanks for the mercy and IA
vor Of Almighty God, and laying aside all pol
itical contentious and all secular occupations
to observe such day as a day of rest, thanks
giving and praise.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington
this 9th day of October, i'm the year 1874, and
Of the independence OF the United States the
nirety-ninth. U. S. GRANT.

We do not regard the result OF the Novem-
Der election as any positive Indication OF the
future of the two parties In tie great national
contest of 1876. 1t points clearly to the factt
however, that the people have no sympathy
with Salary Grab, sanborn: Contract. Or Credit
Mobilier 1t also teaches that sclten1cliig Gun :
ming politicians will have to stand aside, and
give place to honest men.
There are plenty Of them in the Republican
party. The necessities Of party and the
country will demand that Grant he elected for
third term.
The defeat of B. F. Butler, Republican, by
Chas. P. Thompson, Democrat, in the 9th
Massachusetts district by 1900 majority, is
one of the notable events of the election on
Tuesday last. Butler had a terrible load to
carry. He had Credit Mobilier, Sanborn Con-
tracts, the Simmon Colectot business, and
the influence of many strong Republicans to
contend against, and if he had not been de-
fea.ed it would have established him as the
strongest man before the people in Massachu-
sets, as he is one of the ablest in the country.
