ALEXANDRIA,
MONDAY EVENING, NOV. 81. 1882.

THERE Is all old and well established rule
in Virginia that the Governors of the State
shall not prescribe 10 the people thereof
either the time for or the manner Of their
thanksgiving or humiliation for provden-
tial flvors or chastenings; and this rule is
in accordance with the spirit of true repub-
iicanisr. An Emperor or Il King or II Sui
tan has the light TO direct his subjects when
to return thanks for what to him may APP
pear proyidentia1 blessings, but that the Gov
ernor of Il State in which civil and religious
liberty are supposed to exist should assume
any such authority is absurd. Every man
in such State is the judge Of his own and
his States blessings or chastiscmenls, and
Can render thanks or offer prayers as often
or as seldom rs he chooses. and for a Cover
nor, man only temporarily authorized to
enforce the laws ofthe State, to assume the
