A PROCLAMATION
li'i of (he United States of America:
Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God,
during the year which is now coming to an
end, to relieve our beloved country from
the fearful scourge of civil war, and to per
mit us to secure the blessings of peace,
unity and harmony, with a great enlarge
ment of civil liberty ; and
Whereas, our Heavenly Father has, also,
during the year, graciously averted from
us the calamities of foreign war, pestilence
and famine, while our granaries are full of
the fruits of an abundant season ; and
UTiercas, righteousness exalteth a nation,
while sin is a reproach to any people ;
Now, therefore, 1 ANDREW JOHNSON, Pres
ident of the United States, do hereby rec
ommend to the people thereof, that they do
set apart and observe the First Thursday
of December as a day of National Thanks
giving to the Creator of the Universe for
these deliverence and blessings.
And I do further recommend that on that
occasion the whole people make confession
of our national sins against His infinite
goodness, and with one heart and one mind
implore the Divine guidance in the ways of
national virtue and holiness.
I testimony whereof I have hereunto set
my hand, and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at the
City of Washington this twenty-eight
day of October, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and sixty five
and of the independence of the United
States the ninetieth.

THE PRESIDENT'S VIEWS.
We print elsewhere the report of a con
versation had between the President of the
United States and Maj. George L. Stearns,
of Massachusetts. The conversation, as will
be seen, was elicited by the suggestion that
the Democratic party claimed Mr. Johnson
as still being of the faith of its leaders, and
that he sympathized with their efforts for
suceess. To this remark, the President in
reply, conveys a geutle rebuke to such dem
agogues as Jerry Black, by declaring that
he (the President) is far in advance of the
leaders of the Democratic party, and that
the only way to effect a un'on between him
self and that party, was the Democrats
coming up to his standard of right, which
really means that the Democracy must re
nounce all their present advocated dogmas
before they dare hope to be recognized as
right. The President then reeuunciatcd
his doctrine that, notwithstanding the so
called secession of certain States,they were
never out of the Union, but that by their re
bellious course they had forfeited their civil
government, to reconstruct the machinery
of which as soon as practicable he considers
the chief duty of the time. This he says,
cannot he done in a moment ; but such
great and happy progress is being made in
it that the results sometimes appear to him
like a dream. He did not expect to forever
deprive of their former civil rights even a
majority of those who were excluded in the
amnesty proclamation; but he intended
that they should sue for pardon, and thus
realize the enormity of their crime. He is
in favor of allowing those negroes who
have served in the army, those who can
read and write, and those who are possessed
of certain other qualifications, to vote, but
does not think it is politic or th it he has
the right to force these conditions on the
white people of the South, though he be
lieves that they will ere long concede this
privilege to the freedmen.

A CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT
JOHNSON
BEDFORD, Mass., Oct. 8, 1865.
MY DEAR SIR : I was so much impressed
with our conversation of last Tuesday,that
I returned immediately to my room and
wrote down such of the points made as 1
could remember,and haviug pondered them
all the way home, am to-day, more than
ever, convinced that, if corrected by you
and returned to me for either public or pri
vate use, it will go far to promote a good
understanding between you and our lead
ing men.
It will also unite the public mind in favor
of your plan, so far at least as you would
carry it out without modification.
You are aware that I do not associate
much with men in political life, but rather
with those who, representing the advanced
moral sense of the country, earnestly labor
for the good of our people, without hope of,
or even desire for office or other immediate
reward. The latter class desire earnestly
to understand your plans, and, if possible,
support your adminiutration.
I think the publication of your process of
reconstruction, with the reasons for your
faith in it, will commend itself to their can
did judgment, and, as I told you, inspire
our whole Northern people with confidence
in your administration.
The report is meager and unsatisfactory,
but I think it conveys, for the most part,
the spirit of our conversation. Therefore,
although the whole tenor of your words led
me to believe it was not intended to be
kept private, I have refrained from answer
ing the specific injuries of anxious friends,
whom 1 met on my way home, lest 1 might,
in some way, leave a wong impression on
their minds. Truly your friend,
GEORGE L. STEARNS.
To the President of the United States.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3— HI, A. M.
I have just returned from an interview
with President Johnson, in which he talked
for an hour on the process of reconstruction
of Rebel States. His manner was as cor
dial, and his conversation as free, as in
1863, when I met him daily in Nashville,
Tenn.
His countenance is healthy, even more so
than when I first knew him.
I remarked, that the people of the North
were anxious that the process of recon
struction should be thorough, and they
wished to support him in the arduous work,
but their ideas were confused by the con
flicting reports constantly circulated, and
especially by the present position of the
Democratic party. It is industriously cir
culated in the Democratic Clubs that he
was going over to them. He laughingly
replied, "'Major, have you never known a
man who for many years had differed from
your views because you were in advance of
him, claim them as his own when he came
up to your stand-point ?"
I replied, "I have often." He said, "So
have I," and went on : " the Democratic
party finds its old position untenable, and
is coming to ours ; if it has come up to our
position, lam glad of it. You and I need
no preparation for this conversation ; we
can talk freely on this subject, for the
thoughts are familiar to us ; we can be per
fectly frank with each other." He then
commenced with saying that the States are
in the Union, which is whole and indivisi
ble.
Individuals tried to carry them out, but
did not succeed, as a man may try to cut
his throat and be prevented by the bystand
ers ; and you cannot say he cut his throat
because he tried to do it.
Individuals may commit treason, and be
punished, and a large number of individu
als may constitute a rebellion and be pun
ished as traitors. Some States tried to get
out of the Union, and we opposed it, honest
ly, because we believed it to be wrong ;
and we have succeeded in putting down the
Rebellion. The power of those persons who
made the attempt has been crushed, and
now we want to reconstruct the State Gov
ernments and the power to do it. The
State institutions are prostrated, laid out
on the ground, and they must be taken up
and adapted to the progress of events; this
cannot be done in a moment. We are mak
ing very rapid progress, so rapid 1 some
times cannot realize it ; it appears like a
dream.
We must not be in too much of a hurry;
it is better to let them reconstruct them
selves then to force them to it; for if they
go wrong, the power is in our hands and
we can check them at any stage, to the end,
and oblige them to correct their errors ; we
must be patient with them. I did not ex
pect to keep out all who were excluded from
the Amnesty, Qf even a large number of
them, but 1 intended they should sue for
pardon, and so realize the enormity of the
crime they had committed.
You could not have broached the subject
of equal suffrage, at the North, seven years
ago, and we must remember that the
changes at the South have been more rapid,
arid they have been obliged to accept more
unpalatable truth than the North had ; we
must give them time to digest a part, for
we cannot expect such large affairs will be
comprehended and digested at once. We
must give them time to understand their
new position.
1 have nothing to conceal in these mat
ters, and have no desire or willingness to
take indirect courses to obtain what we
want.
Our Government is a grand and lofty
structure : in searching for its foundation
we find it rests on the broad basis of pop
ular rights. The elective franchise is not a
natural right, but a political right. lam
opposed to giving the States too much pow
er,anil also to a great consolidation of pow
er iu the Central Government.
If 1 iuterferred with the vote in the Reb
el States, to dictate that the negro shall
vote, I might do the same tiling for my own
purposes in Pennsylvania. Our only safe
ty lies in allowing each State to control
the right of voting by its own laws, and we
have the powp* to control the Rebel States
if they go wrong. If they rebel, we bave
the army, and can control them by it, and,
if necessary, by legislation also. If the
General Government controls the right to
vote in the States, it inay establish such
rules as will restrict the vute to a small
number of persons, and thus create a cen
tral despotism.
My poiiiou here is different from what
it would be if 1 was in Tennessee.
There I should try to introduce negro
suifrugc gradually ; first those who had
served iu the um.y t those who could read
and write, and perhaps £ propyl
tiou fbf others, say ?200 or $25,0.
It would not Jo to let the negroes have
universal suffrage now ; it would breed a
lygr of rapes.
herb was time in the Southern States
when the slaves of large owners looked
down upon non-slave-owners because they
did not own slaves : the larger the number
of slaves their masters owned, the prouder
they were, and tjiis has produced hostility
between the mass of the'whites and the ne
groes. The out rages are inostlyfrom non
slaveholding whites against flip negro, and
from the negro upou the ijon-sjavehoiding
whites.
The negro will vote with the late master
wtioyi he does not hate, rather than with
the non-slaveholding white, whom he does
hate. Universal Suffrage would create an
other war, not against us, but a war of ra
ces.
Another thing. This Government is the
freest and best on the earth, and I feel sure
is destined to last ; but to secure this, we
must elevate and purify the ballot. I for
many years contended at the South that
Slavery was a political weakness, but oth
ers said it was political strength ; they
thought we gained three fifths representa
tion by it ; I contended that we lost two
fifths.
If we had 110 slaves, we should have had
twelve Representatives more, according to
the then ratio of representation by States,
not districts, and the State apportions by
districts
Many years ago, I moved in the Legisla
ture that the apportionment of Representa
tives to Congress, in Tennessee, should be
by qualified voters.
The apportionment is now fixed until
1872 ; before that time we might change
the basis of representation from population
to qualified voters, North as well as South
and in'due course of time, the States, vnth
out regard to color, might extend the elec
tive franchise to all who possessed certain
mental, moral, or such other qualifications,
as might be determined by an enlightened
public judgment.
BOSTON, Oct. 18, 1860.
The above report was returned to me by
President Johnson with the following in
dorsement. GEORGE L. STEARNS.
I HAVE READ THE WITHIN COMMUNICATION AND
FIND IT SUBSTANTIALLY CORRECT.
I HAVE MADE SOME VERBAL ALTERATIONS.
(Signed) A. J.
TO THE UNION MEN OF PENNSYLVANIA.
ROOMS UNION" STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, )
No. 1103 CHESNCT STREET, V
PHILADELPHIA, October 19th, 1860. )
Auotber political contest has been deter
mined by the freemen of Pennsylvania. The
Uuion cause has again triumphed at the
ballot box. Official returns have been re
ceived from sixty-two of the sixty-six in the
State. Of these fifty-four show gains for
the Union cause over the vote of 1862. The
aggregate gains over all losses are nearly
twenty-five thousand. This will give our
candidates on the home vote alone, major
ities exceeding that given by army and
home vote to our late lamented President i
Lincoln.
Of the seven Union Senators whose terms
of office expire we have not lost one. The
home vote has gained us one from the Op
position in Luzerne, and the army vote
will gain us another in Franklin and Adams.
In the lower House we have retained all of
our sixty-three members of last session.
The home vote has added three to this
number, and the army vote will give us
one more. The Senate will stand twenty
one to twelve, and the House sixty-seven
to thirty-three, thus giving to us a major
ity of forty-three 011 joint ballot.
For these results, so gratifying to the
ftieuds of our cause in Pennsylvania, and
to all patriots throughout the nation, we
are deeply indebted to the returned sol
diers of the Union army, who have taught
their friends and their foes that they know
as well as they know how to fight bravely
and heroically for the same cause.
Much praise is due the press of the Union
party throughout the State for its patriotic
efforts in the good work.
To the secretaries of the State Central
Committee, Messrs. Uamersly and Bene
dict, the loyal men of Pennsylvania are un
der lasting obligations. Upon them de
volved arduous and responsible duties, i
Many of their labors are not witnessed or
ever known to the public. They labored
assiduously by day and by night for the
success of the Union cause, to which they
are both most devotedly attached.
Every member of the Central Com
mittee performed well his part, and co-op
erated cheerfully und cordially with the
chairman in promoting the success of the
Union ticket. To the chairmen of the sev
eral county committees it is conceded that j
much of the credit of our triumph belongs, j
To all the true and faithfui men of the j
State, who so effectually discharged their |
duties and made our triumph easy as well |
as overwhelming, our most earnest and
hearty thanks are extended.
The defeat of our apoonents is thorough
and disastrous. To them it was unexpec
ted although well merited. Having op
posed the war so happily and so gloriously
terminated, they changed their policy, nom
inated officers, and assumed to be the es
pecial friends of the soldiers. They were
confident and defiant. When we were si
lent, they clamorously and imperiously de
manded our views. When we spoke they
charged that it was " puerile invective,''
They told their followers " that we were
endeavoring to turn their flank," and called
lustily upon them " to pierce our centre."
Some of them retired with both flanks
turned and their centre pierced The bal
ance were made prisoners.
Last year they assured their followers
that the election had been carried at the
point of the bayonet ; that military rule
had interfered with the freedom of the elec
tion, and that our country was fast verging
towards a military despotism. That shal
low pretext cannot avail them now.
Supporting soldiers, they became the
champions of deserters and refugees from
the draft, To rally their desponding and
disln artened forces they proclaimed that
our President had become a convert to their
views. They well knew the opinions of
those who had elected him, and the princi
ple of the platform upon which he stood,
Yet they would gladly have induced him
to abandon his friends and his principles in
order that they might be restored to power.
The spirit of slavery, secession and St&te
sovereignty had assassinated one Presi
dent within the past six months, and was
trying to demoralize and steal another.
The experiment failed ; the effort to make
it has been terribly rebuked by the people,
and the result is ihe complete demoraliza
tion and overthrow of those who dared mis
represent bur Chief Magistrate ju order to
promote the success of their sinking cause,
The oft-repeated and well established
truth of history has again been vindicated.
No man, in any country, can take sides
against his Government when engaged in
war, whether foreign or domestic, and re
tain the confidence and respect of his fel
low citizens after the termination of that
war. Anil Buch in uie unavoidable late of

J The people at tho ballot box have de
clared their adherence to the principles
which were made triumphant by the skill

; and seumpp amid the storm of battle. Let

Chairman Union State Central Committee.
Bkz&" The otlicial London Gazelle publishes
an important correspondence between Mr.
Adams and Earl Russell concerning the
depredations committed by the Shenandoah.
Mr. Adams gives once more notice that
the United States will hold Great Britain
responsible for all the damages caused by
these Anglo-Rebel cruisers. Earl Russell,
as in former replies, insists that England
has not violated any interrational law, and,
therefore, is not responsible for the Rebel
cruisers In a second letter, Earl Russell
mentions a statement made in a letter from
Air Adams in April, 1863, as to the Govern
ment of the United States being ready to
refer these disputes to arbitration, and he
declines to accept.this oiler. The only con
cession Earl Russell is willing to make is
the appointment of a Commission to which
shall be referred all claims arrising during
the late civil war, which the two powers
shall agree to refer to the Commissioners.
The final reply of Mr. Adams, dated Sep
tember 18, is very serious in its tone, and
expresses the opinion that the proposal of
Earl Russell will not be accepted by the
United States. Air. Adarns, in this last re
ply, again calls the attention of the English
Government to the fact that if its doctrines
and practices are allowed to become the
rule,the United States will not be the great
est losers. The London papers which ed
itorially refer to the correspondence speak
of the importance of the international ques
tions to be settled in this dispute, but do
not appear to expect any serious complica
tions between the two countries to arise
therefrom.

j Chill Fever, Hnmb Ague, Periodical Headache or liil
j ious Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed for the whole
class of diseases originating fn biliary derangement,
| caused by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
Fever and Ague is not the only consequence of the
I miasmatic poison. A great variety of disorders arise
from its irritation, in malarious districts, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache. Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpitation,
Painful affection of the Spleen, Hysterics, Pain in the
Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stom
ach, all of which, when originating in this cause put on
the intermittent type, or some periodical. This •'Cure"
expels the poison from the blood, and thus cures them
all alike. It ig put only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints, but it is the
cheapest and moreover is perfectly sate. No harm can
arise from its use, and the putieut when cured is left as
healthy as If he had never hid the disease. Can this be
said of any other CHre for Chills and Fever ? it is true
of this, aud its importance to those afflicted with the
cumplaint cannot be over estimated. So sure is it to
cure the Fever and Ague, that it may be truthfully said
to be a certain remedy. One dealer complains that it
is not good medicine to sell, because one bottle cures a
whole neighborhood.
