RIDDLE & Co., EDITORS and PROPRIETORS THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 26,1'357 TUAN , llictsa.—The day yet apart by the en- CCIAITC of the State as a day of thanksgiving and praise to Clcul for all his mercies, is now present with us. We propose to keep it in a quiet, easy way, for the most part at home. We shall have a no-labor day in the Ga.tte office, and therefore our patrons and friends need not expect any paper from us to-morrow morning. Providence has been so auspicious to us that we have yet leisureand comfort enough to thank ilho for. and a dime for those who are a great deal poorer than we are. The Philadelphians propose to make it a day of fasting and prayer. That is ungrateful. The evils tinder which we suffer are of our own be getting : the ten millions blessings and comfort's at our hand are the gift of God. We may mourn over our own folly, but do not forget to thank Ifeaven for it, bounty. The Supreme Ruler is charged with a great many things for which man himself is to blame. There are certain laws of ilia which, if they are broken, we can't help knowing what will be the result. lynorantia lejurt neminena ezrusar. It is true here so at the bar of Court. That man is ?mu miserable who has not much to be thankful for to-day. We have no dreary sermon to dole out on this matter, but advise alt who read this to ask whether they have . not more good things than they deserve. We are sure that the answer will be such as to demand of them all a hearty response to the executive recommendation. But do not forget the poor; God's poor ; the tidy, sober, unfortunate people, your neighbors and fellow-creatures. Make their fin-side comfortable and fill their plotters with food today MACKINAW Crri.—Somebotly has sent us a handsome copy of a pamphlet., with huge maps and illustrations accompanying it, setting forth the claims of Mackinaw City. Some of our readers have a knowledge of that isolated and romantic spot, and woult;:probably be surprised :o learn of the manifold advantages in a com mercial, local, religious, political, and every 'other point of view it possesses and presents, ac cording to this pamphlet. Of course great cities, and particularly great cities on paper, are always Cite very focus of all the railroads of the coun try, and hence on the accompanying maps we have the Cincinnati and Mackinaw and the Fort Wayne and Mackinaw roads unwinding them selves, from New Orleans, and receiving In a northward current, as the Mississippi does in a southward current, sit the railroad commerce of the eointry, and emptying it right into the lap of.Meekitiaw City and on the bosom of Macki naw Island, from which by means of a steam ferry at-root. the straits and the north Pacific It. It , and the Canada Pacific It. B. it is dis tribute-1 again to all the world and the rest of mankind. Doubtless the finances, weather, and all things else . will combine to favor the speedy development of that ancient and sleepy trading and fishing post into the magnificent city of thie pamphlet prophecy. Deiica!me PRES! as KANSAS.—The Chicago (Douglas' organ.) the Detroit F,, (the organ of Geu. Cass,) Ptovidencc Pot:. Al bany titia,, Philadelphia Piet, Buffalo Rochester Union, Senees Ob,,errer,N. 1. Herald, Ohio Cincinnati Enquirer, Milwaultio Boston Poet, and many other prominent Democratic organs take open and decided grounds against the Kansas Constitution and he outrageous method of submitting it. The Penn.tylcanitin appears to be the main echo of the Washington Union in the North, in defending the Kansas swindle It speaks of the papers we hare : named as "certain ,presses with Black Republican proclivities." It is to be hoped they will let their proclivities have full sway. it appears, in addition to what we have here tofore stated,- that in the schecinle of the Kansas constitution as recently published three sections were omitted, the most important of which was one requiring the voters at the election, if chal lenged, to swear to support the constitution, should t be adopted, on penalty of prosecution for perjury. Armas.—The New York Journal of Coin ,Lerce says that apples are scarce and dear in that city. Newtown pippins which were in such high favor last year for export, are almost an entire failure, so that the number to be shipped this season will be insignificant The mar ket price for these is quoted at ji and per barrel, packed for shipment, and $5 and $5 per barrel, as they run. The crop in Western Sew York is fair, but in other portions of the State and through the country generally both quantity and qnalfty are inferior. In Ohio, apples appear to be plenty, and for some time they have been a sort of drug in this market. .arge quantities go through. here every day, to '4e east; and if is had been known there would be an eastern demand. the .supply might have been increased. As it was, large quantities -wen allowed to go to waste, the price offered being too low to induce holders to pack them for exportation. Gov. WAxerm LEAVES KANSAS FOILEVEIL,—A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says that Gov: Walker, when he left Kansas recently en a mune Washington, took with him his library and all hid personal effects, midi+ shows that ho has no expectation of returning. The cor respondent says that the Governor was drunk when he left Leavenworth and continued no all be way dawn the river. lie adds: - •The excitement in Leavenworth on the subject of ilia bogus constitution is intense. A meeting was held there last Saturday, which was addressed by Oen. Lane, Mr. Parrott and awl other prominent Free State men. Mr. 'Llenderson, of the Leavenworth Journal, one of the framers of the constitution, indiscreetly made his appearance in the Hall. The excite ment and indignation was so great that the officers of the meeting had great difficulty in restraining the people from visiting him with the punishment of treason against liberty on the spot. Another meeting will be held nt Leavenworth on the sth, to decide whether to vote at the venstitutional election, orfiy/a. Mtnnr.sora.—A committee of the citizens have waited on the acting governor and notified him they had reliable Information that forged city-lion returns, poll lists, 14,, had been manu factured by certain parties, mostly purporting to be the returns from precincts in Casa, Todd and Pembina counties. in which large majority, are represented to have been cast for Mr. Sibley for Governor: and they asked that on the re °tip' of any returns from these counties, they should have the opportunity of Inspecting theta and if brought by messengers of questioning them as to the source from whence they were obtained. The Governor acceded to their request. Tun New Orleans Delta his a very bitter ar ticks on the Administration for its interference with the movements of General William Walker. It says that the arrest of Walker "was surpris. ing to some of the parties Wile had received pet. salmi assurances from Mr. Buchanan and members of his Cabinet that the Federal government would interpose no obstacles to Walker': return to hicora qua, :rah or without an escort." In another place the Delta says that "assurances were tendered' by the President and Csbinet to General Walker that Le would not be molested should he pro pose to return." ts named Jacob Smith was killed on Fri day morning; near Fairiiew, Cumberland Co., by a bull which he had purchased some time ago. lie undertook to cross a field in which the bull. was confined, and bad got about half way over, wheu the animal made-biter him, and be fore over,, could get out of the field had reached The bull struck him with his horns and flung him into the air, and afterwards pawed him with his Ibro feet in a dreadful manner.

The suspension of Dutihi Si Co. and Hoge S: Williamson, we understand, was precipitated, if not caused, by that of Dennis faun S Co.

Trib. Cox:fray PAPER.-Some of our '•conservative" city banks, it is well known, always turn up their nose at country paper, i. e. at notes pay able at banks in the interior. Of all institutions in the city, this class are now deepest in the mire. The proportion of city paper protested in October, as compared with that payable in the country during the same period, is at two to one. Our bank managers will pleas. stick a pin there, and remember that it is a fundamen tal law in finance that the best. business paper is that which stands nearest relat ed to the r,vizarfer. F.
