Thanksgiving Proclamation,
PENNSYLVANIA, OS
In the name and by the authority of the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania, JAMES POL
LOCK, Governor of the said Common•
wealth ;
Fellow Citizens :—To render to Almighty
God, who controls the destinies of nations mid
men, the homage or devout gratitude and
praise for His goodness and mercy, is the ap
propriate and solemn duty of a free and high
ly favored people. As the Giver of every good
and perfect gift we should ever recognize His
hand in our mercies, and acknowledge our de.
pendence upon His providence; and though
adversity may throw its dark shadows across
our pathway, yet we should be assured of this
that "the Judge of all the earth will do right."
During the past year the bounties of a kind
Providence have not been withheld from our
Commonwealth. Our tree institutions have
been preserved, and our rights and privileges,
civil and religious, enjoyed and maintained.—
The arts and sciences, and the great interests
of education, morality and religion, have claim
ed the attention and received the encourage
ment of an intelligent and liberal people.—
Honorable industry in its varied departments
has been rewarded ; and although recent and
severe financial revulsion has filled with gloom
sorrow and distress, the hearts and homes of
many of our citizens, yet uo fear of famine,
no dreed of impending public or social calam•
ity, mingle's" with our emotions of gratitude
for pact blessings, or weakness or trust for the
future, in the providence of Him who wounds
but to heal, and "whose mercy endureth forev
er.' A plenteous harvest has crowns 4 the la
bor of the husbandman—peace with irs gentle
and reforming influences, and unwonted health
with its benefits and mercies, have been vouch
safed to us.
In acknowledgement of these manifold bles•
sin's, we would offer unto God thanksgiving
and pay our yews unto the most High ; and
call on Him "in the day of trouble; He will
deliver thee and thou shallglorify Him."
. .
Under the solemn conviction of the proprie.
ety of this duty; and in conformity with estab
lished custom and the wishes of many good
citizens, I JAMBS POLL, K, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby
recommend Thursday the Twenty-Sixth dab of
November next, as a day of general thanksgiv
ing and praise throughout this State, and ear
nestly request the people that, abstaining from
avocations and all worldly pursuits, they as
semble on that day according to their religious
customs. and unite in offering thanks to Al
mighty God for his past goodness and mercies
and while acknowledging our transgressions,
and imploring His forgiveness, beseech Him,
with sincere and earnest desire, to return and
visit us again with His loving kindness, make
us wet-thy of His bounties, and continue to us
Oiveit 'wider my Initid and the Great Seal of
the State at Harrisburg, this nine•

Latest News From Europe•
By the arrival at !New York of the sterun
ship Atlantic, from Liverpool. we have la
ter European and Asiatic news. The
financial and commercial troubles are in•
creasing all over Europe. The Western
Bank of Scotland, doing an immense busi
ness, having a hundred branches and six
million pounds sterling of deposites, hos
failed, The great firm of Dennistoun &
Co., with branches in New York and New
Orletins, has also failed, having liabilities
reaching two millions, sterling. Other
heavy mercantile failure are also announc
ed. The Bank of England had raised the
rate of discount to ten per cent. A simi
lar raise has been made in France. There
is a panic also in Hamburg, where all bills
of exchange were unsaleable. We have
also further news from India. in the fi
nal attack on Delhi the British lost in kil
led and wounded, one•third of their force.
The old King and his two eons had been
captured. The former was spared, but the
latter shot at once. General Nicholson
was killed a. Delhi, and General Neill at
Lucknow, which place had been captured
by General Haverlock, with a loss of 450
men killed and wounded.
Forty Seven States!
- -
Would any one believe, without look
ing into it, that we are in a fair way of
carrying out the numbers of the sovereign
States, originally thirteen, and now thirty
one, up to forty seven ! But so it is. In
the first place there are Oregon, Kansas
and Minnesota, whose constitutions are al
ready formed or forming. It is hoped
that they will be admitted the coming
winter, making the members of the con
federacy thirty four. Then New Mexico,
Nebraska and Washington, already thri
ving territories, will swell the aggregate
to thirty seven. Four new States to be
carved out of Texas, according to provis
ions to the treaty of annexation, will give
us forty one. Two additional States de•
mended from the area now included to
°anomie, would make forty three. A.ri
imam, Neosho, Dacotah and Columbus
territories carry us up to forty six— and
lovely Utah will be the forty seventh to
'•lend to that fair circlet the grace of her
form and the lightneet of her step."
STARTLING NEWS FROM KANSAS.
We have news from Kansas by way of
Chicago, under date of the 31st ult., which
developes the crowning point of Border I
Ruffianism in its efforts to fasten slavery ‘
upon that Territory. As the reports are
quite lengthy, we publish the following
summary from the North American, em
bracing all the leading facts contained In
tie same. if this most infamous of all the
infamous acts of the slave power is sus•
rained by the Administration at Washing ,
ton, there is nothing left for the free State
men in- Kansas but abject submission to
outrage and wrong, or armed resistance,
and when the issue is presented to them
we know well ushers they will be found. ,
The news gives the latest phase of the
political invention called "settlement," and
if it does not astonish some of the folks at
the Noah, we fancy that nothing will.—
The Constitutional Convention promised
the Governor to submit the constitution to
a test vote of the people. It held cauctis
es and ostensibly repeated the promise.—
Ituurpose to do so has been credited eve
rywhere, but the Convention has adjourn.
ed without doing anything of the kind.
An election will be graciously permitted
to tuke place, wherein it seems the sover•
eigns will be allowed to choose between
two ballots printed thus : "Constitution
with the save article," "Constitution with
out the slave article." Thus, in either
case, the people if they vote at all are corn
polled to vote for the constitution. If the
slave be rejected, It is contended that it
will make no actual difference, as Presi.
I dent Buchanan declared in his letter to the
! New England clergymen that slavery ex
ists in Kansas under the Federal Consult t.
tion.
The Convention has gone even further
than this, and left the popular will no pos
sible chance of accomplishing its purpose.
To this end the Convention adopted a re
port providing that there shall bar no
change in the constitution for a long term
of years, nor without the assent of two•
thirds of all the legal voters. And to pre
vent the recently elected territorial legisla
ture with its Free State majority, and the
Governor and Secretary, with their fait in
tentions, from thwarting the designs of the
conspirators, the Convention has supercee
deli both ! First, it has instituted a pro
visional government, with Gen, Calhoun
as Governor, invested with the entire ex
ecutive authority of fixing the time for hol
ding a State election, appointing the oftl
' cers to hold that election, counting the vote
and deciding who may have been elected.
S'ffeur I L'egtlal
The establishment of a i'rovisional gov
ernment seems at first sight to be too dar
ing an assumption of power to be possible.
But it will be perceived upon a closer ex
amination that the authority of this Pro
visional executive does not clash with that
of the United States officers. It refers on•
ly to the setting in motion of the machine.
ry of a State Government, over which the
United States officials can claim no special
jurisdiction• if it be not conceded to them.
Monstrous, therefore, as is this scheme of
outrage, it may be successful. For the rea
der will bear in mind that Governor Walk.
er, by some strange coincidence, left the
territory for Washington, just before this
plan came to light. He will be absent un•
til after the Convention has set its maehin•
ery in motion, and probably until after the
election itself has been held, so that there
will be no legal authority in Kansas to op
pose the domination of Calhoun. In the
second place, the C onvention nullifies the
late election, by declating the territorial
legislature to be dead, and legalizing all
its past acts at the same time that this ef
fectual step to prevent their repeal is &Idol).
ted. As the Governor recognizes the Con•
atitutional Convention to be a legal body,
and its acts as binding, he will of course,
consider the legislature defunct, and refuse
to convene it. Here we see what a jug.
gle was practised with the Free State men
in allowing them to carry the Legislature.
We have no remarks to make just now
upon this infamous scheme to subvert pop
ular sovereignty in Kansas, preferring to
await further developments, in order to see
how 'Sr the Governor is complicated with
It, and in what manner the national admtn•
istration may be disposed to treat it. We
are very loth to pronounce condemnation
upon Walker upon the suspicion that he
is one of the contrivers of this abominable
snare. H's has done so much better than
could have been expected, that before be.
lieving his good acts to have been a part of
this trick, we are inclined to wait for proof.
At the same time, his absence from the tar.
ritory is practical collusion, whether so in
tended or not.
We confess we are unable to see the end
of the affair, for it is not to be believed that
the people of Kansas will submit to this
usurpation, even if Congress sliould sanc•
Lion it. They will, of course, elect a gov
ernment of their own and not having the
United States authorities to contend against
will be able to put down all opposition.

In n recent letter to an invalid (not in

says: 'The malignant hostility of the

the deadly opposition of the bigoted Jew,

ing force of Indians, If this last report be au.
thenticated, it would go to prove the truth of
an assertion made some time since, that the
Mormons had secured the cooperation of the
Indian tribes in the country adjacent to Utah,
and through which our troops must necessari
ly march.
BRIGHAM'S known antecedents force us to
believe that he would scruple at nothing by
which the mots and danger attending a flat

from his shoulders. Fanatics take counsel of
their hearts rather than their judgments, and
the nest of desperate, unholy zealots, who are
creating a plague spot of one of the fairest
portions of our western territory, who are ma
lting a mock of. and setting at naught, our nu.
thority. and who ate fixing an indelible blot
and stigma on the escutcheon of our Republic,
would stop at nothing to secure their infernal
sway a little longer. Reports from Utah have,
for many weeks, forced this conviction on the
minds of all who have eared to master the sub
ject, and if an expedition to subject the Mor
mons to perfect obedience fails, it will be a
disgraceful failure, and deserving universal
reprobation.
The only method in the opinion of prneti•

to prove to them that we aro thoroughly in

city, when the tide wan out. He groped his
way aloug iu tho mud, but instead of taking a
course which ntil exuded!, him Iron his un

danger, and by silents and noise ho was ena

in the vicinity, but too late, fir - sumss. A

piles, and through a small apperture in the
