JEREMAII X,XX : 19, 21.
'We are summoned this
. 29th`day of
November, 1860 by a proclamation of
the Governor of this CommonWettith to
consider and acknowledge the mercies of
clod toward us as a people, during the
,year that is past.
He ; recommends to all the ,people of
this State that setting aside oil this day
all wordly pursuits they assembhtin their
respective places of worship - and unite in
offering, " Thanks to God for His Mani
fold goodness and imploring his forgive
ness and the continuence of his mercies."
We observe this day day then. Not
because it is commandedfdr .no one
could command it but God, but because
the recommendation of 'the executive
meets a cordial response , from every
giateful heart. We honor theetimmons.
In obedience to it we are all here. We
have entered these gates with thanks
giving, and these courts with praise.
We might on an occasion like the
present, profitably advert as subjeCts of
grateful thanksgiving to 'our , •per'onal
mercies, such as our continuance in being,
our vigor of body and soundness of mind,
our restoration from sickness, our pre
servation in peril, our means'ef 'instruc
tion, a competent share of - the good
things of this life, our home's, 'OW food,
our raiment, our friends and our rest.
We might advert to our family blew.

World to., the seasons that have ,come
freighted'with unprecedented abundance,
filling to overflowing our barns and crowd
ing-our great thorough fares sad store
houses with food for every land. g.
We might advert to the fact that no
pestilence has swept over the land, or
fallen upon any portion of it. We might
advert to our friendly relations with 'all
the nations of the earth, to our peace
and continued national prosperity. We
might advert to our spiritual mercies, to
the open Bible, free to all, "to the return
ing Sabbath that weekly greets us, to
the house of prayer, to which we can re
sort unmolested, to the freedom of , con
science that sufferk evetY man to chnose
his own mode. of: worship and praise, and
to all the Promises of the gospel and to
the hopes of the future.
These are only a few of our mercies
0, how great is the sum of them I -The
Lord bath done great things for tutwhere
of we are glad. True, in the midst df ell
this abundance and prosperity there has
arisen odcasion for anxious solicitude to
every lover of his land and race.
A little cloud, at'first no bigger • than
a man's hand has been seen rising in the
south, looming up darkly And ominously
and threatenieg 'to east its baneful shad

trembling for the ark of our ti*tional
saky. Whether the cloud will go on
kathbring thicker and darker till it burst
with overwhelming fury and disaster, or
Wt)ther it will be rolled back or scat

can, predict.

that God can and will make the wrath of
man to praise him so that even out of
the very troubles of ''d• nation ray be ex

of the year we can select but one as the
theme of thanksgiving on the present
occasion—"and out of them shall pro
ceed thanksgiving and the voice of them
that make merry, 'and their nobles shall
be of themselves, and their governor shall
proceed From the midst of them."
To understand this we must remember
that the Jews, to whom the text refers
were captives in a foreign land, cut off
from all their former privileges, civil and
religions. They had no ''voice in the
election of their' rulers, or ih the affairs
of the nation. Theft' time and service
were at the" disposal of others. They
could meet for the worship of the God of
their fathers, only by permission of their
rulers.
The prophet Jeremiah bid predidted
this state of things and had again and
again warned •his countrymen to repent
of the sins that were soon to bring upon
them such sore and overwhelming calam
ities. But the , warning was unheeded=
the judgments. Came and for seventy
years they were slaves under , a govern
ment in the affairs of,which they had no
voice no represontation, no liberty of
conscience.
But better times were in , store for
them. They were soon to bp returned
to their own hind and to a restoration of
all their civil and religious privileges—
'Thus saith the Lord, Behold I will
bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents
and have mercy on his dwelling Places,
and the city shall be builded upon her
own heap and' the palace shall remain
after the manner thereof." For this he
says there shall be 'a general thanksgiv
ing of the people, "and out of them shall
proceed thanksgiving and the voice of
them that make merry."
And then the prophet goes on to speci
fy some of the particular causes of thanks-
giving. Tireir numberishould be greatly
multiplied. Their children should be as
theyhad been formerly;their congregation
should be established ; their oppressors
should be punished, and they should
have the privilege of electing their own
.rulers, "and their nobles shall be of
themselves, and their governor shall pro
ceed from the midst of them."
I. It is•a great privilege and matter of
devout thanksgiving to have a voice in
the election of those who are to act for
us and into whose hands are entrusted
great and valuable interests
It is a great privilege to have a voice
in the election of those who are to man
ago and control our temporal affairs. In
all matters in which we are, personally
concerned, we claim to be heard by men
of our own choice.
Every member in a fire insurance com
ps,ny, every stockholder in a bank, or
rail road, every parent in the education
of his children, every member of a church
claim a voice, in the election of the, men
into whose hands they entrust their chil
dren, their property or.their, spiritual in
terests.

rulers are invested with authority by the
people, "Their nobles are of themselves."
Here every man is a noble, or may be
one, and should be one,—and their gov
esnor proceeds'from the midst of them.
He is one of their own number and in
vested with authority by their consent
and voice.
The people hold the government in
their own hands, they can control the
destiny of the nation, they have a voice
in every matter that concerns their pros
perity or welfare. What more than this
could they ask or desire ? Surely out of
them should proceed thanksgiving and
the voice of theni that make merry, for
their rulers are of themselves and de
pendent upon their will, and their gov
ernor is of their own election.
11. Rulers have an amazing influence
on the morals and destiny of a nation ;
it is a matter of thanksgiving that their
subjects can direct and control that in
fluence,—this is so, or may be so, when
their nobles are of themselves and their
governor proceeds from the midst of
them.
We have no adequate conception ) we
will venture to, affirm of the extent and
power of this influence; it is said of Sera
boem the ruler of Israel that he drove
Israel from following the Lord and made
them sin a great sin, for the children of
Israel walLed in all the sips of Jeroboam
which he ,did.' His influence was felt
two hundred and fifty years after his
death. He corrupted twenty kings in
succession and almost all their subjects ;
'tis said of the kings Nadab, Baasha,
Zimri, Omri, Ahab• Ahaziah, Jehoram t
Jehu, Jehoas, and others on to twenty
that they "walked in the wayofJeroboun
the son of liebat and in the sin where=
with he made Israel to sin."
The heart sends the blood through
the arteries, to every part of the human
system, as the' blood at,the heart,-so is
the blood in all the minute and remote
ramifications of the arteries. The ocean
sends its rolling, surging tide into every
inlet, creek, harbor, river and sea—as
the ocean so are these.
And so rulers as the heart of the na
tion send down their influence through
the body politic, even to the most mi
nute ramifications of society. The tide
of their influence is - felt not only, in the
gieat cities and towns but . penetrates the
most remote province and district: and
is felt in the most distant hamlet.
Single senators have controlled for
years the political destiny of whOle
States. Who can dotibt that the pres
ent anomalous attitude of South Carolina
is ebargable to the influence of her earn-
est, gifted, high-minded, but as we think
mistaken statesman,. John 0. Calhoun,
and that Ow destiny of that •State,

of Otter Stales, and it may be the desti
ny, of;th.e nation is inseperably linked
with him.
John - C. Calhoun' rests in quiet in the
cherished and invaluahle blessings:-
There can be no question that the in 4
fiance of many of ouf public men has
been most aisasterous' upon the niofals
of the nation—many in public life, who
would scorn to rob or defraud an indi
vidual will not hesitate to rob and de=
fraud the government—men high in pub
lic trusts have startled and ardazed the
community bytheir wholesale plunders,
their magnificent frauds. As the conse>
quence of all this the moralsense,"of the
nation is blunted, public crime has re=
ceived anew name and been softened
down or covered over with a kind of re
spectabje garb, and as a matter of course
the influence travels down from the ru
lers to the ruled, from the center to the
circumference, and hence the falsehoods,
the breaches of trust, the acts of tress
pass and bribery and corruption and
fraud and flagrant - violations of law that
so alarmingly and extensively abound.
And upon whom, we ask, rests the re
sponsibility of all this? We maY Strive
to' throw it upon our rulers, but God will
hold.every man responsible, who,lends
a helping hand to place such men in
power. There are, alas, too many men,
moral men, nay christian men, who under
party drill and party influence vote for
corrupt and vicious men, knowing them
to be such. It is a maxim in morals as
well as in law that what a man does by
another he does himself, and if a man
yelps to elevate to oilices of responsibil
ity and trust notoriously incompetent
and unworthy men he is justly chwable
with a share of all the mischief and guilt
caused' by such rulers—such may mourn
over the corruption Of the times and the
degeneracy of our public men and talk
of the need- of reform, but the work of
reform must begin with them, for their I
