Our people, . generally,, we believe, design observing this - day as one .pf thanksgiving, prayer , and . rejoicing. Thanksgiving hasln.ow become a NaUonal holrday! For a "long time f! was observed by the various Colonies and States on the same or different days, bat it is only in late years that the day has been observed by all the States as a National festival. Thanksgiving day was established ly the Puritans in t,he Summer of 1023. As a terrible drought had threatened the total, destruction of! $heir crops, a day of fasting and prayer was set apart by the Colonial authorities-, and observed by the people. This was followed by fine rains, and an abundant harvest .saved ( the people i frpm famine, ;Tn acknowledging this interposition f Divine. Providence .in their behalf,!. the' first American i Thanksgiving was proclaimed and celebrated. Thanksgiving days were aftertrtlU'eeietraie by WelPty. I inouth Cot6iy 6nx-various occasions, 1.1.

For some reason -th celeT" bmtion : of Thanksgiving,', for many" years'was";hft entirely to the States, It? may t have beep 1 J regarded ' as one of 'their reserved rights. If so, it, .with other so-called iitkie rights-wero obliterated by the storm of war,' for "since, then our. Presidents have usurped the privilege of fixing a day fat. all the States.

A Democratic Platform. Our Democratic exchanges, for pome time past, have been very busy in determining; fo,r, the . Republican jarty who! siialf5 bei' ifext candidate' for President, and what shall constitute its platform of principles. For their consideration in this particular, we are. piqrfwiil-gJ stefuhf our political opponents feel such an interest, not to say anxiety, with reference to Our principles and candidates is so

susprestiverpf the trjueiphj of OurpMyJ the ne'xt 'Presidential contCBt, that we thank them for the encour agement they srive us, and assure them that we will endeavor to. profit by it. Parties who are confident of success, give themselves no trouble with reference to the action of their opponents VTTbe Democracy QfiNew-York care ncrlhiri' tbr'the5 "candidates' ptit forward by the Republicans for city and county officers. All their time and attention is occupied in settling disputes abd disseceionsamougthein-?-! selves. Harmony once secured m their ranks, they are utterly indifferent as' to what the Re publicans j $q . or say. j On the other hand, the Republicans of Ver mont never ask themselves who the nominate, or how they propose to conduct the campaign. That party is in such a hopeless minority that it is ef no eonsequenee who are its candidates, or what are its principles. The Republicans know thai they wiil have riio difficulty in defeating their oppodent.by the usual crashing majority-.

We have "".lroadymade known our preference for Mr'. Pendleton for . President. We view him as " the coming man " for a Democratic nomination. We regard him as a representative man. lie has been true to his party in all of Us -anti-union, anti-war, and repudiating proiiivitieV. t He,ltikjh Hex pricks, has .been in favor of all kinds of confederacies," in preference to the Federal Gtfvernmerffei ' He stiU'thinks a 'rebel as good as a Union man, and as much:- entitled to the honors and emoluments of -the- Government.

We have been 'willing fe E'them, to j oppose : everything) the ; 'Republicans advocated. When' (hey opposed every, effort put forth to preserve the Government, they were only carrying out rjheir ideas of opposition, for the Republ icans approved and sustained ; those efforts. But w& are aware that i a bcgitive party cai navar' eniQaa't tomuch in this country, therefore, in we find in one of our exchanges ;sias follows: .. The repudiation of the National Debf 2. Tnessurription of t3ieCtoaf;erte Debt. 3. A Constitutional provision against Negro Suffrage. " 4. A full, complete, universal, uncondi tional Act of Oblivion. a. The restoration ' of all Confiscated Estates. "(" 6. The re-establishment of Human Slavery wherever It has been abolished, t , , 7; The repeal of all -the fecfcristnrctionlaws. .8; Liberty for White Men, Equality for White Men, and Justice for WhHe Men. 10. Slavers' for Black Men,' with Its consequent Inequality and Injustice. We confess that nothing new is presented io the above platform--that it is simply gathering together the floating planks of previous platforms, which were riven asunder and scat tered abroad by the surging tide of patriotism which lately swept overtfthe country that it - b only combining into one fragrant boquet the beautiful flowers which, at different times aod in ' divers places, have previously tickled Democratic nostrils; but, as f something like it seems to be de manded at the present time by the leaders and members of the party, we respectfully submit it for their consideration. . .
