DALLAS, SATURDAY, NOV. 25. OUR KATE OF I'ROGRISSS. Perhaps no time in the history of the world can equal the present in the rate of speed and progress in everything undertaken: As an illustration of the rapidity of the movement of the Amer ican people, we have but to call atten tion to circumstances connected with trie late calamity of Chicago. The Eastern man who was iu a hurry to take the first Western bound train for fear Chicago would be built up before he could get there to see the ruins, was laughed at as witty; but when we think of it in a sober seuse, it is very suggestive Scarcely arc the cinders cold where noble buildings stood, ere the rubbish is removed, and, Alladin like, other houses spring up in their places. Capital is collected, laborers employed, and, with lightning rapidity, everything is replaced, and business proceeds. The live business man find ing it necessary to go to some distant point, is gone and returned before his old i fogy neighbor would realize the necessity of going. Advance, puh ahead, go on, are the inottos followed, if not uttered. Go one way or the other, or clear the sidewalk, is what man is compelled to do, and this is no less true on the street than in business life Politically, this is also true. The Re publican party, with a view to estab lishing our Government on a permanent "basis, have been pushing forward on one side, while the Democracy, having tried and failed, are rushiug past on the other. Finally, seeing what thoy mistook for a break in the Republican ranks, they took a new u Departure," and endeavored to make a raid on the Republican rauks, and insure its defeat, failing in this, and seeing no hope of doing anything for themselves, they are now endeavoring to bring up the rear, and gain the fruits of others' labors. They hope, by not nominating a Dem ocratic ticket, to swing in with some who they think will dissent from Re publican nominations, and thereby se cure the defeat of the party which they could beat in no other way. Vain hope! They are hugging a delusive phantom, chasing an ignvs fatuus which will lead them astray. They are not up to the Tate of progress of the times, and are fast receding from view. Texas and JSew Jersey will not save them, and they are doomed to obliviun. Mean while, the Republic is moving forward "with accelerated speed, already ranking among the first of nations, and the glory which is, is but the dawning of what will be. THAN KM IVING. Next Thursday is the day set apart by proclamation for public return of thanks to an ever bountiful Providence for favors received. The past year has been one of unexampled prosrenty for us, both as a State and nation ; and the recognition in a proper form, both public and private, is our privilege, and bounden duty. It is to be hoped that all will feel ibis, and be governed ac cordingly ; that from every ham'et in the land may rise one unanimous Te JDlvm Laudamus, which shall show that we are not unmindful of favors, and that however much we may be en grossed in the business r. Hairs of life, yet we are not an ungrateful people. Arrangements have peen perfected for a re-union of the Sabbath schools of this place at the Christian Chuich at balf-past nine o'clock on Thursday morning. Everybody is invited to attend and participate in the exercises. At eleven o'clock there will be preach ing at the M. E. Church, by Rev. J. James. It is hoped that a general at tendance will be granted, and that when the shades of night approach on Thursday, that all may feel that they have discharged a duty, ns well as that they have enjoyed the exercise of a precious privilege. LI--. -- J- . 1 . . ... We are gratified to learn that although the presses, material, etc., of the Western Rural and Young Folks Mural w ere destroyed by fire, yet the subscription lists were saved, and that in one month from the time of the fire ! they expect to meet their subscribers again. Who says we are not an active people t Subscribe for the Republican. WfciLULHWMJUU LIE 11, ti uk i uii:msiui Rarely do we see. in these cold, money grabbing times of ours an in- stance of real genuine disinterested friendship. So rarely do they occur, that we are at times almost prompted to acquiesce to the declaration of cyn ics, and say that it is impossible for any man to perforin an act, however trivial it may be, without being prompted by selfish motives. Yet occasionally actions are brought to light which refute all such charges, and prove that man may, through pure good feeling and entirely aside from all selfish mo tives, be prompted to perform acts of kindness for others. We admit that such instances are rare; but when they do occur, like tho oasis in the desert, they stand out iu bold relief, and, how ever backward we may be to acknow ledge them, yet they command the homage of the heart when the tongue is silent. As an illustration of the truth of the assertion that the spirit of pure friendship yet burns iu the human breas, we cite the instance of a young man in the Post Office Depart ment at Washington, who, a short time since, was offered a promotion. This he ueeuueu, on me jjrourui tnai ms salary J was sufficient to supply his wants, Icing young aud unmarried, whilst a fellow if i .i i.i. i i clerk wanted to marry, but could not, his salary not being sufficient to guar- antee the step. He therefore declined ; . .... , ,, i promotion m favor of ms comrade, rewi would expect such an act as this to come from a place like the Postal Department. Yet such are the facts as stated, and we are prone to think that if the motives prompting the actions of people could j be brought to light, such acts would be i moie common than many imagine. All ; dunt than that . f any pn-viou- year honor to the person who, casting aside j Preparations are being made in Sac all selfishness, can perform a favor iVr j raimnto to farm companies to lay down others with no hope of remuneration. narrow-guage railroads through the CHASTITY. We, in our blindness, have been in the habit of looking upon chastity as one of the brightest, gems which adorns the human character. It seems, how- j ever, that in this, as in other matters j i as ciiargeu iy a cotemporary some rime j sir.ee, we have been - in the dark;"! for now comes 't nf.hu 11 tfc Clujlins Wekhi, a woman's paper, edited by I women, and uppoied to be published ' in the true intends of woman, and j thus discourses upon chastity : rather u crime againsc nature. i , ,. ... . ... ,, , , ,. vr , foe liiiir lit flnrnc with f elf-fui-ftaritial huh" Mailing a famine were tttmndam-e lies. It is peevish, proud, and made rf self love, the most inhibited sin in the i canon. It is either want of capacity or j opportunity, want of a heart, or aj bigoted prejudice; orrl-e a mere sham or pretence, a cover for the grossest I crime against the. body." IIow does this agree with the senti- merits and feelings of the strong-mind- j ed of our State 'i Will our sisters of the New Northwest and Pioneer repel such sentiments? Or will they claim that this, loo, is a step towards a " higher type of manhood that chas tity is a crime against nature;" and that to be truly virtuous, we must put ourselves on an equality with the brutes, overcome the force of " bigoted prejudice," break the bonds which we have formerly looked upon as the sale guards of society, and, regardless of the promptings of our better natures, permit a free commerce of the sexes, and thus prevent one of the greatest of sins, a crime born of self-love. We would like an expression from them as to these matters; and if we have been living in slavery, let us break the shackles which have bound us, and rise to the proud level of the brute creation. A PHOCIAMATION. IJy Jovernor of Oregon. Pur-uant to long approved custom, and in thankfulness for the blessings of peace, general health, and abundant harvests, exemption from unusual dis asters by fire and flood, and distresses of disease, which have characterized this State during the past year, I re commend that Thursday, the 00th day of November, 1871, be observed by the people of Oregon as a day of general Thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God for these manifold favors. Given under my band and fhe seal of paid State, at the Executive-Office in Salem, this 8th day of November, A. P. 1871. Ry the Governor, L. F. G ROVER. S. F. CllADWlCK, Sec. of State. The latest returns from the Nfw York State election show the Republi. I can majority to be 19,065. CIRCULATE THIS DOCUMCNtf!. The Real Estate Agents of the City of Portland have presented to the Council of that City a petition asking for tho publication, at the city's cx pense, of fifteen thousand copies of the " Prize Essay on Oregon," to be circu lated by those interested in bringing emigration' and capital to our Stae This should be promptly attended to. With tho advantages of both soil and climate which our State possesses, we must increase rapidly in population and wealth, when the advantages are ouec thoroughly understood. We trust t Lis petition will be promptly complied with, and the inevitable result secured a dense population in our fertile val leys; a rapid development of both agri. cultural and mineral resources, and then Oregon will assume the high po sition among the States to which she is certainly entitled.
